Our main assumption is that such migration can arise from a lack of available modern urban consumer goods in rural areas. Taking this hypothesis as our starting point, we use a dual economy model where individuals seek to maximize utility and we show that although the Todaro paradox might hold, Harris and Todaro's prescription to stop migration is not necessarily adequate. Our analysis thus reveals that an appropriate urban consumer goods supply policy in rural areas could stop migration and solve related urban unemployment problemsJEL classification: R23, D11, C62.
