Everett S. Lee

Everett S. Lee was an American sociologist and demographer known for his research on population movement and migration. He studied how and why people relocate between places, influenced by factors like job opportunities, social networks, and environmental conditions. His work helped reveal the social and economic forces shaping migration patterns, especially in the United States. Lee's most famous contribution is the "Push-Pull" model, which explains how certain factors push people away from their current location and pull them toward new places. His insights remain influential in understanding demographic shifts and urban development.
