This result in the emergence of 3 concepts:- 1) a demographic interpretation; 2) structural/economic interpretation; 3)Behavioral interpretation.                            David Mitch(of university of Maryland ,Baltimore County;dept. of economics)after relating to evidences collected from marriage register & census records of Birmingham & Norfolk(1851-1881)found that: 1)there has been no clear connection between literacy & geographic mobility but it has been found that literacy resulted in migration & subsequent urbanization. 2)Bureaucratic elements have shaped the career of industrialized Birmingham & agricultural Norfolk.                          Literacy improves the base of job opportunities which in turn increases social mobility causing urbanization.
