whats the difference between step migration and chain migration?

Answer 1

"Step migration: a series of small, less extreme locational changes are steps. For example, if a person moves from a farm to a small town, then to a larger town and finally a city, it is an example of step migration.

Chain migration is the idea that there exists an established linkage or chain from the point of origin for migrants to their destination. The process of migration is assisted by migrants who already live in the destination. They help their friends and relatives to make the migration by providing them information, money, and place to stay, perhaps a job, and emotional support. People immigrate to locations where they find connections and a measure of familiarity."
