During Englands urbanization over the century 1776-1871 immigration played a far greater role than it has in the countries of the Third World. Owing to the concentration of immigrants in the age group 15-29 years dependency rates were far lower in the cities than in the countryside while labor participation rates were higher. This young-adult selectivity bias diminished the requirements for factor transfers between lagging agricultural areas and booming industrial centers and augmented the ability of cities to save while lowering their relief burdens. In time it also enabled cities to satisfy their growing labor force requirements through natural increase thus diminishing their need for more immigrants. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA) (EXCERPT)
