Accumulation of social capital[1] is the mechanism by which members of a community, potentially candidates for emigration, gain migration-related knowledge and resources through relatives or friends who have already traveled and moved to the destination area. Social networks also named migration networks[2] lower the cost associated with migration by providing new migrants with information and help in finding work, shelter etc.

The theory of migration networks doesn't play a major role when the size of the city of emigration is big[3].
