The statement that is NOT one of Ravenstein’s laws explaining human migration is:

The majority of long-distance migrants are elderly adults in search of better medical care.

Ravenstein's laws generally emphasize that most long-distance migrants are young, single adults, often seeking economic opportunities rather than being primarily elderly individuals seeking medical care.
