The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the accuracy of Zipf’s hypothesis in estimating interstate migration streams in the United States, and then to determine whether the predictive power of Zipf’s hypothesis can be improved by adding additional variables. The three independent variables in Zipf’s hypothesis accounted for 57 percent of the variation in interstate migration streams in 1935–1940, 61 percent in 1949–1950, and 68 percent in 1955–1960. The addition of per capita personal income of the states of origin and of destination increased the explained variance by only four percentage points in 1935–1940 and by less than one percentage point in 1949–1950 and 1955–1960. Then, the Petersen-Greenwood hypothesis that interstate migration streams in any period are a function of previous flows was tested by adding cumulative lifetime migration as an independent variable. Over 80 percent of the variation in interstate migration streams was explained by cumulative lifetime mobility, as reflected by state of birth data. The conclusion of the study is that the Petersen-Greenwood hypothesis provides a better estimate of interstate migration streams than does Zipf’s hypothesis. Nevertheless, the Petersen Greenwood hypothesis requires further evaluation to determine whether cumulative lifetime mobility is simply a proxy for some other underlying variable and whether it provides accurate estimates of migration streams for other geographic areas. 相似文献

Abstract Statistics ofpersons classified jointly by county of birth and county ofresidence have been published in the England and Wales census volumes since 1851 and the present study draws mainly on these data. A group of persons recorded in a census as natives of county A and residents of county Bare sometimes referred to as lifetime migrants from county A to county B. Statistics of lifetime migrants have often been used in studies of internal migration but these have one great disadvantage. The number of lifetime migrants from A to B does not relate to a specific period of time. It is impossible, for example, in such studies to consider the association between specific migration streams and differential economic activity. An attempt is made in this study to transform lifetime migration data into intercensal migration streams. Some of the results are presented and the most significant migration patterns during the period 1851-1951 are described. 相似文献

Internal migration intensities fluctuate over time, but both migration levels and trends show great diversity. The dynamics underpinning these trends remain poorly understood because they are analyzed almost exclusively by applying period measures to cross-sectional data. This article proposes 10 cohort measures that can be applied to both prospective and retrospective data to systematically examine long-term trends. To demonstrate their benefits, the proposed measures are applied to retrospective survey data for England that provide residential histories from birth to age 50 for cohorts born between 1918 and 1957. The analysis reveals stable lifetime migration for men but increased lifetime migration for women associated with earlier ages at moving in adulthood and a compression of intervals between consecutive moves. The proposed cohort measures provide a more comprehensive picture of migration behavior and should be used to complement period measures in exploring long-term trends. Increasing availability of retrospective and longitudinal survey data means that researchers can now apply the proposed measures to a wide range of countries. 相似文献

Comparable lifetime migration relationships are estimated for Mexico for 1950, 1960, and 1970. Moreover, migration flows from each state to every other state are separately examined for each year. A number of significant changes over time are evident in the responsiveness of Mexican internal migrants to various socioeconomic stimuli, and appreciable differences are also evident across space. Moreover, a threshold is observed such that up to about 340 miles higher origin earnings deter migration, but beyond this distance higher earnings actually encourage migration. 相似文献

Cultural barriers in migration between OECD countries 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper uses a unique set of new indicators enabling us to test the effects of cultural barriers on migration between OECD
countries. Using data on migration flows between 22 OECD countries over the period 1990–2003, we find strong evidence for
the negative effect of cultural differences on international migration flows. Cultural barriers do a much better job in explaining
the pattern of migration flows between developed countries than traditional economic variables such as income and unemployment
differentials. 相似文献

A nation’s population is redistributed through migration flows and counterflows between its constituent subnational areas,
resulting in a geographical pattern of net migration gains or losses which may change from one time period to another. Migration
effectiveness is the indicator commonly used to measure net migration as a proportion of gross migration turnover for any
territorial unit. This paper explores the effect of net migration in two different countries, Australia and the United Kingdom,
using measures of migration effectiveness computed from period-age migration data sets for a system of city regions assembled
for four consecutive five-year periods in each country. While the evidence suggests that the overall effectiveness of net
migration has declined over the 20-year period in both countries, marked similarities and contrasts are apparent in the spatial
patterning of migration that together provide useful analytical insights into the changing space economies of the two countries. 相似文献

Recovery migration to the City of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina: a migration systems approach 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Hurricane Katrina’s effect on the population of the City of New Orleans provides a model of how severe weather events, which are likely to increase in frequency and strength as the climate warms, might affect other large coastal cities. Our research focuses on changes in the migration system—defined as the system of ties between Orleans Parish and all other U.S. counties—between the pre-disaster (1999–2004) and recovery (2007–2009) periods. Using Internal Revenue Service county-to-county migration flow data, we find that in the recovery period, Orleans Parish increased the number of migration ties with and received larger migration flows from nearby counties in the Gulf of Mexico coastal region, thereby spatially concentrating and intensifying the in-migration dimension of this predominantly urban system, while the out-migration dimension contracted and had smaller flows. We interpret these changes as the migration system relying on its strongest ties to nearby and less-damaged counties to generate recovery in-migration. 相似文献

This paper addresses the question of how to formally represent the spatial structure of an observed origin‐destination‐specific pattern of interregional migration flows. Such a representation allows an analyst to compare the spatial structures of different migration regimes and contrast their changes over time. It also facilitates the indirect estimation of migration flows, in the absence of such data, by allowing the analyst to impose a particular age or spatial structure when observed flow data are inadequate, partial, or completely nonexistent. In this paper, we focus on the level and allocation aspects (or the generation and distribution components) of age‐specific interregional migration flows. We find that over time these flows exhibit strong regularities that can be captured by generalized linear models, which can then be used in situations where data are inadequate or missing to indirectly estimate interregional migration patterns. 相似文献

"In this paper, we apply model schedules to graduate data on the internal and external regional [U.S.] migration patterns of the foreign-born population for the 1950-1990 period.... To find estimates of the unrecorded migration flows in-between for four census-defined periods in our study (that is, for 1950-1955, 1960-1965, 1970-1975, and 1980-1985) we interpolate between the data of adjacent census time periods. Finally, we combine the estimated migration data with the corresponding mortality data to calculate and analyze the multiregional life tables and projections associated with each five-year time interval."

There is no single framework in place in the United Kingdom for collating and harmonizing the data on migration taking place between the subnational administrative units that constitute the home nations, together with the flows of international migration between these areas and the ‘rest of the world’. This paper proposes the construction of complete matrices of subnational migration statistics on an annual basis which can then be used to monitor migration trends throughout the UK in a comprehensive manner. The paper reviews how various ‘known’ flows are estimated by the national statistics agencies and develops estimates to fill in the gaps in the matrices. It then looks at changing patterns of migration in the UK between 2001/2002 and 2010/2011, showing that migration exhibits most activity in the middle of the decade. Flows within the home nations are the most consistent over time, while the patterns of international migration and migration across the borders of the home nations exhibit more substantial change. The latter flows, although relatively small in magnitude, have not previously been studied at the subnational level in any detail. Patterns of subnational internal and international net migration are found to be negatively correlated. 相似文献

This paper studies how increasing migration changes the character of migrant streams in sending communities. Cumulative causation
theory posits that past migration patterns determine future flows, as prior migrants provide resources, influence, or normative
pressures that make individuals more likely to migrate. The theory implies exponentially increasing migration flows that are
decreasingly selective. Recent research identifies heterogeneity in the cumulative patterns and selectivity of migration in
communities. We propose that this heterogeneity may be explained by individuals’ differential access to previously accumulated
migration experience. Multi-level, longitudinal data from 22 rural Thai communities allow us to measure the distribution of
past experience as a proxy for its accessibility to community members. We find that migration becomes a less-selective process
as migration experience accumulates, and migrants become increasingly diverse in socio-demographic characteristics. Yet, selectivity
within migrant streams persists if migration experience is not uniformly distributed among, and hence not equally accessible
to, all community members. The results confirm that the accumulation and distribution of prior migrants’ experiences distinctly
shape future migration flows, and may lead to diverging cumulative patterns in communities over time. 相似文献

Interrelations between migration and fertility in Thailand 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Sidney Goldstein 《Demography》1973,10(2):225-241
Based on special tabulations of 1960 census data on migration within Thailand, this analysis attempts to assess the role of migration in the urbanization process and the relation between migration and fertility. The importance of migration to urban growth is evidenced by the clearcut positive relationship between the percentage of persons classified as either lifetime or 5-year migrants and the urban character of their 1960 place of residence. Yet, the evidence also points to an increasing proportion of urban growth in recent decades attributable to natural increase. The specific relation between fertility and migration varies depending on the measure of migration used: Compared to nonmigrants in their place of destination, the fertility levels of lifetime migrants are not very different; but those of 5-year migrants are considerably lower. Regardless of migration status, however, fertility level is markedly lower for those living in urban places compared to those in rural places. This suggests the important role of both migration and urbanization in affecting fertility levels in Thailand. 相似文献

Internal migration has become an increasingly significant element in the redistribution of population and in the planning of socio-economic development in China. Based on the 1987 survey, the 1990 census, and additional data from the 1995 survey, this paper investigates the regional concentration of China's interprovincial migration flows and the gender differential in such concentration. The analysis was undertaken using the coefficient of variation (CV) indices of out- and in-migration flows for each province. The CV indices confirm that each province has its own migration flow field, and the differences lie mainly in the degree of the regional concentration. The asymmetry between out- and in-migration flow fields suggests that China's interprovincial migration has resulted from an interplay of several factors, such as the uneven distribution of the economy, inflow of trans-national capital into pockets of its provinces, and relaxed control over rural-to-urban migration. Findings also illustrate that a select number of provinces play an important role in redistributing migrants in China, specifically, in provinces such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan and Hunan. Investigation of the gender differential in the CV indices reveals that female migration flows are more regionally concentrated than male migration flows. This finding is significant in understanding migration constraints for Chinese women. 相似文献

Contemporary levels of international migration in less-developed countries are raising new and important questions regarding
the consequences of immigration for human welfare and well-being. However, there is little systematic cross-national evidence
of how international migration affects human development levels in migrant-receiving countries in the less-developed world.
This paper addresses this gap in the literature by assessing the impact of cumulative international migration flows on the
human development index, a composite measure of aggregate well-being. A series of panel models are estimated using a sample
of less-developed countries for the period, 1970–2005. The results indicate that higher levels of international migration
are associated with lower scores on the human development index, net of controls, but that the effect of international migration
is relatively small. 相似文献

Place-of-birth-by-residence data, tabulated by age and sex for the same areal units in two successive censuses, have been used to estimate intercensal net migration flows. However, a fuller use of the same data permits the estimation of place-to-place flows. This paper describes a method for estimating intercensal migration streams from place-of-birth-by-residence data and illustrates its application with data on the white female native population of the United States. 相似文献

US census data from 1940 to 2000 are used in this paper to illustrate the importance of origin dependence on migration streams
and to examine the effects of such dependence on patterns of interregional migration. These findings are then used to make
possible the indirect estimation of migration flows. A method is introduced that uses historical regularities found in the
ratios of secondary to primary migration and two consecutive birthplace-specific counts of multiregional population stocks.
The results demonstrate how patterns of primary and secondary migration act to shape population redistribution processes. 相似文献

This study analyses the key factors that shape inter-governorates migration in Tunisia, focusing mainly on the role of demographic, geographical and socio-economic factors in driving migration flows. It uses basic and extended gravity models, as well as Poisson pseudo-maximum-likelihood model for modeling migration data to assess the relative importance of distance, job market characteristics and economic variables. The main findings reveal that inter-governorate migrations in Tunisia are affected by high population size at the origin and destination locations, high unemployment rate at the origin and low unemployment rate at the destination. The results suggest also that migration flows are negatively affected by high job vacancies and the annual average per capita household expenditure at the origin. 相似文献
