Migration and settlement: a multiregional comparative study
Environment & Planning A
|December 1, 1983
Summary
This study analyzed migration and population distribution across seventeen nations using multiregional demography. It provides insights into mortality, fertility, and migration patterns for demographic research.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Population Studies
- Sociology
Background:
- Initiated in 1976 by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).
- Focused on migration and population distribution patterns in seventeen member nations.
- Employed national scholars and multiregional demographic techniques.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the organization and methodology of a large-scale comparative demographic study.
- To evaluate the main results concerning population dynamics.
- To review methodological research generated by the study.
Main Methods:
- Application of multiregional demography techniques.
- Analysis of national and subnational data on mortality, fertility, and migration.
- Consideration of age composition and regional population distribution.
Main Results:
- Detailed examination of population distribution and redistribution.
- Identification of key drivers of demographic change within member nations.
- Evaluation of the effectiveness of multiregional demographic models.
Conclusions:
- Recommendations for researchers conducting multiregional demographic analyses.
- Insights into comparative population patterns across diverse national contexts.
- Emphasis on the importance of integrated demographic factors.

01:09Cell Migration
Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.
00:53Migration
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.
01:19Cell Migration
Cell migration is a process by which the cells move from one location to another, playing an essential role in embryological development, repair and regeneration, immune response, and metastasis. Cells migrate in response to chemical or mechanical signals generated by specific organs or tissues. The overall mechanism includes three steps - polarization, protrusion, and release. Polarization involves the formation of a distinct cell front and rear, which determines the direction of movement.
01:12Regional Terms
Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the body parts into different regions that contain structures involved in contributing similar functions. Using these terms helps increase the accurate description and identification of the particular region of interest or region affected by the disease.
Primarily, the human body has two major regions, the axial and appendicular regions. The axial region comprises regions from the head to the abdomen and makes up the central body axis. In contrast,...

01:17Region of Convergence
The z-transform is a powerful mathematical tool used in the analysis of discrete-time signals and systems. It is a crucial tool in the analysis of discrete-time systems, but its convergence is limited to specific values of the complex variable z. This range of values, known as the Region of Convergence (ROC), is fundamental in determining the behavior and stability of a system or signal. The ROC defines the region in the complex plane where the z-transform converges, which can take various...
01:27Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...
