Migrant information and the remigration decision: further evidence
Southern Economic Journal
|April 1, 1985
Summary
Previous migration success influences remigration decisions. A disappointing income experience after an initial move can prompt individuals to move again, especially if the prior move was short-distance.
Area of Science:
- Sociology
- Economics
- Human Geography
Background:
- Understanding remigration drivers is crucial for migration studies.
- Previous research has not fully explored the link between prior move outcomes and subsequent migration decisions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between the success of a previous move and the decision to remigrate.
- To examine the influence of prior move distance on remigration.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of data from approximately 5,000 individuals who initially migrated between Canadian regions in 1968-1969.
- Statistical examination of factors influencing remigration decisions, including income experience and move distance.
Main Results:
- A negative income experience following an initial move significantly increases the likelihood of remigration.
- The distance of the previous move also plays a role in the remigration decision.
Conclusions:
- Financial outcomes of initial migration are key determinants of subsequent moves.
- Individuals experiencing disappointing income after migrating may choose to move again, particularly if the initial move was over a shorter distance.

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.
02:39Gene Flow
Gene flow is the transfer of genes among populations, resulting from either the dispersal of gametes or from the migration of individuals.
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.
01:21Chemotaxis and Direction of Cell Migration
Cells can detect chemical cues in their environment and reorganize the cytoskeleton to migrate toward them or away from them. This directional migration, called chemotaxis, is essential during embryogenesis and development, immune response, tissue repair and regeneration, and reproduction. These chemical cues can either attract or repel the cell's movement. For example, axon development is determined by a combination of chemoattractants and chemorepellents that direct the growing axon towards...
01:32Cytoskeletal Coordination in Cell Migration
A migrating cell changes its shape during the cyclic events of attachment and detachment from the substratum and repositions the cell organelles correspondingly. These complex events are orchestrated by the dynamic cytoskeletal network comprising actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Cytoskeletal crosstalk — the direct and indirect communication between the different components — is crucial for this coordination. Direct communication involves various linker proteins that...
