Recent trends in migration between core and peripheral regions in developed and advanced developing countries
International Regional Science Review
|January 1, 1988
Summary
Internal migration to developed countries' core regions increased in the 1980s after a 1970s decline. While some areas show balanced flows, others like Eastern Europe still exhibit significant coreward migration.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Urban Studies
- Economic Geography
Background:
- Internal migration patterns significantly shape regional development and population distribution.
- Understanding migration trends is crucial for policy-making in developed and developing economies.
- The 1970s saw a notable decrease in migration towards core regions globally.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze trends in net internal migration to core regions during the 1980s.
- To compare migration patterns across developed countries in Europe, North America, and Asia.
- To identify shifts in population movement from periphery to core areas.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of national-level net internal migration data.
- Comparative study of migration flows between core and peripheral regions.
- Examination of migration trends across different geographical areas including Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Main Results:
- Net internal migration to core regions increased in the 1980s, though not reaching 1960s levels.
- Some Northwest European countries experienced balanced core-periphery migration flows.
- Eastern Europe continued to show moderate, uninterrupted net migration to core regions, unlike Western counterparts.
Conclusions:
- The 1980s marked a partial resurgence of coreward migration in developed nations.
- Migration dynamics varied significantly by region, with some showing reversals or stabilization.
- Continued high rates in South Korea and Taiwan suggest persistent core-ward pull factors.

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.
02:12Short-distance Transport of Resources
Short-distance transport refers to transport that occurs over a distance of just 2-3 cells, crossing the plasma membrane in the process. Small uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can diffuse across the plasma membrane on their own. In contrast, ions and larger molecules require the assistance of transport proteins due to their charge or size. Transport across membranes also occurs within individual cells, playing a variety of essential roles for the plant as a whole.
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...
01:10Central Tendency: Analysis
Measures of central tendency are tools used in biostatistics to identify the average or center of a dataset. They offer a single representative value for understanding and summarizing data distribution.
The mean is one such measure, calculated by totaling all values in a dataset and dividing by the number of values. For instance, the mean blood pressure reading (120, 130, 140, 150) would be 135. However, the mean can be affected by extreme values or outliers.
The median, another measure,...

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...
