Interdistrict migration in Great Britain 1980-81: a multistream model with a commuting option
This study models district-level migration flows in Great Britain (1980-81), incorporating commuting as an alternative to residential moves. It reveals geographical patterns of migration drivers.
Area of Science:
- Human Geography
- Spatial Demography
- Migration Studies
Background:
- Existing three-stream migration models provide a framework for understanding population movement.
- Modeling district-level migration flows is crucial for regional planning and policy.
- The 1980-81 period in Great Britain offers a specific context for migration analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To extend an existing three-stream migration model to represent district-district flows within Great Britain.
- To incorporate commuting as a distinct choice for migrants seeking new workplaces.
- To analyze the geographical patterns of migration 'pushes' and 'pulls'.
Main Methods:
- Adoption and extension of a three-stream migration model.
- Inclusion of a commuting option for individuals finding new employment.
- Application of a logistic function of distance to model migration streams.
- Analysis of flow distributions across local, regional, and national levels.
Main Results:
- The extended model provides a novel representation of district-district migration flows for 1980-81.
- The study identifies the distribution of migration flows across different streams (local, regional, national).
- Geographical patterns of factors influencing migration (pushes and pulls) are detailed for each region.
Conclusions:
- The extended three-stream model offers a more nuanced understanding of internal migration dynamics.
- Incorporating commuting significantly enhances the representation of migration choices.
- The findings provide valuable insights into the spatial patterns and drivers of migration in Great Britain.
