Analysis of migrations by age in Belgium 1971-1981

"This paper analyses the migration balances by age of the Belgian communes between the 1970 and 1981 censuses. Migration balances by age are estimated by comparing observed and expected age structures in 1981. The expected figures are computed from figures compiled in 1970 and adequate mortality tables, under the hypothesis of a closed population. People born after the 1970 census are disregarded." The results emphasize the differences between the migration behavior of natives and foreigners. (SUMMARY IN FRE)
