Regional adjustment and migration flows in Canada, 1971 to 1981
Papers. Regional Science Association. Meeting
|January 1, 1989
Summary
This study examines migration flows and their connection to employment changes in Canada. Findings align with expectations but prompt further interpretation regarding regional economic adjustments.
Area of Science:
- Economics
- Sociology
- Regional Science
Background:
- Understanding the dynamics between population movement and labor markets is crucial for regional development.
- Previous research has explored migration determinants and economic impacts separately.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the interlinkages between domestic migration (in- and out-migration), net international migration, and regional employment change.
- To test these relationships within a comprehensive model of regional economic adjustment.
Main Methods:
- Utilized Canadian census data from 1971 and 1981 for a cross-section analysis.
- Employed a model of regional adjustment incorporating migration, employment, and wage changes as endogenous variables.
- Analyzed 183 distinct Canadian regions (counties or equivalents).
Main Results:
- Empirical results generally supported the hypothesized interlinkages between migration flows and employment dynamics.
- The study identified specific patterns in how different migration types relate to regional employment shifts.
- Observed relationships were broadly consistent with economic and demographic expectations.
Conclusions:
- The findings provide empirical evidence for the interconnectedness of migration and employment at a regional level.
- The results necessitate further nuanced interpretation regarding the causal mechanisms and implications for regional policy.
- The study highlights the complexity of regional adjustment processes influenced by population mobility.

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.
01:09Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift
In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).Mechanisms of Genetic VariationThe original sources of genetic variation are mutations,...
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.
01:12Regional 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...
01:22Applications of Life Tables
Life tables are versatile across various fields, providing a quantitative basis for analyzing mortality and survival rates. Whether used by demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, or sociologists, life tables offer valuable insights into the dynamics of life and death, facilitating informed decisions in public health, insurance, conservation, and beyond. Their broad applicability highlights the interconnectedness of demographic data with practical outcomes in everyday life and strategic...
