    • Demography

    Background:

    • Contextualized within post-industrial economic shifts and declining primary/secondary sectors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate theoretical models explaining these patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Reviewed seven alternative theoretical models.
    • Applied empirical evidence to assess model fit.

    Main Results:

    • A 'segmented structural change' model best explained the data.
    • Immigrants were present at all system levels.
