    Elderly adults migrate from high-earning states and into high-unemployment states, unlike younger populations. This suggests differing migration patterns and potential resource reallocation between states.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Economics
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Interstate migration patterns significantly shape regional demographics and economies.
    • Understanding the drivers of migration for different age groups is crucial for policy development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the determinants of interstate in-migration and out-migration for non-elderly (5-54) and elderly (55+) populations.
    • To identify similarities and differences in migration drivers between these age groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of interstate migration data for distinct age cohorts.
    • Statistical examination of factors influencing in-migration and out-migration rates.

    Main Results:

    • States with high worker earnings attract elderly out-migration.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • States with high unemployment experience elderly in-migration.
  • Migration determinants for the elderly are often opposite to those for the non-elderly.

    • Conclusions:

    • Divergent spatial distribution of younger and older populations is likely to continue.
    • Potential for significant resource reallocation between states, particularly for programs serving the elderly.
