Kinship Ties

Kinship ranks second only to economic factors in social-scientific attempts to explain who migrates, when they move, and where they go. A person’s household circumstances are commonly thought to influence his or her propensity to move, as is the presence of other kin in the same community. Furthermore, the existence and location of kin in other communities are commonly thought to affect both the propensity to move and the choice of destination. Much of the international migration literature, accordingly, focuses on kin chains of migration, while much of the contemporary internal migration literature focuses on rural-urban kinship ties and on the continuing importance of extended kinship ties in societies experiencing high rates of urban-bound migration.

And Migration

The distribution of foreigners is becoming an essential part of the sociogeographical differentiation of Czechia. In addition to international migration, the spatial distribution pattern of foreigners are further modified according to their internal mobility, which, compared to the Czech population, is much higher. This mobility is influenced by the precise position of foreigners in the labour market and their increased flexibility. Prague is the most attractive centre for international migration. It functions as a gateway city and represents the most important target for the internal migration of foreigners as well. The results of quantitative analysis show possible trends in regional differences in net migration and the reasons behind these processes, including primarily economic factors.

Population Pressures

During the last half of the nineteenth century, major population shifts occurred throughout Western Europe, reflecting heavy international migration as well as internal movement from rural to urban places. The latter process, in particular, has been an integral part of the modernization process and was a response both to rural population pressures and to expanding opportunities in the cities. Yet the pace of urbanization was by no means uniform for different countries, in different regions of the same country, or among various subgroups within a single region or province. As a result, analyses using large geographic units or aggregated statistics may mask variations in the underlying dynamics of internal migration.

And Migration

This article describes the development of the Norwegian Historical Population Register, which is the first open national register. In the period 1735–1964, 9.7 million people lived in Norway, and for them 37.5 million events (such as birth, death, or migration) have been recorded in sources. We link together as many events as possible for the same persons and families, but only include links that have a high probability of being correct. The linking is performed by automatic methods and crowdsourcing. A national population register is important for migration research. It allows us to reconstruct (stepwise) internal migration in Norway, frequently followed by international migration from Norway, as well as return migration to Norway. Many non-Norwegian sources also specify place of birth by country, and this makes it possible to identify individuals in Norwegian sources.

Region Of Residence

This paper studies wealth within an area of Finland that is settled by two ethnic groups: Finnish speakers and Swedish speakers. They are equal and similar in most observable respects, but differ greatly on internal migration background. Most of the Swedish speakers were born in the area, whereas many of the Finnish speakers have migrated into it from other parts of the country. The primary aim of the paper is to analyse whether this differential is interrelated with potential wealth variation. Data covering the years 1991 to 1999 reveal that the Swedish speakers have substantially higher wealth levels than the Finnish speakers, and that variation in economic wellbeing interrelates with whether or not the person was born in the present region of residence. The results suggest that failures in economic assimilation, as discussed in the international migration literature, may be found also when studying people who differ on internal migration background.

Economic Factors

Internal migration plays an important role in the redistribution of the population which normally accompanies industrialization. This was clearly the case in nineteenth-century England, where a major redistribution of the population occurred during the Industrial Revolution. Despite its potential theoretical importance, however, relatively little attention has been paid to the dynamics of internal migration in this classic example of industrialization.

And Migration

Although the migration – development nexus is widely recognized as a complex one, it is generally thought that there is a relationship between poverty and emigration, and that remittances lessen inequality. On the basis of Latin American and Mexican data, this chapter intends to show that for Mexico, the exchange of migrants for remittances is among the lowest in Latin America, that extreme poor Mexicans don't migrate although the moderately poor do, that remittances have a small, non-significant impact on the most widely used inequality index of all households and a very large one on the inequality index of remittance-receiving households, and finally that, to Mexican households, the opportunity cost of international migration is higher than remittance income. In summary, there is a relationship between poverty and migration (and vice versa), but this relationship is far from linear, and in some respects may be a perverse one for Mexico and for Mexican households.
