Abstract
The objective of this article is to show that traditional literature on internal migration or population mobility discusses a number of dimensions of (or types of) flows of people. These aspects of repeat migration cyclic or return migration population turnovers long-term stability and population growth are used to define a multivariate Mover-Stayer Typology. The typology specifies 32 patterns of internal migration or population mobility. The authors suggest that the major implication resulting from development of Mover-Stayer Typology is that mobility or migration cannot be measured by a single measure but must take into account its varied aspects. The central theme of article is that mobility or migration is not a variable but is a complex of variables...and that analyses of internal migration that fail to consider various aspects of mobility noted are conceptually as well as methodologically unsound. An illustration based on Canadian data is included. (summary in FRE) (EXCERPT)
