Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the outflow of population from farm households' during the years 1921-62, with the exception of the decade surrounding World War II. In Section I, changes in the net outflow of farm population are examined with special reference to their relationship with fluctuations in economic activity. The period analyzed may not be sufficient, so two longer series for internal population migration are examined in the later part of this section. The first is the net migration of population into the prefectures containing the six largest cities since 1885. The second is the flow of population into Hokkaido since 1882. Examination of these series may shed light on population migration from agriculture in the earlier years. In Section II, an econometric model of the demand and supply functions for the net outflow of farm population is set forth. By estimating the parameters of this model, the determinants of population outflow from agriculture are delineated.
