Abstract

Paris J. D. (1970) Regional/structural analysis of population changes, Reg. Studies 4, 425–443. Regional/structural analysis of population changes tries to identify some of the causes underlying inter-regional differences of growth. Differences between regional and national rates are explained by two components: the first reflects the structural capacity of a region to grow slowly or quickly (it is proved to be a relatively stable element in population changes); the second, the regional component, measures the ability of the region to perform in a manner which is different from the manner its structure would have implied (this element reveals the role of competitive migration among regions and shows much greater variations). Understanding these two components helps not only in historical analyses but provides also a reasonable sounding board for checking population projections.
