Abstract
Willis K. G. (1972) The influence of spatial structure and socio-economic factors on migration rates. A case study: Tyneside 1961–1966, Reg. Studies 6, 69–82. The 1961 and 1966 Census indicate wide variations in migration rates per 1000 population, though precise analysis is hampered by census tabulation by local authority areas. Numerous theoretical studies have emphasized the importance of the structure of space in which migration occurs, but these have lacked practical application in Britain. From examination of rates on Tyneside, it is shown that spatial structure has a negligible influence on composite migration rates, economic and social factors accounting for most of the variance. A method of analysing a matrix of inter-local authority migration is proposed by which the relative importance of space over localized areas is indicated. Non-linear models are suggested as more applicable in analysing the size and composition of migration streams.
