Internal migration from and to municipalities in Slovakia with the highest proportion of people living in Roma settlements

The municipalities in Slovakia in which the majority of people live in Roma settlements are characterised by several specific features. However, only limited attention has been paid to the process of migration and especially internal migration. The main goal of this article is the analysis of internal migration in selected municipalities with the highest proportion (more than 80%) of people living in Roma settlements. We tried to identify both the total volume and intensity of internal migration from and to the analysed municipalities, along with the available structural characteristics of the persons who changed their permanent residence. The results we obtained confirmed lower migration dynamics in these municipalities. We also found that economic factors do not play a significant role in migration within Slovakia. The most important reasons for migration were housing, for younger people following a family member who migrated, and, in older age groups, health reasons, especially in the case of emigrants. Factors behind the younger age of migrants from and to these municipalities include the fact that these migrants tend to complete education and begin some family transitions (childbearing, marriage) earlier than the majority population. Higher chances of migration were confirmed for more educated persons and, except among younger people, for people who not married. The results also confirmed the relatively narrow geographical area in which migration occurs, with most moves taking place over a short distance.

Revealing the structures of internal migration: A distance and a time-space behaviour perspectives

Internal migration is an important process investigated by spatial and regional sciences. When intensive, it can significantly change settlement and regional systems. The paper reveals the structures of internal migration based particularly on distance of movements and partly on their motivations. In order to distinguish between short and long distance migration based on informed decision and not on ad hoc threshold (estimate) we employ (i) the concept of the time geography as behavioural framework, (ii) the concept of daily urban (spatial) systems as spatial framework, and (iii) the concept of (sub)urbanisation as theoretical framework. The results are based on the combination of these three concepts, together with the quantitative analysis of statistically recorded internal migration in the Czech Republic (length of movements and their motivations). The daily urban system of the city of Olomouc (the Czech Republic) is further analysed using the time geographic approach and time use diaries of individuals. The analysis of internal migration in the Czech Republic showed us that short distance migration was defined by 50 km upper distance limit, by other motivations than employment, by intra-regional rather than inter-regional flows, and by the existence of areal overlap of activity time spaces before and after the move was completed. Patterns of time-space behaviour for urban and rural (suburban) population sample in the daily urban system of Olomouc have been generalised and two basic types of time space existence of individuals identified: radial for urban population and circular for rural (suburban) population.

Socio-economic and Demographic Analysis of International Migration from Rural Punjab: A Case Study of Patiala District

Based on the primary data covering the period 1951-2019, the study highlights the problems of Brain Drain, Capital Drain, and Loss of Demographic Dividend. As many as 96.62 percent of the people migrated from the age group of 15 to 45 years. Most of the youngsters were migrating just after completing secondary level education. Unemployment, desire to earn more, better living conditions and good administration at the destination, and peer pressure were the main reasons for the migration of the people from rural Punjab. Two-thirds of the migrants sent no remittances to their families. Due to the high cost of migration and low remittances, two-thirds of the households were under debt.

A Gravity Model Analysis of International Migration from Sri Lanka to South-East Asian and European Countries

Since the 1970s, the Middle East region has dominated the foreign employment market of Sri Lanka. However, Sri Lankan migrants have been paying more attention on moving to South-East Asian and European countries as noted in recent decades. In Sri Lanka, there is a substantial lacuna on the macroeconomic studies related to migration although international migration has a significant impact on economic indicators. As a contribution to reduce this gap, this study examines the macroeconomic determinants of international labor migration from Sri Lanka to South-east Asian and European countries using the gravity model of migration. As, in presence of heteroscedasticity, linear estimators result in inconsistency in estimated coefficients unless we use robust standard errors, Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimation technique was used to find the determinants using panel data over the period of 2007 to 2015. Destination-year fixed effects were used to capture unobserved time-variant and time-invariant variables as well as to account for the multilateral resistance. Results reveal that GDP per capita and unemployment rate of Sri Lanka are the push factors which force people to move from Sri Lanka while the destination countries’ population and dependency ratio are the pull factors which attract migrants towards the destination. Moreover, the population of Sri Lanka and poverty headcount ratio were also found as significant determinants of international migration.

A Model of Internal Migration: An Extended Neo-classical Migration Model and Evaluation of Regional Migration Determinants in Poland

The goal of this paper was to carry out an empirical verifi cation of the theoretical model of internal migration and evaluate the infl uence of selected determinants on internal migration in Poland. In order to achieve this goal, an analysis of internal migration in Poland and an econometric analysis were carried out. The analysis was processed using data from 16 voivodeships (i.e. on the NUTS2 level); the analyzed period was from 2003 to 2017. Based on selected theoretical concepts of migration and present studies on internal migration, the theoretical model of internal migration was specifi ed. A total of fi ve models were estimated; fi rst, four models were estimated for all voivodeships and subsequently a GLS estimate was carried out with the so-called “strong region”. Results of the econometric analysis show that regional wage differences together with differences in the unemployment rate determined internal migration, which is in agreement with the assumptions of neo-classical economy. The positive relationship was indicated between the degree of migration and its delayed variable last year, which points simultaneously to the validity of the assumption of the theory of cumulative causation. The test of the dummy variable has shown that the degree of regional migration increased in the period of crisis. From the perspective of push and pull factors, pull factors in the host region were the following determinants: wage, demand for work in the industrial sector of the economy, and foreign human capital; on the contrary, push factors included the increasing unemployment rate, housing costs and the degree of urbanization.

Los retos políticos de la inmigración

Since the dawn of the age of mass migration, over a century ago, scholars have provided general explanations and analytical frameworks for the phenomenon of human migration. Immigration has emerged as an important political issue in receiving countries during the ‘90s. In the disciplines and subdisciplines associated with the study of politics and government, including political sociology, political science, public policy and public administration and international relations, only recently has migration emerged as a field of study. This article centres around the political focus in the analysis of international migration and treats the effects of international migration on political boundaries: territorial borders of states (and the question of control) and the impact of immigration on citizenship and the cultural boundaries of political community.

Contlicts for Land and Territory: An Analysis of Internal Migration in the Rural Areas of Colombia

This article compiles some elements of analysis on the problems of displacement of the rural population in Colombia. To that end, we gathered quantitative and testimonial data and articulated perspectives at national and local levels. Four aspects are discussed: conflicts for land and territory, some characteristics of the displaced population, the uncertainty of the alternatives and the government presence and role.

The System of Korean Cities Based on the Analysis of Internal Migration

The study of city system is to examine the whole relationship through the socio-economic activities among cities. It is fundamentally important to analyse the interrelations among cities using the study of a city's system. However, studies have not been sufficiently undertaken till now because of difficulties in data collection. This study attempts to clarify the system of cities based on the analysis of internal migration in Korea, and to compare it with that of Japan based on the analysis of internal migration (Morikawa, 1985).Data used are The Korean National Migration Surveys published by the National Bureau of Statistics of Economic Planning Board and Korea Institute for Population and Health in 1985. The number of city was 50 in 1983 and the number of analysed cities was 45.Analysis methods are as follows. (1) The types of cities were analysed by the number of out-migrants and in-migrants, and each type was analysed by population size. (2) The spatial patterns of migration among cities were analysed by the nodal flows of the largest and secondary flow of the migration rates (out-migration rates plus in-migration rates). And hierarchical structure of cities was analysed by semi-logarithm graph; vertical axis (logarithm graph) represented the city population size and horizontal axis (arithmetic graph) represented the direct distance of each city from Seoul, and each city was linked by nodal flows.The results are as follows:1. The city growth based on the migration appeared conspicuously in middle rank cities, and small rank cities declined. These phenomena are very similar to Japan. In case of Korea, the development of manufacture is a factor of city growth.2. The spatial patterns of migration among cities appeared in the migration field of national level, and all cities are directly or indirectly linked with Seoul. But in the case of Japan, the migration fields are centered in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. The differences between the two countries are caused strongly by the attraction of population force of capital city and the weak development of local cities in Korea.3. The city's rank of population size consists of 6 ranks, and the Korean city's system shows a typical hierarchical structure as seen in Christaller's model. These phenomena are caused by such factors as agglomeration of functions in capital city and centralization of administrative power system and the lack of interchange between Honam and Yeongnam cities by geomorphological hindrance (Fig. 1). The Japanese city system shows a typical hierarchical structure as seen in Christaller's model, but the capital city gradually encroached the system of the neighborhood local cities made by prefectural center cities of middle rank. Accordingly, the existing hierarchical structure is destroyed, and the direct connection to capital city appeared.4. Centralization of administrative power system and primacy impedes the development of regional center cities in Korea. But, practice of local self-government system caused the development of regional center cities in Japan.5. Level of employments and incomes of high rank cities are the highest in terms of the economic characteristics of each hierarchical rank, and middle rank cities appeared higher. But regional center cities appeared lower than middle rank cities in level of employments and incomes. These phenomena became an important obstacle factor of the development in regional center cities.As mentioned above, system of cities in Korea does not consist of well developed hierarchy of metropolitan city—regional center city—prefectural city—local city as Japan. Especially, because regional center cities are undeveloped, and provincial center cities are not dominant in the province cities, it is necessary to promote a more regular hierarchical system.

The Japanese Urban System Based on the Analysis of Internal Migration

It is important for the study of an urban system to clarify the functional characteristics of each city as an element of the urban system and to analyse the interrelations among the cities. However, the studies of the latter have not been undertaken till now because of difficulties in data collection. Fortunately, migration data for each city during the one year after October 1979 were published in Vol. 6 of the 1980 Population Census of Japan. Using this the writer atempts to make clear the characteristics of interrelations in the Japanese urban system. The results are summarized as follows:1. The Japanese urban system presents a typical hierarchical structure as seen in Christaller's model. Differing from Pred's model of innovation diffusion, the migration flows between cities of the same order or between larger and smaller cities, independent of tributary areas, are large on neither volume nor proportion. As shown in Fig. 3, Osaka follows Tokyo, the national centre. Then come Sapporo, Fukuoka, Sendai and Hiroshima, regional urban centres. Viewed functionally and structurally, Nagoya also is included in this group. Following it appear central cities, mostly consisting of prefectural centres, that get nodal flows of over 10 percent from some cities of smaller scale within their own prefecture. Yokohama, Kyoto and Kobe, in the Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas respectively, are considered as satellite centres; they do not attain the level of functional allotments in each metropolitan area.2. As seen in Fig. 1, the metropolitan dominance of Tokyo has expanded remarkably. Not only Ibaragi, Tochigi and Gumma prefectures in the northern Kanto district, but also Fukushima in Tohoku, and Yamanashi and Nagano in the Chubu district are included in its area. It seems that in these prefectures the prefectural centres, occasionally in conjunction with the second largest cities, had once formed their own local urban systems.3. By the analysis of social increase of the urban population and the net migration ratio of nodal flows for each city, three types of cities are recognized (B, C and D types as shown in Fig. 4). Most of the smaller cities with less than 100, 000 inhabitants show a social decrease and net out-migration to central cities so that they continue to decline as before. Although the return migrations to native town or to neighbouring larger cities has normally been recognized since Japan's high economic growth period (about 1960 to 1973), these phenomena account for only a part of out-migrants. On the other hand, central cities and regional urban centres show social increase in spite of the net out-migration of nodal flows to metropolitan centres. Accordingly, we can see that such central cities and regional urban centres play a role in absorbing the population from surrounding areas and losing their own population to metropolitan centres. Within the metropolitan areas, satellite towns continue to increase in population, not only from natural increase of their own population but also from the net in-migration from the metropolitan centres. Therefore, as long as such migration flows continue, the hierarchical structure of the national urban system will continue to be developed and at the same time the regional disparity between metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas will continue to expand in contrast with Western countries.4. The metropolitan areas such as Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya continue to dominate a hierarchical structure. Intermetropolitan migration between them has not been developed until now. Because of the dominance of nodal flows, the second or third largest flows, such as the inter-metropolitan migration between Osaka and Nagoya, are not so great in volume. Without structural changes in the urban system, we cannot say that the Tokaido Megalopolis is completely formed.

Causal modeling in international migration research: a methodological prolegomenon.

The authors examine the value of using models to study the migration process. In particular they demonstrate the potential utility of a partial least squares modeling approach to the causal analysis of international migration. (ANNOTATION)

A Typology of internal migration

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)

Duration-of-Residence Analysis of Internal Migration in the United States

collection and analysis of new types of data, as well as by further analysis of the existing types of data. Much effort can be profitably devoted to the development of new approaches to available data. (1, 2) Nevertheless, many of the questions we may pose about internal migration cannot be answered by analysis of the census data or the Current Population Survey annual residential mobility series. New types of migration data are needed, based on additional migration questions. This paper discusses the migration information provided by a question on duration of residence, and presents the first national migration data derived from this approach. Comparisons of current residence with residence at a fixed previous time, as in the migration questions in the 1940 and 1950 censuses and in the CPS, overlook multiple (including circular) migrations by individuals. From decennial censuses can be derived estimates only of net migration. Both approaches are thus directly concerned with population redistributions, and only inferentially with specific moves. Both approaches permit the delineation of some of those persons who have made at least one move, but do not differentiate the migration experiences of the great majority who have the same residence at one, five, or ten-year intervals. The duration-of-residence approach, on the other hand, provides direct information on a portion of the actual migration history of each individual. The duration of residence represents the length of time since the last move. Duration-of-residence data thus provide information on the latest segment of the residence history of each individual. 1 Paper read at the annual meeting of the Population Association of America,
