Domestic Migration (domestic + migration)
Selected AbstractsCountervailing Immigration and Domestic Migration in Gateway Cities: Australian and Canadian Variations on an American ThemeECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY, Issue 3 2007David Ley Abstract: This article addresses the spatial regularity of countervailing population flows of immigration and net domestic migration, respectively, into and out of large gateway cities. This regularity has been noted most often in the United States, and the argument presented here makes two new contributions. First, it extends the analysis to the principal Australian and Canadian gateway cities of Sydney and Toronto, making use of an extended time series of annual data. Second, it argues for the importance of the neglected effects of housing markets, in contrast to conventional accounts that stress cultural avoidance or labor market competition, in differentiating the two demographic streams. The article shows how trends in the housing market separate the locational preferences of immigrants from two diverse groups of domestic migrants. [source] Immigrant Gateways and Hispanic Migration to New Destinations,INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION REVIEW, Issue 3 2009Daniel T. Lichter Our understanding of the underlying demographic components of population change in new Hispanic destinations is limited. In this paper, we (1) compare Hispanic migration patterns in traditional settlement areas with new growth in emerging Hispanic destinations; (2) examine the role of immigration vis-à-vis domestic migration in spurring Hispanic population redistribution; and (3) document patterns of migrant selectivity, distinguishing between in-migrants and non-migrant Hispanics at both the origin and destination. We use several recent datasets, including the 1990 and 2000 Public Use Microdata Samples (which include new regional geocodes), and the 2005 and 2006 files of the American Community Survey. Our results document the widespread dispersion of the Hispanic population over the 1990,2006 period from established Hispanic gateways into new Hispanic areas and other parts of the country. Nearly one-half of Hispanic net migration in new destinations comes from domestic gains. In contrast, both established and other Hispanic areas depend entirely on immigration, with each losing domestic migrants to high growth areas. Migrant flows also are highly differentiated by education, citizenship, and nativity. To fully understand the spatial diffusion of Hispanics requires a new appreciation of the complex interplay among immigration, internal domestic migration, and fertility. [source] Interstate migration, spatial assimilation, and the incorporation of US immigrantsPOPULATION, SPACE AND PLACE (PREVIOUSLY:-INT JOURNAL OF POPULATION GEOGRAPHY), Issue 1 2009Matthew Hall Abstract The recent trend of immigrant geographical diffusion in the United States has increased the relevance of a detailed understanding of the consequences of secondary migration for immigrant families, and a consideration of what is to be learned about immigrant incorporation from their patterns of domestic migration. In this paper, a regional variant of the spatial assimilation model is tested using longitudinal data on immigrant economic well-being. The results of this research indicate that, like their native counterparts, immigrants benefit, both in terms of employment and earnings, from making interstate moves. Consistent with the spatial assimilation model, immigrants migrating to states with smaller relative foreign-born populations see additional gains, with higher-skilled and better-acculturated immigrants enjoying the greatest returns.
