对于不同民族的内部迁徙行为知之甚少。本文回顾了现有证据，并分析了英国 2001 年人口普查数据，根据移民和不同种族群体的特征，概述了移民水平和移民距离的模式。各民族的流动人口具有相似的特征，因此有人认为流动水平的差异主要是由于各民族的社会经济和年龄构成不同造成的。这通过回归分析得到证实。然而，迁移距离的差异不能用族群的构成来解释，而可以用他们目前主要居住在城市的地区来解释。一般模式的例外情况被强调作为进一步调查的途径。版权所有 © 2008 约翰·威利父子有限公司
Relatively little is known about the internal migration behaviour of different ethnic groups. This paper reviews existing evidence, and analyses 2001 Census data for Britain to provide an overview of patterns in the level of migration and the distance migrated, according to the characteristics of migrants and for diverse ethnic groups. Those who migrate in each ethnic group have similar characteristics, leading to the assertion that differences in levels of migration result mainly from differing socio-economic and age compositions of ethnic groups. This is confirmed through regression analysis. Differences in distance migrated, however, are not explained by the composition of ethnic groups, but may be explained by their primarily urban current areas of residence. Exceptions to the general patterns are highlighted as avenues for further investigation. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
