移徙与年龄之间的关系早已确立，最近有人呼吁将生命历程观点纳入移徙研究。在这篇文章中，我们探索了北爱尔兰的内部移民模式，特别是我们测试了城市到农村移民在生命过程的不同阶段的重要性。北爱尔兰纵向研究的数据首次被用来分析城乡移徙模式。由此得到的模型显示了北爱尔兰城市到农村迁移的独特方面，到目前为止，这一方面基本上没有报道。Logistic回归模型的结果表明，城市-农村迁移存在年龄选择性，但不一定是在生命过程迁移文献回顾所预测的生命过程阶段。在北爱尔兰，年轻年龄段的人(在家庭和家庭形成阶段)最有可能从城市搬到农村，这种搬家类型的可能性随着年龄的增长而下降。可能的解释与北爱尔兰的定居点等级、农村规划政策和家庭农业传统有关。这些发现要求研究人员适当关注移民过程在不同的地理、社会和规划背景下如何以不同的方式发挥作用，并强调结构性因素对解释移民模式的重要性。版权所有©2012 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
The relationship between migration and age has long been established, and most recently, there have been calls for the inclusion of a life course perspective to migration research. In this paper, we explore Northern Ireland's internal migration patterns, and in particular, we test for the importance of urban to rural migration at different stages of the life course. Data from the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study are used for the first time to analyse urban–rural migration patterns. The resulting modelling demonstrates unique aspects of urban to rural migration within Northern Ireland, which up until now have gone largely unreported.Results from logistic regression modelling suggest that there is an age selectivity to urban–rural mobility but not necessarily at the life course stages predicted from a review of the life course migration literature. Individuals in younger age groups (at the household and family formation stages of the life course) are most likely to make an urban to rural move in Northern Ireland, with a decline in the likelihood of this move type with age. Possible explanations are offered linked to Northern Ireland's settlement hierarchy, rural planning policy, and family farming traditions. The findings challenge researchers to pay due attention to how migration processes may play out differently in varying geographical, social, and planning contexts and emphasise the importance of structural factors to explain migration patterns.
