移徙是形成人类住区模式的主要人口进程，在人类发展中发挥着至关重要的作用。虽然在计量国际移徙方面取得了进展，但许多国家的国内移徙统计数据仍然很不完善。本文利用IMAGE（Internal Migration Around the地球仪）项目下建立的数据库，通过构建世界各国国内移民强度的第一个全面排行榜来解决这一问题。我们回顾以前的工作，概述了进行可靠的比较的主要障碍，并提出了一种方法，结合了一种新的估计程序与灵活的空间聚合设施。我们以总的粗移民强度的排行榜的形式呈现结果，这些强度捕获了96个国家（占全球人口的五分之四）在一年或五年内的所有地址变化。对观察到的差异的解释，阿利亚其他外，在历史，结构，文化和经济力量。我们使用一系列人口、经济和社会变量，通过简单的相关性来研究发展和移民强度之间的联系。结果显示，国内移徙强度与国家发展的某些指标之间存在明显的关联。
Migration is the principal demographic process shaping patterns of human settlement, and it serves an essential role in human development. While progress has been made in measuring international migration, internal migration statistics are as yet poorly developed in many countries. This article draws on a repository of data established under the IMAGE (Internal Migration Around the GlobE) project to address this deficit by constructing the first comprehensive league table of internal migration intensities for countries around the world. We review previous work, outline the major impediments to making reliable comparisons, and set out a methodology that combines a novel estimation procedure with a flexible spatial aggregation facility. We present the results in the form of league tables of aggregate crude migration intensities that capture all changes of address over one-year or five-year intervals for 96 countries, representing four-fifths of the global population. Explanation for the observed differences has been sought, inter alia, in historical, structural, cultural, and economic forces. We examine the links between development and migration intensity through simple correlations using a range of demographic, economic, and social variables. Results reveal clear associations between internal migration intensities and selected indicators of national development.
