虽然有强有力的证据表明，在过去几十年中，许多国家的社会经济隔离现象有所增加，但人们对这种情况发生的过程知之甚少。虽然人们常常假定有选择的移徙是主要过程，但这一点很少得到证明。本文提出了一个更全面的框架，以分析驱动隔离的变化过程-一个“邻里帐户”的框架。使用1991 - 2001年苏格兰纵向研究的数据对该框架进行了测试，重点是工作年龄人口。与许多人的假设相反，选择性移民对空间隔离的变化只有非常微弱的影响，而且肯定不是主导因素至少在这个特定的背景下。老龄化或同龄人更替以及地位变化或社会流动率不均衡的影响似乎更为重要。这就为解决隔离问题的政策提出了重要问题。
Although there is strong evidence that segregation on socioeconomic lines has risen in many countries over the last few decades, comparatively little is known about the processes by which this happens. While it is often assumed that selective migration is the dominant process, this has rarely been demonstrated. This paper proposes a more comprehensive framework to analyse processes driving changes in segregation-a 'neighbourhood accounts' framework. The framework is tested using data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study for 1991 - 2001, focusing on the working-age population. Contrary to what many have assumed, selective migration is shown to have only a very weak impact on changes in spatial segregation, and is certainly not the dominant factor-at least in this particular context. The effects of ageing or cohort replacement and of uneven rates of status change or social mobility appear much more important. This raises important issues for policies to tackle segregation.
