移民动机如何随着移民距离的变化而变化：社会经济和人口群体差异的证据，区域研究。移民研究人员早就知道，迁徙距离不同，改变居住地的动机也不同。通常，短途搬家被认为是出于住房方面的考虑，而长途搬家主要是出于就业方面的考虑。本文通过大规模的迁移动机调查，探讨了迁移动机是如何随迁移距离的变化而变化的。特别注意不同社会经济和人口群体的差异。结果表明，住房和就业驱动的移民二分法，分别在短距离和长距离上，仍然在一定程度上是有效的，尽管目前的发现给出了更微妙的解释。这份文件揭示了移民动机的相当大的差异，不仅在移民距离上，而且特别是在移民的社会经济和人口特征方面。
NIEDOMYSL T. How migration motives change over migration distance: evidence on variation across socio-economic and demographic groups, Regional Studies. Migration researchers have long known that the motives for changing place of residence vary over migration distance. Typically, short-distance moves are regarded as motivated by housing considerations and longer-distance moves primarily by employment considerations. Using a large-scale survey on migration motives, this paper explores how migration motives change over migration distance. Particular attention is paid to variations across socio-economic and demographic groups. The results show that the housing-versus employment-driven migration dichotomy, over short and long distances, respectively, is still somewhat valid, though the present findings give a much more nuanced interpretation. The paper reveals considerable variation in migration motives, not only over migration distance, but also particularly in relation to migrant socio-economic and demographic characteristics.
