Understanding the Long-Term Decline in Internal Migration

该项目旨在深入了解国内移民不断变化的性质。自20世纪70年代以来，大多数发达经济体的国内移民率一直在持续下降。人类流动性的下降可能会影响经济的运转和个人的抱负，但人们对这一点的认识和理解仍然很差。本项目旨在确定一些抽样国家移徙下降的开始和速度。它还旨在通过确定过去30年澳大利亚、加拿大和联合王国移徙率下降与更广泛的社会人口转变之间的联系来确定这种变化的原因。了解这一问题可能有助于制定适当的经济和社会政策对策。

The project seeks to provide insights into the changing nature of internal migration. Internal migration rates have declined continuously since the 1970s in most advanced economies. This decline in human mobility may affect the functioning of the economy and individuals’ aspirations, but remains poorly recognised and understood. This project aims to establish the onset and pace of the migration decline for a sample of countries. It also aims to identify the causes of this change by identifying linkages between the drop in migration rates and the broader socio-demographic transitions of the past 30 years in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Understanding this issue may support the development of appropriate economic and social policy responses.
