Understanding the Long-Term Decline in Internal Migration

该项目力求深入了解国内移徙不断变化的性质。自1970年代以来，大多数发达经济体的国内移徙率持续下降。人口流动性的下降可能会影响经济的运作和个人的愿望，但人们对这一点的认识和理解仍然不足。该项目旨在确定一些抽样国家移民下降的开始和速度。它还旨在通过确定澳大利亚、加拿大和联合王国过去30年移民率下降与更广泛的社会人口转型之间的联系，查明这一变化的原因。了解这一问题有助于制定适当的经济和社会政策。

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.
