Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews patterns in migration within the U.S. over the past thirty years. Internal migration has fallen noticeably since the 1980s, reversing increases from earlier in the century. The decline in migration has been widespread across demographic and socioeconomic groups, as well as for moves of all distances. Although a convincing explanation for the secular decline in migration remains elusive and requires further research, the authors find only limited roles for the housing market contraction and the economic recession in reducing migration recently. Despite its downward trend, migration within the U.S. remains higher than that within most other developed countries. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even as the 2013-2017 “migration crisis” is increasingly in the past, EU countries still struggle to come up with alternative solutions to foster safe, orderly, and regular migration pathways, Europeans continue to look in the rear-view mirror.This Report is an attempt to reverse the perspective, by taking a glimpse into the future of migration to Europe. What are the structural trends underlying migration flows to Europe, and how are they going to change over the next two decades? How does migration interact with specific policy fields, such as development, border management, and integration? And what are the policies and best practicies to manage migration in a more coherent and evidence-based way?

Book excerpt: Environmental change and its impacts on population migration have become a growing concern in the era of global climate change. Previous environmental migration literature focused primarily on how rapid-onset environmental disasters influence migration in the developing world. The impacts of slow-onset environmental change and variability, such as changes in precipitation and temperature in developed settings, have not been fully documented. In this dissertation, I linked migration data with environmental factors from 1970 to 2020 in the contiguous United States and employed multivariate, spatial, and multilevel methods to explore the environmental dimensions of migration and their heterogeneous effects in affecting migration patterns across rural-urban areas and by different age groups. This dissertation consists of three empirical studies. In the first empirical study, using data from migration estimates (including net migration, in-migration, and out-migration), climate datasets, and decennial censuses, I explored how environmental change and variability affects county-level migration in the U.S. from 1970 to 2010, using county and decade fixed-effects models. I also conducted analyses to investigate the heterogeneous environmental impacts on migration across the rural-urban dichotomy and by age groups. I found that environmental factors, particularly climatic anomalies and their interactions with long-term climatic conditions, affected migration while controlling for other conventional sociodemographic factors known to affect migration. Also, I found that slow-onset environmental change and variability had a greater impact on rural areas, resulting in more rapid out-migration compared to urban areas. In addition, age matters in the environmental migration processes, with the older generation (65+ years old) being more responsive to environmental change and variability than the younger generation (15-64 years old) whose migrations were primarily fueled by work opportunities and economic well-being. In the second empirical study, I explored the spatial dimensions of environmental migration in the U.S. Previous studies on environmental impacts on migration in the U.S. have either focused on natural amenities attracting in-migrants or analyzed data at regional or crude geographic levels. Moreover, previous studies lacked analyses of how environmental factors affect the migratory responses of different age groups. Through geo-referencing county-level net migration data from 1970 to 2010 and linking them to sociodemographic characteristics at the county level, I conducted exploratory spatial data analysis to demonstrate the spatial dimensions of migration. The results showed that migrations were spatially clustered in eastern and western coastal regions and counties in the south-eastern areas of the U.S. Migration measures, along with county-level environmental and sociodemographic characteristics, are all spatially autocorrelated, making it necessary to account for such spatial effects when modeling the environment-migration relationship. Accordingly, I applied spatial lag and spatial error models to re-evaluate environmental impacts on migration. The results from the spatial models resonated with the results that used aspatial models, providing sound evidence of environmental impacts on internal migration in the U.S. As mentioned previously, many environmental migration studies, especially those in the U.S., have focused on rapid-onset environmental disasters while paying less attention to the impacts of slow-onset environmental change and variability. In the meantime, from a methodological perspective, there existed limited empirical studies using multilevel methods in the environmental migration literature. Arguably, migration is a social process that occurs in multiple contexts including micro-, meso-, and macro-level social structures--therefore requiring a multilevel approach to account for the hierarchy in the data and to explore level-specific effects in migration decision-making. To fill this knowledge gap, I combined microdata with aggregated data to explore individuals' migratory responses to environmental change and variability while controlling for geographic level-specific effects. Specifically, I linked individuals' migration status to their environmental exposure (i.e., precipitation, temperature, natural amenities, and air quality) and county-level sociodemographic characteristics in the previous year and employed two-level logistic regressions to investigate migratory responses of those individuals to environmental change and variability while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics known to affect migration. I found that socially advantaged populations, such as younger, wealthier, non-Hispanic white, and highly educated individuals, were more likely to migrate under environmental pressures, while disadvantaged groups, such as minorities, were less mobile when facing environmental change and variability. Environmental effects also occurred through interacting with county-level sociodemographic factors; in particular, people (especially the younger generation) tended to move to places with environmental amenities and affordable living costs. The multilevel analyses, again, confirmed the overall environmental effects on migration processes and their heterogeneous impacts across the younger and older generations. The findings and discussion presented in this dissertation attest to the environmental effects of migration in the United States and explore the heterogeneity of environmental impacts across places and age groups. The findings could provide insights into planning for environment-induced migration in the near future. Addressing environmental migration issues and mediating their adverse impacts on affected populations require a multifaceted approach that encompasses several factors, including the provision of basic infrastructure such as irrigation systems to maintain sustainable livelihoods, economic development to increase financial capabilities and offset environmental impacts, and effective disaster management to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. Likewise, environmental factors impose varying impacts on migration across places and by demographic groups; policies aiming to tackle environmental migration or relocation should be place- and demographic-specific to address these varying challenges from environmental change.

Book excerpt: This paper examines if internal migrants at the turn of the 20th century have influenced the long-term economic development of the counties where they settled over 100 years ago. Using Census microdata from 1880 and 1910, the distance travelled by American-born migrants between birthplace and county of residence is examined to assess its relevance for the economic development of US counties today. The settlement patterns of domestic migrants across the 48 continental states are then linked to current county-level development. Factors influencing both migration at the time and the level of development of the county today are controlled for. The results of the analysis underline the economic importance of internal migration. Counties that attracted American-born migrants more than 100 years ago are significantly richer today. Moreover, distance is crucial for the impact of internal migration on long-term economic development; the larger the distance travelled by domestic migrants, the greater the long-term economic impact on the receiving territories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The migration of labor from rural to urban areas is an important part of the urbanization process in developing countries. Even though it has been the focus of abundant research over the past five decades, some key policy questions have not found clear answers yet. To what extent is internal migration a desirable phenomenon and under what circumstances? Should governments intervene and, if so, with what types of interventions? What should be their policy objectives? To shed light on these important issues, the authors survey the existing theoretical models and their conflicting policy implications and discuss the policies that may be justified based on recent relevant empirical studies. A key limitation is that much of the empirical literature does not provide structural tests of the theoretical models, but only provides partial findings that can support or invalidate intuitions and in that sense, support or invalidate the policy implications of the models. The authors' broad assessment of the literature is that migration can be beneficial or at least be turned into a beneficial phenomenon so that in general migration restrictions are not desirable. They also identify some data issues and research topics which merit further investigation. "--World Bank web site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frequency with which people move home has important implications for national economic performance and the well-being of individuals and families. Much contemporary social and migration theory posits that the world is becoming more mobile, leading to the recent ‘mobilities turn’ within the social sciences. Yet, there is mounting evidence to suggest that this may not be true of all types of mobility, nor apply equally to all geographical contexts. For example, it is now clear that internal migration rates have been falling in the USA since at least the 1980s. To what extent might this trend be true of other developed countries? Drawing on detailed empirical literature, Internal Migration in the Developed World examines the long-term trends in internal migration in a variety of more advanced countries to explore the factors that underpin these changes. Using case studies of the USA, UK, Australia, Japan, Sweden, Germany and Italy, this pioneering book presents a critical assessment of the extent to which global structural forces, as opposed to national context, influence internal migration in the Global North. Internal Migration in the Developed World fills the void in this neglected aspect of migration studies and will appeal to a wide disciplinary audience of researchers and students working in Geography, Migration Studies, Population Studies and Development Studies.
