| This collaborative project will compare interregional migration in Australia and Britain between 1976 and 1996. The levels of mobility, patterns and causes of movement differ markedly between the two countries. This study will develop internationally comparable measures of migration, use new visualization techniques to examine the effect of three key variables - age, time period and year of birth - on migration behaviour, and explore links between migration and regional labour and housing markets. The results will aid understanding of the causes and consequences of internal migration in Australia and internationally, and improve the basis for sub-national population forecasting. | |
