The Importance of Place of Birth in Migration and Population Redistribution Analysis

Abstract

Researchers on migration during the past two decades have increasingly interpreted geographical mobility as more than a one-time event in the lives of most people. This perspective has elevated the relative importance of the previous migration ‘event histories’ of individuals as variables in explanations of observed migration patterns. The role of migration away from and toward the place of birth has in particular received considerable attention. In this paper, US Census data is used to examine further the importance of place of birth on migration streams and to trace the impacts of such ‘native dependence’ on age patterns of migration, multiregional life expectancies, and spatial population projections.
