Abstract

Lundholm E. Interregional migration propensity and labour market size in Sweden, 1970-2001, Regional Studies. The tendency in several European countries toward an increase in commuting has sometimes been presented as one possible explanation for why interregional migration propensity has decreased. This study is an attempt to investigate the impact of job availability on migration propensity over time. Other studies have shown that the size of the labour market has an effect on migration propensity. The same effect was found in this study. However, no evidence was found that job availability has become more influential on migration over time. The process of extended commuting has thus not made commuting opportunities more important as explanatory factor for interregional migration. [image omitted] Lundholm E. La propension a la migration inter-regionale et la taille du marche du travail: la Suede de 1970 a 2001, Regional Studies. Dans plusieurs pays europeens, la tendance a l'augmentation du nombre des migrations quotidiennes se presente souvent comme une explication potentielle du declin de la propension a la migration inter-regionale. Cette etude cherche a examiner l'impact des possibilites d'emploi sur la propension a la migration dans le temps. D'autres etudes montrent que la taille du marche du travail influe sur la propension a la migration; cette etude aboutit a la meme conclusion. Cependant, rien ne prouve que les offres d'emploi inflent plus sur la migration dans le temps. Ainsi, les migrations quotidiennes de plus longue distance n'ont pas rendu plus importantes les possibilites des migrations quotidiennes comme determinants de la migration inter-regionale. Migration inter-regionale Taille du marche du travail Migrations quotidiennes Suede Lundholm E. Neigung zur interregionalen Migration und Arbeitsmarktgrosse, Schweden 1970-2001, Regional Studies. Die Tendenz in mehreren europaischen Landern hin zu einem verstarkten Pendlerverkehr wird zuweilen als mogliche Erklarung fur die gesunkene Neigung zur interregionalen Migration prasentiert. In dieser Studie wird versucht, die Auswirkung der Verfugbarkeit von Arbeitsplatzen auf die Migrationsneigung uber langere Zeit hinweg zu analysieren. In anderen Studien zeigte sich, dass sich die Grosse des Arbeitsmarkts auf die Migrationsneigung auswirkt; derselbe Effekt wurde auch in dieser Studie beobachtet. Hingegen wurden keine Anzeichen dafur festgestellt, dass die Verfugbarkeit von Arbeitsplatzen im Laufe der Zeit einen starkeren Einfluss auf die Migration ausgeubt hat. Die Zunahme des Pendlerverkehrs hat also die Moglichkeiten zum Pendeln nicht zu einem wichtigeren Faktor zur Erklarung interregionaler Migration werden lassen. Interregionale Migration Arbeitsmarktgrosse Pendlerverkehr Schweden Lundholm E. Predisposicion a la migracion interregional y el tamano del mercado laboral, Suecia 1970-2001, Regional Studies. La tendencia en varios paises europeos hacia un aumento de los desplazamientos al trabajo se ha presentado a veces como una posible explicacion a la disminucion de una predisposicion a la migracion interregional. El objetivo de este estudio es investigar el impacto de la disponibilidad de puestos de trabajo en la predisposicion a la migracion a largo plazo. En otros estudios se ha mostrado que el tamano del mercado laboral tiene un efecto en la predisposicion a la migracion y el mismo efecto se ha observado en este estudio. Sin embargo, no se han hallado evidencias de que la disponibilidad de puestos de trabajo haya tenido con el tiempo mas influencia en la migracion. El creciente proceso de desplazamientos al trabajo no ha provocado por tanto que las oportunidades de estos desplazamientos sean un factor mas importante para explicar la migracion interregional.
