Abstract

This paper examines the impact that the decline in the Japanese population has had on its interprefectural migration flows over the last 15 years. The early 2000s saw the number of internal migrants consistently decrease, reaching all-time low records in both intra and inter-prefectural migration. Economic inequalities between cities and other regions began to shrink in the 1970s due to the indirect effects of the post Second World War's so-called "economic miracle". Also, after 2003, such disparities between metropolitan and rural areas further intensified due to an increase in the income gap, as Japan recorded the start of an aging society phenomenon. How the prefecture's socio-economical and healthcare characteristics are affecting the flow of migration will be examined through spatiotemporal autoregressive models.
