The Analysis of Migration

  • Chapter
Introduction to Demographic Analysis

  • 109 Accesses

Abstract

In all the demographic processes covered up to now, space has never been considered per se. Population change through natural increase has been viewed independently from the area in which the population lives.1 In the study of migration, this approach is obviously no longer valid, since migration implies moving from one area to another. Migration analysis is therefore fundamentally different from that of natality or mortality, as one takes both time and space into account.
