Abstract

PLANE D. A. (1993) Demographic influences on migration, Reg. Studies 27, 375--383. This paper explores the effects of demographic change on migration through an examination of migration rates of different age groups and cohorts over time, and the effect on total migration flows of the ageing of regional populations. Research focused on the interrelationship between age composition change and migration is reviewed. Studies are classified into works that focus on the changing demographic potential of a region's population to generate migrants, those that assess how age-specific mobility rates change over time and those that examine the destination choices made by persons in different age groups. The human investment framework provides a powerful analytical device for analysing migration decision-making at different stages of the life course. Labour supply pressure is advanced as a significant demographic influence on labour mobility. Suggestions are made about future directions for migration research to take in order to gain a better understanding of the linkages between changing age composition and population redistribution. The need for a cohort perspective on migration analysis is stressed. PLANE D. A. (1993) Les influences démographiques sur la migration, Reg. Studies 27, 375--383. Cet article examine les effets de l'évolution démographique sur la migration à partir d'une analyse des taux de migration des différentes classes d'&acaron;ge sur le temps, et l'impact du vieillissement des populations régionales sur les flux migratoires globaux. La recherche a porté sur le rapport qui existe entre l'évolution de la structure par &acaron;ge et la migration. Les études sont classées de la façon suivante: celles qui portent sur l'évolution du potentiel démographique de la population d'une région à attirer les migrants, celles qui évaluent dans quelle mesure les taux de mobilité rapportés à l'&acaron;ge varient sur le temps, et celles qui examinent les choix de destination faits par les individus suivant leur classe d'&acaron;ge. Le cadre de l'investissement dans le capital humain s'avère un outil analytique puissant, permettant une analyse de la prise de décision relative à la migration aux étapes différentes de la vie. La pression de l'offre de la main-d'œuvre est considérée comme une influence démographique sensible sur la mobilité de la main-d'œuvre. On fait des propositions concernant les directions futures de la recherche sur la migration afin de mieux cerner les rapports entre la structure par &acaron;ge et la redistribution de la population. On souligne qu'il faut considérer la nécessité d'analyser la migration du point de vue des classes d'&acaron;ge. PLANE D. A. (1993) Demographische Einflüsse auf Wanderung, Reg. Studies 27, 375--383. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht die Auswirkung demographischen Wandels auf Wanderung mit Hilfe einer Prüfung der Wanderungsraten verschiedener Altersgruppen und -kohorten über bestimmte Zeiträume sowie die Auswirkung der Gesamtwander-bewegungen auf die Altersstruktur der Bevölkerung bestimmter Gebiete. Untersuchungen, die sich auf die Wechselbeziehung zwischen Wandel im Altersaufbau konzentrieren, werden besprochen. Die Studien werden in solche eingeteilt, bei denen das sich wandelnde demographische Potential der Bevölkerung eines Gebietes, Wanderer hervorzubringen, im Mittelpunkt steht, solche, die schätzen, wie Beweglichkeitsraten spezifischer Altersgruppen sich im Laufe der Zeit wandeln, und solche, die die Wahl der Ziele untersuchen, die von Personen verschiedener Altersgruppen getroffen wird. Die Struktur der Investierung von Menschen stellt ein wesentliches analytisches Mittel für die Analyse des Entschluß- zur-Wanderung-fassens in verschiedenen Stadien des Lebens dar. Druck auf das Angebot an Arbeitskräften wird als bedeutsamer demographischer Einfluß auf die Mobilität von Arbeitskräften vorgebracht. Es werden Vorschläge über zukünftige Wege für Wanderforschung gemacht, um ein besseres Verständnis der Verknüpfungen zwischen sich wandelndem Altersaufbau und Bevölkerungsneuverteilung zu erlangen. Die Notwendigkeit einer Kohortenperspektive für Wanderungsanalyse wird betont.
