Abstract

MILLINGTON J. (2000) Migration and age: the effect of age on sensitivity to migration stimuli, Reg. Studies 34 , 521-533. A review of the migration literature reveals a lack of studies that explicitly examine the relationship between age and sensitivity to migration stimuli. Poisson modelling techniques are employed on British inter-county gross migration ows to produce results which emphasize the importance of age disaggregation in empirical migration studies. Allowing for a variety of migration stimuli, responsiveness to spatial labour market disparities declines through the lifecycle whilst the converse is true of housing and amenity effects. MILLINGTON J. (2000) La migration et l'âge: l'impact de l'âge sur la sensibilité aux incitations à la migration, Reg. Studies 34 , 521-533. Une critique de la documentation sur la migration laisse voir un manque d'études qui examinent de façon explicite le rapport entre l'âge et la sensibilité aux incitations à la migration. Les techniques de modélisation du type Poisson se voient employer pour les ux bruts de migration entre les comtés de la Grande-Bretagne a n de produire des résultats qui soulignent l'importance de la décomposition par âge pour les études empiriques de la migration. Compte tenu d'un nombre d'incitations à la migration, la sensibilité aux écarts géographiques du marché du travail a tendance à diminuer avec la vie, tandis que l'inverse est vrai pour ce qui concerne les effets logement et agrément. MILLINGTON J. (2000) Wanderung und Alter: Auswirkung des Alters auf Empfänglichkeit für Wanderungsanreize, Reg. Studies 34 , 521–533. Eine Durchsicht der Literatur über Einund Auswanderung zeigt, daß es an Studien mangelt, die ausdrücklich die Beziehung zwischen Alter und der Empfänglichkeit für Anreize, zu wandern, untersucht Die Technik des Poisson Modells wird auf britische Bruttowanderungsströme von einer Grafschaft zur anderen angewandt, um Ergebnisse zu erzielen, welche die Bedeutung der Unterscheidung von Altersgruppen bei empirischen Wanderungsuntersuchungen betont. Obschon eine Vielzahl von Anregungen, aus-, bz.w. einzuwandern, auftretcn können, nimmt die Reaktion auf räumliche Stellenmarktunterschiede im Laufe der Jahre ab, während in Hinsicht auf die Auswirkung von Wohn- und Annehmlichkeitsverhältnissen das Gegenteil zutrifft.
