Abstract

STILLWELL J. and GARC�A COLL A. (2000) Inter-provincial migration of the Spanish workforce in 1988 and 1994, Reg. Studies 34, 693-711. Historically, labour migration has been an important component of aggregate longer distance population movements in Spain. This paper provides some new insights into the volume, age composition and geographical pattern of migration between provinces of those of working age in 1988 and 1994 based on annual registration data. Migration efficiencies are used to indicate that net migration is becoming less important as a mechanism for redistributing the population overall, although age-specific efficiencies vary geographically. Age selectivity is examined using five-year age groups to exemplify migration trends in particular provinces, and three broad age groups to contrast the different geographical dynamics of interprovincial migration for young, mid and older working age migrants. The paper quantifies the importance of return migration in Spain in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The research is part of an ESRC-funded project on Internal Migration and Regional Population Dynamics. STILLWELL J. et GARC�A COLL A. (2000) La migration inerr�gionale de la main-d'oeuvre espagnole en 1988 et en 1994, Reg. Studies 34, 693-711. D'un point de vue historique, la migration de la main-d'oeuvre s'av�re un �l�ment cl�du d�placement global �plus grande distance de la population espagnole. A partir des donn�es sur les d�clarations annuelles, cet article cherche � fournir de nouveaux aper�us sur les flux, la ventilation par âge et la distribution g�ographique de la migration interr�gionale des gens en âge de travailler en 1988 et en 1994. On se sert des efficacit�s dues �la migration afin de d�montrer que le solde migratoire positif s'av�re moins important en tant que m�canisme de la redistribution globale de la population, alors que des efficacit�s dues explicitement � l'âge varie dans l'espace. On examine la s�lection par âg� a partir des tranches d'âge de cinq ann�es afin de d�montrer les tendances � la migration dans des r�gions particuli�res, et employant trois grandes classes d'âge pour contraster la diverse dynamique g�ographique de la migration interr�gionale des actifs jeunes, d'âge mûr et plus âg�s. L'article �value l'importance de la migration de retour en Espagn�ala fin des ann�es 80 et au d�but des ann�es 90. La recherche fait partie int�grante d'un projet financ�par le ESRC sur la Migration Interne et la Dynamique de la Population R�gionale. STILLWELL J. und GARC�A COLL A. (2000) Interprovinziale Wanderung der spanischen Arbeiterschaft in den Jahren 1988 und 1994, Reg. Studies 34, 693-711. Historisch betrachtet ist diese Ab-und Zuwanderung von Arbeitskr�ften in Spanien ein wichtiger Bestandteil der gesamten, �ber gr�ßere Entfernungen hinweg stattfindenden Bev�lkerungsverschiebungen gewesen. Gest�tzt auf j�hrlich zusammengestellte Registrierungsdaten vermittelt dieser Aufsatz neue Einblicke in Umfang, Alterszusammensetzung und geographische Wanderungsmuster von Personen im Arbeitsalter, die in den Jahren 1988 und 1994 von einer Provinz zur andern wechselten. Wanderleistungen wurden dazu benutzt, aufzuzeigen, daß Nettowanderung als Mechanismus zur Umverteilung der Gesamtbev�lkerung stark an Bedeutung verloren hat, obschon altersspezifische Leistungen geographisch große Unterschiede aufweisen. Altersselektivit�t wird auf der Grundlage von F�nfjahresalterskohorten untersucht, um Wanderungstendenzen in bestimmten Provinzen zu veranschaulichen, und von drei breiten Altersgruppen, um die unterschiedliche geographische Dynamik interprovinzialer Wanderung f�r j�ngere, mittlere und �ltere Wanderer im Arbeitsalter gegen�berzustel len. Der Aufsatz quantifiziert die Bedeutung der R�ckwanderung in Spanien gegen Ende der achtziger und anfangs der neunziger Jahre. Die Untersuchung stellt Teil eines vom ESRC finanzierten Projekts �ber Binnenwanderung und regionale Bev�lkerungsdynamik dar.
