Abstract

Les diplômés universitaires sont plus nombreux et leur nombre croît plus rapidement dans les grandes villes que dans les petites villes et les régions rurales. Ce taux de croissance relativement élevé tient aux flux migratoires nets et(ou) aux taux plus élevés d'obtention d'un diplôme. En s'appuyant sur les données tirées des Recensements de 1996 et de 2001, les auteurs du présent document testent l'importance relative de ces deux sources de croissance du capital humain en décomposant la croissance du nombre de titulaires de diplômes dans les diverses villes en flux migratoires nets (intérieurs et étrangers) et en croissance in situ, autrement dit, croissance attribuable aux taux plus élevés d'obtention d'un diplôme dans les populations des résidents des villes. Nous constatons que les deux sources sont importantes, la croissance in situ étant toutefois le facteur dominant. Ainsi, les taux élevés d'obtention d'un diplôme dans les populations des villes s'expliquent moins par la capacité des villes d'attirer du capital humain que par leur capacité de le générer.
