Description
Since 1980 there has been a massive surge of interest in migration throughout the developed world, not least in Britain. This is due to several factors: the reversal of migration flows to metropolitan areas and the revival of rural population growth (counter-urbanization); the lessening influence of traditional economic constraints on migration patterns; expected changes in the development of society regarding housing, employment and the nature of households; and finally an overall reduction in the rate of natural population increase. This major two-volume research publication explores all of these issues. This first volume outlines the latest methodology for analyzing the extent and impact of population movement, while Volume 2 provides a detailed survey of population movement in the UK during the 1980s.
