Migration Process and Patterns: Population Redistribution in the United Kingdom

by John C.H. Stillwell (Editor), Phil Rees (Editor), Peter Boden (Editor)

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 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. Volume 1 outlines the latest methodology for analyzing the extent and impact of population movement, while this volume provides a detailed survey of population movement in the UK during the 1980s.
