1 The IMAGE Project - Comparing Internal Migration Around the GlobE: Data, Methods, Variations and Explanations Martin Bell and Elin Charles-Edwards Presentation to Vienna Institute of Demography September 2015
2 Context Compared with other demographic processes, such as fertility and mortality, little attention has been given to the way in which internal migration varies between countries around the world. Comparative indicators conspicuous by their absence from international statistical tables.
3 Significance of Internal Migration Estimated 865 million people outside region of birth Aggregate Level: Major force shaping patterns of human settlement Underpins functioning of the economy Integral to human development Individual Level Essential link to life course transitions Mechanism to meet individual aspirations Means of escape from risk & danger
4 Why Make Comparisons? Aids understanding Promotes analytical rigor Enhances migration theory Assists policy development Rising recognition of significance
5 Impediments Multifaceted nature of migration Lack of ready access to data Disparities in the way internal migration is captured Differences in spatial and temporal frameworks The absence of commonly agreed statistical indicators
6 The IMAGE Project An international collaborative research program which aims to provide a robust basis for comparing internal migration between countries around the world Focus on 193 UN Member States Funded by Australian Research Council Discovery Project The IMAGE Inventory of Migration data The IMAGE Repository of Migration data The IMAGE Studio: computes metrics Focus: Migration intensity Migration distance Migration impacts Migration connectivity Outputs: Thematic Methodological Regional
7 Outline 1. Summarise the global inventory and data repository 2. Describe league table of migration intensities 3. Introduce the IMAGE Studio 4. Summarise the extent of global variation 5. Explore why mobility varies between countries
8 Who collects what?
9 Towards harmonisation Censuses, Registers, and Surveys collect different types of data (e.g. moves/movers, duration of residence) Migration is measured over different intervals No analytic solution for temporal harmonisation Spatial frameworks differ widely from one country to another No simple method of spatial harmonisation
10 Comparing migration intensities Strict comparability requires: Estimates of all changes of address (combining residential mobility and migration) Crude Migration Intensity ACMI = (100*M) / P All moves (M) only available for 30 countries Our solution: Estimate overall intensities based on Courgeau et al (2012) Make separate comparisons for one and five year intervals
11 Courgeau s k (1973) Defines an index, k, to standardise for the number of zones in a country: if the propensity to move is a function of distance, then the crude migration intensity (CMI) must be related to the number of zones into which a territory is divided. The finer the spatial mesh, the larger the number of migrations that will be captured and hence the greater the recorded intensity k represents the slope of a line derived by plotting the CMI from two or more sets of geographies against the log of the number of zones in each geography Algebraically, CMI=k log (n)
12 Crude Migration Intensity (%) Courgeau et al. (2012) Plots CMI against average households (H) per zone (j) CMI j = w + k ln (H/j) When H/j = 1 (i.e. average of 1 household per zone) then ACMI = w (representing aggregate mobility) Implementation constrained by available geographies (e.g. states, provinces, counties) Create additional geographies using the IMAGE Studio Germany Administrative levels ln (number of households/number of spatial units)
13 The IMAGE Studio Data Preparation (Flow matrix, PARs, Shapefiles of Basic Spatial Units (BSUs)) Spatial Aggregation (Randomly aggregates BSUs into Aggregate Spatial Regions (ASRs)) Computation of Indicators (Intensity, Impact, Connectivity) Spatial Interaction Model
14 IMAGE Studio Subsystem Interfaces Data Preparation Spatial Aggregation Internal Migration Indicators Spatial Interaction Modelling
15 How and why of spatial aggregation? Creates a range of additional geographies by random aggregation of Basic Spatial Units (BSUs) into progressively larger regions Multiple configurations at each spatial scale Generates additional geographies for estimation of ACMI using Courgeau Enables us to explore the impact of the MAUP on migration indices Scale component: How does the indicator vary according to the number of Aggregated Spatial Regions (ASRs)? Pattern component: How does the indicator vary according to the configuration of ASRs at any spatial scale?
16 Example of aggregation: Germany 412 BSUs 200 ASRs 150 ASRs 100 ASRs 50 ASRs 10 ASRs

21 Standardised Migration Intensities
22 Modes of explanation Culture of mobility (e.g. Long 1991) High mobility in new world countries reflects the peripatetic tradition of immigrant forbears A mobility transition (e.g. Zelinsky 1971, Skeldon 1997) definite patterned regularities in the growth of personal mobility through space-time associated with modernisation Life course transitions (e.g. Rogers and Castro 1981, Bernard et al 2014b) focus on the role of life course transitions and housing adjustment in triggering migration Measures of development: Geographic, Social, Economic, Demographic Variables Undertaken separately for 1 and 5 year data
