Abstract:

This chapter compares the interregional migration processes within the 6 countries (Federal Republic of Germany, Canada, France, Israel, Italy, Sweden) described earlier in this book. The comparison explores analogies and/or differences in the migratory process between these countries and correspondence or disagreement between the interpretations of the migratory process. This kind of investigation is facilitated by having used the same migratory model, and hence immediately comparable methods of evaluation, in all 6 cases. Some general problems arising in a comparative study of interregional migration are discussed in a qualitative manner. The authors also analyze and compare earlier chapters' quantitative results obtained with the model used in this book.
