The frequency with which people move home has important implications for national
economic performance and the well-being of individuals and families. Much contemporary
social and migration theory posits that the world is becoming more mobile, leading
to the recent 'mobilities turn' within the social sciences. Yet, there is mounting
evidence to suggest that this may not be true of all types of mobility, nor apply
equally to all geographical contexts. For example, it is now clear that internal migration
rates have been falling in the USA since at least the 1980s. To what extent might
this trend be true of other developed countries? Drawing on detailed empirical literature,
Internal Migration in the Developed World examines the long-term trends in internal
migration in a variety of more advanced countries to explore the factors that underpin
these changes. Using case studies of the USA, UK, Australia, Japan, Sweden, Germany
and Italy, this pioneering book presents a critical assessment of the extent to which
global structural forces, as opposed to national context, influence internal migration
in the Global North. Internal Migration in the Developed World fills the void in this
neglected aspect of migration studies and will appeal to a wide disciplinary audience
of researchers and students working in Geography, Migration Studies, Population Studies
and Development Studies
