Ramon Bauer and Nikola Sander
BSPS, Leeds, UK, September 2015
Rural and urban populations in Austria, 2013
Ravenstein's concept of migration up the urban hierarchy
Internal migration in Austria
Earlier work mostly limited to mapping net-migration.
Little analysis of flows beyond political districts (N 99)
Our aim
To develop a more comprehensive picture of the patterns and trends in internal migration in Austria by applying different definitions of "urban".
Data
Spatial resolution: municipalities (N 2,353)
Temporal resolution: annual migration events 1996-2013
Population at risk by age & 7 age groups (>18, 18-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-49, 50-64, 65+)
Austria changed to a register-based system in 2002
Higher net gains among 18-24 year olds in urban cores
Shift towards stronger gains and losses among 18-24 year olds between 2002 and 2013
18-24 year olds increasingly moving up the urban hierarchy
OECD definition (based on NUTS3 typology)
predominantly urban - intermediate - predominantly rural
Statistik Austria definition of city regions
urban cores - outer zones - non-urban/rural

Growing attractiveness of urban cores for 18-24 year olds
Next steps
- All age groups
- Alternative geographies (eg. other national classifications)
- Cross-national comparisons (e.g. to Germany)
- Interactive visualisations for public & policy
