Internal migration in Austria along the rural-urban continuum and across the life course, 1996–2013

Nikola Sander and Ramon Bauer
ICPG, Brisbane, July 2015

Trends in internal migration

Overall decline in the volume of movement (IMAGE)

Re-urbanisation tendencies in Western Europe (e.g. Germany)

Impediments to the study of re-urbanisation

Definition of "urban"

Functional areas

Size and complexity of origin-destination flow matrices

Internal migration in Austria

Earlier work mostly limited to mapping net-migration.

Little analysis of flows beyond political districts (N 99)

Higher net gains among 18-24 year olds in urban cores

Our aim

To develop a more comprehensive picture of the patterns and trends in internal migration in Austria by applying different definitions of "urban".

OECD definition (based on NUTS3 typology)

predominantly urban - intermediate - predominantly rural

Statistik Austria definition of city regions

urban cores - outer zones - non-urban/rural

OECD / EU typology

Statistik Austria typology

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

Net-migration for all ages suggesting re-urbanisation

Growing attractiveness of urban cores for 18-24 year olds

Reducing complexity through custom geographies

Exploring the impact of geography on the patterns of internal migration along the urban-rural gradient

Flows between NUTS3 regions, 2002.

Flows between NUTS3 regions, 2013.

Conclusions

Overall increase in volume of movements

Growing attractiveness of core cities for 18-24 age group

Intra-city movements, esp to largest cities (Vienna and Graz)

Families continue to prefer the outer urban zones

Next steps

  • Alternative geographies (eg. other national classifications)
  • Cross-national comparisons (e.g. to Germany)
  • Interactive visualisations for public & policy
