This paper examines both rural - urban youth migration and interprovincial youth migration from 1971 to 1996. It also determines the impact over time of migration on the population age structure in rural and small town areas.
Release date: 2001-02-12 - 335. Rural Youth Migration Between 1971 and 1996 [Rural and Small Town Canada Analysis Bulletin] ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2000003Geography: CanadaDescription:
Although youth migration has been a popular subject in recent years, little research has focussed on the migration between rural and urban areas. Most of the research has concerned inter-provincial migration. In this bulletin, we consider the magnitude of both rural-urban migration and inter-provincial migration between 1971 and 1996 using population pyramids.

Release date: 2001-01-16 - 337. Rural roots ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X20000035375Geography: CanadaDescription:
For some time, concerns have been raised about the movement of young people away from rural areas, mainly to find work. This article provides information on the extent to which youths stay, leave or return to rural communities. (Adapted from a recently published analytical report.)
Release date: 2000-09-06 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2000142Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper addresses the topic of inter-provincial migration in terms of the basic question: "who moves?" Panel logit models of the probability of moving from one year to the next are estimated using samples derived from the Longitudinal Administrative Database covering the period 1982-95. Explanatory variables include "environmental" factors, personal characteristics, labour market attributes, and a series of year variables. Separate models are estimated for eight age-sex groups.
The major findings include that: i) migration rates have been inversely related to the size of the province, presumably capturing economic conditions, labour market scale effects, and pure geographical distance, while language has also played an important role; ii) residents of smaller cities, towns, and especially rural areas have been less likely to move than individuals in larger cities; iii) age, marriage, and the presence of children have been negatively related to mobility, for both men and women; iv) migration has been positively related to the provincial unemployment rate, the individuals' receipt of unemployment insurance (except Entry Men), having no market income (except for Entry Men and Entry Women), and the receipt of social assistance (especially for men); v) beyond the zero earnings point, migration has been positively related to earnings levels for prime aged men, but not for others, and these effects are generally small (holding other factors constant); vi) there were no dramatic shifts in migration rates over time, but men's rates dropped off a bit in the 1990s while women's rates (except for the Entry group) generally held steadier or rose slightly, indicating a divergence in trends along gender lines.
Release date: 2000-09-05 - 339. Rural Youth: Stayers, Leavers and Return Migrants ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2000152Geography: CanadaDescription:
There has been for some time substantial concern regarding the loss of young people in rural communities. There is a sense that most rural communities offer few opportunities for their younger people, requiring them to leave for urban communities, most likely not to return. While there is a considerable body of research on interprovincial migration, relatively little is currently known about migration patterns in rural and urban areas in Canada.
According to our analysis, in virtually all provinces young people 15 to 19 years of age are leaving rural areas in greater proportions than urban areas - in part to pursue post-secondary education. While there are more complex migration patterns affecting the 20-29 age group, the net result of all migration is that the Atlantic provinces - as well as Manitoba and Saskatchewan - are net losers of their rural population aged 15-29. The problem is particularly acute in Newfoundland. In the Atlantic provinces, rural areas which fare worse than the national average - in terms of net gains of youth population - do so not because they have a higher than average percentage of leavers but rather because they are unable to attract a sufficiently high proportion of individuals into their communities.
Of all individuals who move out of their rural community, at most 25% return to this community ten years later. The implication of this result is clear: one cannot count on return migration as a means of preserving the population size of a given cohort. Rather, rural areas must rely on inflows from other (urban) areas to achieve this goal. Some rural communities achieve this; that is, they register positive net in-migration of persons aged 25-29 or older, even though they incur a net loss of younger people.
Individuals who move out of rural areas generally experience higher earnings growth than their counterparts who stay. However, it remains an open question in which direction the causality works: is the higher earnings growth the result of the migration process itself or does it reflect the possibility that people with higher earnings growth potential are more likely to become movers?
Release date: 2000-09-05 - 340. Income inequality and mortality among working-age people in Canada and the United States ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990034936Geography: CanadaDescription:
Canadian provinces and metropolitan areas had generally lower income inequality and lower mortality than their US counterparts.
Within Canada there was no association between income inequality and mortality at either the provincial or metropolitan area levels. However, this relationship is strong in the United States.
This Canada-United States comparison suggests that the Canadian urban environment may be more beneficial to health than its US counterpart.
