Abstract
Flowerdew R. and Salt J. (1979) Migration between labour market areas in Great Britain, 1970–1971, Reg. Studies 13, 211–231. Using a set of 126 areal units (Standard Metropolitan Labour Areas) intended to represent labour markets, this paper describes and analyses 1970–71 migration flows. It begins with a description of the most important flows between labour market areas, in both absolute and relative terms. The effects of labour market size are removed by a transaction flow analysis, and the effects of distance and size are evaluated by a gravity model. The largest residuals from the gravity model are then identified and discussed in terms of economic and other explanatory factors.Keywords
