Analyzing Migration and Commuting Behaviors in the UK Household Context

This study explores the links between internal migration, commuting patterns, and within-household relationships in the UK. It aims to investigate trends, interactions, and spatial patterns of mobility behaviors using census data and surveys. The research also delves into the classification of moving group types, spatial commuting patterns, and relationships within households.

  1. Understanding Population Trends and Processes:Links between internal migration, commuting and within household relationships Oliver Duke-Williams School of Geography, University of Leeds o.w.duke-williams@leeds.ac.uk www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/o.duke-williams/ ESRC Grant No: RES 163-25-0007

  2. Migration and commuting • Migration and commuting are important agents of change • Migration behaviour varies with • The number of persons who move together • The presence (or not) of existing residents in the destination household • Relationships between migrants and existing residents

  3. Migration and commuting • Migration affects patterns of commuting • Change in location of employment • Change in journey to work • Trade-offs between migration and commuting • Long distance weekly commuting • Dual career households

  4. Aims • Investigate trends and processes related to characteristics of individuals and groups of migrants • Investigate interactions between migration and commuting behaviour • Investigate how relationships between and within groups of migrants and residents explain mobility patterns

  5. Data sources • 2001 Census • Longitudinal Study • Labour Force Survey • British Household Panel Survey

  6. Objectives • Classifying moving group types

  7. Moving groups • A new innovation in the 2001 Census • Allows separate groups within the household to be identified • Previous Censuses had only ‘migrants’ and ‘wholly moving households’

  8. Moving groups in the UK • About 3.5million groups identified • These contained 5.8million migrants • Group size distribution is different for wholly moving and other groups Source: 2001 Census: Special Migration Statistics Level 1; Table MG106

  9. Classifying group types

  10. Classifying group types

  11. Classifying group types

  12. Classifying group types

  13. Classifying group types

  14. Objectives • Classifying moving group types • Describe spatial patterns of internal migration in UK by various groups

  15. Spatial patterns of migration • How do preferred destinations vary for groups of different sizes? • Is there a difference in the distances travelled?

  16. Objectives • Classifying moving group types • Describe spatial patterns of internal migration in UK by various groups • Describe spatial patterns of commuting behaviour by household composition

  17. Spatial commuting patterns • Using the Census, explore patterns at an aggregate scale • By family status • By living arrangements • Using the Labour Force Survey, explore patterns for individuals at national scale

  18. Objectives • Classifying moving group types • Describe spatial patterns of internal migration in UK by various groups • Describe spatial patterns of commuting behaviour by household composition • Relate spatial behaviour to relationships within household

  19. Relationship matrix • Allows a partial grid to be constructed • Remainder is derived • Information for 6th and subsequent persons is limited Source: 2001 Census form H1. ONS

  20. Relationship matrix • Allows wider range of family types to be identified • Extended families • Multi-generational families • Allows easier identification of hidden families

  21. Relating spatial behaviour and household relationships • Use records from Longitudinal Study • Explore patterns for a sample of individual households • How well do aggregate patterns reflect range of individual patterns? • Analysis likely to be at national level • Explore long-term stability of moving groups

  22. Objectives • Classifying moving group types • Describe spatial patterns of internal migration in UK by various groups • Describe spatial patterns of commuting behaviour by household composition • Relate spatial behaviour to relationships within household • Link migration patterns to commuting behaviour

  23. Linking migration and commuting patterns • Use BHPS to study motivations for migration and impact on households • Changes in material circumstance • Changes in household composition • Use LFS to study • Changes in commuting behaviour • Find comparator households to those in LS
