STRUCTURAL ECONOMIC CHANGE, LABOUR MARKET SEGMENTATION AND INTERREGIONAL MIGRATION

Abstract: ABSTRACT In the 1970s there were marked changes in internal migration in Australia, with the major metropolitan areas experiencing, for the first time, significant losses in their migration interchanges with other areas. Simultaneously, country regions recorded substantial reductions in their formerly high rates of net outmigration. This paper argues that these migration changes were largely a response to the changing location and structure of labour demand: the high degree of labour market segmentation in Australia, and changes in the industrial structure of employment, together provide an explanation for contrasts in the migration responses of different demographic groups.
