Papers in Regional Science, 1992, vol. 71, issue 2, 153-173

Abstract: ABSTRACT Like many developed countries, Japan showed a drastic reduction in net population inflow to the core regions in the 1970s. This paper examines the contribution of a changing supply of highly mobile young adults, as well as employment growth, to this trend. Shift‐share analysis of the change in migration patterns reveals that the main cause was a greatly reduced rate of out‐migration from the peripheral regions by young adults.
