Zusammenfassung:Enth. 21 Beitr.
These 21 national case studies of internal migration were written especially for this unusual and useful volume. . . . The resulting blend of the general and the particular, especially when viewed across the 21 countries, will be useful to a wide range of basic and applied social scientists. Choice. Social and economic change within countries can often be traced through the movement of population at the national level. The abandonment or return to inner cities, the volume of movement within and between rural and urban areas, the movement of the elderly, all of these factors and others combine to give us an important picture of national change. The International Handbook on Internal Migration is a compilation of 21 case studies, each focusing on a different country, each written specifically for this book by an expert in the field. Extensively illustrated with tables and figures, the book will serve as an invaluable reference text. It will also be of great interest to students of the social sciences, especially sociology, economics, and geography. The countries included are: the US, Canada, Brazil, Guatemala, Ecuador, Botswana, Egypt, Kenya, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, Poland, USSR, China, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, and Thailand.
