Internal migration between places (wards and/or SOAs) in NI has been under researched. In particular, there have been few quantitative analyses. This project aims to address this gap by exploring migration patterns using selected individual, household and ecological variables. The study has two focuses: community background and health status. Particular issues the project seeks to explore include the extent to which individuals living in areas where they are the ‘minority community’ are more likely to move after controlling for selected individual and household characteristics; whether there are differential mobility patterns for people with health problems by the type of area in which they live; and what types of movers are associated with upwards (or downwards) social mobility, as measured by variables such as housing conditions and neighbourhood deprivation.
The first stage of the proposed work programme will be a descriptive analysis of migration by the selected explanatory variables. The second stage of the work will apply formal modelling approaches such as logistic regression to explore the determinants of mobility. If time permits, more sophisticated multi-level and geographically-weighted approaches will be considered.
