“…During the 1970s, the pattern was of ageing concentrations in the centre and middle suburbs of cities (Hugo, ). The subsequent decades saw greater concentrations of older persons in peripheral suburbs, a trend identified across Australia (Bell, ; Han & Corcoran, ; Hugo, ). Studying Adelaide, Hugo (2014b) states that this trend was due to out‐migration of older people as a result of urban renewal, urban consolidation, and gentrification, which favoured younger people, and also due to the life cycle of suburbs with ageing in place of people who had moved to the periphery with young families in the previous decades (Hugo, ; Schwirian, ).…”

Population ageing and urbanisation are worldwide phenomena that are transforming societies and having profound economic and social effects on cities and countries throughout the world.Ageing is not taking place evenly, and in many developed cities, ageing growth rates are greater in peripheral areas than in the centre. This paper determines how intrametropolitan residential mobility and ageing-in-place patterns vary across age categories and geographical scales, explored through a case study of metropolitan Perth, a rapidly growing, low-density, sprawling city. Using a life course perspective, this study examines Australian residential mobility census data between 2006 and 2011 and disaggregates this into 4 age categories: preretirement (ages 55-64), seniors in active retirement (ages 65-74), mature-aged seniors (ages 75-84), and older aged seniors (over 85 years). This study adds to the internal migration literature by offering new insights into the age-specific mobility patterns of older populations within metropolitan areas. The results reveal that the overriding dynamic is one of stability across the metropolitan area with the dominant trend being "ageing in place." It was found that the likelihood of residential mobility varies by age, and a 2-peak mobility pattern was identified, with the preretirement and the older aged seniors exhibiting the most mobility. Additionally, although the majority of moves were short distance, younger ages moved farther than did the older aged categories.The study makes empirical and conceptual contributions to our understanding of ageing residential mobility trends within metropolitan areas.

“… Australia's history of centralised industrial relations structures have systematically suppressed regional wage differences at the occupation, sector and industry scale (see Bell, 1992). The Industry Commission (1993) viewed this lack of regional differentiation as inhibiting processes of regional adjustment to structural economic change.…”

Abstract:Migration plays an important role in neo-liberal regional adjustment. This paper explores the role of economic shocks in stimulating internal migration within Australia. Drawing on the experiences of retrenched Ansett airlines employees, it argues that economic crisis impels some households to relocate but traps others in places with restricted employment prospects. For some, the crisis of retrenchment triggers inter-State migration to take up new jobs. For others, it prompts relocation to less expensive housing, often in a geographically proximate location. These opposing responses, which are different outcomes of similar causal processes, exacerbate regional inequalities as they selectively encourage younger skilled workers to enter growing regions. The combination of high housing costs and insecure employment discourages speculative migration. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the policy implications of these findings.

“…A first step in examining the changing urbanhegional system was to look at long-term population trends at a regional level. That work was further stimulated by a number of studies which focused on urban and regional change in Australia, especially Bell's (1992) analysis of the nature and impacts of internal migration in the context of the changing Australian economy and population. The following discussion is primarily descriptive but is informed by a wider understanding of processes of urban and regional change.…”

“…Metropolitan areas Perth and Adelaide are established locally-dominant metropolitan centres within otherwise sparsely settled states. They changed places in the population league table between 1971 and 1986, although, as Bell's (1992) monograph has demonstrated, both became more dominant locally. Perth's population increased especially with the mineral boom of the 1970s, wheareas Adelaide has experienced manufacturing decline.…”
