“…Fulanda et al (2009) suggest that coastal fishing has been the most significant factor determining the movement of people to the east African and Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region for several centuries. In addition, the development of the marine functions of coastal territories is of great importance (Iden, Richter 1971;Jiang et al 2014;Morrissey, O'Donoghue 2012). This confirms the previous finding that employment is one of the key motives for migration to the coastal zone (zelinsky 1971).…”

Coastalisation is a widely known concept that builds on the global urbanisation of the world's marine and ocean coasts. In this paper, the degree of coastalisation of the Russian regions is analysed using a variety of parameters, including population numbers and gross regional products, indicating the accumulation of human activity in the coastal regions against the less densely populated inland territories. This research shows that coastalisation is expected to continue, making coastal regions the most attractive for international and interregional migration, hence their high innovation performance. Based on the principles of human geography, we put forward the hypothesis that Russia's coastal territories are highly heterogeneous in their development dynamics. This study aims to test the interdependence between migration figures and innovation values across 23 regions of Russia with access to the sea. The research design comprises three stages: calculation of innovation performance, evaluation of migration flows and the building up of a typology of coastal regions. The research results reveal an increased migration attractiveness of the country's coastal regions, with the St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad agglomerations and the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Krai (region) as the main attractors. Intensive innovation activity is characteristic of St. Petersburg, the northern capital of Russia, whereas peripheral regions where the extractive industries dominate (the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (district), Kamchatka, Krasnoyarsk and Magadan regions) demonstrate a much weaker trend towards combining innovation performance and migration attractiveness.

“…The empirical results are only partly satisfying. While most studies agree that income has an influence on choice of destination, the evidence on the relation between origin income levels and outmigration is quite mixed and appears to depend substantially on the other variables that are included in the regression equations (see, for example, Lowry 1966;Rogers 1967;Alonso 1971Alonso , 1972Iden and Richter 1971;Vanderkamp 1971;and Trott 1971).3…”

By examining the 1979 income status of 1975–1980 inmigrants, outmigrants, and nonmigrants, we gauged the income effects of migration for a group of chronic low‐income counties in the nonmetropolitan South. The effects are demonstrated to be positive for the migrants themselves and negative for the low‐income counties. In both instances, however, the effects are unexpectedly small. By considering both in‐ and outmigrants, we show that these counties experienced a remarkable degree of income replacement and also present evidence that the results are not primarily due to the particular migration period under study. The findings give additional evidence of the substantial inefficiency at work in American migration patterns.

“…21 These studies support the conclusion that the association is negative between out-migration and earnings, and positive between in-migration and 18 Thomas Aronsson, Johan Lundberg, and Magnus Wirstrom, "Regional Income Growth and Net Migration in Sweden, 1970-1995," Regional Studies, Vol 35, no 9: 823-830, 2001. Iden and Richter (1971) find no association between in-migration or out-migration and earnings when studying areas of the Atlantic coastal plains. 22 As discussed in Ritchey (1976) Rutman (1970 finds no association between migration and the percentage of the population with high incomes in studying West Virginian counties, and Trott (1971) finds that out-migration decreases as earnings level of selected areas increases.…”

Proliferation concerns in the Russian closed nuclear weapons complex cities : a study of regional migration behavior.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 left the legacy of the USSR weapons complex with an estimated 50 nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons cities containing facilities responsible for research, production, maintenance, and destruction of the weapons stockpile. The Russian Federation acquired ten such previously secret, closed nuclear weapons complex cities. Unfortunately, a lack of government funding to support these facilities resulted in non-payment of salaries to employees and even plant closures, which led to an international fear of weapons material and knowledge proliferation.This dissertation analyzes migration in 33 regions of the Russian Federation, six of which contain the ten closed nuclear weapons complex cities. This study finds that the presence of a closed nuclear city does not significantly influence migration. However, the factors that do influence migration are statistically different in regions containing closed nuclear cities compared to regions without closed nuclear cities. Further, these results show that the net rate of migration has changed across the years since the break up of the Soviet Union, and that the push and pull factors for migration have changed across time. Specifically, personal and residential factors had a significant impact on migration immediately following the collapse of the Soviet Union, but economic infrastructure and societal factors became significant in later years. Two significant policy conclusions are derived from this research. First, higher levels of income are found to increase outmigration from regions, implying that programs designed to prevent migration by increasing incomes for closed city residents may be counter-productive. Second, this study finds that programs designed to increase capital and build infrastructure in the new Russian Federation will be more effective for employing scientists and engineers from the weapons complex, and consequently reduce the potential for emigration of potential Despite the political difficulties and rapidly slowing economy after the Soviet collapse, the Russian government managed to find resources to keep the large weapons complex operational. However, the situation was tenuous, to say the least. Payment of salaries to workers became erratic, long-standing research teams were dissolved, and many laboratories were closed. Anxiety and fear spread as the world became aware of the unemployment status of so many thousands of expert weapons scientists and engineers throughout the Newly Independent States (NIS) of the Former Soviet Union.To better understand this concern, it is necessary to understand the birth and growth of the Soviet military complex, specifically the cities and production facilities of the weapons complex. Ten Previously Closed Nuclear Weapons FacilitiesRussia's ten closed nuclear cities were created for the sole purpose of supporting nuclear weapons production and research, and to provide a livelihood for the families of facility employees. 8 Figure 1 below provides a map of the te...
