L’évolution Des Flux Migratoires Interrégionale en Algérie

Abstract

This article focuses on the study of the evolution of internal migratory exchanges between all administrative regions of the Algerian territory between the years 1987 and 2008. The objective of this article is to quantify the intensity and concentration of internal migratory flows, the spatial orientation of migrants, the regions of preference, as well as the efficiency of interregional migration in Algeria. For this, we used the net migration rate, the Gini Coefficient index, the preference index, as well as the regional and national efficiency index. In order to carry out this work, we have created the matrices of migratory flows between the nine Algerian administrative regions based on migration data, which is published by the national statistics office. The results obtained show that migrations took place from the South to the North, with a preference for the Capital region and that for the Eastern Highlands. In terms of the efficiency of migratory flows, the redistribution of the population is very low, which makes the regional imbalance persistent, unless the regional planning policy is modified by developing new plans and methods to reduce the interregional imbalance.
