Patterns of Sardinian Migration

Abstract

In the first part of this paper, the authors trace "the history of Sardinian migration from the late nineteenth century to the present time. In the second part an attempt is made to test some of the hypothesized causes of migration. Census variables related to these causes and to the spatial pattern of migration are identified and analysed by the technique of stepwise multiple regression." The analysis, based on data for communes, covers the inter-censal period 1961-1971. The emphasis is on out-migration
