“…With regards to studies of internal migration, most researchers have concentrated on the cumulative evidence of the macro level data of the geographic distribution and migration of residents within a region (Hall, Ogden, and Hill, 1999; Jarvis, 1999). On the other hand, studies of international migration have stressed the status of immigrants as well as the exploration and discussion of their experiences (Ogden, 1998, 1999, 2000; Yeoh and Khoo, 1998; Boyle, Halfacree and Robinson, 1998). Though both these types of literature offer different focuses and explanations of the factors that influence migration, they all reach the same conclusion: migration decisions are typically rational.…”

By using economics, welfare and social network factors as frames of reference, this study aims to explore the relationship between these three factors and net migration to various US states. Adopting related variables collected from official aggregate data, this study first utilizes Logit Regression analysis to draw out seven variables that best explain net migration to the various states, then employs these variables in LISREL analyses to build a model explaining the factors influencing net migration to the various US states. Concretely, this research obtained the following findings: (1) the seven variables -the average rate of net migrants of 2002-2005, Medicaid, federal aid, employment rate, non-poverty population rate, and SSI subsidy -all significantly affected (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05) net migration in 2006; (2) the main influences on net migration for the various states are, from highest to lowest, social network, economic, and welfare factors. More specifically, a better explanation is that, through the social network factor, economic and welfare factors exert an increased influence on the net number of migrants; and (3) as for the influence of social network factors on the number of net migrants, the social network factor for the previous year was found to best explain domestic migration flows, while the social network factor for the previous three-to-four years best explained international migration flows.

“…In recent years population geographers have called for greater awareness of the rootedness of migration within everyday life experiences rather than simply examining single movements across space (McHugh, 2000). This has led them to engage with the cultural circumstances surrounding migration rather than simply focusing on statistical assessments of demographic change (Findlay and Li, 1997;Halfacree, 1995;Halfacree and Boyle, 1993;Ogden, 1998;Skeldon, 1995). Findlay and Li (1999) state that rather than focusing attention only on spatial models and migration patterns researchers also need to examine why migration occurs, particularly in relation to changing cultural contexts of migrants' everyday lives.…”

Introduction Geographical research with children has intensified over recent years with growing acceptance that children are social actors creating their own unique geographies (Aitken, 2001; Holloway and Valentine, 2000a; 2000b; Katz, 1993; Matthews et al, 1999). Children-focused research has been brought to the forefront of many geographical subdisciplines, in line with the recognition that society is culturally diverse and composed of complex individuals with different ways of seeing and understanding the world. With a few notable exceptions the burgeoning literature on children's geographies has focused on children's microgeographies and on their specific relationships to environments such as the home, school, playground

“…En el caso de la fecundidad o nupcialidad, el uso de las estadísticas vitales es más limitado o, en todo caso, es complementario de la utilización de encuestas, dado que es tan relevante conocer la variación de los indicadores demográficos, o las características demográficas de los individuos, como las causas sociales que provocan dichos cambios. como la británica Population Studies, ambas especializadas en demografía, hayan prestado poco interés en las cuestiones geográficas en sus más de 50 años de existencia, aparte de algunos artículos cuyo objetivo principal consiste en realizar una revisión de la bibliografía del tema (Ogden 1998). Por su parte, la Population and Development Review, introduce, al menos en sus objetivos, un giro diferente, al relacionar la población con desarrollo, aunque habría que matizar que este giro no implica necesariamente una mirada geográfica.…”

“…A pesar de todo lo anterior, no es sino hasta 1995 que se crea la primera revista científica especializada en el tema, International Journal of Population Geography (Ogden 1998) y hasta el siglo XXI que se organiza el primer congreso internacional sobre Geografía de la Población, celebrado en St. Andrews, Escocia, en julio del 2002, con la intención de que este sea de una periodicidad bianual (el segundo, en 2004, también se celebró en la misma universidad escocesa). De las 79 comunicaciones del congreso de 2002, cuatro abordaron temáticas relativas a la fecundidad, tres más a la mortalidad y la amplia mayoría, el resto, fueron dedicadas a asuntos relativos a movilidad y migración (Solana 2002).…”

Geografía de la población: cuantitativos versus teóricos

En este artículo se hace una revisión teórica sobre la trayectoria teórico-metodológica de la geografía de la población. Se inicia con la discusión sobre el principal objetivo de esta subdisciplina: las variaciones territoriales en la distribución y concentración de la población, en la estructura por edades y sexo y en los eventos sociodemográficos. En segundo lugar, se analiza específicamente el aporte de los métodos cuantitativos y la relevancia de la demografía espacial. Finalmente, se reflexiona sobre el futuro de la geografía de la población, y se propone que esta necesita replantear sus objetivos, ante la evidente complejidad de las sociedades (urbanas) del siglo XXI.
