“…Similar results were reported from a survey of regional relocations of metropolitan workers, which highlights the importance of familial and friendship connections and amenity in such migration patterns (Denham 2021). Both of these studies indicate that housing affordability is not as great a factor in regional relocation as the type of housing on offer within housing budgets.…”

“…Also, the proportion of residents in regional urban centres commuting to work in capital cities is increasing over time, from 7.5 per cent of work trips in 2011 to 8.9 per cent in 2016. This pattern appears to be a reflection of the dynamics previously reported by Denham (2021), namely metro-to-regional migration for housing affordability and lifestyle reasons, combined with the continued relative buoyancy and scale of metropolitan labour markets.…”

“…The expanding housing market, in terms of increase in the level of housing stock, housing prices, ownership and the market turnover rate, positively correlates with local employment growth (0.265). This relationship between population growth and housing-market factors is not unexpected, but increasing housing costs are not necessarily desirable for regional urban centres, particularly if they are not accompanied by wages growth (Costello 2007;Denham 2021). This could be a consequence of retirement-based population growth in which wealth substitutes for income, thus artificially inflating the relative significance of low-wage population-based service employment.…”

“…It is of note that in the years since the DURD, the neoliberal and non-interventionalist approach (Tonts and Haslam-McKenzie 2005) has seen the re-emergence of the issues that underpin this research: the concentration of population and opportunity in the metropolitan areas, while some parts of regional areas have experienced decline. There have been substantial changes to national settlement structures and social patterns since the 1970s, but the essential aspect of federally coordinated approaches to regional development across land use, transport, economy and institutions-with government as a partner in regional innovation and development-may provide a basis for further policy development (Mazzucato 2016;2021).…”

“…Gurran (2008) cautions that there is potential for spatial cleavages to emerge between declining traditional regional industries in sea-change locations and the buoyant economies of major metropolitan areas. Such cleavages could lead to polarisation in the seachange locations with the influx of metropolitan migrants, as well as the prospect of gentrification as regional housing costs rise (Costello 2007;Denham 2021). There is also 'welfare migration', where less affluent households relocate from metropolitan areas to regions because of income and cost pressures (Burnley, Marshall et al 2007).…”

The current analysis aims to explore the empirical nexus between financial development, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow, and employment rate. To attain this aim, we collect 30 years of annual data over the period 1990 to 2019 from South Asian economies and employ the autoregressive dynamic least square (ARDL) model for regression analysis. The implication of the ARDL model was subject to the mixed stationarity status of the series as assessed by unit root testing. The robustness of the analysis was checked by employing the fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) models. The statistical analysis infers that both financial development and FDI inflow enhance the employment rate in the South Asia region. In addition, the empirical analysis infers that the gross capital formation, economic growth, and export volume have a positive while the population growth rate has a negative effect on the employment rate. The impact of underlying explanatory variables was found significant only in long run. The estimated coefficient values in the case of FMOLS and DOLS models support the direction of the relationship between explanatory variables and employment rate, implying the robustness of the analysis. The findings of the current analysis can be used to devise efficient economic policies to cope with the encroaching issue of unemployment in the South Asia region. This study offers the robustness to existing literature and complements the literature by exploring the underlying arrangement of study to the whole South Asia group.

Worker intra‐urban residential migration and spatial labour market change in Melbourne's functional economic regions

This paper investigates the intra‐urban residential migration of workers in Melbourne and assesses the spatial effects of this dynamic on urban internal structure and spatial labour markets. Intra‐urban migration is an important category of internal migration that relocates human and social capital in urban areas, contributing to changes in urban residential and labour market structure. This paper fills the gap in internal migration literature by determining spatial residential movement dynamics through a spatial analysis of census‐based intra‐urban migration flow data. In addition to detailed migration flow analysis undertaken at a local scale, the paper contributes an improved economic data geography based on functional economic regions (FERs) that permits analysis of the intersection of worker migration flows with sub‐metropolitan labour markets. Our results show that intra‐urban migration results in a strong outward flow of workers in Melbourne, which primarily appears to be shaped by spatial housing markets. This process, in turn, contributes to the dispersion of labour markets in Melbourne, complicating policy aims concerning urban agglomeration and limiting urban spatial expansion.
