Monitoring rural areas / Thematic analysis V1 (05025)
Overview
Background & policy context:
In recent decades, Switzerland's spatial structures have changed significantly. The population growth, increasing mobility and structural economic changes induced also a strong evolution of rural areas. A description of the development in the field of internal migration on Switzerland was needed as a base for future development prediction.
Objectives:
Description of the development of internal migration in Switzerland (internal migration between urban and rural) in the past 25 years as well as analysis of the socio-demographic structure of migrants
Methodology:
In the first part of the study the extent of migration is identified in Switzerland as a whole and for the individual room types. The second part deals with the profile of migrants in the different types of migration.
Following basic questions have to be answered:
- How many people migrated in recent decades from rural areas in the urban areas and vice versa from the urban to the rural areas?
- Which differences can be recognized between the various types of regions?
- What is socio-demographic and professional structure of the people emigrating from rural space in contrast to the people immigrating to the rural space?
