Les migrations internes en France de 1954 a 1975. I Vue d'ensemble

Abstract

Courgeau Daniel. ? Internai Migration in France between 1954 and 1975. I. An Overview. Internal mobility in France, measured from information obtained from replies to a census question about place of residence at the previous census, increased between 1954 and 1975 at a more rapid rate than in the past; the proportion changing their 'commune' doubled in 60 years, and those changing their region in 40. At present, more than 10 % of the French population move home each year. There are regional differences in internal mobility : in the Northern and Eastern parts of France, including the Paris region, there has been a decline in net migration, whereas the opposite is true in the Southern and Western regions. This remains true for the elderly and for people of working age. The evolution is also different in towns and in the countryside. In time towns lose their attractiveness to migrants, whereas the aversion to living in the country appears to decline and in some cases the countryside has become attractive to migrants, irrespective of whether it forms part of an industrial or urban population zone ?? not.
