Mechanism of migration in Finland in the 1960s

Abstract

The present study explains the position of centres of varied size and level as recipients of migration flow. A further object is to show to what extent and at what level the so‑called step‑wise migration occurs. Finally, a general explanation is given of changes in the migration movement since the 1920s between provinces. 7 centres serve as objects of study. Step‑wise migra­tion and migration movement are explained in the light partly of examples, partly of statistics concerning the whole country.
