There is a need for an understanding of the causes of inter-regional migration and its relationship to other regional characteristics such as employment levels. Previous studies provide some confirmation that inter-regional migration flows can be accounted for largely in terms of differences in earnings and differences in unemployment rates among the regions, but more research is needed.
