INTERNAL MIGRATION IN TURKEY, 1965–1985: TEST OF CONFLICTING FINDINGS IN THE LITERATURE
The purpose of this paper is to bring new insights to some of the conflicting findings in the migration literature about developing countries by using detailed analyses of Turkish migration data. The possible reasons behind inconsistencies in the findings are explained in terms of spatial and temporal characteristics of the data, and by national macro factors (mainly the level of urbanization and the characteristics of the urban systems). Tested were rural outâ€ migration and push factors; changes in the size of ruralâ€ toâ€ urban and urbanâ€ toâ€ rural return migration; the effect of distance; and the share and effect of ruralâ€ toâ€ urban migration in the urban growth and in the unbalanced population distribution in developing countries.
Demographic Analysis of Inter-Provincial Migration in Turkey and its Impact on the Development Corridors
The present study investigates age-specific provincial migration in Turkey using both, five-year and life time measures for 2007-2008 and 2010-2011, a method which allows changes in the pattern of job markets and human settlements to be tracked. The aim of this study is first, to investigate in detail the relationship between the inand out-migration of the provinces at the country level. The second is to determine the relationship between the in-migration and out-migration and the age-pyramids of the provinces. The third is to show the relationships between the economic development islands and the age-pyramids of the provinces. According to the results; at the provincial level, while the in-migration decreases as the distance increases between the origin provinces for the Western provinces, out-migration increases as the distance increases between the origin provinces in the East, South-East and the Black Sea regions. Although in general, distance negatively effects in-migration at the country level, for the less developed provinces in the East, South-East and the Black Sea regions, out-migration increases to the large metropolitan areas in the West. Consequently, it is therefore necessary to stimulate a public and private investment to create new jobs and to improve the quality of educational facilities.
