Item Restricted An analysis of inter-regional migration in the Philippine for the period 1979 to 1980(1987-03) Aballo, Ruel M.; Moreno, Honorata A.This paper delved into the analysis of inter-regional migration in the Philippines for the period 1970 to 1980. Analysis of the trends and patterns of inter-regional migration revealed that majority of Philippine migrants tended to move towards urban areas, especially towards the National Capital Region. It also revealed that Luzon migrants tended to move within Luzon only, Visayan migrants towards Luzon and Mindanao migrants within the Mindanao island only. This paper also attempted to quantify the factors which significantly influenced ipter-regiona1 migration in the Philip- pines. Using regional geographic, demographic and economic indicators, a multiple regression analysis was effected to identify the significant determinants of inter-regional migration. The results indicated that urbanization, population density, farm density and income differential were significant in instituting the trends and patterns of inter-regional mobility.Item Restricted Determinants of inter-regional migration in the Philippines(2004-10) Jimenez, Ma. Jeanette F.; Sotto, Erica Christel A.; Alonzo, RupertoThe advent of the 1980s has seen a shift in the characteristics of the Philippine internal migration streams to a more urban-ward movement. Migration is seen as a prominent contributory factor in the country's spatial imbalance in population distribution, making it a relevant developmental concern. This paper attempts to delve deeper into the issue of internal migration in the Philippines by examining the phenomenon at its very core, which is, the rationale behind the decision of an individual to migrate. The main objectives that this research hopes to achieve are to test for the significant determinants of inter-regional migration in the Philippines for the years 1985-1990, to determine the differences in migratory decision between males and females, and to draw policy implications and recommendations based on the results. With regression analysis, it has been found that the significant variables which affect the migration rate are the following: income at origin, income at destination, unemployment at origin, unemployment at destination, urbanization at origin, urbanization at destination, farm density at destination, income difference, unemployment difference, urbanization difference, farm density difference, past migration, distance, and ethnicity. Each one exhibited the hypothesized sign except for income at origin, urbanization at origin, unemployment at destination, and unemployment difference, which through further analysis was found to be consistent with the Todaro migration hypothesis. Past migration emerged as an overwhelmingly dominant variable. The model generally exhibited a better fit for female migration than male migration.
