“…Digging deeper into expectations of making an address change (and making one in reality), our finding that neuroticism is positively related to both these outcomes is in accord with Silventoinen et al (2007). However, they do not agree fully with those of Campbell (2019) who notes that openness and extroversion are positively related to expecting to move (our analysis does not identify either), and although conscientiousness has a positive effect in England and Wales, it was negative in Australia. However, in making a move (as distinct from just having an expectation), both analyses note a positive effect for extroversion.…”

“…Neuroticism and conscientiousness, in contrast, seemed to have no impact on migratory behaviour. Campbell (2019), in an analysis of the Household Income and Dynamics in Australia study (HILDA), examines how personality influences migration intentions, certainty around these intentions and actual outcomes and how strongly intentions relate to outcomes. The migration intentions and outcomes are particularly pertinent for our analysis with openness, extroversion being positively related to intentions to move (and conscientiousness negatively) and extroversion being positively related to making a move in reality.…”

Personality, as measured by the ‘Big Five’ dimensions of agreeableness, openness, extroversion, neuroticism and conscientiousness, has been explored in the social psychological literature as a predictor of migration but so far has received very little attention in the geographical literature, which is surprising given its predictive importance and also evidence that the selectivity of migration shapes area personality profiles. Using the Understanding Society1 data set, this paper analyses how personality influences whether a respondent moves or not over a 5‐year period and, if they do, how far they move. After controlling for individual sociodemographic characteristics, it is found (a) that those who score higher on conscientiousness and neuroticism are more likely to expect to move in the next year; (b) that only those who score highly on extroversion actually made at least one move during the 5‐year period; (c) that openness is positively associated with making a long‐distance move (≥50 km); and (d) that the pattern for (c) is reversed for short‐distance moves (<10 km). These findings are significant for two reasons. First, they show that personality should be more central in migration studies and that geography can usefully seek disciplinary insights from social psychology. Second, they help us take a step towards a better understanding of the relationships between geography, personality and spatial mobility.

“…In the United States, higher openness to experience, higher extraversion, and lower agreeableness were related higher migration probability (Jokela, 2009). Other studies have reported similar findings on personality and selective residential mobility in Italy (Ciani & Capiluppi, 2011), Norway (Butikofer & Peri, 2017), and Australia (Campbell, 2019).…”

“…From wave 9, new household members that arrived in Australia for the first time after 2001 were also added to the sample. The association between personality and migration decision processes has been examined previously using the HILDA data (Campbell, 2019) but this study did not examine selective migration or personality development.…”

The economic openness of European Union (eu) countries causes the constant international migration of the inhabitants inside the eu and beyond its borders. This research revealed the international migration flows of eu highlighting the depopulation problems of some eu countries interrelating them with the economic factors of international migration. Analysing the current statistical trends, the projections of population changes were extrapolated in migrants attracting and depopulating eu countries. The statistical probabilities to reduce the emigration were calculated for the most depopulating eu countries.
