“…The territorial disparities of migration have received the attention of many researchers in Latvia (e.g. Krisjane et al 2017;Zhitin et al 2018;Arbidane & Markevica 2016;Göler et al 2014;Apsite et al 2012;Krisjane & Berzins 2012) and in the European context (Poot et al 2008;Hazans 2003;Champion 2008). Migration is influenced by the income gap between economically developed and less developed regions (Harris & Todaro 1970;Greenwood & Hunt 2003;Boyle et al 1998), agricultural production efficiency and development (Camaioni et al 2019;Clark et al 1997;Chomy et al 2011;Brodzinski 2007), sustainable forestry and rural area development (Yilmaz et al 2010;Smallbone 2009) and economic benefit for individuals (Sjaastad 1962).…”

“…Similar studies are being conducted at the European level (Rechel et al 2013;O'Reilly 2015;Brekke 2015;Nica 2015;Wilson et al 2013;De Vries et al 2019). Many studies have also been carried out in Latvia, both on migration processes taking place in the territory of Latvia (Apsīte-Beriņa et al 2019; Burgmanis et al 2014;Göler et al 2014), as well as on the manifestations of emigration and immigration (McCollum et al 2017;Göler et al 2016;Apsite-Berina 2018).…”
