“…Yet, an increasingly complex picture of ethnic demographic change is emerging. Latino populations, largely city dwellers, have been expanding into the rural US (Lichter, ); a dispersal of established minority ethnic populations from cities is occurring throughout Europe (Finney & Catney, ), including Britain (Simpson & Finney, ); and new immigration streams into rural areas are observable in, for example, Australia, New Zealand, Canada (Wulff et al ., ), and the UK (e.g. the new settlement patterns of European 2004 ‘A8 accession’ immigrants, following labour opportunities in rural locales; Robinson, ).…”

The Changing Geographies of Ethnic Diversity in England and Wales, 1991–2011

While ethnic diversity is traditionally an urban characteristic, new spaces of diversity are emerging. This challenges our current understandings of the geographies of ethnic diversity and forces us to consider the more intricate spatial patterns and processes of ethnic group population change. Ethnic diversity, now a key feature of contemporary society in Britain, is an issue of public, policy, political, and academic interest; the 2011 Census provided an opportunity to update our knowledge of how diversity has grown, and in what ways. This paper explores the new geographies of ethnic diversity in England and Wales, mapping the evolving landscape of diversity over two decades. The paper makes use of measures of diversity and clustering for small areas (wards) for consistent geographies for 1991–2011, and for the most recent decade using a district level urban–rural area classification. There is evidence of a spreading out of ethnic diversity from urban centres towards areas traditionally less diverse. Spatial mixing has increased – the period also saw a growth of minority ethnic groups in areas outside own‐group clusters. The increased share of all ethnic groups (White British and minority) in less urban areas challenges claims of ‘White flight’ from diversity. Increased ethnic diversity is clearly an important feature of contemporary population change, and the coming years are likely to see continued mixing between people and within places – and in new locales.

“…The increasing level of immigration into rural regions is not just an outcome of economic change but is also a key policy tool used to manage rural economic change and generate regional economic development. In particular, over the last few decades, immigration policy has become increasingly ‘regionalised’ in a number of OECD countries (Carter et al, ; Collantes et al, ; Hugo and Morén‐Alegret, ; Hugo, ; Hugo et al, ; Spoonley and Bedford, ; Wulff et al, ). That is, the state not only influences who gains entry but increasingly seeks to determine where immigrants can settle.…”

An important feature of globalisation processes has been the increased level of immigration. For the most part, this has been considered an urban phenomenon. As a consequence, a less well‐known feature of contemporary global immigration patterns is that an increasing proportion of immigrants are now settling in rural locations. Over the last decade, however, there has been a burgeoning of research into the political‐economic processes that have produced an increased level of immigration into rural regions in many OECD nation‐states. This paper begins by reviewing some of the reasons why this dimension of rural demographic change has gone under the radar of both researchers and policy makers. It then examines how immigration into rural regions is both an important feature of the multifunctional rural transition and a product of the ‘regionalisation’ of immigration policy as a distinct regional development strategy employed regarding rural areas.

“…There are a variety of arrangements for attracting migrants to traditionally less popular destinations. Among them are subnational or municipal schemes to attract and retain migrants, additional points awarded to immigrants with employment offers outside major metropolitan centres or to those willing to reside outside such centres, community sponsorship programmes, and so on (Wulff et al., : 120‐21). Australia and Canada introduced subnational immigration programmes in the 1990s.…”

Migrants’ Intention to Move or Stay in their Initial Destination

International Migration

The objective of this article is to find out why immigrants intend to stay in or leave their initial destination. The insight into such factors could help develop policy measures to deal with potential out‐migration, especially from the regions that view international migration as a solution to their demographic and economic difficulties. The study uses multinomial logistic regression to estimate the strength of association between migrants' intention to move and immigration category, human capital, economic and social factors. The data come from the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia. The findings show that different groups of migrants have different propensities to move or stay in their initial destination. Employer‐sponsored migrants are even less likely to intend to relocate than family class. Highly educated and skilled migrants tend to be more likely to express the intention to move or have doubts. Satisfactory employment has a positive impact on retention.
