    2. REGIONAL COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MIGRATION: LEVELSDespite the growing availability of statistics on migra-

    tion among various administrative areas within the moredeveloped nations, the unresolved problem of how to standardizeareal units to reflect different sizes and shapes has hamperedinternational comparisons of geographical mobility levels. Toavoid this problem, a few studies have resorted to comparisonsof counts of all changes of residence during a specified intervalof time (e.g., Long and Boertlein 1976). Table 2 sets out sucha comparison by way of illustration.

    According to Column 2 of Table 2, about 18.6 percent ofthe US population moved from one residence to another withinthe country during a 12-month period around 1980, comparedwith about 1 1 . 1 percent in Great Britain and 12.0 percent inJapan. These data lend support to the hypothesis that ratesof geographical mobility are relatively high in the UnitedStates.

    The migration data collected for the Comparative Migrationand Settlement Study have a number of crippling deficienciesthat make them totally unsuitable for international comparisonsof this sort. Not only do they describe flows of peoplebetween areas of different sizes and shapes, but also theydo so for different moments in time, using time intervals ofdifferent widths, and relying on data collected in differentways. Therefore, in this paper, we shall focus only on com-parisons of differences within (and not between) countries.In this way we hope to reduce, as much as possible, the unknownimpacts of these deficiencies in the data and to carry out someguarded and rough assessments of intranational differentialsin migration patterns.

    The shape, or profile, of an age-specific schedule ofmigration rates is a feature that may be usefully studiedindependently of its intensity, or level. This is because thereis considerable empirical evidence that although the lattertends to vary significantly from place to place, the former isremarkably similar in various communities. Regional differen-tials in migration levels are examined in this section; a com-parison of regional differentials in migration age profiles arestudied in the next section. We begin with an examination ofdifferentials among total pogulations and then go on to considerdisaggregations by sex and age.

    2.1 Differentials Among Regional PopulationsTo examine regional differentials in outmigration levels,

    we must first adopt an aggregate measure of such levels. Aconvenient indicator is the gross migraproduction rate (GMR):the sum of all age-specific outmigration rates from a regionmultiplied by the number of years in the age interval (fivein our case). It is evident from this definition that a region'sgross migraproduction rate is calculated in a way analogous toits gross death rate and its gross reproduction rate. By giving

    3. REGIONAL COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MIGRATION: AGE PROFILESMost human populations experience rates of age-specific

    fertility and mortality that exhibit remarkably persistentregularities. Consequently, demographers have found it possibleto summarize and codify such regularities by means of mathemat-ical expressions called model schedules. Although the develop-ment of model fertility and mortality schedules have receivedconsiderable attention in demographic studies, the constructionof model migration schedules has not, even though the techniquesthat have been successfully applied to treat the former can bereadily extended to deal with the latter.

    We began this paper with an examination of regularitiesin age profile exhibited by empirical schedules of migrationrates; we now adopt the notion of model migration schedulesto express these regularities in mathematical form. We thenuse model schedules to examine patterns of variation presentin a large number of such schedules. Drawing on this compara-tive analysis of "observed" model schedules, we develop several"families" of schedules and define a "standard" migration sched-ule. We then go on to disaggregate age profiles by causeand by family status in an effort to account for their apparentuniversality.

    3.1 Model Migration SchedulesThe most prominent regularity found in empirical schedules

    of age-specific migration rates is the selectivity of migrationwith respect to age. Young adults in their early twentiesgenerally show the highest migration rates and young teenagersthe lowest. The migration rates of children mirror those oftheir parents; hence the'migration rates of infants exceed thoseof adolescents. Finally, migration streams directed towardregions with warmer climates and into or out of large citieswith relatively high levels of social services and culturalamenities often exhibit a "retirement peak" at ages in the mid-sixties or beyond.

    Figure 4 illustrates a typical o b s e r v e d age-specific migra-tion schedule (the jagged outline) and its graduation by am o d e l s c h e d u l e (the superimposed smooth outline) defined as thesum of four components:

    1 . A single negative exponential curve of the p r e - l a b o rf o r c e a g e s , with its rate of descent al

    2. A left-skewed unimodal curve of the l a b o r f o r c e agespositioned at mean age p on the age axis and exhibiting2rates of ascent X and descent a22

    3. An almost bell-shaped curve of the p o s t - l k b o r f o r c eages positioned at p3 on the age axis and exhibitingrates of ascent X3 and descent a3

    4. A constant curve c, the inclusion of which improvesthe fit of the mathematical expression to the observedschedule

    The decomposition described above suggests the followingsimple sum of four curves (Rogers et al. 1978):

    M(x) = al exp (-a,x) 'i

    The labor force and the post-labor force components inequation (1) adopt the "double exponential" curve formulatedby Coale and McNeil (1972) for their studies of nuptialitypatterns.

    The "full" model schedule in equation (1 has 1 1 parameters:al, l, 2, p2, a2, h2, a3, p3, a3, h3, and c. The p r o f i l e ofthe full model schedule is defined by 7 of the 1 1 parameters:
