[[The relationship between socioeconomic development clusters and migration in Taiwan (1979-1988)]].

Abstract

"The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between socio-economic development and migration among different counties in Taiwan. Based on data of 1979 and 1988 this study examines the hypothesis that socio-economic development had an impact on migration. Using the method of cluster analysis, we identified six clusters of socio-economic development of counties in 1979 and in 1988.... The examination...indicates that the higher the socio-economic development level, the higher the in-migration rate. In addition, the larger the difference between socio-economic clusters, the bigger the migration stream." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
