| Description | As demonstrated by the results of several studies, the population does not form a homogeneous unit in terms of migration behaviour. Preferences of individual population groups may differ significantly, manifested by different choices of migration destinations, such as the type of territory or the distance involved. The contribution focuses on analysing and identifying the principal processes and trends of internal migration within the Czech Republic after 1989, emphasising the specifics of migration behaviour of different population groups depending on gender, XXV. mezinárodní kolokvium o regionálních vědáchSborník příspěvků Brno22.–24. 6. 2022438age, education and reasons for moving, and their changes over time. The analysis used an anonymised database of internal migration between municipalities in the Czech Republic from 1991 to 2019. Based on the available data in each year, the population groups were analysed by gender, age, education, and reasons for moving. The primary results of the analysis have demonstrated that the average distance of migrations has decreased, despite a slight increase halfway through the period, and is shorter today than it was in the early 1990s. The results apply to all age groups and both genders, whereas the average distance moved is higher for men throughout the period and in most age groups. The conclusions of other studies have confirmed that the moving distance increases with education and with certain reasons for moving, such as changing the workplace or studies. On the other hand, residential or family reasons are characterised by shorter migration distances. |
