Context (1)
• Britain’s smaller urban centres and rural areas have grown in 1980s and 1990s as white-British have moved away from major metropolitan centres
• Counterurbanisation has continued
Context (2)
• In contrast , distributions of ethnic minority groups, particularly non-whites, have become increasingly concentrated in London and certain provincial cities
Context (3)
• Immigration also has an urban orientation though more so for non-whites than whites
Context (4)
• As non-white populations in metropolitan Britain have increased in size through natural change and immigration, there is a contention that ethnic communities are becoming increasingly spatially concentrated and levels of segregation are rising
• Phenomenon akin to what Bill Frey calls ‘balkanisation’ in USA
• Fundamental to understand the population redistribution brought about by internal ‘ethno-migration’ - the focus of our research
Objectives (1)
• To outline the ethnic composition of internal migration in GB at national, district and ward scales, 2000-01
• To identify patterns of internal ethno-migration vis a vis spatial distribution of ethnic populations and immigration at LAD scale, 2000-01
• To quantify spatial connectivity through ethno-migration, spatial variations in gross and net migration rates, and migration effectiveness at LAD scale, 2000-01
Objectives (2)
• To carry out detailed analysis of patterns of ethno-migration from London boroughs and wards, looking in particular at characteristics of origins and destinations, 2000-01
• To do the same at ward level for selected set of provincial cities with large concentrations of ethnic minorities, 2000-01
• To estimate what changes in composition and pattern of ethno-migration have occurred in Britain between 1990-91 and 2000-01
Main Data Sources
2001 Census Key Statistics and Special Migration Statistics (SMS) for analysis at all selected spatial scales
2001 Census Samples of Anonymised Records (SAR) for national and regional analysis

C0711: Origin-destination flows at district scale by ethnic group (7 groups) and age group (0-15, 16-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-44, 45-59, 60+)
• Also includes flows in from 50 other regions of the world (but not age disaggregated)
C0723(a): Flows by origin (region) and destination (ward) by ethnic group (7 groups) and age (7 groups)
C0723(b): Flows by origin (ward) and destination (region) by ethnic group (7 groups) and age (7 groups)

District level
• May want to use this classification of local authority districts for presenting aggregate flows

Need to disentangle some of these patterns!
Conclusions• Want to say something about ‘linkage’, i.e.
- Are minority ethnic groups becoming more or less geographically concentrated/segregated through internal migration?- Is immigration fuelling processes of ethnic concentration?- Is there any relationship between non-white immigration and white internal migration?
• Want to say something about ‘relative conditions’, i.e.- To what extent is spatial mobility of ethnic migration
linked to social mobility?- What are the differences in the levels of deprivation/affluence between the migrants’ areas of origin and destination?
