The selectivity of rural-urban labour migration: the case of Croatia
Maria Oliveira-Roca
Sažetak
On the basis of an analysis of
field-research data, the
socio-economic characteristics of
rural-urban migrants were
compared wiith the urban and
rural non migrant workers.
Active economic migrants —
inter-urban, inter-rural and
rural-urban migrants — were
compared from the aspect of sex,
age, education, occupation, activity,
income and social status.
The socio-economic structure and
status of rural-urban migrants is in
most cases better than that of the
rural non-migrant, and
worse than that of the
non-migrant urban population.
Among the migrants themselves,
inter-urban migrants have the best
characteristics and social status,
followed by rural-urban migrants,
and the socio-economic structure
of the inter-rural migrants is the
worst. The differences mentioned can
sooner be explained by the
structural inequality of the urban
and rural economies and the
different levels of education of the
rural and urban populations at
the beginning of the most
intensive stage of rural-urban
migration, than by the different
professional mobility dn the
migrant and non-migrant
population.
In recent periods urban inhabitants
have been migrating more than
rural ones. This is partly the result
of the fact that the increasingly
complex economic structure of an
urban region demands a better
occupational structure,
and there iis a higher probability
that such a labour force will be
found in other urban areas. The
demographic reserves of rural
regions are also smaller, because in
spite of the fact that rural-urban
migration the natural population increase
in most of the rural areas is negative.
