MULTILEVEL RESEARCH OF MIGRATION WITH A FOCUS ON INTERNAL MIGRATION

Abstract

In migration research, multidisciplinary approaches are often applied, drawing on knowledge from existing theories, which implies the need for robust statistical reporting. It is not always easy to define who a migrant is, and studies exploring migration can be categorized according to many criteria. Contemporary literature contains a wide range of studies dealing with migration, its determinants, and its impacts on the economy. However, there are relatively few studies focusing primarily on regional (i.e., internal) migration compared to the number of studies analyzing international migration. The goal of this study is to highlight problems in migration reporting and to propose a strategy for analyzing migration based on multilevel research, making this approach applicable to internal migration.
