Classification of andalusian municipalities from their recent net migration rates: a proposal
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the context of the economic recovery after the 2007/2008 crisis, the aim of this paper is to offer a classification of the Andalusian municipalities based on their migratory balances corresponding to the 2014/2019 period. To achieve this goal, we have used the Residential Variations Statistic, calculating from it a total of 7 migratory balances - total, three referred to the age of the migrants, and another three referred to the origin / destination of migration). Data has been analyzed using firstly a factorial analysis, and secondly a cluster analysis, and a total of 8 clusters has been obtained. Adding the sign of net migration rate the number of categories rises to 16, whose spatial distribution is still showing a dichotomy between an emigrant interior and an immigrant coastline; however, the analysis of the clusters, based on the components that underlie them, makes it possible to identify groups characterized by residential migration, others by a labour one, and others by the migratory balances of people aged over 64 years, among others.
