Pickard, Jerome – Appalachia, 1984
The dramatic slowdown in population growth in Appalachia since 1980 is the result of a sharp change in migration patterns. Both the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan populations increased much more slowly than in the United States as a whole, with metropolitan growth rates lagging farther behind the national rates. (BRR)

Walford, Nigel – Journal of Rural Studies, 2007
Exchanges of population between supposedly "urban" and "rural" spaces have occurred throughout history as people migrate between areas with relatively, densely and sparsely settled populations. However, comparatively little is known about whether the same small areas persistently contribute to the flow and what types of…

Bruce, Michael G. – Phi Delta Kappan, 1981
During the last 30 years unprecedented economic growth and novel patterns of migration in Europe have increased opportunities and simultaneously destroyed established patterns of life and traditional processes of education. (Author)

Cromartie, John – Rural Conditions and Trends, 1996
For 1993-94, data from the Internal Revenue Service indicate that nonmetro areas showed positive net migration for the United States, all regions, and all economic county types, with the greatest gains in the West and in retirement-destination counties. The most rapidly growing counties had the highest rates for both inmigration and outmigration.…

Judson, Dean H.; Reynolds-Scanlon, Sue; Popoff, Carole L. – Rural Development Perspectives, 1999
From 1990 to 1998, net inmigration in Oregon hit unprecedented high levels, leading to policy concerns about needs for infrastructure and services. Different regions of Oregon attracted migrants who differed dramatically in age, educational attainment, occupational status, and income. Migrants who moved for quality-of-life reasons were willing to…

Wilkinson, Kenneth P.; And Others – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1983
Examined data on change in divorce rates in the Old West region where growth is occurring due to energy development. Multiple regression results indicated new immigration had little effect on change in the divorce rate. A more open perspective on social organization and change in rural communities is needed. (Author/JAC)

Rienow, Robert – Humanist, 1981
Analyzes the historical realities behind the myth of America as a haven for refugees and the poor. The author argues that current proposals to control immigration (amnesty, guest workers, border control, repatriation, worker identification) are inadequate in the face of uncontrolled world population growth.

Rath, Ferdinand J. C. M. – International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift fuer Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue Internationale de Pedagogie, 1993
Compares modern population problems with those of previous generations. Examines variations in population problems in different countries and world regions and the ways in which demographic events (e.g., rapid population growth or urbanization) in one region affect other regions. Advocates preparing for demographic changes through education. (DMM)

Mueller, Milan; Rackerby, Deborah – Educational Planning, 1989
The Los Angeles Unified School District contracted with GeoBased Systems to produce an enrollment projection model based on a set of assumptions regarding fertility, mortality, and migration for each of four ethnic groups. This article discusses the data, methodology, and results used by individual schools to project student numbers. (MLH)

Beale, Calvin L. – Rural Development Perspectives, 1985
Examines and explains unexpected population trends since 1970: substantial rural and small-town growth, regional shifts to the South and West, lower birth rates, increased life expectancy, smaller household size, and population growth from immigration. Illustrates how demographic events offer classic examples of the difficulty of predicting human…

Frey, William H. – Urban Studies, 1995
Examines migration dynamics for metropolitan areas that suggest immigration and internal migration processes are leading to a greater demographic balkanization--a spatial segmentation of the population by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status across metropolitan areas. A brief overview of migration at the state level is also provided. (GR)

Pickard, Jerome – Appalachia, 1981
Largely from immigration, Appalachian population grew by over 2,000,000 from 1970 to 1980, a rate of 11.1 percent. Statistical tables give state, local development district, regional and county-group population figures for 13 Appalachian states. A map and bar graphs show rate of population change by county, region and state. (NEC)

Johnson, Kenneth M. – Rural Sociology, 1989
Summarizes population redistribution trends in nonmetropolitan areas between 1980 and 1987. Examines the contribution of net migration and natural increase to rural growth, the change in counties based on their involvement in the 1970s population turnaround, and the impact of variables typically associated with population change. Contains 27…

It looks as if the U.S. might be in for a small but significant (for schools) rise in birth rates. (Author)
