John Stillwell and Oliver Duke-WilliamsSchool of Geography, University of Leeds
Presentation at the British Society for Population Studies Annual Conference at the University of Kent at Canterbury,
12-14 September 2005
Several big questionsSeveral big questions• What differences are there in levels of spatial
concentration of different ethnic groups?• Are minority ethnic groups becoming more or
less geographically concentrated/segregated?• What are the spatial patterns of immigration? • Is immigration fuelling processes of ethnic
concentration?• What are the patterns of internal migration of
minority ethnic groups? • Is there any relationship between non-white
immigration and white internal migration?• What evidence is there about linkage from the
results of the 2001 Census?
PresentationPresentation
• Previous work – synopsis of context
• 2001 Census population and migration data – aggregate statistics
• Spatial patterns – ethnic distribution, immigration and internal migration
• Linkage – three questions
• Conclusions
Previous academic work: LiteraturePrevious academic work: Literature
• Lots of it, both theoretical and empirical!
• Ethnic distribution: Peach (1996), Haskey (1996), Ratcliffe (1996), Phillips (1996), Peloe and Rees (1999), Johnston et al. (2003), Simpson (2004), Lupton and Power (2004)……. all on UK alone
• Immigration: Robinson (1992), Salt (1996), Musterd et al. (1998), nice overview of theory in Gorte et al. (1998) and plenty on policy no doubt
• Internal migration: Champion (various), Fielding (various), Stillwell (various), Rees (various), ….. and lots of others
What about studies of linkage?What about studies of linkage?• Not so many!
• A new paradigm for migration research might “best be achieved through intensive examination of how internal and international migrations are linked” (Skeldon, 1995)
• A few studies in Europe e.g. Korcelli (1994) on Poland; Stillwell et al. (1999) for EUROSTAT; Peach (1999) comparing New York and London
• Most evidence comes from USA: Butcher and Card (1991), Walker et al. (1992) White and Hunter (1993), Filer (1992), White and Liang (1994), Frey (1995, 1996), Wright et al. (1997), Ellis and Wright (1998), Frey and Liaw (1998), Peach (1999), Sassen (1991, 1994) …and others in last 5 years no doubt
Linkage in the USALinkage in the USA
• ‘Demographic balkanisation’ across broad regions is a “spatial segmentation of population by race-ethnicity, class, and age across broad regions, states, and metropolitan areas… driven by both immigration and long distance internal migration patterns” (Frey, 1996: 760)
• Ellis and Wright (1998) condemn Frey on racial grounds indicating that he is helping to “sustain an anti-immigrant, pro-Anglo-conformist agenda that many immigrants perceive as hostile to their language and culture” (Ellis and Wright, 1998: 694)
‘‘Push’ and ‘Pull’Push’ and ‘Pull’
• These studies and more recent empirical work has led to the theoretical debate between:
- those who believe that immigration is fuelling ‘white flight’ (Frey’s ‘push’ hypothesis) and
- those who believe that counterurbanisation is happening anyway and this is creating ‘vacancies/opportunities’ in cities that are filled by immigrants (Ellis and Wright’s ‘pull’ hypothesis)

Linkage?Linkage?
• Is immigration of different minority ethnic groups contributing to the process of their residential concentration?
• Are internal migration flows of minority ethnic groups associated with the accentuation of ethnic concentration or do they suggest processes of deconcentration?
• Is there any evidence to suggest a relationship between non-white immigration and white internal migration?

ConclusionsConclusions• Clear evidence of geographical patterns of ethnic
concentration, immigration and internal migration at this spatial scale but clear evidence of linkage less compelling
• Some evidence to suggest that non-white immigration streams are reinforcing ethnic concentrations in metropolitan areas ….. but ethnic communities growing through natural increase
• Inclusion of students in the data sets is problematic because of different motivations that govern migration
• Some evidence of relationship between non-white immigration and white net migration for London boroughs and metropolitan areas but cant say that ‘non-white immigration is driving white out-migration’
• More work needed to look in detail at patterns and relationships for particular cities
