It finds internal migration to be generally low and highly concentrated among better-educated, young, and single workers. This suggests that migration is more likely to reinforce existing inequalities than to act as an equalizing phenomenon. By way of contrast, commuting flows have grown over time and are more responsive to regional economic differentials. The findings suggest the need for appropriate and country-tailored policy measures designed to increase the responsiveness of labor flows to market conditions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGADJUSTMENT PROCESSADVERSE EFFECTSAGGLOMERATION EFFECTSAGGREGATE DEMANDAGGREGATE UNEMPLOYMENTAVERAGE UNEMPLOYMENTAVERAGE UNEMPLOYMENT RATEAVERAGE WAGEAVERAGE WAGESCALCULATIONSCONTRIBUTIONSCURRENCYDISSEMINATIONDIVERSIFICATIONDOWNWARD PRESSUREEARNINGSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC COSTSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC LIBERALIZATIONECONOMIC MANAGEMENTECONOMIC RECOVERYECONOMIC SHOCKECONOMIC THEORYECONOMIC TRANSITIONEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT OUTCOMESEMPLOYMENT PROSPECTSEMPLOYMENT STATUSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH CAREHEALTH WORKERSHIGH UNEMPLOYMENTHIGH UNEMPLOYMENT AREAHIGH UNEMPLOYMENT AREASHIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATESHIGH WAGEHIGH WAGESHOMEOWNERSHIPHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALIMPORTANT POLICYINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINFLATIONINSURANCEINTERNAL MIGRANTSINTERNAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENTS IN EDUCATIONJOB CREATIONJOB SEARCHJOBSLABOR COSTSLABOR DEMANDLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET ADJUSTMENTLABOR MARKET FLEXIBILITYLABOR MARKET INDICATORSLABOR MARKET INSTITUTIONSLABOR MARKETSLABOR MIGRATIONLABOR MOBILITYLABOR SUPPLYLABOURLARGE FIRMSLEGAL STATUSLIFELONG LEARNINGLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL LABOR MARKETLOCAL LABOR MARKET CONDITIONSLOCAL LABOR MARKETSLONG-TERM UNEMPLOYMENTLOW UNEMPLOYMENTLOW UNEMPLOYMENT RATESMACROECONOMIC EQUILIBRIUMMARKET ECONOMYMIGRANTMIGRANTSMIGRATION FLOWSMINIMUM WAGEMINIMUM WAGESMINISTRY OF LABOURMONETARY POLICYMORAL HAZARDMORTALITYMOTIVATIONNAIRUNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL UNEMPLOYMENTNATIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATENATIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATESNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL RATE OF UNEMPLOYMENTNEW JOBSOCCUPATIONSOLDER WORKERSPERSISTENT DISPARITIESPERSISTENT UNEMPLOYMENTPLACE OF RESIDENCEPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOPULATION DENSITYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRECEDING DISCUSSIONPRECEDING SECTIONPRICE ADJUSTMENTPRIVATE FIRMSPRIVATE PROVISIONPROBABILITIESPROBABILITYPRODUCTION WORKERPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENTREAL WAGEREAL WAGESREGIONAL INEQUALITIESREGIONAL POLICIESREGIONAL POLICYREGIONAL UNEMPLOYMENTRESPECTSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL COSTSSOCIAL INCLUSIONSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RESEARCHSOCIAL TENSIONSSTRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENTTEMPORARY MIGRATIONTRANSACTIONTRANSPORTATIONUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYED WORKERUNEMPLOYED WORKERSUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSUNEMPLOYMENT INDICATORSUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNSKILLED WORKERSVALUABLEVULNERABLE GROUPSWAGE BARGAININGWAGE BARGAINING SYSTEMSWAGE DIFFERENTIALSWAGE DISTRIBUTIONWAGE FLEXIBILITYWAGE INCREASEWAGE LEVELSWAGE RATESWELFARE BENEFITSWORKERWORKERSWORTHYOUNGER WORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7090-2
