Exploring the drivers of internal labour migration for the regions of Great Britain
The role of internal migration in reducing regional inequalities is a common feature of classical economic theory and urban economics models.If regional migration is important in reducing spatial disparities, then understanding its causes, and barriers, is crucial.This paper explores the drivers of regional migration behaviour in Great Britain.Findings point to rigidities in housing that deter mobility across regions; and regional differences in …

The persistent pay gap between Easterners and Westerners in Germany: A quarter‐century after reunification
A quarter of a century after Germany's reunification, Eastern Germans still earn substantially less than Western Germans. This paper revisits the German wage differential and isolates the effect of differing returns to human capital endowments, the possibility of a location effect, and human capital depreciation on the regional wage gap. While the endowment effect, location effect, and human capital depreciation jointly account for the wage diffe…
Labour market and social integration of Eastern European migrants in Scotland and Portugal
This article investigates the factors influencing the labour market performance and social integration of Eastern European migrants in two regions within Scotland and Portugal. Given the potential links between these outcomes, measures of labour market success and integration into the host community are examined from a multi-dimensional perspective, including by modelling these jointly within a statistical framework. The main findings indicate th…

Integration and Mobility of Eastern European Migrants in Scotland
This paper explores theoretical and practical issues related to employment migration and integration of Eastern European migrants in Scotland. Emerging mobile lifestyles create different patterns of living and working ‘on the move’, which challenge existing social policies. By drawing on theorizations of mobility and integration from economics and geography, we propose a broader conceptualization of integration that recognizes the changing migrat…
Job satisfaction and quit intentions of offshore workers in the UK N orth S ea oil and gas industry
The N orth S ea oil and gas industry currently faces recruitment and retention difficulties because of a shortage of skilled workers. One means of retaining existing employees is to improve workers’ job satisfaction. In this paper, we investigate the determinants of job satisfaction and intentions to quit within this industry sector. We find that individuals in good financial situations, those whose skills are closely related to their job and tho…
Willingness for mobility amongst European fishermen
Regional Earnings Inequality in Great Britain: A Decomposition Analysis
This paper investigates the degree of earnings inequality in Great Britain over the period 1975-96 using individual-based data. It finds that the contribution of within-group inequality to both earnings inequality cross-sectionally and to its trend over time is substantially more important than the contribution of between-group inequality. Thus, the primary source of increasing inequality in the overall earnings distribution is increasing inequal…
