John Innes Clarke OBE, 7 January 1929–3 May 2018
John wrote the first English language book devoted exclusively to Population Geography (1965), setting the agenda for a generation with a focus on “how distribution, composition, migrations and growth of populations are related to spatial variations in the nature of places.” It sold over 100,000 copies and was translated into Arabic, Malay, Orissa and Spanish. His later papers developed themes of scale, population growth, sex ratio, migration and…

Re-thinking residential mobility
While researchers are increasingly re-conceptualizing international migration, far less attention has been devoted to re-thinking short-distance residential mobility and immobility. In this paper we harness the life course approach to propose a new conceptual framework for residential mobility research. We contend that residential mobility and immobility should be re-conceptualized as relational practices that link lives through time and space wh…
Does Migration Make You Happy? A Longitudinal Study of Internal Migration and Subjective Well-Being
The majority of quantitative studies on the consequences of internal migration focus almost exclusively on the labour-market outcomes and the material well-being of migrants. We investigate whether individuals who migrate within the UK become happier after the move than they were before, and whether the effect is permanent or transient. Using life-satisfaction responses from twelve waves of the British Household Panel Survey and employing a fixed…
Migrant destinations in an era of environmental change
World class? An investigation of globalisation, difference and international student mobility
This paper explores the motivations and meanings of international student mobility. Central to the discussion are the results of a large questionnaire survey and associated in‐depth interviews with UK students enrolled in universities in six countries from around the world. The results suggest, first, that several different dimensions of social and cultural capital are accrued through study abroad. It is argued that the search for ‘world class’ e…
An Assessment of Supply and Demand-side Theorizations of International Student Mobility
As a group of mobile people, international students have been under-studied. This is despite their numerical importance. This paper examines the changing characteristics of international student mobility, differentiating between social demand theories that seek explanation in terms of the power of social and cultural capital in driving middle class families to seek to get their children into the best western universities, and supply-side theories…
The Importance of Census and Other Secondary Data in Development Studies
In what sense English? an exploration of English migrant identities and identification
The empirical focus of this article is an analysis of the self‐identities of English‐born persons living in urban Scotland. The material is theorised relative to the debate between modernist conceptions of identity and post‐structuralist notions of identification. The researchers construct a fourfold typology of ‘English’ migrants that helps to problematise the nature and diverse meanings of ‘Englishness’. The search to understand why many Englis…
The Structuring of Service-class Migration
The paper explores the mobility implications of internationalisation and commercialisation of the service class. Theorisation of the survey points to five main issues: first, the role of migration of service workers as part of a network of flows linking the core of the state with regional economies; secondly, the disproportionate concentration of service-class migration in one particular city within a regional economy; thirdly, the inadequacy of …
Questions de géographie de population dans les pays arides
Population Policy Issues in Arid Lands Population policy makers in arid lands do so in an atmosphere of considerable uncertainty. It is not only difficult to obtain reliable statistics on issues such as desertification and population growth, but it is also problematic to know how best to model the complex interactions which link the environmental and demographic regimes of arid lands. A case study from the Badia region of Jordan is used to illust…
A Migration Channels Approach to the Study of Professionals Moving to and from Hong Kong
A Migration Channels Approach to the Study of Professionals Moving to and from Hong Kong
This article evaluates the concept of migration channels, identifying the strengths and weaknesses that have emerged from use of a migration channels framework in international migration research. Using professional migration to and from Hong Kong in the 1990s as an empirical lens, it is argued that the meso-scale understanding offered by examining the effect of migration channels is valuable. This is illustrated in terms of the contrasting chann…
Migration transition or migration transformation in the Asian dragon economies
There has been a marked tendency to interpret the recent transformation of international migration systems in Eastern Asia in terms of a 'migration transition' model. The transition in these countries from net emigration to net immigration, with major inflows from poorer adjacent countries, is seen as being driven by an intricate regional pattern of uneven development but growing economic integration. This paper challenges this view through an ex…

Population geography
This is one in a series of reports on research trends in population geography. The author suggests that recent political changes concerning the breakup of the former Soviet Union and a possible decline in concern among developed countries about the problems of developing ones should affect the research agenda. Particular attention is given to studies done on differential mortality and internal migration in developed countries
Population geography
The author reviews recent changes in population research from a geographical perspective. "The deaths in 1990 of two of France's most distinguished demographers, Alfred Sauvy (1899-1990) and Jean Bourgeois-Pichat (1912-90)...seem an appropriate starting point from which to review progress in population research in the early 1990s....Relative to the lifespans and works of Bourgeois-Pichat and Sauvy, it is possible to discern progress in population…
Population geography
The author reviews current trends in the study of population geography and identifies a movement of the subdiscipline during the 1980s toward a possible redefinition as spatial demography. He then outlines the main research topics pursued by population geographers during this period. The geographical scope is worldwide
The challenge facing population geography
The current status of the study of population geography is examined, with some reference to the situation in the United Kingdom. The authors note that whereas the volume of studies in this area indicate its healthy growth, the subdiscipline has become increasingly distant from mainstream geography and runs the risk of being absorbed into general demography. The authors suggest that "population geographers, while taking a serious interest in the m…
Scottish Emigration in the 1980s
British emigration is now dominated by skilled transient movements rather than traditional settler emigration movements. This switch requires new frameworks for migration analysis. A migration channels approach is advocated with attention focused on the roles of the internal labour markets of multi-national companies, international recruitment agencies and international skill transfers by small- and intermediate-sized companies in moulding contem…
