Internal migration in Victoria, 1973

This study is concerned with the patterns and causes of internal migration in Victoria. Fourth form students in government secondary schools in six Victorian towns completed a questionnaire in class and took another home to their parents. Both parents and students were asked to provide information about their residence histories including information on travel, locations of residences, age at moving, reasons for moving and farm/non-farm residence. The residence histories in the parents' questionnaire covered the period from marriage and birth of children to the children's coming of age. An attitude section sought ratings of the desirability of areas of Victoria as places of work and dwelling. Background variables were age, sex and duration of residence of Australia, and in addition for parents, education, marital status and numbers, sex, and age of all children.
