The structure and dynamics of migration patterns in 19th-century northern France

Résumé

Spatial and relational patterns of intensive rural-urban migration are a major concern for social sciences. We reconstitute migration areas and explain their path-dependent changes through an innovative and easily replicable research strategy. Focusing on 19th-century fast urbanizing Northern France, we analyze the long-neglected, but non-random patterns of movements between villages, and explain the peculiarly slow pace of French rural out-migration. Complementing standard models used in economic geography, techniques inspired by network analysis allow to identifying the enduring channels of preferential migration between villages, and the impact of changing socio-economic opportunities. Socially differential possibilities to migrate, and interactions between marriage- and work-related movements, produce multivariate models of migration fields transformations.
