Abstract

"Discussions of inter-regional migration often focus on what might be called South-to-North flows, such as Mexico to the U.S. In this note I use North in a different sense, meaning Far North--the northern rim of the Atlantic (North Atlantic Arc) and the north circumpolar lands. Over the past 14 years, my colleagues and I have studied migration flows out of this North. Such flows occur within some highly developed countries, including Canada, the U.S. and Norway, but like low latitude flows they move from less-developed to more-developed places."
