Integrated modelling of age and sex patterns of European migration

Integrated modelling of age and sex patterns of European migration
Integrated modelling of age and sex patterns of European migration
Age and sex patterns of migration are essential for understanding drivers of population change and heterogeneity of migrant groups. In this article, we develop a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate such patterns for international migration in the European Union and European Free Trade Association from 2002 to 2008, a period of time when the number of members expanded from 19 to 31 countries. Our model corrects for the inadequacies and inconsistencies in the available data and estimates the missing patterns. The posterior distributions of the age and sex profiles are then combined with a matrix of origin-destination flows, resulting in a synthetic data base with measures of uncertainty for migration flows and other model parameters

Abstract

Age and sex patterns of migration are essential for understanding drivers of population change and heterogeneity of migrant groups. In this article, we develop a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate such patterns for international migration in the European Union and European Free Trade Association from 2002 to 2008, a period of time when the number of members expanded from 19 to 31 countries. Our model corrects for the inadequacies and inconsistencies in the available data and estimates the missing patterns. The posterior distributions of the age and sex profiles are then combined with a matrix of origin-destination flows, resulting in a synthetic data base with measures of uncertainty for migration flows and other model parameters
