title: Service class migration in England and Wales, 1980-81: identifying gender-specific mobility patterns.
abstract: "Gendered patterns of service class migration were observed between the metropolitan counties and regional remainders within England and Wales using 1981 Census data.  Observed flows were analysed in terms of the north-south migration divide and counterurbanization, and were compared to estimates derived from gravity models.  More service class men than expected moved from metropolitan to non-metropolitan areas and between non-metropolitan areas.  Women were less likely to move into non-metropolitan areas and were especially attracted to metropolitan destinations, notably London.  These women were also more mobile within the South than service class men.  It is suggested that these contrasting patterns reflect the differential geography of women's employment."
