The focus is on the consequences of rural-urban movement.  "According to the results of [the] analysis, the demographic consequences of migration are...significant for rural areas, especially the ones showing large and long-term population outflow.  The consequences of this stream of migration are not significant for the population situation on a nation-wide scale."
