title: Analysis of gross migration profiles in England and Wales:  some developments in classification.
abstract: "In this paper [the authors] describe the development and application of two approaches to the analysis of age and sex specific interarea migration.  The data relate to local authority areas in England and Wales.  These approaches are developments of established migration profile-fitting and cluster analytic methods.  The paper shows how these methods have been used to develop complementary classifications from which potentially valuable criteria for migration analysis can emerge.  The work described is part of a wider project concerned with the development of methods to improve the official estimation of internal migration in England in the context of local area population forecasting."
