title: [Geographic mobility].
abstract: "Each year about 180,000 Norwegians move from one local government area to another.  Further, a relatively large proportion of the workforce consists of commuters.  Recent developments in the labour market have given the question of geographical mobility a new relevance.  After definition of the relevant terms, migration and commuting streams of recent years are described; some causes and effects of geographic mobility are discussed."
