title: [Internal migration and regional economic differentials in postwar Japan].
abstract: The author considers the impact of economic growth on regional differences in internal migration in Japan since World War II. "During the rapid economic growth period from the latter half of the 1950s to an early part of the 1970s, the number of migrants to metropolitan areas from other areas increased continuously.  During the slow economic growth period from an early part of the 1970s to the present, however, the volume of internal migration has been decreasing mainly because of the decline in the number of in-migrants to metropolitan areas."
