A Study on Effect of Life stages on Migration and Regional Policy

This paper concerns with analysis on effect of the life stages on migration of population. To focus on the life stages, we applied the Census statistics of migration in 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000, which provide changes of migration of population in all prefectures, and urban migration in terms of school entries and enter employments. Additionally, we have found the most migratory age groups from urban areas to regional areas are 25 to 29-year-old generation and 60 to 64-year-old generation. The direction of the regional policy is also considered.
