Gross migrationとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The population of a sovereign country (305-3) may be involved in internal migration ¹ when both place of departure (801-4) and place of destination (801-5) are within the country, or in international migration ² which occurs across national boundaries. The term external migration ³ is sometimes encountered in the latter sense. International migration is called immigration ⁴ or emigration ⁵ according to whether the country in question is the country of destination or the country of origin. When the country is divided into sub-areas, movement within the boundaries of each sub-area are local moves ⁶ and constitute residential mobility ⁶, while movement between sub-areas is called in-migration ⁷ or out-migration ⁸ depending on whether the sub-area considered is the place of destination or the place of origin for the migrants. A migration stream ⁹ is a group of migrants having a common origin and destination. The larger stream between two sub-areas is called the dominant stream ¹⁰ and the smaller the counterstream ¹¹.
