To identify who is moving out of provinces based on demographic, industrial, occupational and employment characteristics for each province, we estimate the net migration rate \footnote{net migration rate is the difference between in-migration and out-migration, divided by total population}. In our analysis, we divide the Canadian regions into three parts: Eastern or Atlantic region (Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), Central region (Quebec and Ontario), and Western region (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia).
Demographic characteristics are analyzed based on age groups, educational groups, gender, Canadian background, and immigration status. Table \ref{netmigrationall} in the …show more content…
Table \ref{netmigrationall} in the appendix estimate net migration rates for each province of Canada. Based on labor force status, the net migration rate for unemployed individuals is highest in Prince Edward Island and for employed individuals net migration rate is highest in Alberta. The net migration rate also positive for Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia among the employed individuals. Importantly, net migration rate is also higher in Alberta for individuals who are not in labor …show more content…
From all other provinces in Canada the average out-migrants towards western region is 52.65\%. Among the provinces of Eastern and Central regions, the individuals from Ontario is the first and Newfoundland and Labrador is in the second position moving towards western region. However, the residents of Quebec least likely choose the western region as their destination province and there are only 17.11\% of the out-migrants of Quebec moving to the Western region. However, out-migrants of Quebec prefer to move to Ontario as their destination province and there are 77.94\% of the out-migrants from Central Canada are moving to Ontario as their destination province. The shared border concept is very strong in the western and central regions of Canada. On an average, there are about 82\% of the out-migrants from the western regions keep themselves within western part. This picture reveals the disparity of economic and social atmospheres across provinces in Canada. It is very interesting to see that the out-migrants from the Eastern part of Canada are more or less equally distributed in Central and Western part of
