Abstract
This paper applies a nested logit model to the 1981 census micro data to study the joint effects of personal factors (sex, mother tongue, nativity, education, and marital status) and ecological variables on the 1976–1981 interprovincial migration pattern of young adults in Canada. In multivariate contexts, personal factors not only are of paramount importance in explaining the departure process but also have significant interactions with ecological variables in determining the destination choice pattern.

The results suggest the predominance of the push factor for interprovincial migration for most provinces, although net migration to the Atlantic provinces is also shown to be subject to pull forces from the rest of the country.

Application to interprovincial migration data over a 22-year period shows that, in Canada, migration does not appear to serve well as an equalizer of economic opportunities.

The details are given of a choice model, established by McFadden, which can be used in conjunction with migratory dynamics thus providing an explicit link between the macroproperties of the population system and human behaviour.

Individual probabilistic choice models are developed for the decision to migrate and the choice among alternative destinations to investigate how characteristics of decision makers and of alternative destinations affect choice.

The focus on elderly Canadians stems from the expectation that the Canadian population will continue to age rapidly over the next three decades and that the elderly's demand for services will expand rapidly as a consequence.

The estimation method provides subroutines for carrying out the estimation through a program in the BMDP package and uses an empirical example to show how the parameters are to be estimated and interpreted.

The findings include that retirement-oriented migration in Canada takes place long before the official retirement age, and compared with the young migrants, the elderly migrants are less likely to be metropolitanward and tend to have a more concentrated destination choice pattern.

Results suggest that the labor market experience of migrant wives, at least in the short term, is difficult and there is an indication that wives in families with young children have the least chance of being employed after migration.

This paper contains an analysis of the 1971–1976 out-migration pattern of Canadian elderly females from the 23 Census Metropolitan Areas and finds environmental variables are more important than the housing variables in determining the destination choice pattern of the elderly migrants.

The results suggest that the overall decline observed in the elderly's departure rates is the consequence of changing to circumstances in the province of origin rather than to circumstance in the potential destinations.
