Distance, economic disparities and housing market conditions are considered key moderators of internal migration. Existing research has used panels and surveys to establish the drivers of and barriers to domestic moves. This research employs administrative data on all Slovak internal migrants in 1997–2022 (2.38 million moves). The individual migrant data are associated with regional characteristics such as wages, unemployment rates, business activity, housing construction, the ethnic composition of the population, and connections to trans‐European transport network (TEN‐T) motorway networks. Zero‐inflated (ZI) regression models help to identify the key moderators of internal moves through reported migration motives and major structural barriers to migration. Gravity models distinguish between long‐distance moves motivated by human capital considerations and short‐distance moves informed by housing and family motives. Motives related to housing, following family, marriage, divorcee and health accounted for 75.4% of the total moves in the 1997–2022 period. Migration distance, followed by education, population mass and housing, proved to be key moderators of internal moves.

空间之间：揭示内部迁移的动机和距离


距离、经济差异和住房市场状况被认为是国内移民的关键调节因素。现有研究利用专题小组和调查来确定国内流动的驱动因素和障碍。本研究采用了 1997 年至 2022 年所有斯洛伐克境内移民的行政数据（238 万流动人口）。个人移民数据与地区特征相关，例如工资、失业率、商业活动、住房建设、人口的种族构成以及与跨欧洲运输网络（TEN-T）高速公路网络的连接。零膨胀（ZI）回归模型有助于通过报告的移民动机和主要的结构性移民障碍来识别内部流动的关键调节因素。引力模型区分了由人力资本考虑引起的长途搬迁和由住房和家庭动机引起的短途搬迁。 1997年至2022年期间，与住房、家庭、婚姻、离婚和健康相关的动机占搬迁总数的75.4%。事实证明，移民距离、其次是教育、人口数量和住房是内部流动的关键调节因素。
