Urbanisation & counterurbanisation Operational definitions Urbanisation “a movement from a
state of less concentration to a state of more concentration” (Tisdale 1942)
Counterurbanisation “a movement from a state of more concentration to a state of less concentration” (Berry 1976)

The migratory profile of Cornwall Cornwall’s population increase over
the last 20 years is solely attributable to migration
Increases by net migration is far higher than the UK average and higher than the South west region

The economic profile of Cornwall Cornwall’s unemployment rates are
far higher than the South west region and higher than the UK
Earnings in Cornwall are lower than the South west region and 22.8% lower than the UK

Why has Cornwall remained poor? Structural disadvantages Geographically peripheral without a
large urban hub Dependence on declining industries –
fishing & agriculture Only seasonal benefits from tourism
![Page 10: Migration and the Economy in Cornwall](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56815d38550346895dcb399d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why has Cornwall remained poor? Population-led economic growth
initiatives showed early signs of success
Economic factors, branch closures and relocations
Many former in-migrants now unemployed stayed behind
![Page 11: Migration and the Economy in Cornwall](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56815d38550346895dcb399d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why has Cornwall remained poor? Particular type of in-migration Many moving for quality of life motives
rather than economic improvement In-migrants more likely to leave the
labour market than non-migrants Economic benefit of migration may be
dependent on the migratory strategies

Urbanisation - Conclusions
Urbanisation of young internal migrants
Housing constraints as the most likely explanations
‘Pull’ of greater affordability and availability of accommodation in urban areas
