Abstract

This study aimed to examine the age pattern of Thai elderly internal migration. Classification was of demographic characteristics of the migrants, distance, and the different areas of the country in order to study the direction of migration, including net migration rate for each area of the study. Using 1 percent of the population and housing census, the year 2000. The unit of analysis was migrants aged 60 years and over 108,143 people by the weighted information (weights) measures for demographic analysis, migration rates, and the percentage of the number of migrants. The results showed that the rate of internal migration of the elderly does not change much in each age group. The migration rate is low. Elderly males have higher migration rates than females in all age groups. Elderly married and divorced have a migration rate significantly lower than those of other marital statuses. Elderly migration within the province tends to increase with age, and the rate of between region migrations tends to decrease with age. Migration flows from rural to rural areas. Townships have a net in migration rate that is higher than rural areas in all age groups. Migration flows between Bangkok and the Central region, between the rates of net out-migration to the region, which is more common among the group of 60 - 69 year olds. The Northern, Northeastern and Southern patterns of migration do not differ much. In addition, the migration does not change much in each age group. The results show many similarities to the pattern of migration of the elderly in developing countries, which have not entered the aging society. Those are social and cultural similarities, consistent with the concept of Zelinsky's Mobility Transition Model, and The Life - Course Model differs from the concept because of the differences in economic conditions and social environment.
