| Abstract |
This study analyzes population movement patterns and the factors influencing migration across different age groups using spatial
autocorrelation and spatial regression analysis. It focuses on age groups ranging from 20s to over 75, excluding Sejong City due to its
unique socio-demographic characteristics. The findings show that people in their 20s and 30s tend to migrate to larger cities and the capital
region, while those aged 40 and older are more likely to reside outside central Seoul and in certain metropolitan counties. Individuals aged
65 and older are clustered in areas near Seoul and the capital region. The research also highlights that urban economic conditions, housing
availability, and the living environment significantly impact population movement. Economic opportunities and job quality are crucial for
younger and middle-aged groups, while the living environment plays a larger role for older populations. Variations in housing types and sizes
across age groups suggest a need for policy adjustments to address these differences. These findings provide valuable insights for regional
development and policy-making, particularly in population management. |
