- The chapter examines multi-site migration age-sex profiles in the INDEPTH network. Certain age groups, like primary school children, show very low levels of migration, while young adults in their prime are the most likely to be migrants. The regularity of age-patterns of migration has been long observed and model migration schedules have been developed since the 1980s. The age patterns presented in the data had excesses or deficits of migration in particular age groups in particular settings, but the pattern was uniform enough to be modelled. The age-sex profile is a compact summary of how migration is actually experienced, a measure of who is most likely to move at what point in their lives and whether and how this differs by gender. The age-sex profiles of migration reveal how the intensity of migration bears upon certain age groups more than others, notably young adults, but there is a diversity of levels presented across the different sites.
