Title
Déterminants de la migration résidentielle de la ville centre vers la banlieue dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal : Clivage linguistique et fuite des francophones
Abstract
The authors set out to gain a greater understanding of residential migration within the metropolitan region of Montreal by examining what factors determine flows between the central city and the suburbs. Using a life-cycle perspective, a logistic regression model was developed. Their results call attention to the critical factors that shape migration patterns from the central city to the suburbs: living in a two-person household, with or without children; being 20 to 39 years of age; speaking French at home; being employed; and not being poor. The results also showed that belonging to a visible minority is not a significant factor in favour of migrating to the suburbs. However, since studies have found that the odds of Francophones leaving Montreal for the suburbs are much greater than for Anglophones or Allophones, even after controlling for the other characteristics, the authors conclude that residential mobility seems to be associated with spatial segregation based on language, rather than membership in an ethnic group. If 'White flight' does not really exist in Montreal, a similar phenomenon with respect to Francophones is taking place which could be labelled 'French flight.'
