Highlighting the value of the UK 2011 Census, this comprehensive handbook sets the use of its results in the context of census-taking around the world and its historical development and future. The book presents a collection of applications of census data in different social science research contexts that reveal key messages about the characteristics of the British population and the ways in which society is changing. New methods and technologies, such as interactive infographics and web-based mapping, and how these are now being used to visualise census data in new and exciting ways is also covered.

Much contemporary social and migration theory posits that the world is becoming more mobile, leading to the recent `mobilities turn¿ within the social sciences. Yet, there is mounting evidence to suggest that this may not be true of all types of mobility, nor apply equally to all geographical contexts.

Much contemporary social and migration theory posits that the world is becoming more mobile, leading to the recent `mobilities turn¿ within the social sciences. Yet, there is mounting evidence to suggest that this may not be true of all types of mobility, nor apply equally to all geographical contexts. Drawing on detailed empirical literature, this book examines the long-term trends in internal migration in more advanced countries and presents a critical assessment of the extent to which global structural forces, as opposed to national context, influence internal migration in the Global North. It will appeal to those working in Geography, Migration Studies, Population Studies and Development Studies.
