With the slowing of global population growth, migration, both internal and international, is arguably the pre-eminent demographic process driving population change in many cities and regions around the globe. Recent years have seen significant advances in data availability, and hence, understanding of the geography of internal migration including cross-national variations in intensity and spatial impact. Understanding of subnational patterns and drivers of international migration is less developed, particularly outside the global north. There is also limited understanding of the functional linkages between internal and international moves. Recent improvements in data availability present new opportunities. This paper explores the sub-national patterns of internal and international migration, in tandem, for 7 countries in Asia, drawing on data from IPUMs. A multilevel modelling framework is used to explore variations in the relative patterns of internal and international migration. Explanation is sought with reference to the processes of substitution and complementarity of internal and international migration and how these vary according to levels of human development.
