ABSTRACT
The investigation of internal mobility of immigrants remains a low priority among students of migration. The theoretical divide between international and internal migration is known, the volume of internal migration is unquestionably larger than that of the international movements. This chapter focuses on International Migration in Turkey. Turkey's population grew from 67,803,927 in 2000 to 73,722,988 in 2010. The population growth rate has declined for two decades, but Turkey remains one of the 20 most populous countries in the world and the third largest in Europe. The socio-economic development of the province where the individual was a resident five years prior to the Census has an impact on mobility. The chapter explores and reveals the characteristics of immigrants and their internal mobility in Turkey with the help of 2000 Census data. Data are incomplete and the Census only reports the difference between the place of residence on the day of the census and five years prior to the Census day.
