The innovative migration calculator enables to assess the short and long-term effects of migration on the labor market and of population development. Population projections are static, though updated from time to time. The migration calculator to be developed is a dynamic tool that allows for quickly and easily working through different labor market and migration as well as birth rate scenarios and predict their impact on the change of the working-age population.

The migration calculator is based on a population projection but allows the user to easily and conveniently change birth and migration-related prerequisites. In the model, the following parameters can be changed: total birth rate and migration balance. There are additional options in the menu that will be refined in the course of the work. The output is the future gender and age composition of the population (including working-age population) based on user-selected prerequisites.

Infotechnological Mobility Observatory

The research was conducted using the research infrastructure “Infotechnological Mobility Observatory” funded by the Estonian Research Council (TARISTU24-TK18)

Beneficiary: University of Tartu

Partners: Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn University, Statistics Estonia

Period: 2014 - 2029

Brief description: Growing spatial mobility is one of the important changes in modern society, which is related to the topics of external and internal migration, urbanization, entrepreneurship, inequality and regional development. Up-to-date and high-quality data are needed to study spatial mobility. The goal of IMO is to develop an innovative data infrastructure supporting mobility research, integrating geographically and longitudinally diverse national statistics and innovative IT data sources.
