ABSTRACT:
The article is dedicated to analyzing the phenomenon and features of internal migration in the Visegrad group countries. This was done according to such parameters as: “regions – capital” migration, “region – region” and “village – city” migration, “poor regions – rich regions” migration. In addition, the author identified the factors and motives of internal migration in the countries of the region. In this regard, it was established that suburbanization as the growth and development of the suburban area of large cities, due to which urban agglomerations are formed, is a common characteristic of the countries of the Visegrad group. In addition, migration processes from poorer to richer regions and settlements can be traced in the countries of the region. It was also found that in terms of GDP per capita and migration balance in the regions of each of the Visegrad group countries, high GDP per capita is typical for regions with a positive migration balance, and low GDP per capita for regions with a negative migration balance.
