Based on the Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Survey (TIPS) and other official statistics, this investigation explores factors affecting the migration of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples, with a particular emphasis on the effects of location-specific factors and individual life course. The primary findings are as follows. First, attributes of residential location affect lifetime migration patterns more than short-term migration patterns. Second, destination attributes are more crucial in accounting for the decision to migrate than attributes associated with birthplace and hometown. Third, individual factors, particularly work status and experience, have greater effects on short-term migration than on lifetime migration. Fourth, in terms of migration flows, both lifetime and short-term indigenous migrants generally move to places that are not traditional residential locations for indigenous peoples; Taipei and Taoyuan counties are the principal destinations for indigenous migrants. Fifth, when the effects of location-specific capital and other spatial factors are controlled, individual attributes, work status, migration budget, and ethnic networks explain indigenous migration patterns. |
