Abstract
Migration of population can be classified into "individual migration" and "group migration". So far, the study of migration of population has been focussed mainly on the individual migration. Compared with the aspects of individual migration, therefore, those of family or household migration, a typical type of group migration, have scarcely been disclosed. This paper aims to introduce some aspects of household migration, which can make a step for grasping the aspects of family migration, in this country, basing the data derived mainly from 1980 Population Census and 1978 and 1983 Housing Surveys. As the results, the following main aspects of the household migration in this country were drawn; (1) Residential mobility of the ordinary households is higher than that of population, or individual persons. (2) The smaller in size of the household, the greater in the residential mobility. (3) Overall residential mobility of the households has been declining in recent years. (4) Nearly half of the migrated households in this country moved due to the reason of "housing".
