  11. Regionala attribut som påverkar omflyttningen • Befolkningsstorlek (från mindre till större regioner) • Avstånd (minskar med avstånd) • Arbetslöshet (från regioner med högre till regioner med lägre arbetslöshet) • Lediga jobb (från regioner med färre till regioner med fler lediga jobb) • Antal högskoleplatser (ökar med antalet högskoleplatser) • Relativ tillgång på högskoleplatser (från regioner med färre till regioner med fler högskoleplatser)
