Abstract
This research examined job accessibility and its relationship with interregional residential relocation in the Netherlands. Reason for this is the unclear relationship between job accessibility and interregional residential relocation. One the one hand, it is assumed that a high level of job accessibility within a region would be a motive for people to move towards that region. Part of the Dutch government’s strategy for attracting people towards shrinking regions is based on this assumption. On the other hand, it is suggested that the relationship between interregional residential relocation and job accessibility isn’t as strong as before. As the results of this research indicated that no correlation between job accessibility and interregional residential relocation could be found, it is questionable if the Dutch government’s approach for attracting people towards shrinking regions is effective. However, as this relationship has only been examined for 22 municipalities in the Netherlands and has not taken into account other influences, further research on the relationship between job accessibility and interregional residential relocation is still recommended.
