Age structure
These migrants were typically 25-29 years old, and those aged 20-34 made up nearly half of all migrants throughout Öresund. The age distribution has not changed substantially since 2001 either. A minor shift towards relatively more small children under age 5 and somewhat more 30-34 year olds has occurred.
There are as many children (ages 0-9) among those moving from Zealand to Skåne as there are among those who move within Zealand, but there are fewer younger children (ages 10-25). Migrants from Öresund DK to Öresund SE are consistently overrepresented by the ages of 25-40.
Of the total 32 000 moves from the greater Copenhagen area to Öresund SE and to other parts of Öresund DK, every tenth such move is to Skåne. A comparison of the relative age distribution between migrants to other parts of Öresund DK indicates that there are relatively many families with small children moving to Öresund SE. When comparing the age profile among migrants from Öresund DK to Öresund SE with those persons moving in the opposite direction, it is clear that the age distribution is roughly the same.
