Diversification of the Directions of Population Outflow from Agriculture in Western Pomerania in 1928–1929

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the diversity of directions of emigration from agriculture in Western Pomerania in the late 1920s. The source basis was a unique survey conducted by the West Pomeranian Chamber of Agriculture. It provided information on approximately 16 000 people participating in the escape from the countryside (Landflucht). The results of these studies have become of interest to the International Labor Office in Geneva and the International Institute of Agriculture in Rome. With the help of the Wrocław and cartographic taxonomy method, the author of the article set himself the goal of verifying the findings of Werner Jacobi. He considered the studied phenomenon at the level of land counties (Landkreise). He presented the factors shaping the clusters and spatial nature of the structures of directions of emigration, also indicating the similarities and differences in the development of the phenomenon within the regions of the Pomeranian province (Jacobi’s research unit in the whole region).
