Abstract
This study empirically investigates the impacts and temporal changes of health risks and teleworking on migration away from metropolitan areas (LMA migration) during the COVID-19 pandemic using Japanese government survey data and fixed effects logit models. It confirms health-risk-aversion motives in LMA migration, finds teleworking's long-term influence insignificant but impacting formal and self-employed individuals differently, and reveals that the impact of lower infection rates persisted beyond the pandemic but eventually reversed. Policy implications suggest attracting self-employed individuals from metropolitan areas during crises and enhancing teleworking environments long-term.
