  We quantify the inside-out growth of the Milky Way's low-alpha stellar disk,
modelling the ages, metallicities and Galactocentric radii of APOGEE red clump
stars with 6 < R < 13 kpc. The current stellar distribution differs
significantly from that expected from the star formation history due to the
redistribution of stars through radial orbit mixing. We propose and fit a
global model for the Milky Way disk, specified by an inside-out star formation
history, radial orbit mixing, and an empirical, parametric model for its
chemical evolution. We account for the spatially complex survey selection
function, and find that the model fits all data well. We find distinct
inside-out growth of the Milky Way disk; the best fit model implies that the
half-mass radius of the Milky Way disk has grown by 43\% over the last 7 Gyr.
Yet, such inside-out growth still results in present-day age gradient weaker
than 0.1 Gyr/kpc. Our model predicts the half-mass and half-light sizes of the
Galactic disk at earlier epochs, which can be compared to the observed redshift
-size relations of disk galaxies. We show that radial orbit migration can
reconcile the distinct disk-size evolution with redshift, also expected from
cosmological simulations, with the modest present-day age gradients seen in the
Milky Way and other galaxies.
