"This paper presents an explicit
derivation of effects of age misstatement on census survival rates
(CSR) and life table survival rate (LTSR) estimates of net migration
and net migration rates. In the presence of age misstatement, CSR
estimates of migration and migration rates are generally biased,
although the direction of bias is not always clear. The paper also
shows how the analysis of errors due to age misstatement is related to
past analyses of errors due to underenumeration."

Migration
patterns in Burkina Faso, contributing factors, and migrant
characteristics are examined. Data are from published literature for
the years 1969-1973. Net emigration from Burkina Faso, primarily to
the Ivory Coast and Ghana, is shown to be the predominant trend. The
migrant population consists largely of men aged 15-30 from the rural
Mossi regions. The socioeconomic context contributing to the observed
emigration and the benefits to the communities of origin as a result of
these movements are considered. The impact of return migration on
agricultural development is discussed.

"In this
paper, two concepts related to spatial mobility at the household level
are introduced: 'shadow households' and 'competing auspices'. The
shadow household consists of all individuals who are not presently
living in a household but whose principal obligations and commitments
are to that household. According to the competing auspices concept,
intentions to move from point X to point Y are, ceteris paribus,
positively related to the presence of relatives or close friends at
point Y and negatively related to such links at any other point Z."
These concepts are illustrated using data from a sample survey of 1,700
individuals undertaken in Ilocos Norte province, the Philippines.

Frank. The economic effects of immigration: specification
of a model. Impacts of Immigration in California Policy Discussion
Paper, No. PDS-85-3, Dec 1985. 39 pp. Urban Institute: Washington, D.C.
In Eng.
The author elaborates a theoretical model for simulating
the economic impact of immigration. "The model focuses on employment,
unemployment, and wage rates in six submarkets of a national labor
market--three in each of two regions. The three submarkets in each
region cover (1) unskilled labor, (2) labor whose skills come primarily
from on-the-job training and experience, and (3) labor whose skills
come largely from formal education. The two regions are a 'region of
immigration' and a 'rest of the country.'".
The simulation indicates
"that the effects of an increase in the annual flow of immigrants are
highly sensitive to the substitutability between labor and capital and
among different kinds of labor; to the responsiveness of wage changes
to unemployment; to the presence or absence of wage rigidity; and to
the skill mix of immigrants....Effects are quite sensitive to regional
behavior, specifically, to the response of interregional migration and
interregional trade to wage and price
differentials."

This introduction to the sociology of spatial
mobility is intended for sociologists, geographers, and spatial
planners. Basic concepts and major theoretical approaches are first
reviewed, and policy measures designed to influence mobility are
discussed. Various types of spatial movement are covered, including
internal and international migration, residential mobility, and
commuting; however, special emphasis is given to urban flight. The
geographic focus is primarily on the Federal Republic of
Germany.

"In this paper the focus is upon the use of the community as a unit
of analysis in seeking an understanding of the causes and impact of
population mobility in Third World situations. It draws particularly
upon the writer's field experience in the investigation of population
mobility at the community level in Indonesia....This paper begins with
a brief consideration of the problems involved in defining what in fact
a community-level approach is and then proceeds to address the question
of why community-level studies of migration should be undertaken. It
then summarizes how community-level analyses have contributed to an
understanding of population mobility."
The author next turns to
"more pragmatic data collection issues associated with a
community-level approach and critically considers some of the types of
community-level studies of population mobility that have been
undertaken. A final section of the paper comprises a discussion of the
strengths and limitations of existing community-level research on
population mobility as a basis for making some suggestions for the
design of future data collection and analysis strategies of this

F. Migration and the phases of population
redistribution. Journal of Development Economics, Vol. 17, No.
1-2, Jan-Feb 1985. 29-45 pp. Amsterdam, Netherlands. In Eng.
A
macro-level theory of population redistribution is developed in
association with the process of socioeconomic development. The author
suggests that the major shifts in migration that occur over time "are
associated with shifts in population settlement patterns as population
concentrates in urban centers in response to the need for greater
social and economic interaction during the early stages of development
and then deconcentrates as improved transportation and communication
permit much of the increased interaction to be performed at a
distance." The need to study minor shifts in population in the context
of settlement patterns is also noted.
The author concludes that
"migration, population redistribution, and population settlement
patterns are closely related phenomena that would benefit from a
unified theoretical framework." A comment by Jacob Mincer (pp. 43-5)
is included.

"This paper
reviews the available literature on Western Hemispheric migration to
the United States. Three areas of research are selected for detailed
discussion. These include the relationship between economic
development and migration, the role of immigrants in the U.S. labor

to the Americas. The goal is to examine critically the assumptions of
research and policy for each issue and to provide examples of
alternative perspectives or historical interpretations."
In the
paper, "the present debate over immigration reform is examined as a
transition period that challenges an immigration policy rooted in the
1960s movement for social and civil rights and attempts in the 1970s to
forge an open, multi-lateral basis for foreign policy. The new social
forces that drive immigration reform have as their general principles
the fiscal disciplining of the economy and U.S. workforce, and a sharp
move toward particularistic, bilateral foreign policies....Throughout
the paper, there is an attempt to identify new directions in research
on immigration and refugees."

Emigration
from England and Wales in the latter part of the nineteenth century is
examined. The author presents a method for estimating the county of
birth of the 2.3 million emigrants who left between 1861 and 1900. The
rate and timing of emigration is related to the social and economic
conditions of the counties concerned. He concludes that emigrants did
not generally come from peripheral areas, but from large towns; that
return migration to England and Wales was more frequent than for
emigrants from elsewhere in Europe; and that emigrants were
well-informed concerning the costs and benefits of migration and were
not generally fleeing from poverty but acting on well-considered
decisions to emigrate.

The author surveys recent
trends in international migration in South America and traces the
transformation of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay from
primarily immigration countries to emigration countries. "European
immigration of the 19th and early 20th centuries is compared to modern
border migration. In a country-by-country review, the paper
underscores the differences in the spatial and economic integration of
migrants over time, with particular attention to labor market impacts.
The characteristics of major flows between countries, as well as the
economic and political determinants and consequences of emigration are
examined from the perspective of sending and receiving
countries."
Distinguishing between urban and rural emigration
patterns, the author finds that "rural emigration was spurred by one of
three developments: capitalist transformation, agrarian stagnation, or
the partial renovation and proletarianization of the peasant economy.
Urban emigration was linked to excess labor in specific economic
sectors and/or political changes and deterioration in the overall
quality of life." Trends in return migration are also
considered.

The primary concern of this paper is with the economic

including the 1980 census. They conclude that undocumented Mexican
migration does not exert a large impact on the local labor markets
examined.

Intra-regional migration and emigration to the United Kingdom, Canada,

It is noted that
"outmigration has 'cancelled out' significant percentages of the
population increases in Caribbean countries since 1950. Low
intercensal growth rates in the 1960-1970 decade were achieved
primarily by adult emigration rather than by lowering the birth rates.
In the short term, migration reduces pressure on labour markets, but it
increases the proportion of those in the dependent-age groups."
Patterns of return migration during the last century are also
considered.

Natives are relatively more intensive in country-specific knowledge and
skills. Immigrants are relatively more intensive in the
characteristics that influence self-selection for migration, including
innate ability, ambition, entrepreneurship, and aggressiveness. The
hypothesis is tested by comparing, for five major immigrant receiving
countries, the ratio of immigrant to native labor and the ratio of
immigrant (and second-generation) to native earnings, other variables
held constant."

Following an
examination of the data collection methodology used, a brief overview
of the economics and geography of the sending regions is presented.
The structure of the migrant population is then compared with that of
the population remaining in the region of origin in terms of age, sex,
marital status, employment status, and education. The history of
various types of migration involving France and the Senegal River
valley countries is discussed, with consideration given to temporary
and permanent migration, international migration, and return migration.
The economic and social costs and benefits for both sending and
receiving regions are examined, and laws and regulations pertaining to
migrants in both areas are described.

suggestions concerning the formulation of policies to reduce emigration
from Mali, Mauritania, and Senegal and to encourage the return of
emigrants to their country of origin. The questionnaires used and a

"A

that the high rates of out-migration from Jamaica in the late 70s were
essentially a response to the democratic socialist policies of the
Manley administration in that country. However, a more detailed
examination of the data on patterns of migration in previous years
reveals not only that the high rates were part of an on-going trend set
soon after World War II, but also that the various fluctuations in
rates from year to year correspond more to the immigration policies of
receiving countries than to the policies of the sending
nation."

Undocumented migration from Mexico to the United States is
analyzed, with a focus on both the causes and consequences of this

migration and its role in the complementary relationship that exists

primarily from interviews conducted in 1975 and 1976 with 218
individuals in the Mexican state of Jalisco and from a survey of
migrant remittances. The author develops the hypothesis that two
migration systems coexist in Mexico, one involving internal rural-urban
migration, the other involving migration to the United States.

"This article deals with the impact of remittances from emigrants
on real incomes for different groups in their country of origin in a
two-by-two model with one traded and one nontraded good. It is shown
that emigration does not necessarily raise the real income of the
emigrants themselves. If the traded good is capital intensive,
nonmigrant workers gain and capitalists lose, whereas if it is labor
intensive, the outcome depends on what happens to the price of the
nontraded good. The result of a rise is that capitalists gain and
workers lose, while a fall has the opposite
effect."

time-series analysis of movement to Sweden, France, and Essen.
Environment and Planning A, Vol. 18, No. 3, Mar 1986. 375-99 pp.
London, England. In Eng.
"Two contradictory approaches--an
equilibrium view based on neoclassical economic principles and a
structuralist view based on labour needs of core economies--dominate
contemporary international migration research. Using a monthly
time-series for Essen [Federal Republic of Germany], Sweden, and France
for 1952-1982 of immigration by different nationalities, a specific
hypothesis derived from the neoclassical view, relating immigration to
economic growth and stagnation, was tested using the Box-Jenkins ARIMA
modelling approach."
The only support for the hypothesis came from
the example of the local labor market in Essen. The author notes that
"most migration flows are described by complex ARIMA models.
Immigration legislation had a stronger and more direct effect on the
strength and timing of flows than economic trends. Predictions based
on univariate and bivariate models are not very useful: immigration
trends over the past decade are significantly different from earlier
flows."

immigrants." The geographic focus is on the United States. The
authors conclude that although the average cost to natives in 1975
dollars to provide services for immigrants is 4,172 dollars, this
amount "is considerably smaller than the benefits of immigrants to
natives through their relatively low use of welfare services and their
relatively high contribution of taxes."

Boulder, Colorado/London, England. In Eng.
The author uses data
collected during her fieldwork in the Ilocos Norte province of the
Philippines "to identify and quantify the major socioeconomic
conditions which increase or decrease the migration propensity of
residents in a rural-agricultural area. This objective is accomplished
through the assessment of the following major socioeconomic conditions:
(1) population structure; (2) agricultural structure; (3) opportunity
structure; and (4) urban amenities. The effects of the above factors
on the rural population as a whole and on different segments of the
population are systematically examined."
A model is elaborated that
incorporates individual, household, and community factors influencing
migration intentions. Three factors are identified as determinants of
migration intentions: commitment to family, job, and place of
residence; resources for moving; and resources of community of origin.
The relationships among these variables are considered, and the
relative importance of each for selected segments of the sample is
assessed.
In concluding, the author comments that "the major
contribution of this study is its application of contextual analysis to
the study of migration at the place of origin....This study has also
attempted to untangle the contrasting effects of land ownership. The
results show that land ownership has a positive effect on migration
intentions on younger persons and nonfarmers, whereas it has a negative
effect on farmers."

gained greater numbers of migrants, contrary to expectations; this is

labor migration for the regional labor market: theory, methodology and
Dutch experience. Review of Economics and Statistics, Vol. 68, No.
1, Feb 1986. 74-83 pp. Amsterdam, Netherlands. In Eng.
The authors
examine the impact of interregional migration on labor markets in the
recipient countries, particularly "whether migrants fulfill vacancies
which could also have been filled by native unemployed. It is argued
that this problem could adequately be analyzed by means of ex post
comparison of both categories with regard to age, education, family
status and work experience."
Using data from the Netherlands Labor
Force Survey of 1979, "this comparison has been made by means of
logistic regression and the results have been cross-validated. The
migrants are found to have superior labor market characteristics. The
implications of this finding for some migration theories and regional
policy are discussed."

pp. Oxford University Press: New York, New York/Oxford, England. In
Eng.
The author surveys the history of refugee movements in Europe
since the 1880s. Attention is first given to the growing awareness of a
refugee phenomenon, beginning in the late nineteenth century and
culminating in the establishment of the League of Nations High
Commission for Refugees following the First World War. "The remainder
of this book will examine how international responses formulated in the
1920s changed and evolved under the impact of subsequent refugee
problems. Best known are the refugee crises wrought by fascism,
especially that caused by the Nazi persecution and expulsion of Jews
from Central Europe."
The author's "central concern is the impact of
refugee movements on the international community in Europe, principally
with reference to the relations between states. Important to this is a
basic description of the refugees in question: who they were, why they
became refugees, and what happened to them when they did. Vital also
is an analysis of the variety of agencies that worked alongside
national governments and ultimately became themselves actors on the
international stage." A variety of published sources are utilized. The
emphasis is on the historical uniqueness of European refugee movements
in the twentieth century and on "the emergence of a new variety of
collective alienation...."

This book is
concerned with the forced resettlement of the black population which
has been and is taking place during the course of implementation of the
policy of apartheid. The book has been developed out of the work of the
Surplus People Project (SPP) since 1979 and attempts to show that the
forced relocation of blacks is a necessary part of the apartheid system
designed to keep political and economic power in the hands of the white
minority. It presents, in a format for the general reader, information
from the five-volume report, Forced Removals in South Africa, published
by the SPP in 1983.

The author "focuses on the present
status in Central America and Mexico of those who have had to abandon
their homes to seek refuge and work in other countries, because of the
pervasive threat of state repression and political violence.
Particular attention will be given to Mexico, Honduras and Costa Rica
that have been besieged by refugees, as well as El Salvador, Guatemala,
and Nicaragua that have been the source of these flows. In a dual
role, Nicaragua also is viewed as host to Salvadoran and Guatemalan
refugees."
Government publications, reports from international
organizations, and other published literature are reviewed. The author
"outlines these major migration and refugee flows; provides an
indication of the complex set of causes and effects of these movements
on receiving and sending countries; and reviews current policy matters
related to refugees and migrants."

"In this paper an attempt has been made
to estimate return migration from the destination state of migrants for
15 major Indian states during 1961-71 among the life-time inter-state
migrants enumerated in the 1961 census. The model used for estimation
is based on the procedure suggested by Zachariah (1967) for estimating
return migration from two census data." The results indicate that of
the almost 13 million interstate migrants enumerated in the 1961
census, about 4.7 million returned during the period 1961-1971. Factors
affecting this return migration are considered.

data to national census data in an investigation of one peripheral form
of counter-urbanization now regarded as widely present in developed
countries. The recent growth and spatial distribution of long-
distance English migration to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland is
described, and then 'explained' through multivariate analysis of
cross-sectional data and through the stated motivations and
characteristics of surveyed migrants to some of the remoter, rural
parts of the region. The study reveals the importance of environmental
and quality of life considerations."

University Microfilms International: Ann Arbor, Michigan. In Eng.
"A regionalized general equilibrium model of migration is developed
to analyze the effects of government policy on migration from the rural
sector to five different urban regions in Mexico. The model is
designed to capture the interdependence of migration, unemployment, and
relative prices in the Mexican economy." Four alternative policy
scenarios are examined: "(1) a tax incentive program to encourage
production outside Mexico City; (2) a decentralization of government
expenditures; (3) a reduction of the urban wage floors; and (4) an
expansion of the oil sector."
The results indicate that "fiscal
incentives are more effective in reducing unemployment rates than in
redirecting or reducing migration. Migration is very sensitive to the
decentralization of government expenditures. The deterioration of the
real wage in the urban sector is accompanied by a small reduction in
migration. The expansion of the oil sector has uneven income
distribution effects."
This work was prepared as a doctoral
dissertation at Stanford University.

"Using the data of the Indian
Census of 1961, this study examines the rate of child migration to the
cities of India and the proportion of the migrant children who were
engaged in the labour force. The volume of child migration is found to
be positively associated with total migration. Just over a fifth of
the urban children were migrants but nearly forty percent of the child
labourers were migrant children who were found to be concentrated in a
few occupational divisions. Rural migrant children were short distance
migrants while urban migrant children made long distance
moves."
