Arbor, Michigan. In Eng.
"The present study examines the
relationship between migration and modernization in Sri Lanka,
specifically the relationship between in-migration ratios and level of
modernization of the districts and the relationship between migration
differentials and individual modernity. The relationship between
in-migration ratios and the levels of district modernization was
estimated by multiple regression technique while migration
differentials were examined through migration ratios, index of
dissimilarity and logistic regression."
The author notes "the
presence of a close relationship between annual in-migration ratios and
levels of modernization achieved by the districts. The study confirmed
the use of place to place models in estimating spatial models of
migration....Two patterns of migration emerged, one based on high
income and levels of education at the origin, and the other the
presence of friends and relatives at the destination."

The author uses a simultaneous-equation econometric model
to examine the impact of socioeconomic conditions in agriculture on the
emigration of rural labor in the west-central region of Mexico. The
analysis of census data for 1950-1960, 1960-1970, and 1970-1980 shows

These are
the proceedings of a symposium on the relationships among population
growth, migration, and urbanization in Latin America held October
25-27, 1984, at Schloss Eicholz, the Federal Republic of Germany. The
papers, which are in Spanish or Portuguese, are divided into four
sections. The first deals with population growth and includes papers
on population pressures on rural areas, the position of the Catholic
church in Brazil, development policies, and the labor force in Peru.
The second deals with internal migration in Bolivia, Brazil, and
Mexico; and with the effects of international migration on Mexico,
Paraguay, Argentina, and Puerto Rico.
The third section examines the
relative advantages of metropolitan growth and decentralization in the
region. A final section is concerned with problems of urbanization in
Latin America as a whole and in the cities of Buenos Aires, Salvador,
Rio de Janeiro, Caracas, and Bogota.

This is a
collection of studies by various authors concerning migration in
Melanesia. It is a product of the Seminar on the Cross-Cultural Study
of Circulation held at the East-West Center in Hawaii in 1978. The 20
papers are divided into five substantive sections. The first deals
with traditional patterns of migration before the development of
regular contacts with outsiders. The second describes the
transformations in circulation associated with the period of Western
contact. The next section examines relationships among economic,
educational, and circulatory factors. A section on rural-urban
migration and urbanization is also included.
A final section deals
with Melanesian circulation in a broader context. Data for the studies
come from a variety of sources, with the emphasis on fieldwork. The
emphasis throughout is on both permanent and temporary
migration.

Paul M. Prediction intervals for missing figures in
migration tables. [1985?]. 101 pp. Rijksuniversiteit Groningen:
Groningen, Netherlands. In Eng. with sum. in Dut.
The author seeks
to supplement existing work concerning the prediction of migration
tables "by constructing prediction intervals for the missing figures
separately....In the first part of this thesis, a general theory is
developed to construct such prediction intervals for missing figures
from aggregated data." This theory is based on probabilistic
assumptions, the limitations and consequences of which are
discussed.
"Although our theory contains options for greater
generality, the idea is to assume that the underlying numbers are
outcomes of independent Poisson variables with parameters satisfying
some log-linear model....Much attention is paid to the statistical
estimation of unknown parameters from aggregated data, the
uncertainties involved, etcetera."
In Chapter 2, models are
constructed which satisfy the assumption "that it is extremely
convenient from a prediction point of view if the conditional
distribution of the underlying table, given the available data, does
not depend on unknown parameters." An alternative natural model
approach is presented in the following chapter. The general prediction
theory developed is then applied to data for Sweden and the
Netherlands.

migrants to Philippine cities in the nineteenth century. Journal
of Historical Geography, Vol. 12, No. 4, Oct 1986. 381-401 pp. New
York, New York/London, England. In Eng.
The author examines
characteristics of Chinese immigrants in Philippine cities in the 1800s
and their migration patterns using data from official annual tax
registers. The migration flows are shown to be closely associated with
region of origin in China and regional economy in the Philippines. The
distribution of selected Chinese groups in Manila and in various
provincial centers is analyzed, and attention is given to turnover
rates within these immigrant groups. "Linkage analysis reveals that
turnover was disproportionately concentrated among the least affluent
and the most recently arrived. In other words, economic success and/or
medium-term residence in the community tended to promote stability.
Both findings fit with studies of Western urban
societies."

data from censuses, surveys and registration systems for
underenumeration or incomplete registration. Then a stochastic model
of movements is developed that allows the description of the basic
regularities more formally. This model is also shown to shed a useful
light on several other issues in measuring and analysing migration. A
full account of all computational procedures involved is given in the
final chapter, using selected data for Thailand. Throughout, the paper
stresses the importance of duration of residence
data."

"This is the second in a series of three interrelated papers

the details are given of a choice model, established by McFadden, which
can be used in conjunction with migratory dynamics thus providing an
explicit link between the macroproperties of the population system and
human behaviour. First, the structure of transition probabilities is
derived under a two-level decision to migrate. An argument is then
given about the empirical form of these probabilities, and the
discussion closes with a method which can be used for their maximum
likelihood estimation."

Gini index. Migration and Development Program Discussion Paper,
No. 23, Jun 1986. 19 pp. Harvard University, Center for Population
Studies, Migration and Development Program: Cambridge, Massachusetts.
In Eng.
"This paper uses the extended Gini inequality index to
examine the sensitivity of measurements of impacts of migrant
remittances on the distribution of household income by size to
different value judgements when measuring inequality. The results
illustrate the robustness of earlier findings that the impacts of
migration on village income distributions differ for different types of
migration and for different periods in a village's migration
history."
The authors note that "the magnitude of these impacts,
however, appears to be quite sensitive to the weights attached to
incomes at different points in the village income distribution when
measuring inequality....This finding is consistent with the view that
barriers to high-paying Mexico-to-U.S. migration work exist for
households at the bottom of the village income
distribution."

and urbanization: a three-sector model. Center for Policy Studies
Working Paper, No. 124, Jul 1986. 29 pp. Population Council, Center for
Policy Studies: New York, New York. In Eng.
"This paper presents a
combined internal-international migration model for developing
countries. In the model, it is postulated that the decision to
emigrate is some function of the expected income differential between
the home and destination countries. This expected differential is
composed of actual differentials adjusted for the probability of
finding employment in the place of origin and the foreign
destination."
The model is used to examine the contribution of labor
emigration to the relief of unemployment in the place of origin. "It
demonstrates that although labor emigration may contribute to the
relief of overall domestic unemployment, this favorable effect may be
offset by a costly rise in urban unemployment caused by increased
rural-urban migration."

Institute of Social and Economic Research Paper, No. 2, Jun 1985. 46,
[4] pp. University of the West Indies, Institute of Social and Economic
Research: Kingston, Jamaica. In Eng.
"This paper looks at
outmigration from Jamaica during the 1970s and offers an assessment of
the effects of this movement on the pattern and level of development in
the country....The general argument of this paper...is that while
outmigration from Jamaica may have served to retard achievement of the
goals of self-directed development, it has largely served to maintain
the model of dependent development, and that it is, in fact, on this
political-economic basis that policy decisions are made."
The author
presents a variation of the traditional cost-benefit approach to
migration, rephrasing costs as factors that undermine the
political-economic system and benefits as factors supporting it. "A
typology is presented of the kinds of resource flows which occur from
Caribbean countries under the dependent model, as well as the
system-maintaining and system disruptive effects which result from
these flows. This typology is discussed in relation to Jamaica's
experience during the last decade, and a detailed assessment is offered
of the manpower effects of outmigration from the
country."

Richard. International migration in the South Pacific: a
New Zealand perspective. New Zealand Population Review, Vol. 12,
No. 1, Feb 1986. 32-48 pp. Wellington, New Zealand. In Eng.
The
author examines migration to and from New Zealand since the late 1970s
using data from the 1981 census and from unpublished official migration
statistics for 1985. The chief focus is on people born in the South
Pacific region. Distinctions are made between permanent and long-term
migration on the one hand and short-term migration on the other.
A
complex regional system of international migration in the South Pacific
is identified. In concluding, the author emphasizes the need to
investigate further "the magnitude of population exchanges between
countries in the South Pacific, and the difficulties of isolating
appropriate migrant universes when using data obtained from arrival and
departure cards."

The author examines the emigration of educated
individuals from developing countries and reviews selected approaches
to the study of international human capital flows. Attention is then
given to two policy issues: the financing of postsecondary education
and an international brain drain tax.
The following factors are
identified as critical in their impact on educated worker migration:
"(a) the rigidity or flexibility of the wage in the market for the
services of educated labour; (b) the extent of government subsidy
(explicit or implicit) of the cost of post-secondary education; (c) the
extent of responsiveness of the investment in education to the private
return on such investment or its being exogenously controlled by the
government; and (d) the type of restrictions (if any) imposed by the
receiving industrialized countries on the migration flows from the
LDCs."

Leon F.; Gardner, Robert W. Immigration to the U.S.: the
unfinished story. Population Bulletin, Vol. 41, No. 4, Nov 1986.
51 pp. Population Reference Bureau: Washington, D.C. In Eng.
The
authors survey trends in U.S. immigration, considering immigration
before 1965, immigration since 1965, impacts and issues, the 1986
immigration law reform, and the outlook for the years ahead. They
observe that "annual totals of new immigrants and refugees in the U.S.
may now be up to the record highs of over a million immigrants counted
in six years between 1905 and 1914. Since 1979, legal immigrants have
averaged 566,000 a year (570,009 in 1985), newly arrived refugees and
asylees approved have averaged 135,000, and the 'settled' illegal
immigrant population is growing by up to half a million a year,
according to some estimates....The Census Bureau estimates that net
immigration now accounts for 28 percent of U.S. population
growth...."
It is also noted that "Asians and Latin Americans now
make up over 80 percent of legal immigrants and Latin Americans
comprised 77 percent of illegal immigrants counted in the 1980 census.
Asians far outstrip Latin American immigrants in education,
occupational status, and income and might be expected to assimilate in
the same manner as earlier immigrant groups did. Hispanic immigrants so
far appear to favor cultural pluralism, maintaining their own culture
and the Spanish language." The economic impact of illegal immigrants
is considered, and the strength of public sentiment favoring curbs on
illegal immigration is emphasized.

An analysis is presented of the parish of Lanheses,
a northern Portuguese village particularly affected by large-scale
peasant emigration, from 1700 to the present day. The author "combines
demographic analysis and historical and ethnographic methods to explore
its long history of predominantly male emigration, high illegitimacy
rates, late marriage, moderated fertility, and frequency of female
celibacy. Her discussion of Lanheses from 1700 to the present shows
how these phenomena were interconnected and rooted in the local economy
and inheritance system."
The data are primarily taken from parish
records. Consideration is given to the imbalance in the marriage
fortunes of men and women and to its effect on the role of women in the
community.

seeks to assess the value of the overseas-born members of the labour
force in ensuring a flexible labour supply in New Zealand since the

evidence on migration and labour market segmentation in New Zealand."
Data used are from official external migration statistics, quinquennial

another is to discuss reasons why international migrants receive social
assistance more frequently than others. The latter leads to the

with different backgrounds."
It is found that "the number of
immigrants receiving social assistance has increased since the

This special issue is concerned
with the migration of guest workers into developed countries. The
geographic focus is on the situation in Europe, with some consideration
given to the United States. Problems related to the growing tendency
of migrant workers and their families to settle permanently in their
host countries are considered, including the rapid expansion of an
ethnically distinct class heavily dependent on state welfare and the
continuation of solid links between former migrants and their countries
of origin.
The unique characteristics of labor migration to Western
Europe are first described, its implications for migration theory are
considered, and the implications for migrants and the countries
concerned are assessed. The implications for policy, including social
and welfare policy, are reviewed. A paper is included on the emergence
of distinct immigrant communities. The policy implications for sending
countries are examined using the example of Turkey, as well as the
political implications of a growing Islamic community in Europe.
Policy issues in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United
States are dealt with. Finally, the effect of these migrations on the
sovereignty and independence of the states concerned is
discussed.

This study is concerned
with the immigration of Algerians to France. The author first
describes the initiation of this immigration in the context of the
colonial relationship between Algeria and France and then proceeds to
analyze the reasons why migration continued to grow during the course
of the twentieth century. Current immigration patterns as well as the
policies that govern them are analyzed. The author concludes that this
immigration has developed in recent years from temporary labor
migration to permanent migration, involving whole families, and that
neither the authorities, the communities, nor the individuals concerned
have yet accepted this fact or adjusted to it.

case, 1945-1981. Pub. Order No. DA8608923. 1985. 362 pp.
University Microfilms International: Ann Arbor, Michigan. In Eng.
In order to study the role of foreign labor in the advanced
industrial states of Western Europe, the author develops "a
political-economic model of the policymaking process, which sorts out
the effects of political, social and economic factors on immigration
and foreign employment....The analysis of the French data [for
1945-1981] shows that immigration and foreign employment are much more
responsive to changes in market conditions than to changes in
policy."

"The effect of informational asymmetry on
the level and skill composition of international migration and on the
level of output are examined first, in the absence of signalling and,
second, when a signalling device is available. Using total output as a
criterion we find, inter alia, that signalling may not perfectly
compensate for informational asymmetry and that reduction in the costs
of signalling may not raise output."

nineteenth century, noting particularly the trends in Indian migration
to Middle Eastern and North African countries. The demand for
expatriate labor in West Asia for the years 1985-1990 is projected, and
consideration is given to differential labor migration according to
skill category. Focusing on Indian emigrants currently working in the
Gulf States, the author discusses conceptual problems in examining
international migration as well as the social-psychological
consequences and the societal impact of
migration.

The
author focuses on characteristics of Polish immigrants in Minnesota in
the years since World War II. Particular attention is given to the
immigrants' adaptation to the American way of life and to democratic
institutions after being accustomed to centralized power in a socialist
system. "This article is based on participant observation, publications
concerning immigration to the United States, and unstructured
interviews with newcomers from Poland and other Eastern European
countries."
Distinctions are made among the characteristics of
Polish-Americans, pre-World War II immigrants, war immigrants, and
those who have come during the last 20 years, including groups that the
author identifies as the "calculated-decision" immigrants, the
post-Solidarity immigrants, and the "adjusted visitor" immigrants.
Consideration is given to the demographic characteristics, legal
status, education and employment, and territorial mobility of 35 Poles
living in Minnesota who were interviewed by the
author.

The author investigates
human resource shortages in a labor-supplying country, focusing
particularly on the case of Jordan. He "examines the growth,
characteristics and role of immigrant labour in an erstwhile emigrant
economy and assesses the validity of the replacement migration model.
Data is presented from the author's survey of some 3,751 work permits
issued to foreign workers in Amman between October 1982 and January
1983."
It is noted that "replacement migration is only one aspect of
a more diffuse pattern of labour inflows which have important
implications for the Jordanian economy in general and the labour market
in particular." In addition to replacement labor migration, which
involves the employment of skilled workers in sectors experiencing
domestic labor shortages, the author identifies the roles played by
collective contract labor, involving immigrant labor for
project-specific work, and secondary labor, involving low-skill work at
discriminatory wage rates. The distinctions between these forms of
labor migration and their economic implications are
discussed.

"This book is
a collection of essays that explores the experiences of immigrant women
during the post-World War II period. Its scope is international, and
its overall aim is to delineate and analyze the social, economic,
political, and cultural characteristics that influence female migrants
both as immigrants and as women, and which therefore may differentiate
their experiences from those of male migrants." The geographic focus
is on the major Western receiving countries, and the data and methods
of analysis vary from statistical analyses of quantitative data to
in-depth qualitative research based on case studies and interviews.
Emphasis is given to comparisons among international migration
streams.
The first part provides an introduction and a demographic
overview of women's international migration. Part 2 is concerned with
female labor force participation and policy issues: the first six
papers focus on North America, and the next three on Europe,
specifically the United Kingdom, France, and the Federal Republic of
Germany. Part 3 concentrates on family adaptation and cultural
adjustment.

Edward. U.S. immigration policy, the Mexican village
economy, and agricultural labor markets in California. Urban
Institute Project Report, Oct 1986. 102 pp. Urban Institute:

The author focuses on two aspects of
migration from Mexico to the United States: "the labor supply
decisions underlying illegal Mexico-U.S. migration...[and] the impacts
and reliance on undocumented workers in U.S. agricultural labor
markets." The analysis is based on previous studies and on an analysis
of immigration using data for a sample of rural Mexican
households.
"Part I examines the general characteristics of the
illegal Mexico-U.S. migration process, the motives for Mexico-U.S.
migration, and the interdependence between migrant-sending areas in
Mexico and the 'second economy' in which most migrants are employed in
the United States. In Part II, information from a number of existing
sources is used to construct a profile of undocumented Mexico-U.S.
migrants. In Part II, detailed data collected by the author in the
Patzcuaro region of Mexico are used to estimate a model of undocumented
Mexico-U.S. migration decision and the net economic returns to
households in rural Mexico from sending migrants illegally to the
United States."
The final section "focuses on the implications of
these findings for agricultural labor markets in California, using data
from a recent survey of the state's farm workforce and from the
California Employment Development Department."

from developing countries. Center for Policy Studies Working
Paper, No. 126, Sep 1986. 45 pp. Population Council, Center for Policy
Studies: New York, New York. In Eng.
"This paper presents a model
of international illegal migration from developing countries. The
model postulates that the decision to emigrate is some function of the
expected income differential between the home and destination
countries. This expected differential is composed of actual
differentials adjusted for the probability of finding employment in the
place of origin and the intended destination." The model takes into
account such factors as inflexible or discriminatory wages,
unemployment, and restrictions on mobility.
The model is used to
evaluate the implications of the Simpson-Mazzoli bill concerning
immigration to the United States. The results indicate that although
host governments may be able to affect the flow of illegal immigrants
by developing policies that act directly or indirectly on expected
incomes, there are major weaknesses in an approach focusing on the
imposition of employer penalties and increased border
apprehension.

Immigration in the

immigration are identified, occurring in the early 1960s, around 1970,
and during the late 1970s. Among the main immigrant groups were
Italians, Yugoslavs, and Turks. In contrast to the Italian and Yugoslav
migrants, among whom the rate of return migration is high, the majority
of Turkish migrants have stayed in West Germany and have brought their
families. The contribution of the immigrant community to the country's
birth rate is noted.

Demographic and
social characteristics of 3,175 Puerto Rican women aged 15-49, who were
classified according to migrant status as in-migrants, return migrants,
or nonmigrants, are examined. The data are from the 1982 Puerto Rico
Fertility and Family Planning Assessment. Attention is given to age,
marital status, education, occupational status, religion, number of
children, and contraceptive use. The authors note the shortcomings
involved in treating the migrant categories as homogeneous
groups.
It is found that "differences in socioeconomic profiles
between return migrants, the in-migrants and the non-migrants are
minimal and lend empirical support to the notion that selectivity is
becoming less of a factor with respect to migration from and into
Puerto Rico. When age is controlled, in-migrants tend to have the
lowest fertility and the non-migrants the highest levels, except in the
younger age groups. This observation must be tempered by the need for
further multivariate analysis."

"The major objective of this dissertation

is a striking internal population disequilibrium in Morocco with the
greatest urban concentration in 2 or 3 main cities."
The author
finds that "migration is determined chiefly by two factors: (a) the
world system...affects, in numerous ways, the economic, social, spatial
and political structure of national development and the population
distribution. (b) economic stagnation, the modernization of some
activities, and the concentration of ownership of the means of
production in some sectors accelerate the migration process directly or
indirectly."

"The purpose of this paper is to
investigate the characteristics of internal migration to and from New
Providence Island [Bahamas] during the decade of the 1960s. Only
internal island-to-island moves are being studied since published data
regarding foreign migration are incomplete. Specifically, three topics
will be investigated: (1) the spatial patterns of in-migration to and
out-migration from New Providence Island; (2) the selectivity of
migrants; and (3) the impact of net internal migration on the
demographic composition of Greater Nassau."
It is observed that the
negative net migration experienced in New Providence during the 1960s
is atypical for major cities in the region.

which education has--as an individual attribute--on the migration
decision. In addition, inclusion of regional average education levels
as explanatory variables makes it possible to analyze the effect of
education, as a locational benefit, on migration. The model is tested

In Eng.
This study uses a place utility approach to analyze
internal migration in the Republic of Korea in terms of city
attractiveness. Data are from a survey of individuals' perceptions of
city attractiveness and from published data concerning measures of
objective city attractiveness. The latter are primarily socioeconomic
indicators.
The findings suggest that "city-ward migration is
dependent on individuals' subjective evaluation of city attractiveness
rather than on objective attractiveness itself....Therefore, policy
efforts, through various information programs, to close the gap between
actual city attractiveness and its subjective perception may be a
prerequisite for the better functioning of population redistribution
programs."
This work was prepared as a doctoral dissertation at the

The author examines migration patterns in India
using data from the 1961, 1971, and 1981 censuses. Among the
developments noted is "the declining rate of migration over time in
both rural and urban areas--more sharply for males than for
females....In an attempt to look at the population mobility in the
context of development dynamics, this paper considers the interstate
variations in the incidence of migrants in general and interstate
migrants in particular. The growing immobility is also examined in
relation to the process of accentuation of regional
imbalances."

"Using data obtained from the [U.S.]
National Longitudinal Survey of the High School Class of 1972, this
paper addresses two interrelated questions. First, is a decision to
migrate to or from a rural place related to background characteristics
and personal attributes? And second, how does the decision to leave a
rural area, move into a rural area, or remain in the rural area of
one's childhood relate to early adult social and economic
attainments?".
The authors find that migration is related to both
sets of factors, and they note "the importance of taking into account
characteristics of the local opportunity structure in studies of labor
market outcomes and labor supply
characteristics."

"This study explores the premise that particular sequences of
migration select particular types of persons, whose decisions to move
are colored by a spectrum of motives, personal capabilities, and
information sources. Longitudinal micro data are used to demonstrate
that migrants who venture out and promptly return are distinctively
different from other migrants. They are comparatively less educated
and less skilled, recently unemployed, and less inclined to plan ahead
or avoid taking risks."
The data are from the University of Michigan
Panel Study of Income Dynamics for the years 1968-1975 and concern

demographic perspective on migration by emphasizing the diversity of
purposes that may operate, depending on where a particular move falls

urbanization cannot be examined out of this context. They conclude
that the only realistic policy is to bring about development in the
black states or homelands, which would in turn develop poles of
attraction for migrants. They reject solutions involving either the
continuation of the present migrant labor system or the removal of
measures inhibiting the free migration of people in the absence of the
development of black areas.

The
author examines the characteristics of internal migration in the United

"age-disaggregated data on migration which is available from the 1971
census 'new area' tabulations and from the Office of Population
Censuses and Surveys' (OPCS) 10% sample of National Health Service
patient reregistrations since 1975. The limitations of both types of
migration data are discussed and methods of estimating complete
matrices of flows for a system of metropolitan counties and
non-metropolitan regions are outlined."
Consideration is given to
"the spatial pattern and age structure of five-year migration during
1966-71 and changes in the pattern between 1966-71 and 1976-81. The
distance decay parameters of a doubly constrained spatial interaction
model are used to illustrate spatial variations in the propensity to
migrate over distance, and trends in the level and pattern of annual
interzonal movement are examined....Four different approaches are
chosen to generate forecasts of age-specific flows which can be
compared against estimated 'observed' data...."

"The purpose of this paper is to analyze
the relationships between the residential (or intra-urban) mobility of
households and variables describing the households and the residential
areas where the households are located. The paper is based on data
from a more comprehensive study on migration and residential mobility
in the Helsinki [Finland] metropolitan area...." Individual-level
records from the 1980 census and records on all moves to, from, or
within the area in 1981 were linked. Variables considered include
phase of household life cycle, discrepancy between housing needs and
housing situation, economic resources of households, percentage of
high-income households in the residential areas, and physical character
of the areas.
A linear logistic model is used to analyze the
importance of the variables and their interactions. It is concluded
that "household characteristics are much more important determinants of
residential mobility than area characteristics."

age of such workers, the sooner he left, the larger could be the
present values of his monetary rewards."
Among the macro-level
consequences considered are "possible relations of migration to urban
labor productivity, costs of traffic congestion, net fiscal impacts,
and wage and employment conditions in urban labor markets."

This study uses ordinary least squares

migration rate from the most rural districts to Nairobi, (2) gross
migration rates from the most urban districts to Nairobi, (3) gross
migration rates from all districts to Nairobi, and (4) gross
interprovincial rates between the eight provinces of Kenya....The basic
hypothesis of the study is that people move from one locality to
another because of income differential between the two areas."
The
hypothesis is not confirmed, but other variables are found to have an
effect on migration. These variables include distance, educational
level, friends and relatives, and density (used as a proxy for
urbanization).

rural exodus was primarily the result of entire families leaving rather
than individuals leaving to relieve the pressure on large families.
"Moreover, the migration behavior of rural families seems to have been
determined by their socio-economic situation, in a process wherein
variables related to family structure and fertility did not have a

1971-80 are examined. Statistics are presented for net population loss
and gain for communities of different sizes; it is found that the rate
of migration remained relatively stable for this period.
Factors
affecting this flow are discussed, including the economic and cultural
attractiveness of cities, family reasons, and environmental factors.
The author concludes that an equalization of living and working
conditions between countryside and city is required to avert possible
detrimental effects of future migration.

"This paper reports
findings from analyses of subnational variations in the extent and
timing of the reversal in [U.S.] migration flows between metropolitan
and nonmetropolitan areas, and the contribution of interdivisional
exchanges to the reversal in flows. The more urbanized and
industrialized divisions experienced within-state migration flows
favoring nonmetropolitan areas as early as the 1935-40 period.
Divisions that were highly metropolitan tended to send disproportionate
numbers of metropolitan-to-nonmetropolitan migrants to divisions that
had low metropolitan concentrations." Data are from the Public Use
Microdata records from the 1940, 1960, 1970, and 1980 censuses.
Findings based on data concerning commuting patterns "indicate that
nonmetropolitan areas adjacent to metropolitan areas are probably
residential in character, similar in many respects to suburbs
surrounding central cities. These results are consistent with a
developmental model of urbanization/metropolitanization in which the
pattern of population redistribution shifts from centralization to
deconcentration."
This is a revised version of a paper originally
presented at the 1985 Annual Meeting of the Population Association of
America (see Population Index, Vol. 51, No. 3, Fall 1985, p.
