This textbook,
designed for students at the undergraduate level, examines migration
both as a product of rational, individual decisions and as a result of
strong social determinants. Particular attention is given to labor
market issues and to the role of the state in developing migrant
policy. The geographic focus is on the United Kingdom.
"Examples
are also drawn from France, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Australia and the
USA to demonstrate the characteristics of internal and external
migration, urbanization, the formation of ethnic communities, return
migration, the problems of migrant identity and the extent to which
migration is a universal dynamic of social change. The author
concludes by taking an overall view of the impact of migration on the
social structure and its challenge to the 'settled'
communities."

"The questions asked in many population censuses on
place-of-residence at one or several fixed past dates allow the number
of migrants during a specific period of time to be calculated.
However, the questions asked in the censuses are retrospective, so that
the migrants who died or emigrated abroad during the period considered
are not included. There is no way of estimating the number of migrants
who emigrated abroad; on the other hand, a simple method is available
to estimate the number of migrants who died. In this paper this method
of estimation is applied to data from the Italian censuses of 1971 and
1981."

"In this endeavor to
incorporate net migration in a model of population growth, we have
found that when net maternity rates are held constant, birth
trajectories can be traced in several examples. We have basically
experimented with (a) unchanging age-specific net migration rates and
also with (b) constant number of net migrants with unchanging age
composition. In most cases, the birth trajectory approaches an
exponential pattern of growth with two interesting exceptions. When
the intrinsic rate of growth is negative, the population approaches
stationarity in the second example. Also a linear trend is found in
the same example, when the net reproduction rate is equal to
one."

Literature on migration in the United Kingdom during

literature has largely focused on the topic of race relations. Three
perspectives on the study of migration are identified: "the political
economy of racism, the sociology of ethnic relations and an eclectic
body of literature...[defined] as a sociology of migration, though it
is dominated by a structuralist perspective."

author argues that current high levels of international migration are
primarily the result of the declines in mortality that have occurred in
developing countries over the past 50 years. These resulted in a
growth of population of working age that far exceeds the absorption
capacity of developing economies. The author suggests that the
economic integration of major areas of out-migration into the economic
systems of the industrialized world is the only lasting solution to the
problems posed.

The authors examine the economic
consequences of recent immigration to the United States using official
data and published studies. After consideration of the historical
perspective to this migration, attention is given to the impact of
immigrants on the U.S. labor market, the assimilation of immigrants,
and the immigrants' use of transfer income. The authors conclude that
"(i) The aggregate impacts of foreign workers on the earnings and
employment of native workers are quite small, but differ for selected
population subgroups and high ethnic density labor markets. (ii)
Immigrants who arrived during the 1970s are less skilled than earlier
arrivals, and their earnings will remain substantially below those of
natives throughout their working lives. (iii) The evidence on
immigrants' receipt of public assistance income is
inconclusive."

"Since 1983 more people have come to live in the
United Kingdom than have left and the balance of international
migration has shown an increasing gain. Previously there was usually a
loss--of a fluctuating size. In terms of the gross flows the main
change has been a drop in the number of people leaving the United
Kingdom; recently these have been about 170 thousand annually whereas
twenty years ago the figure was over 300 thousand. On the other hand,
the numbers coming to the UK, which includes those returning after a
period abroad, have been stable at around 200 thousand for many years;
however in 1985 this number rose to 232 thousand....This article looks
at these changes in terms of countries involved, citizenship, country
of birth, age, sex and occupation of the
migrants."

The author
identifies two factors contributing to the increase in the number of
illegal migrant workers in the United States. The first is the complex
system of legal immigration, which contributes to massive evasion. The
second is the preference by many employers for hiring illegal aliens.
The author concludes that the proposed changes in U.S. immigration
laws, even though they include employer sanctions, are likely to prove
as ineffective as previous measures adopted in several states some 10
years ago that also penalized employers hiring illegal aliens. It is
suggested that the economic pressures leading to large-scale labor
immigration will prove stronger than political pressures to control
such immigration.

Emigration from the region is shown to have peaked during the 1960s,
with a marked decline in fertility following in the 1970s and 1980s.

"In this
paper we state and prove several results which may arise as a result of
international migration taking place under asymmetric information. We
note that whereas under symmetric information several distinct skill
groups along the skill continuum may migrate, under asymmetric
information there will only be one distinct migratory group along the
skill continuum; that asymmetric information will not increase and may
decrease the top skill level migrating; and that devices which tend to
restore informational symmetry can give rise to interesting patterns
and welfare implications of migration." Two theoretical examples are
given. "First, in the presence of signalling, a U shaped pattern of
migration with respect to skill may emerge. Second, an increase in the
welfare of the low skill migrant workers can occur if eventual
discovery is introduced."

evolved between those areas under British control, which imported labor

The
authors examine Turkish labor migration to Western Europe prior to 1973
and to the Middle East since that date. "The growth, organization and
characteristics of these two phases in Turkish migration history are
compared and contrasted. Particular emphasis is paid to the patterns
of migrant worker origin and rates of emigration in the two periods.
During the period 1961-73 the pattern of migration was dominated by the
metropolitan and developed areas of Western Turkey. The re-direction
of migration to Saudi Arabia, Libya and Iraq has been accompanied by a
contraction and eastward shift in the main areas of migrant origins.
Developments in the pattern of migrant worker origins are related to
changes in the skill composition of the migrants and the mechanisms of
the migration process. Opportunities for the employment of Turkish
workers in the Arab world appear to have peaked and, although it has
produced some short-term financial advantages, it has had little effect
on Turkey's employment problems."

Migrations Internationales, Vol. 2, No. 1, Sep 1986. 9-35 pp. Poitiers,
France. In Fre. with sum. in Eng; Spa.
The author examines
migration patterns in Southern Europe during the 1970s and early 1980s,
noting particularly the reduction in migration northward from this
region. It is noted that "departure potential remains sizable in
certain areas of Portugal, Spain, Southern Italy, and most
particularly, of Turkey and Yugoslavia. Transoceanic migrations have
by no means ceased, as new flows of skilled labor have, since 1974,
gone towards Arab states endowed with petrol (oil) revenues. And yet,
the paramount fact is most surely the emergence and the proliferation
in Greece, Spain, and (especially) in Italy, of basically clandestine
(illegal) immigration. This movement is due to the convergence of
several factors: economic and demographic disparities between northern
and southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea, the sealing-off of
borders in Northwestern Europe and the 'carry-over' effect upon nations
of 'transit', the extent of the flow of refugees, and--most
particularly--the appeal provided by the development, in these new
employer countries, of an underground economy accompanied by the
extension into industry of the practice of 'undeclared' work. And
notwithstanding the series of rules lastly drawn up in Spain and in
Greece, such forms of clandestine (unauthorized) migration appear
highly likely--to say the least--to persist."

The authors review the results of
recent research on the economic impact of undocumented Mexican
immigration to the United States in order to provide the grounds for
assessing the consequences of recent legislation.
According to the
authors, "these studies provide consistent evidence that legal and
undocumented immigration hardly affects wages in U.S. labor markets.
That these are the overall effects across labor markets is fairly
certain. However, several issues are still unclear: (1) the dynamics
of the labor market itself in its ability or inability to expand in the
context of an increased supply of labor, (2) how individual workers in
particular occupations or industries are affected by increased
immigration, and (3) the impact on labor markets like Los Angeles where
immigration is particularly great."

"This dissertation examines the determinants of interstate
migration in the U.S. between 1965 and 1970. Data are brought to bear
on three problems: (1) the effects of the spatial location of the
origin and destination; (2) the effects that interdependencies among
states have on the flow of migrants; and (3) the determinants of
circulation and redistribution. Numerous propositions are examined,
which link the volume of state-to-state migration to economic
characteristics of states and to their spatial relationships with other
states."
While fundamental spatial regularities in migration are
noted, "no evidence is found at the macrolevel to sustain popular
microlevel hypotheses involving a rational calculation of the costs and
benefits of migration." Trends in 1975-1980 are briefly examined in
order to observe developments over time.

migrants: 1970-1983. Pub. Order No. DA8615207. 1986. 186 pp.
University Microfilms International: Ann Arbor, Michigan. In Eng.
The author uses Current Population Survey data to analyze the
selectivity of interregional migrants moving between the North and the
South of the United States for the periods 1970-1975, 1975-1980, and
1980-1983. Six selectivity characteristics--education, housing tenure,
race, occupation, age, and dual-worker families--are related to time-
and stream-specific migration.
The analyses show that "there was
little change in characteristics of migrants during the 1970's and a
substantial decrease in interregional migration in the early 1980's.
The data also show that, except for the migration of persons aged
65-74, there are relatively few differences in the rates of migration
in each stream....Persons with more education and renters are more
likely to have moved from one region to another." Economic and social
explanations for migration differentials are considered.

theory, it makes use of (1) the nested logit model as a theoretical

parameter estimation and statistical inference. Application to
interprovincial migration data over a 22-year period (1961-1962 to

well as an equalizer of economic opportunities."

1983. 44-59 pp. Chandigarh, India. In Eng.
The author studies "the
spatial mobility of Japanese women and its change mainly between 1970
and 1980, through the comparison with the men's mobility, [with respect
to] distance of movement, age patterns and labour force status,
using...population census data....Chief reasons for migration of the
women by types of migratory flows are examined using the data derived
from the survey on reasons for migration conducted in 1981 by the Land
Agency, the Government of Japan....It is found that the spatial
mobility of Japanese women is smaller than that of the men in long
distance movement but almost [the] same in short distance moves, and
that the age pattern of spatial mobility of the women is nearly [the]
same between the distances of movement."

Population
trends in Denmark from 1950 to 1980 are examined, with particular
attention to regional migration patterns from 1971 to 1980.
Theoretical aspects of population and migration are first reviewed.
Next, population trends as a whole in Denmark from 1950 to 1980 are
summarized. Regional population dynamics are then considered,
including fertility and mortality as well as migration. The factors
affecting migration are analyzed using a simple neoclassical model,
with particular reference to regional wage differentials and the labor
market.

"Approximations of the inter-state migration process in
India by three logically different models reveal surprisingly similar

unconditional semi-Markov model, and a conditional semi-Markov model
were used to approximate interstate migration. The authors find that
"if the pattern of migration noticed at the time of the 1961 census
continues, more than 60 percent of India's population would be located
in the states of Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and West Bengal

Eng.
The author uses the intra-urban migration model developed by
John Turner in the early 1960s to examine population movements in the
city of Arequipa, Peru. Ways in which the model applies in the case of
Arequipa are summarized, as are quantitative and qualitative
differences between the model and the Arequipa study. The Turner model
employs economic (industrialization level), demographic (level of
rural-to-urban migration), and political (housing policy) criteria to
distinguish a city's transitional phase. "According to these criteria
Arequipa clearly belongs to the mid-transitional phase. The pattern of
intra-urban migration, however, shows a mixture of Turner's mid and
late transitional phases (e.g. center acts still as a reception area,
but at the same time a major number of migrants settle directly in the
periphery)....The town itself has a limited industrial development and
hardly any municipal housing policy worth mentioning....It is above all
the demographic factor in combination with the town's morphology (a
large colonial-type center, etc.) which in the case of Arequipa
regulates the pattern of intra-urban migration."

aged 55 and over. The paper finds several similarities between the
sets of migration determinants, but several potentially important
differences emerge as well. Perhaps most striking among these are that
states with high earnings of workers tend to have high rates of
outmigration of elderly adults and that states with high levels of
unemployment have high levels of inmigration of elderly people--these
relationships are generally the opposite of those found for the
nonelderly." Data are from official sources and concern the period

dispersal patterns in two human populations of highland New

Chicago, Illinois. In Eng.
The authors develop a model to analyze
factors affecting sex-specific patterns in natal dispersal, or the
movement of individuals from place of birth to place of reproduction.
The method presented is based on a maximum-likelihood treatment of a
gravity model of dispersal and is applied to field data on two tribal
populations in Papua New Guinea
"The analyses suggest that males in
these populations are less likely to disperse than females, but more
likely to move to more-distant locations when they do disperse. The
dispersal of both sexes, however, is negatively density dependent
(i.e., individuals move away from areas of higher density before they
reproduce), with density affecting both sexes to about the same degree.
Extension of the model to include linguistic differences among
locations shows that male dispersal is more constrained by language
than is female dispersal."

Methods of
geographic analysis are applied to the examination of settlement
patterns in north-central Massachusetts in the period 1700-1850,
undertaken during the course of a project on the relationship between
population growth and genetic structure. "Three methods were used for
analysis: nearest neighbor analysis, analysis of settlement history,
and rank size analysis. Nearest neighbor analysis shows the area was
settled quickly, and the final distribution of populations was
patterned, suggesting a strong relationship of migration and distance.
Settlement history shows a pattern of early fissioning of towns, and
fusioning in later periods. Rank size analysis shows there was
heterogeneity of population size, but the area did not show a strong
tendency for the development of central places during this time period.
The potential genetic effects of settlement formation are
discussed."

"The study
investigates the departure from Australia of former settlers who
arrived during the 1980 calendar year. The 1980 settler arrival cohort
[consists] of 75,167 visaed migrants....The study has three main aims:
(i) to analyse departures from Australia of the 1980 settler arrival
cohort with a view to gauging the success of Australia's immigration
program in retaining settlers; (ii) to examine the retention rates of
settlers with respect to characteristics...including age, sex, marital
status, country of last residence, and settler eligibility category;
and (iii) to consider implications of the findings."
Australia's
present immigration policy is discussed, previous research on return
migration from Australia is summarized, and a detailed analysis of the
departure data is presented. "This study found that by August 1984,
12.4 per cent of non-refugee settlers who arrived in Australia during
1980 had departed permanently but that only 0.6 per cent of the 1980
refugee cohort had done so." These figures represent a decline in
immigrant departure rates since the 1960s and early 1970s. Small
differences in departure rates by place of birth, age, and marital
status, which may have demographic consequences if sustained over time,
are noted.

"Based on survey data on

test the empirical validity of the assumptions on which probabilistic

information transmission, expectations, inter-sector mobility,
intra-sector turnover, and the structure and determinants of earnings."
The author shows that the Delhi experience does not fit the migration
process postulated in the probabilistic models
"The book also
examines the economic selectivity and the articulated motives of
migrants....Urban-rural ties are also investigated. These ties are
strong and are manifested in regular visits and remittances by migrants
to family members living in the rural area. The determinants of
remittances and conjugal separation are analyzed using Tobit and logit
analysis respectively. The evidence suggests that the underlying
objective of migration is maximization of family rather than individual
benefits."

Jacques. A model of urbanization with nonlinear migration
flows. International Regional Science Review, Vol. 10, No. 3, Dec
1986. 221-42 pp. Morgantown, West Virginia. In Eng.
"This paper
seeks an appropriate specification of the migration exchange between
rural and urban areas so that the implied evolution of the degree of
urbanization agrees with its commonly observed S-shape. After
demonstrating that the gross migration flows between rural and urban
areas should be specified as nonlinear functions of the population in
the origin sector, the paper introduces a model in which such flows are
represented by gravity-type functional forms....[The model] can be used
to give insights into the time paths of three basic urbanization
variables: the urban-rural growth rate differential, the rural net
outmigration rate, and the urban net immigration rate. All take on a
zero value at the two extremes of the urbanization process and evolve
in between according to a bell-shaped curve. These findings are
illustrated by applying the model to data from the United States for
the period 1790-1980."

Ronald L.; Fisher, James S. Long-distance commuting and
population change in Georgia, 1960-80. Growth and Change, Vol. 18,
No. 1, Winter 1987. 44-65 pp. Lexington, Kentucky. In Eng.
The
authors investigate counter-urbanization and population change in
Georgia between 1960 and 1980 by examining commuting patterns. "The
immediate objective is to construct the entire set of commuting fields
of both large metropolitan areas to metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
employment centers. We then proceed to the relationship between
commuting from nonmetropolitan areas to all levels of Georgia's urban
hierarchy and population change in these nonmetropolitan settings. By
matching population growth and decline areas with explicit employment
ties...the nature of the population changes is much better understood."
Data from the 1960, 1970, and 1980 censuses for 581 Census County
Divisions (CCDs) in Georgia are analyzed. It is concluded that "most
nonmetropolitan growth taking place in Georgia is associated with
intensification of metropolitan commuting fields along with growth of
nonmetropolitan centers and their influence along the very periphery of
metropolitan spheres of employment influence. However, a significant
share of Georgia's nonmetropolitan population revitalization is
explained by growth independent of direct metropolitan influence. It
would appear then that nonmetropolitan growth centers are an important
part of the basis for population decentralization in Georgia.
Metropolitan spill-over alone cannot account for counterurbanization on
this portion of the American economic landscape."

India. In Eng.
A comparative analysis of rural-urban migration in
the three Indian states of Bihar, West Bengal, and Kerala is presented.
Data are primarily from the 1961 and 1971 censuses. The analysis
concentrates on five variables: age, sex, marital status, occupation,
and education. The primary conclusion is that regional differences are
so great as to preclude the development of a general theory of
rural-urban migration for the country as a whole.

"This study is concerned with patterns of mobility and
employment in North Sumatra Province [Indonesia]. Various forms of
population mobility are investigated with a view toward assessing their
causes and consequences. In this article, however, we are mainly
concerned with rural-urban migration. The analysis is based upon a
probability sample of 1,100 households selected from Medan, Pematang
Siantar and Tebing Tinggi."
The results indicate that "migration
patterns appear quite similar for all three cities. Migrants are
reasonably well educated and tended to be young, unmarried and
motivated by economic reason. Most migrants come from greater
distances, are frequently from urban origin and exhibit diversity of
ethnic backgrounds. Those who come to Medan are more certain of a job,
because urban informal employment is very significant there. In
general, most migrants appear to experience significant gains in their
social and economic status subsequent to moving."

"Migration and employment
characteristics are compared for two intermediate-sized cities in
Southeast Asia: Cebu, the Philippines, and Medan, Indonesia. Using
samples of household interviews as a source of information, the basic
characteristics of migrant heads of household in the two cities are
examined. In addition the nature of the employment and the search for
employment are analyzed and contrasted."
