The impact of economic and ethnic factors on migration in
Kenya is examined using data from the 1979 census and the Kenya
Fertility Survey of 1977-1978 and ordinary least squares multiple
regression analysis. The results indicate that fertility and child
mortality are positively related to migration. Most migrations are of
short distance, and ethnic linkage effects vary by tribal group. Other
factors considered include income, land supply, and
education.

The author
examines patterns of internal and international migration in western
Mexico. "Drawing on data from different sources and statistics, the
essay demonstrates the importance of both types of migration, the
changes in endogenous and exogenous factors which have affected the
life and the migratory patterns of the population of this region. The
migratory circuit being a flow not only of persons, but of goods and
capital as well, the cities, specifically that of Guadalajara, have a
strategic importance. They fulfill various functions and have become
the backbone of the migratory process: they serve as centers for
attracting and 'hosting' internal migrants as well as places of origin
for other migrants; jumping-off points for international migrants; and
the milieu in which many returning migrants of rural origin
settle."

"The objective of this research is formulation and testing of an
interactive contextual model of migration. The model includes both the
family and community levels, with interactions within and between these
levels. This model was tested with data from a sample survey conducted
in 1980 and 1982 among 619 families in 25 communities in the coastal
areas of Ilocos Norte, the Philippines." Interactive effects at the
family and community levels are illustrated with case study materials
collected in 1985 in village-level studies

This volume contains 22 essays on
historical aspects of migration, which were presented at a session of
the Eighth International Economic History Congress held in Budapest,
Hungary, in 1982. The session was entitled History, Models and Methods
in Migration Research. The essays are divided into four substantive
sections. The first section concerns migration to Southeast Asia,
Indonesia, and in India. The next section contains 10 essays on
migration from Europe to the United States and Argentina. Three essays
on migration to towns follow, with examples of Philadelphia, Chicago,
and Czechoslovakia. A section on sources and methodology is then
presented, including the use of British passenger lists, U.S.
computerized census samples, and French and Italian sources. Most of
the studies are concerned with nineteenth-century
migration.

The author sets forth criteria for classifying population
movements and develops a typology as a step toward internationally
standardized classifications and definitions of all spatial movements
of population. Focusing on Europe, he discusses the availability and
reliability of migration statistics as well as the relative strengths
and weaknesses of population registers, other administrative and police
sources, censuses, and sample surveys in collecting migration data.
Attention is then given to current trends in international migration,
including the increasingly blurred distinction between sending and
receiving countries. It is noted that "the overall situation is linked
to a more complex labour market, to increasing domestic political and
social tension and to growing demographic pressure in the developing
countries." Evidence is presented of growing residential mobility
within countries, and underlying factors are discussed. Finally,
planning and policy issues are considered.

considered include: "How does the economic development change the
intensity of migration flows in short and long distance migrations?
What kinds of migrations are especially sensitive to economic changes?
How do these changes come about?" Migration patterns between West
Germany and other European countries are analyzed in comparison with a
time series of economic parameters, such as the labor market.
Migrations between three West German cities and their surrounding
regions are also analyzed in comparison with a different series of
parameters, including new housing construction.

In the introduction to this special issue on temporary worker
programs, the author defines the term temporary worker and reviews
worldwide research, writings, and policies to date pertaining to
temporary workers. Labor market and economic effects,
socio-administrative conditions, and effects on the labor-sending
societies are discussed. Noting that mutually exclusive arguments are
presented within one issue of the journal, the author introduces the
authors of the individual articles and their subjects. It is
determined that the temporary worker phenomenon is now global and that
having an understanding of these workers is increasingly central to
understanding key socioeconomic and political processes affecting
modern industrial and nonindustrial societies.

Survey, part of the Philippine Migration Study. The survey involved
interviews with 1,484 residents of Honolulu who had emigrated from the
Ilocos region after 1965. The study involves the use of a
value-expectancy model of decision-making behavior that measures
expectations of achieving major goals in different locations. The
importance of noneconomic factors affecting migration is
noted.

changing demographic and socioeconomic impacts of immigration over time
are then analyzed, as well as the process of immigrant integration into
the Venezuelan population. The economic impact of immigration since
1961 is also considered. A final chapter recommends what current

"This article explores the
relationship between government expenditure and labor immigration in
the Arab Gulf states. This relationship was close and positive during
the rapid growth of the 1970s. Using Kuwait as a case study, trends in
immigrant labor movements over the period 1981-85 are considered in
detail. This analysis shows that the current economic downturn,
reflecting the collapse of the world oil prices, has not resulted in
the large scale re-export of foreign labor which was envisaged. The
reasons for this foreign labor retention are considered and the authors
speculate on future migration trends in the
region."

years to indicate the overall labor market impact of temporary worker
flows and this measure is employed in an analysis of unpublished data
from Employment and Immigration Canada. The analysis reveals that a
significant and growing proportion of employment authorizations are
exempted from governmental procedures which link the admission of
temporary workers to the Canadian labor market." Reasons for these
exemptions and policy implications are discussed.

The significance
of guest workers is examined for six Western European countries. It is
found that "the dynamics of the migratory process led to family
reunification and settlement, against the original intentions of the
workers, employers and states concerned. The recruitment of
guest-workers stopped after 1974, but many migrants stayed on, becoming
permanent ethnic minorities, in a situation of economic and social
crisis. It is argued that guest-worker systems inevitably lead to
permanent migration in the long run, and that it is better to plan for
orderly settlement through appropriate policies."

These data are highly seasonal and within-year border patrol

and demand variables affect apprehensions and that agricultural factors
appear to be important determinants of the variations in apprehensions.
The results are similar to those of earlier

Population flows among Caribbean countries and
selected areas bordering the Caribbean since the 1500s are discussed.
The plantation economy and labor migrations from the colonial period
through the nineteenth century are briefly considered. Attention is
then given to the first half of the twentieth century and the use of
migrant contract laborers in major projects such as the Panama Canal
construction. Migration patterns since 1950 are then examined, and
countries are identified as sending and receiving countries. It is
noted that "during the last three decades, the flows became more
diversified, and concerned practically all the countries of the
Caribbean basin. Some had historical roots and were relatively
independent from short-term variations, while others were caused by
economic or political breaks which could not be
predicted."

University Microfilms International: Ann Arbor, Michigan. In Eng.
The author uses data for the Sudan to develop the argument that
international migration may be detrimental to the sending country. The
focus is on long-term productivity changes between the center and
periphery as a result of migration. Two models are described. "The
causal model explains the movement of human resources in terms of
deteriorating terms of trade, the endemic surplus labor situation in
the periphery and productivity improvements in the centers. The impact
model considers productive capacity enhancement as a function of:
growth of the Northern centers, investment, emigration, remittances,
and terms of trade."

research on migration involving West Germany during the last 30 years.
Following a discussion of concepts and terminology, the author outlines
three phases of immigration to West Germay and cites selected works.
The first phase is that of rapid economic growth from 1955 to 1972,
when the flow of immigrant workers responded to production
fluctuations. The second is the period from 1973 to 1979, when
economic growth slackened and the socioeconomic burden of immigrants
became more evident. The third covers the years since 1979, when
formerly temporary migration has become permanent and integration of
immigrants into society has become a primary concern. Suggestions are
made for future research on the subject.

the interior migrants fit a hierarchical migrant model: they move up
the urban hierarchy from U.S. rural areas to towns and cities,
experiencing substantial job mobility at first, but little after
reaching the urban sector. Border migrants fit a shuttle migrant
model: they return to the same job and place year after year,
experiencing little or no spatial and occupational mobility, although
they tend to hold somewhat higher status jobs."

Official figures illustrate that since the 1970s the major current has
been toward the Middle East and North Africa, specifically to Libya,
Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Socioeconomic and political factors
influencing Turkish migration are discussed. The earlier migrants to
Western Europe and later migrants to the Middle East and North Africa
are compared on the bases of sex ratio, settlement and duration of
stay, remittances, motives, and individual migrants versus organized
groups of workers. Turkish migration to Australia is also
discussed

"This dissertation studies the economic
determinants and consequences of international undocumented migration
of workers, with particular reference to the Mexico-U.S. case....The
basic methodological tool used is a general equilibrium model where
migration is made endogenous via a migration decision function." Wage
differentials, the probability of apprehension, an "illegality tax"
placed on migrants' wages by employers, and the size of the migrant
population at the place of destination are taken into account in the
migration decision function. A simulation model using data for
California is constructed, and employment, income, and productivity
effects of migration are assessed. "From a policy perspective, the
analysis suggests that from a society's point of view, the optimal U.S.
immigration policy regarding Mexico is the establishment of a large
guest-workers program."

"This article draws on
prior theory and research in the fields of sociology, economics, and
anthropology to specify six basic propositions about international
migration. These are examined using data specially collected from
migrants in four Mexican communities. The migration process is divided
into four phases corresponding to different events in the migrant
career--departure, repetition, settlement, and return--and logit
probability models are estimated to study the determinants of each
event." The procedure enables the links in the migration process to be
identified and supports the concept of this migration as a dynamic
social process with a strong internal momentum

and demographic characteristics of undocumented immigrants is
reviewed....The various arguments concerning the economic and social
consequences of undocumented immigration are reviewed, together with
the contradictory evidence used to support them. Finally, the
consequences of research findings for policy alternatives are presented

French immigration to Canada from 1881 to 1980 is examined.
It is noted that "in one century, about 144,000 Frenchmen emigrated to
Canada. The movement, which was very limited until 1900, spread until
1914, collapsed between 1914 and 1945 and then soared after the Second
World War. Until 1914 Frenchmen went mainly to the West; since 1945
they have gone principally to Quebec." The history of Canadian
immigration policy during the past century is also

have experienced net annual emigration continuously since the 1960's.
In 1978 and thereafter, however, the volume of annual net emigration
for El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua increased to as much as 15
times previous levels. And as a result neighboring countries

Poitiers, France. In Fre. with sum. in Eng; Spa.
Immigration to
Venezuela is examined using census data with the focus on the period
1971-1981. A brief overview of trends since the beginning of the
twentieth century is first presented. The analysis indicates that
"immigration to Venezuela is clearly of a short-term nature. Flows
follow job opportunities and adjust to the labour market and to the
financial capacity of the exchange market. The large increase of
migratory movements to Venezuela in the 1970's is characterized by a
diversification of their places of origin and by a greater instability.
To a large extent, the migrants are illegal, especially those coming
from Colombia and the Caribbean islands. Because of the crisis of the
early 1980's, which is now worsened by the down trend of both oil
prices and the U.S. dollar, Venezuela has become less attractive to
immigrants, particularly from neighbouring countries." The authors
observe that migrants in Venezuela are not well integrated and may
depart, disrupting the labor supply in certain technical and
specialized occupations.

"This paper examines the
demographic, religious, and socioeconomic differences between
immigrants and political refugees or exiles from Iran [in Los Angeles,
California]. Data are from the 1980 U.S. Census Public Use Microdata
Sample for the 1975-80 and the pre-1975 Iranian immigrant cohorts.
While the pre-1975 cohort includes mainly Iranians who came to the
United States for study, for a visit, or for work, the 1975-80 cohort
is made up of these types of immigrants as well as exiles or political
refugees who fled Iran after the 1978 revolution." Attention is given
to minority, demographic, educational, occupational, and income
characteristics of the 1975-1980 and the pre-1975 immigration
cohorts
It is found that "the 1975-80 cohort includes a higher
proportion of religious minorities and is much more balanced with
respect to age and sex distribution than the pre-1975 cohort." In
addition, the more recent cohort of migrants from Iran was found to
have lower educational attainment, social class, and income level than
the earlier group.

countries. Studies in Population, Labour Force and Migration:
Project Report, No. 9, Feb 1985. [vi], 49 pp. Pakistan Institute of
Development Economics [PIDE]: Islamabad, Pakistan. In Eng.
The
author considers the costs and benefits for Pakistan of the large-scale
emigration that has taken place in the 1970s. A number of official and
other published estimates of migration flows are used. "The first
section presents the evidence on the stock of Pakistani migrants abroad
and analyses the migrant out-flow in terms of the area of origin. In
the second section the skill composition of migrant labour is
discussed, which is followed by an analysis of the effect of migration
on the domestic labour market. Next, the social consequences of
migration have been analysed; and the last section looks at the
evidence on the volume of workers' remittances and on their utilization
and impact on the economy."
The author observes that in the rural
agricultural sector, emigration has reduced unemployment, and
repatriated earnings have led to innovation and modernization in
agricultural techniques and increased productivity. In urban centers,
shortages of skilled workers as a result of emigration have outweighed
the potential benefits of remittances increasing domestic savings and
investment pools. The author notes the discrepancies between the
private gains and social costs resulting from emigration as well as the
need for comprehensive policies to manage labor migration and
remittance flows.

An
analysis of the foreign population in Kuwait shows that foreign
nationals make up 60 percent of the population and 78 percent of the
labor force in Kuwait. The implications of these figures for the
Kuwaiti labor force are discussed by analyzing the occupational
structures of Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis. "Structural analysis of the
labor force indicates that 62 percent of Kuwaiti males are concentrated
in administrative and service occupations while their percentage in
sales and production work has declined during 1970-80. This
demonstrates the need for reorienting educational/training programs and
changing Kuwaiti attitudes towards manual work to ensure the
realization of the 'Kuwaitization' process, and balance the nationals
with foreign nationals."

population size and in absolute numbers, is lower than it was at the
turn of this century. Present-day immigrants, like immigrants always
and everywhere, tend to be youthful adults who have not yet attained
full family size. Contemporary immigrants tend to be substantially
more concentrated in the professional and highest education groups than
the native labor force, with a slightly higher concentration in the
lowest education groups as well. Immigrant groups generally have
higher labor force participation than native groups. Their fertility
is no higher, and in most groups is lower, than the

Thomas. The causes of international labor migrations--a

20, No. 4, Winter 1986. 835-55 pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
The author first studies the reasons why people migrate using a
neoclassical approach concerning income differentials. He tests this
approach empirically and demonstrates its limits. A
demand-determination approach based on human capital theory is then
outlined to overcome these limits and to take into account restrictive
immigration controls. Migration from Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal,
and Turkey to the European Community destination countries is examined.
It is concluded that "the demand for immigrants in the destination
country is the decisive condition for the phenomenon of international
labor migration, and the supply of migration-willing workers is only a
necessary condition."

"This note examines and extends the
following two propositions: that finite international factor movements
are beneficial to the nationals of the destination country but
detrimental to those left behind in the source country and that
marginal movements do not have such welfare effects. Using some newly
developed techniques, the propositions are found to be valid,
irrespective of the number of goods and factors, if the economy starts
from the autarky position. When only one factor can flow, the gain of
the nationals (loss of those left behind) will be positively dependent
upon the amount of inflow (outflow). However, if goods trade and/or
factor flow are initially present, the propositions are in general not
true."

"As a result of the increase in regional mobility during the nineteenth
century, clearly defined patterns of migration developed involving
movement from the peripheral areas to the center....In the process of
this development, various sub-systems of migration appeared. Of these,
migration from one region to another was more important than that
within the same region...and Vienna, the Imperial capital, became the
center of migration." Migrants are studied by place of origin and
distance traveled and by social class and demographic characteristics.
Employment, segregation, and the integration of urban migrants are also
considered.

estimates an interactive contextual model of migration in Ilocos Norte,
the Philippines. It focuses on how contextual features alter the
effects of family class status and community development level on the
family's migration decisions. The model estimates show a curvilinear
relation between class status and migration, but the pattern differs in
accordance with the prevalence of migration from the community in the
past. In addition, the effects of socioeconomic development and
agricultural commercialization patterns vary with context. These
results demonstrate the importance of using interactive models for
analyzing the contextual influences on migration."

"This paper
assesses the impact of development efforts on the various forms of
population mobility in Thailand and China. In Thailand, rural
development efforts, more investment in small urban places, and
improved transport and communication networks have all contributed to a
decrease in rural-rural migration and an increase of movement between
urban places. Evidence also suggests that circulation between rural
and urban places has increased. In China, where permanent migration is
tightly controlled, development policies have led to a vast increase in
temporary movement. Especially important has been institution of the
agricultural responsibility system and investment in small city and
town development, but urban reforms have also fostered increased labor
mobility." It is concluded that implementing policies that foster
temporary migration may enable these countries to adjust effectively to
changing economic situations.

consideration of the socioeconomic factors affecting migration and of
the impact of migration. It is illustrated using the example of the
migration of young people from small towns to major urban
centers.

The authors examine aspects of migration among the elderly in
Canada using micro data from the Public Use Sample files of the 1971,
1976, and 1981 censuses. Section 2 describes briefly this data file,
before Section 3 introduces a few generalities about the intensity and
the spatial features of elderly migration in Canada. The
characteristics of the elderly migrants themselves are examined in
Section 4 by means of an analysis that emphasizes the influence of
various socioeconomic traits on (1) their propensity to change
municipalities and (2) the breakdown of intermunicipal migrants by type
of destination....The rest of the paper [is] devoted to the causes and
consequences of elderly migration [and] focuses on just interprovincial
migration. Section 5 presents a statistical analysis of how the
elderly's personal attributes interact with ecological factors in
determining migration streams between provinces. Finally...Section 6
examines the impact of interprovincial migration on the socioeconomic
composition of the elderly population in the sending and receiving
provinces."

"This paper uses a simple mathematical model and data about
interprovincial migration in Canada to show that net migration is
usually a misleading proxy for place utility whereas the steady state
regional population shares, derived from the observed interregional
out-migration rates, are a more reasonable reflection of the place
utilities of the system. Reasons for the continued dependence on net
migration in migration research are also provided."

"Multidimensional scaling
technique was applied to the Brazilian migration matrix in order to
identify the functional regions of the nation, using the 1970 census
data for males. The results obtained from three types of proximity
matrices confirmed the key roles of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso as the
core states in addition to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Substantial
circulation of migrants among the core states runs counter to the
popular notion about the Northeastern states as the major source of
labor in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. The Northeast [was] found to
consist of three groups of states: Maranhao, Piaui and Ceara showed a
stable clustering, but peripherally located, in all configurations;
and, the other two groups failed to form persistent regions across
configurations. Though limited in scope, the observed attraction of
Espirito Santo and Goias violated the widely held negative effect of
distance and deserves further investigation."

"This paper presents a
method for studying migration among male adults [in France] in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Observation is possible for
married men, their homes being known from their children's baptism and
their own and their wives' burial records, and in particular for the
notables of the province of Haute-Bretagne, for whom scholars have made
vast recensions of records from many parish registers. The method has
been tested on a small sample of the poorer gentry. Most of the adults
change parishes at least once in their lifetime, but there is little
migration outside a 7 km. radius. Within this radius, we find, after
four generations of migration, most of the descendants of a given
ancestor. Migration far afield and towards town is rare. The mobility
of this rural gentry is high in terms of movement from one parish to
another, but relatively low in terms of time and
space."

considered. Data are primarily from the 1961 and 1971 censuses, with
some additional census figures back to 1901 to illustrate trends. It
is found that there is more intrastate than interstate migration; Bihar
and Kerala are out-migrating states and West Bengal is an in-migrating
state; and interstate migration is, with some variations, primarily
male, while females migrate more within the three
states.

residence are used to examine intersectoral flows. Although no
significant increase in overall migration in India is apparent, the
impression of stability must be qualified; important and increasing
forms of mobility, particularly intra-urban, are not captured by the
census, and there are salient changes in the pattern of movement. For
example, a stagnation in rural-to-rural movement, a swing toward
rural-to-urban migration, a marked increase in female participation,
and a relative decline in short-term movement are observed. The role
of migration in urban growth, the reasons for migration, and linkages
between migration and economic change since the 1960s are

"This paper...will explore various dimensions of
the association of migration with metropolitanization, within the
context of regional socioeconomic development during the 1935-40 period
of U.S. history. The general hypothesis to be evaluated is that
patterns of migration within and between the metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan sectors and between regions, and migrant/nonmigrant
differentials in education attainment are reflective of historical
differences in socioeconomic development and settlement patterns." The
data are primarily from the Public Use Microdata files of the 1940 and
1980 U.S. censuses. It is found that "gross migration flows during the
1935-40 period, and changes reflected in the 1975-80 period are
consistent with the mobility transition hypothesis, giving support to
the idea that developmental impulses, operating primarily through the
metropolitanization process, structure the context within which
migration occurs....Results also indicate that differences in the
socioeconomic structure of functionally distinct geographic aggregates
are reflected in migrant/nonmigrant differences in education
attainment."

"Results based on an analysis of
[U.S.] migration streams involving the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
sectors and covering a longer time interval than previously possible
indicate that efforts to describe changes in the volume of movements
connecting these sectors could benefit from greater attention to other
related streams as well as existing patterns of population
concentration. The metropolitanization process continues but is now
being affected substantially by regional redistribution trends.
Regional differentials in the size of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
migration streams are declining but are still substantial, so an
equilibrium balance between the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
sectors will probably not occur in the immediate future."

"Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics common to selectivity
studies were used for the comparisons. The findings showed that
distance made little difference. Controlling for destination, we
matched and compared the characteristics of older migrants from states
of different distances. We looked at those coming to Arizona from
California, Illinois, and Ohio, to the New York City suburbs from
Pennsylvania and Florida, and to Chicago from Michigan and California.
Repeatedly the story was the same. Distance was not an important

sum. in Eng.
The author surveys the settlement of Parana, Brazil,
from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries using a variety of
historical and published sources. It is found that "during the first
centuries, the colonizers were few and settled on the coast. Animal
husbandry, mate and pinewood extraction and subsistence farming were
the main forms of economic activity practised by the three ethnic
groups present during this first stage: enslaved natives, Portuguese
and blacks. During the latter half of the eighteenth century, the
colonization, for geo-political reasons, spread inland. The
colonizers, who were mostly born in Brazil, settled in the south of the
colony where they developed farming activities. In the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries, the arrival of European and Asian
immigrants, combined with internal migration streams, modified the
ethno-economic structure of the region. In the north, tropical
coffee-farming had very strong demographic effects: the population of
Parana grew almost sevenfold between 1940 and
1960."

Donald J. Further evidence on economic and noneconomic
reasons for turnaround migration. Rural Sociology, Vol. 52, No. 1,
Spring 1987. 108-18 pp. Bozeman, Montana. In Eng.
The author
examines reasons for turnaround migration in 13 nonmetropolitan
counties in Kansas using survey data collected in 1981 and 1982. Both
metropolitan and nonmetropolitan origin migrants are included. The
findings are compared with those from the 1979 North Central study
conducted by James D. Williams and Andrew J. Sofranko. "Economic
reasons dominated for both metro and nonmetro Kansas migrants, and
environmental/quality-of-life reasons were significantly different for
the two migrant groups, although at much lower levels than in the North
Central study. Conclusions and implications are
discussed."

"This article aims primarily at an understanding of the
marginalization process and the various strategies of adaptation and/or
migration developed by the population of [a] predominantly farming
community in one part of Haiti." The focus is on out-migration from
the rural community of Petit Goave; the data are from a variety of
surveys of the region, undertaken primarily in the 1970s. According to
this study, the concentration of productive and export-oriented
activities in the capital city and the reduction of arable land have
transformed economic and social structures in Haiti and have made
migration an attractive option for the rural population. Education is
seen as a factor exacerbating the decline of the rural, agricultural
sector

"It
is widely believed that structural variables such as inequitable land
distribution, lack of rural employment opportunities, and rural-urban
wage and amenity gaps influence population movements in developing
countries. Yet quantitative evidence is scant. In this paper a
multilevel model is used to investigate the effects of individual-,
household-, and areal-level factors on rural-urban out-migration in the
Ecuadorian Sierra. Data from a detailed survey carried out in
1977-1978 and from government macro-areal statistics are used to
investigate factors affecting the out-migration of youths aged 12-25.
Preliminary conclusions are presented on the usefulness of multilevel
models in studying migration and policy implications for Ecuador."

An
analysis of migration among the rural population of China for reasons
associated with marriage is presented. Data are from a sample survey
undertaken in the outskirts of Beijing in 1982. The authors conclude
that marriage is a major cause of rural-urban migration, particularly
among women aged 20-29. They suggest that traditional attitudes toward
marriage have helped to reinforce a marriage market in Chinese cities
that creates a demand for young women from rural areas.

The extent of counterurbanization in the
Federal Republic of Germany is analyzed. The arguments for and against
the existence of counterurbanization in the country are first reviewed.
The authors then apply four interrelated tests to the available data
that confirm a trend toward counterurbanization starting in the
1960s

"The model
presented in this dissertation emphasizes the institutional and
structural changes that lead to a continuous relocation of rural
populations in developing countries. The model takes into account the
potential dynamics that link migration rates to growth performance,
rural-urban migration to shifts in the derived demand for labor, and
the interaction between rural and urban labor markets and the forces
behind supply and demand in these markets." The general conclusion of
the study holds that excessive, detrimental, rural-urban migration can
be controlled only by altering those factors that encourage it and that
such a goal should be a concern of development planners

This
study of rural-urban migration in Uttar Pradesh, India, focuses on
adult male migration and is based on interviews in 1983-1984 with 847
migrant and 324 nonmigrant males in two cities. The socioeconomic and
demographic characteristics of migrants and nonmigrants, mobility
patterns, reasons for migrating, problems of city life and migrants'
living conditions, remittances, and intentions to return home are
studied. Based on the findings, the author makes suggestions for
framing future migration policy.

The
migration process is examined as an example of how public policy and
individual preferences frequently conflict. "The present article
provides a selective review of how socioeconomic development-related
institutional policies influence people's migration behavior, both in
sociohistorical and contemporary contexts. The article traces in
general terms the evolution of various development policies and their
differential impacts on migration behavior." The author notes that
industrial development has generally encouraged rural-urban migration
and that the policies adopted in developing countries to control such
migration have generally failed.

This study is concerned with the impact of rapid
in-migration to metropolitan areas on the quality of life. "Drawing on
a Durkheimian perspective, this paper examines the effects of in- and
out-migration over the period 1975-80 on rates of suicide, violent
crime, property crime, and divorce for all U.S. SMSAs. The results
indicate that rapid in-migration is associated with high rates of all
four of these social problems. The magnitude of these effects rivals
those of more traditional explanations such as population size and
density."

Trends in rural-urban migration and the extent of urban-rural
remittances in developing countries are analyzed. "Remittances by
migrants, along with migration itself, are elements in a
migrant-family's intertemporal contractual arrangement. We discuss the
reasons why the migrant and his family voluntarily enter into a
mutually beneficial contractual arrangement with each other--rather
than with a third party--and we identify conditions under which the
contractual arrangement is self-enforcing." An example of observed
remittance behavior across individual migrants in Botswana is
provided
