84-505-3659-6. [1986]. 206 pp. Diputacion Provincial de Granada:
Armilla, Spain. In Spa.
The population dynamics of the Spanish
province of Granada in the twentieth century are analyzed, with
emphasis on the changing patterns of migration over time. Population
trends in the province are first reviewed. Chapters are next presented
on literacy and the labor force. The author then analyzes internal
migration to other areas in Spain and migration to other countries from
Granada. Consideration is also given to regional differences in
migration patterns within the province. In the final chapter, the
author summarizes the causes and consequences of
out-migration.

"In the presence of sticky wages, the emigration of skilled workers
from an area will directly reduce the number of unskilled jobs
available. Demand for locally produced and sold goods will
consequently fall and this may trigger further rises in unemployment
and declines in income."

Migration intentions in selected developing countries are examined.
Data are from a comparative migration study conducted between 1977 and
1979 in Thailand, Egypt, and Colombia. The focus of the study is on
the micro-level factors that have predictive value, such as personal
adaptability, access to information about places to live, and ability
to pay the costs of migration. The utility of a probit estimation
technique to examine the migration plans of a rural population is
shown.

"This paper is an attempt to identify the various forms of
migration in demography and the associated measurements adopted and
their limitation. In trying to conceptualize migration, we are in fact
trying to identify those who move or migrants and those who do not move
or non-migrants. Further it also involves a place or origin from where
the migration starts and a place of destination where it culminates."
The author discusses five aspects of territorial mobility, namely,
space, residence, time, activity changes, and individual and family
criteria.

Detroit, Michigan. In Eng.
"To date, comparative analyses of human
migration and population structure have focused on a single explanatory
variable--geographic distance. These models are expanded here by
extensions of the gravity model developed by geographers. This model
considers the number of migrants between populations to be a function
of geographic distance and the population sizes of recipient and source
populations. The generalized model allows detection of both negative
size dependence and positive size dependence. Hypothetical examples
are used to illustrate interpretations of the coefficients derived from
the model. Applications of the model are presented using data from
three culturally and ecologically distinct populations: horticultural
(New Guinea tribes), continental agricultural (historical
Massachusetts), and island agricultural (historical Aland Islands). For
all samples, the gravity model provides a better fit than simple
distance decay models. The results suggest that the most common
pattern of migration is from small to large populations."

economies. Its emphasis is on migration in the absence of uncertainty.
It will be shown that the existence and strength of a common family
goal, and the degree of the members' identification with that goal, can
lead to differences in the migration behaviors....The economic
importance of the family is discussed....[The author] develops a
deterministic model of family migration, and compares the behaviors of
a family with strong member identification with the common (family)
goal, and one with only weak such identification."

"The 1960s meant a historical turn of
Western Europe becoming an immigration area. Net immigration has been
concentrated to some of the prosperous Western European countries and
has been mainly determined by the demand of their particular national
labor regimes. The size of alien employment has been very differently
affected by the 1973 crisis, but a multiethnical society will remain a
novel feature of most Western European countries. Political abdication
from full employment and technological change makes a ghetto of
un(der)employment a likely prospect of a large part of the second
generation of recent immigrants into Western Europe."

This is a general review of
migration within and to the countries of Europe, excluding Eastern
Europe. "It is the overall thesis here that the common ascription of
the causal mechanism for change to the economic events following the
oil-price rise of late 1973 is far too much of an over-simplification
and that the influences altering the migration scene in the 1970s were
far more varied and complex." Problems concerning the available
sources of data on international migration are noted. The author
stresses the importance of familial and political factors in addition
to economic factors as determinants of migration.

problems which must be dealt with before commencing analysis of

Three issues are examined: the identification of migrant universes,
the definition of places of origin and destination of movers, and the
nature of the occupational classification which is used in the data
base on trans-Tasman migration. The substantive analysis of these
data, in terms of the insights they afford into the occupation
composition of trans-Tasman flows [will be] contained in the second

sections: "a comment on the main sources of the data; an historical
overview of migration to New Zealand from the Pacific with special
reference to Polynesians; an assessment of contemporary migration flows
and the changing contributions of international migration and natural
increase to growth in New Zealand's Pacific Island Polynesian
population; a description of the spatial distribution of Polynesians

Migration
flows between New Zealand and the island countries of the South Pacific

first. Migration trends since 1960 are then analyzed from four
perspectives: demographic, adaptation, dependency, and structural.
The paper concludes with a review of some likely future problems
associated with this migration, in that while the New Zealand economy
is in decline, the kinship network of Polynesians is likey to encourage
continuing immigration by those seeking greater economic
opportunities.

immigration and country of birth. Five periods of immigration are
included in the study: 1919-May 14, 1948, May 15, 1948-1960,
1961-1964, 1965-1971, 1972-1979, and 1980-1984." The results show that
although immigration from Europe has played a major role during this
period of time, it has decreased significantly in the 1980s "as a
result of several factors--restrictions on the number of Jews permitted
to leave the USSR, the establishment of the United States and Canada as
immigration destinations preferable to Israel, and the economic
recession in Israel...."

One is a 'colonizing' migration corresponding to a technical, military

with a demographic surge in the first group; the other is a
'social-capillarity' migration occurring when the first, 'colonizing'
group has completed its demographic transition and the second has
barely started. Two hypotheses concerning the outcome of this process
are presented." The need for international cooperation concerning
migration is stressed.

region preclude the possibility of creating sufficient new jobs to
absorb the number of new entrants into the labor force in the
foreseeable future. The result will be increasing pressures to migrate
to the United States over the next 30 years. The consequences for the
United States are reviewed, including the need to increase assistance
to the economies of the countries concerned, more family planning
assistance, and tougher measures to control immigration.

This article
examines Mexican migration into South Texas in recent decades and

An ethnographic approach is used in examining 56 permanent, immigrant
households. "This article introduces a hypothesis for explaining the
increase and permanency of household immigration." It is found that
"immigration often leads to downward social mobility with respect to
legal status of household members, type of employment, and property
ownership. Of particular note is the transformation of the household
from a single to a multiple worker unit, in response to agricultural
labor demands and growing employment opportunities in the
non-agricultural sector."

The authors examine trends in
migration between Australia and New Zealand since World War II using a
cost-benefit framework. "After a discussion of the salient features of
Trans-Tasman migration (trends, motivations of migrants, and
consequences), a four equation system is specified and estimated. One
equation models the rate of New Zealand emigration and another the rate
of emigration from Australia. A third equation models the probability
of a New Zealand emigrant choosing Australia as a destination while the
fourth equation models the corresponding probability of an Australian
emigrant settling in New Zealand. Return migration is an important
component of the flows. Moreover, the age composition of the
population and the real cost of air travel are found to be important
determinants of the emigration rates. The choice of Australia or New
Zealand is found to be sensitive to changes in the demand for labour in
the destination, while the attractiveness of Australia for New Zealand
emigrants depends also on the potential gain in earnings or
wages."

migrants are 'refugees'. Third, I will examine the provision made by
the United Kingdom and China for the future of Hong Kong and the public
reaction to it, and speculate on the problems which may arise for
'refugees' and others in Hong Kong up to and beyond 1997." He argues
that "the colonial government of Hong Kong is inherently weak and has
been unable to deal effectively with migration from China....[and] that
the [Sino-British] Agreement...gives to China direct and unfettered
governance of Hong Kong after 1997." The implications of Chinese
control for specific immigrant groups are considered.

The authors examine two
aspects of the labor market implications of immigration into Australia.
"The first is that immigrants face barriers to the attainment of their
full labour market potential, and thus experience relatively high
levels of unemployment and receive relatively low incomes. A
second...is that immigrants take jobs that unemployed Australians would
otherwise have had, a corollary being that it is inappropriate to
maintain high levels of immigration when many residents are
unemployed....It is found, first, that immigrants do not fare
particularly badly in terms of unemployment and incomes, although there
are some qualifications to this generalisation. Second...there is no
compelling evidence for the views that immigration has either increased
aggregate unemployment rates or reduced job prospects of unemployed
Australians." Recent official and previously published data are
used.

This is one in a series of country reports concerning the
relationships among migration, employment, and development in the South
Pacific Region; the present report is concerned with Australia. In
this report, the author attempts a demographic analysis of the
Australian population of Pacific Island origin. The inadequacy of
available data sources on this population is noted. The author
concludes that the Pacific Island population of Australia, which is
primarily from Fiji and Tonga, is relatively small and likely to remain
so in the foreseeable future.

"This report is one of a series of reports covering various
issues relating to migration, employment and development for each of
the countries in the South Pacific region and has been produced as part
of the Migration, Employment and Development in the South Pacific
project" which is administered jointly by the South Pacific Commission
and the International Labour Office. Data are for 1981-1983. Following
a description of the project, chapters are concerned with the
socioeconomic context of migration in the Pacific Islands region; an
overview of current patterns in population movement; reasons for
migration; and the social, economic, and geographic impact of
migration. A chapter on migration policy considers development
planning, migration control, rural and urban development, national
policy, and return migration. A chapter is also included on the
collection, sources, and quality of data on internal and international
migration and economic activities. In general, the South Pacific
region is studied as a whole; some data are provided for the individual
countries.

develops a simple two-country model of illegal immigration in an
attempt to examine the interaction among variables such as the stock of
migrant labor, the unemployment rates of the two economies, and the
rate of spending by the host country on the enforcement of its

of immigration policy and on its role in determining the nature of the
mechanism by which disturbances to the labor market of one country are
transmitted to that of the other in the short run and in the long

The results of a study of naturalizations in France are
presented. This study supplements one concerning 3,000 French couples
married between 1803 and 1832, whose patronymic descendants are
reconstructed. The analysis centers on 515 naturalization files
concerning people whose patronymic begins with the letters TRA for the
period 1851-1939 and the analysis of the births and marriages of their
children. The results indicate that by the second generation, 62
percent of the boys and 74 percent of the girls had married French
nationals and that social class generally improved following marriage,
indicating that assimilation of immigrants occurred
effectively.

the time-dimension more explicitly into account, our insights in the
dynamics of these relations can be [improved]....In connection with
international migration processes, this relationship appears to be
influenced by at least six different factors: 1) the sudden transition
from a rural to an urban, industrial environment; 2) the perspective of
the return to the homeland; 3) the confrontation with the culture of
the host country and with other migrants' cultures; 4) the religious,
ideological and political developments in the homeland; 5) the
reactions of the host country and the problems these create; 6) the
minority position of the migrants."

and industrialization is analyzed, and factors such as economic
conditions and political stability in the receiving countries, migrant
access to land ownership, discrimination against migrants, length of
stay, and reasons for leaving are examined.

D. R. Language skill, language usage and opportunity:
immigrants in the Australian labour market. Sociology, Vol. 21,
No. 2, May 1987. 253-74 pp. Solihull, England. In Eng.
"This paper
examines how immigrants' proficiency in speaking English, and
preference for retaining their native tongue as the language of the
home, affect their occupational attainment in the Australian labour
market. In particular, it investigates how well three approaches--an
assimilationist approach, a Neo-Marxist approach, and an ethnic
enclaves approach--account for differences among groups in how
important language usage and skill are in occupational mobility. The
data are drawn from the 1981 Census public use sample. The findings
show that monolingual English usage is of no benefit in the labour
market and that weak English skills harm the occupational opportunities
of some groups much more than others, a finding that is fully
consistent with the ethnic enclaves approach. Generalising from the
differences among Australian immigrant groups, the paper provides some
hypotheses about language effects among immigrants to industrialised
societies more generally, and develops some hypotheses about conditions
fostering development of ethnic enclaves in such
societies."

up to 1985 and are from official government sources. "The first
perceptible reactions to the collapse of oil prices seem to affect
in-flows of migrants more than out-flows. There has so far been no
return rush of expatriate workers from the Arab Gulf. Immigration is
maybe running dry, but foreigners already settled are likely to stay
for the long-term. However there are no signs [of]...the integration
of foreigners and Kuwaitis in a newly emerging society. Kuwait society
remains fundamentally dual, both from the economic point of view
(unequal participation in the labour force) and from the social one
(citizenship, marriage market, housing)."

Tabular data are presented on the foreign-born population in Venezuela
by age group, sex, country of birth, educational level, employment
status, household characteristics, marital status, profession, point of
entry, month of entry, and type of visa; number of migrants by
nationality, 1978-1982; foreigners by sex, age group, and nationality,

political matters relevant to immigrants and the policies governing
them. Part 2 focuses on the problems attributable to high
concentrations of foreigners, including the socioeconomic status of
immigrants, their place in the work force, unemployment, housing,
tensions and conflicts, and political problems. Attention is also
given to immigration restrictions, return migration, racism and
discrimination, urban renewal, schooling, and political participation.

"This study examined the process of international migration
that took place in Bangladesh as a result of the massive economic
development which occurred in the oil-exporting countries of the Middle
East during the decade of the 1970s. After reviewing the Middle
Eastern migration process in general, this study specifically examined
the effects of emigration on the class structure of rural Bangladesh."
It is argued that "because of the uncertainty of migration, its
incredible costliness, and the constant and inescapable bureaucratic
red tape one had to confront, emigration became a privilege open only
to the select few who had money, land, or other sources of
wealth....Through migration the wealthier class of the rural areas has
consolidated and strengthened its traditional land based class
position. Emigration, in reality, has functioned as a mechanism to
further reinforce the age-old class structure of rural
Bangladesh."

Frank E. Age at immigration and education: further
explorations. International Migration Review, Vol. 21, No. 1,
Spring 1987. 70-85 pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
Trends in
the relationship between age at immigration and educational attainment
are examined using age- and sex-specific data for Canada, 1881-1973.
"Although initial analyses of data, collected for the [1973] Canadian
Mobility Study, reveal a weak relationship between age at immigration
and educational attainment, inclusion of a measure of periodicity in
educational attainment models reveals age at immigration to have an
effect comparable to that of family size on educational attainment.
Given the strong periodicity effect, when age at immigration is
excluded from the analysis, it is argued that the status attainment
model, which best accounts for the educational attainment of
native-born Canadians, also accounts best for the educational
attainment of the foreign-born."

The
effects of asymmetric information on international migration are
explored, based on the assumption that foreign employers know less than
migrant workers about the workers' skills. A basic model of labor
mobility under asymmetric information is first presented. Two devices
to restore informational symmetry are then considered, namely,
signaling and revelation of true productivity through observation.
Substantial differences are found between the patterns of labor
mobility under asymmetric and symmetric information.

"This essay analyses some aspects of the in-migration flows to the
Gulf countries, coming from other Arab countries as well as developing
nations. Since the 80's, the Gulf countries have endorsed a
restrictive policy concerning manpower import, even though they still
need foreign workers. The Gulf countries pursue this policy as they
fear that the presence of millions of foreign labourers will create
social tension. The situation of the foreign labour force is uncertain
and is bound to the role of the middleman, the local kafil, and that of
the recruiting agencies. Rotation of foreign workers is very high. It
has reached the 10 million mark in ten years."

It is first noted that most estimates of

500,000 estimate and concludes that its empirical basis is
overestimated, possibly because of the difficulty of estimation, the
tendency to repeat unsubstantiated estimates, and the incorrect
interpretation of missing values."

87-50656. 1987. xxiii, 262 pp. Westview Press: Boulder,

The author "presents an overview
of emigration patterns from European countries from the mid-19th
century to the early 20th century, with a focus on the migrations out
of Scandinavian countries. These patterns are then placed in
theoretical contexts derived from social science literature, in
general, and from prior explanations offered by social, economic and
demographic historians. Four competing frameworks are synthesized and
form the theoretical backbone of the analysis. These theories address
the relative importance of the rural peasant economy, population size,
density, and urban development, economic factors associated with wages
and markets, and the role of innovation and diffusion in determining
out-migration from Scandinavian countries." The emphasis is on
theoretical rather than historical issues, and the author seeks to
explain why some regions experience heavy migration while others do
not. In conclusion, it is found that "the expectations of this
monograph regarding the relative importance of peasant ecology theory
and innovation diffusion theory are well supported. The expectation
that change and response theory would not perform well is also
substantiated."

"This paper presents a simultaneous,
econometric model of both the determinants of international migration
to the South African mines and of some of the economic consequences for
each of the labor supplying countries. Not only are the short-run
effects of labor withdrawal on traditional crop cultivation and the
domestic wage labor markets considered, but also the long-term effects
of savings from mine earnings invested in crops and cattle in the home
countries." The experiences of Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique,
and the South African homelands are compared. It is shown that
"emigration to the South African mines has...reduced crop production in
the subsistence sectors of Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, and the South
African homelands in the short run. But the results also suggest that
earnings of migrants have enhanced both crop productivity and cattle
accumulation in the longer run, except in
Lesotho."

Island, New York. In Eng.
"This article examines the extent to
which undocumented status lowers wage rates among immigrants to the
United States from four Mexican communities. Regression equations were
estimated to determine the effect of legal status on wages independent
of other demographic, social and economic variables, and special
efforts were made to control for possible sample selection biases.
Findings suggest that the data are relatively free from selectivity
problems that have characterized earlier studies, and that legal status
had no direct effect on wage rates earned by male migrants from the
four communities. Legal status also had little effect on the kind of
job that migrants take in the United States, but it does play an
important indirect role in determining the length of time that migrants
stay in that country. By reducing the duration of stay, illegal status
lowers the amount of employer-specific capital accruing to undocumented
migrants, and thereby lowers wage rates relative to legal migrants."

"The social process of
network growth helps to explain the rapid increase in the migration of
Mexicans to the United States during the 1970s. Migrant networks are
webs of social ties that link potential migrants in sending communities
to people in receiving societies, and their existence lowers the costs
of international movement. With each person that becomes a migrant,
the cost of migration is reduced for a set of friends and relatives,
inducing them to migrate and further expanding the network. As a
result of this dynamic interaction, network connections to the United
States have become widespread throughout Mexico, and the probability of
international migration from that country is high."

The economic impact of illegal migrations is examined, with
the focus on France and the United States. The extent of illegal
migration is considered in the international context, with attention
also given to the methodology of its estimation. Next, four theories
concerning the causes of illegal migration are summarized. The authors
then discuss the effects of such migrations on the relocation of
industries, why employers hire illegals, and the impact on income and
employment as a whole. Other topics considered are the relationship
between illegal migration and legal migration, family reunification,
and the black or hidden economy. Policy implications are then
reviewed. The second part of the book focuses on France, with
particular attention to the measures adopted in 1981-1982 concerning
illegal migration.

integration, and related issues. The primary geographic focus is on
the Federal Republic of Germany, but papers are also included on
Switzerland, Israel, Sweden, the United States, and Vietnamese
refugees. The selections deal with the problems of foreign workers in
relation to resident populations. The compiler's stated goal is to
include works on the basic processes common to migration in different
countries, works from each of the social sciences, and works that will
bring diverse scientific methods into the discussion. The papers are
presented in two sections, one on foreign workers' problems and
opportunities, the other on immigrants and
integration.

3-24 pp. Cairo, Egypt. In Ara. with sum. in Eng.
Changing patterns
of Egyptian emigration over the past 30 years are reviewed. Four
phases are identified: migration among Arab countries up to 1961,
migration to the West for professional advancement, migration for
political freedom, and migration to oil-producing countries since 1973
for economic reasons.

international labor migrations when demand for labor is exogenous.
Environment and Planning A, Vol. 19, No. 8, Aug 1987. 1,051-7 pp.
London, England. In Eng.
"Relatively little is known about the
long-run behavior of international labor migrations. One of the
biggest concerns in immigration debates relates to the continued
pressure on the borders of the wealthy countries. This immigration
pressure will decline significantly only if the poor nations manage to
provide more high-wage jobs. An earlier model of international labor
migration is used to derive additional insights into the growth and
decline of labor supply in different labor markets resulting from
migration. Particular attention is paid to labor demand growth
requirements in a sending country so that out-migration will slow down
and eventually stop."

Dutch
emigrant registration records for the nineteenth century are examined
in an effort to shed light on the local circumstances of the Dutch
emigration movement. "Since nineteenth century emigration took place
mostly through primary contacts this article will examine the newly
established immigrant settlements as 'communities transplanted'...which
directs our research to include local municipal records such as
population censuses, population registers (which were supplemented
after 1861 with registers of in- and out-migration), tax records, and
records of vital events like marriage, birth and death registers. The
quality and availability of these records vary from place to place, but
generally speaking, in the case of the Netherlands, they are of high
quality since population registration at the municipal level was
required by law. The source of information for the local records are
the population registers (Bevolkings Registers) which were originally
constructed on the basis of information obtained from the 1850
population census...."

In this study of labor
migration between New Zealand and Australia, the author reviews
economic models of migration and tests economic theories of migration.
"Among other factors, economic motivations have been found to be
important determinants of emigration from New Zealand to Australia.
Return migration has been found to be an important component of
emigration to New Zealand from Australia. This paper reports an
attempt to confirm these results using cross-section data based on
twenty-one occupational groups. Although the estimated model is quite
simple it does support the results of time series
analyses."

time-series analysis of Salvadoran migration to the United States.
Latin American Research Review, Vol. 22, No. 1, 1987. 132-54 pp.
Albuquerque, New Mexico. In Eng.
The author attempts to analyze the
extent to which recent migration from El Salvador to the United States
is motivated by economic factors or fears of violence. The data
concern the period 1976-1984. The author uses a multivariate linear
regression model to predict monthly variations in emigration based on
indicators of political violence. The results suggest that political
violence accounts for more than half of the variance in apprehensions
of migrants from El Salvador since 1979.

"This paper presents
a conceptual framework for analyzing international illegal migration
from developing countries. The model postulates that the decision to
migrate is some function of the expected income differential between
the home and destination countries, where this differential comprises
not only home and destination wage and unemployment rates, but also two
new variables unique to decisionmaking by illegal migrants--the
probability of capture and deportation and the degree of wage
discrimination against illegal workers....Through a simulation that
reflects the current environment in which illegal migration from Mexico
into the United States takes place, the model is used to evaluate the
impact of the 1986 Simpson-Rodino Immigration Reform and Control
Act...."

the national societies in conjunction with overt tendencies to
xenophobia, (iii) the strengthening of European political and economic
integration, and (iv) the increasing pressure for immigration from the

The author considers the extent to which immigration into
the United States reduces population pressure in sending countries.
Using official data for 1983, ratios are calculated of emigrants to the

developing countries. Evidence is found of reduced population pressure
due to migration to the United States, particularly in selected
Caribbean island countries.

"This paper is concerned with the
reciprocal relationship between migration and development in Third
World settings. Using individual-level data for Venezuela, migration
behavior is related to a person's age, educational attainment, gender,
and characteristics of his/her place(s) of residence as an out-migrant,
in-migrant, or stayer. Place characteristics are in terms of four
groups based on employment patterns: the core, regional centers,
resource frontiers, and traditional rural areas....The primary data
source for this research is 116,672 individual records of Venezuela's
1971 Census of Population...." The authors find that development does
influence migration, that incipient polarization reversal is in
evidence in Venezuela in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and that
places with different development characteristics generate migration
streams differing in type, magnitude, explanation, and impact. It is
also found that "while migration undoubtedly influences development,
how is not entirely clear."

discussed. Official statistics for years up to 1986-1987 are used in
the analysis. Separate consideration is given to Atlantic Canada,
Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, all characterized by out-migration;
Ontario and British Columbia, characterized by in-migration; and
Alberta, which has experienced fluctuations. The interregional
migration of 1982 university and community college graduates is also
discussed and is found to follow the migration patterns of the total
population.

strategies themselves. The last will lead quite naturally into the
concluding remarks--the usefulness of modeling for policy
makers."

included. The main migration flows are to the urban regions of Lisbon

"In contrast to most inter-regional studies of migration,
which have sought to illuminate total migratory flows or net migration
through multiple regression analysis, this paper disaggregates inflows
and outflows to reveal the characteristics of migrants in terms of
gender, age, economic activity and occupation. This is done for
Brittany [France] in the most recent inter-census period (1975-82) in
order to elaborate and apply a descriptive model of counterurbanization
based on six demographic facets. In terms of this model Brittany is
found to be a fairly well-developed example. Implications for the
conceptualization and explanation of counterurbanization trends are
discussed."

An analysis of retirement migration in the

presented. The first part of the study is based on data from the
regional information system and concerns macro-level aspects. It is
shown that distance from urban areas and recreational infrastructure
play a major role in influencing such migration. The second part
contains a micro-level analysis based on interviews with 175 elderly
migrants. The author develops the hypothesis that retirement migration
to rural areas is not a homogenous process but consists of various
types of migration based on the different migration experiences of
individuals during their working lives.

"This study examined long-term elderly migration patterns [in
the United States] at a regional scale in New England by addressing two
questions: (a) Can the changes over time in migration experience for
counties be generalized; and (b) What distinguishes counties with
different types of migration patterns? Net migration rates were used
to identify types of temporal migration patterns experienced by New
England counties for their young (ages 65 through 74) and old (ages
75+) elderly populations during a 50-year period, 1930-1980....Four
types of temporal patterns of net migration rates can be used to
summarize the elderly migration [trends, namely,] positive rate,
negative rate, (positive) turnaround, and miscellaneous. County
characteristics that discriminate among the types suggest that
positive-rate counties are long-standing recreation and retirement
areas; negative-rate counties are the largest urban counties and the
most rural, isolated ones; turnaround counties are those with with more
recently developed recreation and retirement attractions; miscellaneous
counties include suburban counties with a temporary increase in net
migration during their growth spurts."

"A method for deriving a set of
geographic components of temporal change in a system of interregional
flows is proposed and applied in an analysis of U.S. interstate
migration in the early 1980s. Dynamic change in net migration is
conceptualized to consist of system-growth, system-mobility, geographic
mix, and competitive components. Hypotheses concerning the structural
dynamics of migration systems are suggested, as are some implications
for migration-modeling techniques."

"This study focuses upon the trends and
patterns of Iranian internal migration during the period 1966-1976,
with a view to identifying the determinants and consequences of
population movements. Estimates of migration for Iran's twenty-three
provinces were obtained from the 1966 and 1976 censuses by using the
census survival ratio method and the place of birth method....Migration
data at the provincial level were used in a multiple regression
framework in order to identify the factors that were responsible for
internal population movements in Iran....The last phase of the study
concerns the effect of migration on the population structure and income
distribution in Iran. The following conclusions were reached: first,
the degree of urbanization accelerated during the period 1966-1976.
Second, migration affected mainly [young] adults. Third, internal
migration affected the composition of manpower at both origin and
destination. Finally, internal migration has produced significant
negative changes in the distribution of income of Iran."

Pt.1, Jun 1986. 648-66 pp. Chicago, Illinois. In Eng.
"This paper
evaluates the hypothesis that the influence of 'traditional' market
variables on migration in Canada has diminished over time. This is
attributed to a crowding-out process whereby growth of social
security-type programs has cushioned the effects of, say, unemployment
and thus motivation to migrate for jobs, and fiscal policies have
exerted unintended effects. Implications are that market forces that
would work naturally to induce migration from low to high-income
regions (and thus equalize earned incomes) have been short-circuited
and that traditional tools of manpower policy for influencing
migration, such as job creation, skill enhancement, or wages, are less
effective currently than they might have been in the past."

survey conducted in Geneva on a sample of 549 asylum seekers assisted
by public welfare agencies from 1974 to 1983. These refugees belong to
the younger age bracket of the active population. About half of them
have completed their secondary or tertiary education. But their

"This article analyzes the post-1975 population
redistribution program in Vietnam. After examining the goals and
instruments of the program, it evaluates its demographic and geographic
efficiency, and its social and economic costs. Information on
interprovincial migration flows derived from the daily reports of the
Foreign Broadcast Information Service is analyzed separately for the
periods before and after the Sixth Party Plenum (1979). Results
indicate that the decongestion of Southern cities took place mainly in
the first period, that later population movements served mostly to
alleviate excessive demographic pressures in a few Northern provinces,
and that the outmovement of Southern urbanites to New Economic Zones
has been largely offset by an influx of Northerners into Southern
cities and by substantial return migration from the NEZs."

"Consideration of the concepts of spatial mobility has made the
criterion 'change of residence' obsolete, in the study of various forms
of contemporary migration. The introduction of the concept of eventual
'reversibility of migration' has made it possible to make greater use
of the concept of 'life space'....The authors attempt to relate this
'life space' to the notion of 'home base'. They can thus define
various types of flow that were not covered when the concept of 'change
of residence' was used. In particular, the introduction of the
'eventual reversibility of migration' renders the dichotomy between
temporary and definitive moves obsolete, although the precise nature of
this 'reversibility' remains to be defined." The geographic focus is on
developing countries.

"The
temporary and repetitive character of contemporary labor migration is
explained by assuming that immigrants have a preference for location.
A life-cyle model of immigrant behavior is developed to determine net
lifetime income, total time allocated to home-country and
foreign-country residence, and the number of migratory trips. Because
of income effects, home wages and foreign wages are not symmetric in
their effect on the location of work effort. It is also shown that
changes in travelling costs have predictable consequences for the
number of border crossings, but not for the total time spent in the
foreign labor market." The emphasis is on labor migration to developed
countries.

A. V. School desegregation and white flight: a
reexamination and case study. Social Science Research, Vol. 16,
No. 3, Sep 1987. 211-28 pp. Duluth, Minnesota. In Eng.
"The
controversy over white flight and its effect on central city population
composition [in the United States] grew out of an earlier controversy
over the role of busing and its use to desegregate urban schools. Now,
there is general agreement that white school enrollment losses do occur
in school systems when there is mandatory busing for integration
purposes, where there are large minority populations, accessible white
suburbs, and when the busing program is district-wide. Although there
is general agreement on the existence of white flight, there is less
agreement on the temporal nature of that flight. The recent debate is
related to conflicting models of white flight. This paper suggests a
more clearly specified model to examine the temporal effects of white
flight, and examines some specific impacts of white flight in a case
study of Norfolk, Virginia....The results of the analysis of the public
use data set show that the 'suburbanward' movement of households is
disproportionately white, and where the proportion of black moves is
greater, it is largely 'overspill' from central city black residential
areas."

"The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of
traditional security mechanisms in raising the opportunity cost of
rural-urban migration in rural India. The security takes the form of
institutional access to community resources as well as to the personal
property resources of those owning land. However, it is also found
that, over time, there has been an erosion in the access to these
resources. Thus, on the one hand, it appears that the flow of rural
poor into urban slums might accelerate in coming years. On the other
hand, there are a number of rural development projects in operation
that seek to generate income-earning opportunities in the villages. It
remains to be seen whether these efforts succeed in keeping the rate of
rural-urban migration low." The data were collected in 1984 and 1985
from "two Indian villages (one prosperous and one poor) as well as from
households in three shanty towns in Delhi...."

"This study investigates the process of family migration in
Turkey within the rural-urban setting and extends the 'Human Capital
Theory of Migration' using a 'hedonic' approach to wage determination
in locational equilibrium. It recognizes the fact that migration from
rural to urban areas involves an occupational change as well as an
employment change....It is found that the constraint of village origin
reduces the probability of migration by 9 percentage points compared
with urban origin, and by 5 percentage points compared with town
origin....A village-to-urban move requires an 8 percent larger earning
differential than a village-to-village move, and a village-to-town move
requires a 24 percent earning differential over a village-to-village
move. In addition to the agrarian aspects of migration, the
interrupted age-earnings profile of migrants is investigated."

resulting from rural-urban migration. The study is confined to the
theoretical aspects only.

migrants are more likely to be single and male and that married female
migrants outnumber married males. "However, these differences by sex
are much less marked in Kerala than in Bihar and West Bengal. Married
migrants tend to migrate alone rather than with their family in Bihar
and West Bengal, while in Kerala family migration is more common than
individual migration."
