The author
explores the processes of migration and colonization in the
underpopulated southern area of Chile over the past century, with a
focus on problems caused by the area's abundance of natural resources
and the scarcity of labor. Trends in the migration of the labor force
according to sex, type of activity, and areas of origin and destination
are analyzed. The impact of increasing movement to urban areas is
considered. The need to redirect migration flows in order to provide a
labor force sufficient to utilize the area's resources is
emphasized.

The relationship between migration and
social structure is analyzed. The author "focuses on several
propositions that identify and illustrate the complexities of these
[relationships] in developing nations and suggests some of the ways in
which our understanding of social structure enhances the analysis of
migration processes and vice versa." Issues considered include the
relationship between migration and other demographic processes, the
socioeconomic adjustment of migrants in urban areas, and individual and
household perspectives in rural areas.

"Migration behavior by
individuals, migration decisions and migration outcomes are not neutral
to the needs and constraints facing the migrants' families who stay
put. In this paper we present and analyze evidence from the
Philippines suggesting that the choice of migrant members and migration
destination are largely determined by familial characteristics....We
find that the young age of migrants is explained by their greater
amenability to familial income needs and familial manipulation. This
amenability also seems to explain the preference for daughters over
sons as migrants. Likewise, the initial labor market performance of
migrants is accounted for...by familial needs which mandate
participation in labor market activities that secure certain if low
short run returns." The data are from the 1973 National Demographic
Survey of 9,331 women and the 1976 Status of Women Survey of 1,997

a discussion of the brain drain phenomenon, and the difficulty of
efficiently monitoring this movement. Three separate chapters outline
the demography of skills migration for each country. Data are
presented for occupational distribution, average income, level of
education and field of study, and the numbers of registered emigrants
by destination and occupation. Sections within the chapters present an
overview of the factors promoting the outflow of highly skilled human
resources and the effects of the out-migration of talent. Some
interviews with migrating professionals are included. A selected

"As
the number of immigrants to the United States has risen over the past
20 years and as their national origins have shifted to Third World
countries, the attention of the public and of policymakers has
increasingly focused on the costs rather than the benefits associated
with the arrival of newcomers. After a brief examination of the size
of the undocumented population in the United States--most of whom are
Mexican in origin--the article examines a variety of recent studies of
the labor market impact of undocumented immigrants. The wages of such
workers do not appear to be affected by their immigrant status per se,
and the effects of immigrants (both legal and undocumented) on the
wages and earnings of other labor force groups are either nonexistent
or small (and sometimes positive). Such conclusions have important
policy implications. They might incline one, for example, to be more
favorably disposed toward legal employment programs."

"This book attempts to gauge the
effects of immigration in New York City today, with particular
attention to those newcomers who arrived after 1965. In 1980 these
more recent immigrants made up 56.5 percent of the city's foreign-born
population. Particular attention is paid to the ways immigrants
interact with the city's service system. The book looks at the
demographic characteristics of the city's foreign-born: their
countries of origin, their distribution in the city's residential
neighborhoods, and their patterns of employment. It reviews the
history of U.S. immigration law and its effects on immigration in New
York City. It describes the use that immigrants make of the city's
service system, and the adaptations that service agencies have made to
these new clients. Finally, it explores the question of what
immigrants cost the city in services and what they contribute in taxes.
The book attempts to bring some balance to the question of illegal
immigration." Data are based on interviews and the 1980 U.S.
census.

"This paper
extends the work of Ethier on illegal immigration by examining the
optimal level of enforcement for the labor-importing country in a
two-country model and by considering the effects of allowing capital
mobility. We derive a formula for the optimal level of enforcement
against firms that hire illegal workers, and show that the presence of
enforcement costs makes the policy less efficient than a wage tax.
With capital mobility, foreign workers gain from an increase in
enforcement in the home country because capital is driven out of the
home country."

of the country in which they reside, along the lines of the European
Community. The need to protect the rights of migrants around the world
is stressed.

Past and present trends in migration between Australia and New
Zealand are examined, and a simple model, based on recent studies, is
developed. According to the authors, "it is possible to account for
the trends and fluctuations in trans-Tasman migration by relatively
simple combinations of economic and demographic variables. Migration
is responsive to the proportion of the trans-Tasman population aged
15-29, to the cost of travel and to economic conditions. The direction
of the flow is sensitive to relative employment opportunities.
Relative earnings opportunities also appear important...." The
significance of return migration and the similarity between the
determinants of internal and international migration in these two
countries are noted.

Economically motivated migration flows to the United States,

concerning factors underlying migration are developed. "The argument
that a causal theory of international migration can only be advanced by
examining the structural and political forces operating in the regional
political economy as a whole is pursued primarily with respect to the
U.S. and its neighbouring periphery....The issue of the reproduction of
labour-power (and by extension the modes of production debate and some
feminist debates) is considered when dealing with southern
Africa....The third theme, on the postulated 'structural necessity' of
migration to advanced capitalist countries (and the related debate on
segmented labour markets) is discussed in relation to Europe...."
Attention is given to the role of the state as a regulator of labor
supply, the establishment of a new international division of labor, and
the labor force structure on the periphery.

crises between 1845 and 1856, industrialization in Belgium, and factors
directly related to the emigration surge of 1855-1856 and the
subsequent sharp decline. Demographic characteristics of the emigrants
are examined, and the impact of their departure on the region of origin
is assessed. In concluding, the authors offer an explanation of this

International labor
migration from Europe is analyzed based on data from the Egyptian
Emigration Survey of 1985. "In all, roughly 2 million Egyptians
emigrated, as workers or their dependents, between 1974 and 1985, and
1.5 million were abroad at the time of the survey....Emigrants tend to
be unaccompanied males (average age 32 years), probably because of
tight controls on dependents and difficult living conditions in the
receiving countries. The majority are nevertheless married....Both
workers and their dependents are increasingly well educated.
Destinations have changed over the decade: Libya and Jordan have
declined in importance, following political and economic upheavals
respectively, while Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are now taking larger
numbers of Egyptian workers. Emigration to Iraq seems to be more
modest than sometimes reckoned (500,000), and almost entirely made up
of single males." The impact of emigration on Egypt is also
considered.

"The present paper analyzes the migration phenomenon
within a framework that treats migratory movements as continuous loops,
from the country of origin to the destination, and back. The focus
will be on significant factors that occur at each stage of the
migration loop process. A brief international overview will be
provided, investigating such factors as why migration takes place, who
migrates, who returns back to the native origin, and the nature of a
'self-feeding' driving mechanism that is characteristic of this looping
process. This dynamic loop model is used to analyze the
Mexico-U.S.-Mexico migration loop, and to explain the intensifying
socio-economic stratification that produces serious divisions in once
relatively homogenous rural social systems in Mexico." A variety of
published sources concerning migration between the United States and
Mexico since the early 1900s are used.

The author
summarizes the availability of Japanese official statistics concerning
international migration. The paper is in three parts: the first
describes the kinds of data available, the second analyzes changes in
migration patterns before 1950, and the third deals with migration
since 1950. The author notes that although the volume of international
migration concerning Japan has historically been low, recent trends
emphasize the need for better data.

This is a study of poverty among immigrants to
the United States during the period 1960-1980. Data are from 1960,
1970, and 1980 Public Use Samples of the U.S. census. The author
focuses primarily on changes in ethnicity and economic status among the
immigrant population, caused in part by the 1965 reforms in U.S.
immigration policies. Descriptive tables present poverty rates for the
years 1959, 1969, and 1979 for all families and for families of key
nativity groups, and for recent immigrant families. Multivariable
models are used to further test assertions addressed in the
tables.
This is a revised version of a paper presented at the 1987
Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America (see Population

rates, like the vital rates, remain invariant over time. In the
second, a constant number of immigrants with unchanging age composition
enter every year. In the first example, the contribution of the
immigration component may be determined by comparing the difference it
makes in the intrinsic rates of growth of the trajectory of
births....In the second example, the long term effect of a constant
stream of immigration on the host population turns out to be
significant only when the net reproduction rate is below replacement

Changes in the occupational status of Mexican
immigrants to the United States are examined. Distinctions are made
between first-time and repeat migrants. The analysis is developed in
four stages. "First is a bivariate description of occupational
patterns controlling for duration of stay. Second, occupational
outflows are examined to determine which occupations gained or lost
workers between Mexico and the U.S. and within the U.S....Third, this
mobility table is analyzed statistically to uncover the patterns of
immobility underlying the observed data and to determine in which
occupational categories occupational immobility is greatest. Finally,
multivariate analyses show the relative magnitude and importance of the
various determinants of occupational change." The data are from a
1982-1983 study conducted in four Mexican sending communities and in
the United States.

The
historical relationships between European and U.S. capital and Jamaican
labor migration are examined from a political-economic perspective. "In
the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a complex network of
cross-national movements of capital, commodities, and labor shaped the
Caribbean and larger world economies, and Jamaica emerged as a country
from which foreign entrepreneurs and enterprises repeatedly sought to
procure immigrants....[The focus here is on] several specific factors
influencing the international flow of labor, including variations in
wage levels, state policies that defined the conditions for crossing
national boundaries and legislated the terms for procuring immigrant
labor, and the cyclical nature of the world
economy."

The internationalization of
production and its contribution to the formation and direction of labor
migration is analyzed. The focus is on immigration to the United
States from 1960 to 1985 and the factors affecting it, primarily U.S.
economic activity abroad and foreign investment in the United States.
The author's hypothesis is that the conditions that promote emigration
and that foster a demand for foreign workers in the United States are
both due to major processes in the reorganization of the world economy.
The importance of the growth of major cities such as New York and Los
Angeles as centers for global management and servicing and their impact
on migration is noted.

The author notes
that recent international migration to Argentina consists primarily of
illegal migration from bordering countries. She identifies the
oscillations of Argentinian policy concerning immigration as a major
cause of this illegal migration. The five amnesty decrees adopted over
the past 40 years have not led to major changes. The author stresses
the need to develop policies to reduce illegal immigration and the
consequent exploitation by employers of illegal
immigrants.

Discussion Paper, No. 36, Feb 1988. 28 pp. Harvard University, Center

"This paper provides theoretical reasoning
and empirical evidence that international migration decisions are
influenced by relative as well as absolute income considerations.
While potential gains in absolute income through migration are likely
to play an important role in households' migration decisions,
international migration by household members who hold promise for
success as labor migrants can also be an effective strategy to improve
a household's income position relative to others in the household's
reference group. The findings reported in this paper provide empirical
support that relative deprivation plays a significant role in
Mexico-to-U.S. migration decisions. The findings also suggest that
Mexico-to-U.S. migration is an effective mechanism for achieving income
gains in households that send migrants to the United States and that
households wisely choose as migrants those of their members who are
most likely to provide the household with net income gains." The data
are from a 1983 survey of 61 households in two Mexican
villages.

characteristics in regions of Great Britain. "Chapter 1 introduces the
principal dimensions of socio-economic change which this study will be
measuring, describes the basis of the Functional Regions perspective,
and outlines the main features and applications of this approach which
we will be using. The next six chapters examine in turn the most
important demographic, economic and social characteristics which give
places their distinctive complexion." Topics explored include changes
in population distribution and structure, with a focus on increases in
the elderly and ethnic minority populations and decreases in average
household size; the evolution of the labor force; employment trends;
unemployment, including long-term and youth unemployment; and selected
other indicators of socioeconomic status. "Finally, Chapter 8 draws on
a small selection of key criteria to construct an Index of Local

twofold: (1) to analyze internal migration and migration differentials

influence of individual, household, and community-level characteristics
on the family migration decision....The study found that migrant
families in Peninsular Malaysia differ from non-migrant families with
respect to age, education, labor force participation, occupational
structure, housing conditions and ownership, and family income.
Ethnicity as well as size of settlement class affect the pattern of
differentials. At the macro-level, we described the intentions and
influence of selected government policies on population distribution
and migration patterns."

"This paper provides an
explicit microeconomic framework in terms of which the nature of
migration decisions may be understood. It is shown that the factors
which impact on the migration decision differ under contrasting
regional labour market regimes. In particular, a distinction is drawn
between Keynesian and neoclassical models. These models are then
rigourously tested on time-series data on net migration flows between
Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. At an aggregate level the
results favour a 'neoclassical' specification but it is argued that
selectivity in migration may mean that this result, in itself, is
insufficient to establish a role for migration as an equilibrating
mechanism in regional labour markets."

from exogenous factors, a point omitted in most empirical studies of

relative cost of living and the local relative unemployment rate.
Hypotheses are tested using a national sample of youth, in addition to
census, data [for the United States]. Surprisingly, a simple measure
of the size of shock to a regional economy has the greatest explanatory
power compared to more sophisticated measures based on prior business
cycles."

internal migration are used to analyze recent movements between Ontario
and the Atlantic provinces of Canada. In particular, the
characteristics of returning and non-returning migrants are
differentiated. The results indicate that returning migrants of both
sexes are found in greater proportions in marginal, more traditional
Atlantic Canada industries such as fishing and fish product
industries.

the timing and frequency of household responses. Journal of
Regional Science, Vol. 28, No. 2, May 1988. 255-70 pp. Peace Dale,
Rhode Island. In Eng.
"The structure of intertemporal patterns of
household migration responses is empirically examined. The findings
indicate that migration decisions are often related to changes in
household conditions in both prior as well as following periods, are
dependent on the duration of household status characteristics (e.g.,
marital status) and not just their presence at any point in time, and
finally that migration response in any particular period very often
differs among households as a result of differences in the underlying
structure of migration frequency behavior. These findings suggest that
inferences based on comparisons of household migration responses over
only a single period of time are incomplete, possibly to the point of
being misleading." The study is based on a calculation of "the
distribution of migration patterns between 1976 and 1979 for a sample
of 4,739 households in the [U.S.] Michigan Panel Survey on Income
Dynamics (PSIC)."

"At the beginning of the seventies, important economic

discovered oilwells were made in the state of Tabasco [Mexico]. As a
result of this, the distribution and the social growth of the
population in this state changed. This paper analyses the general
characteristics of these changes, particularly those related to
migration....Generally speaking, the most important migratory movements
which took place in this state during the oil boom were from one
municipality to another and not from other states to Tabasco, as was
thought at first....This paper also describes the direction of the
migratory flows and provides information about the sex of the migrants
and about their insertion within the sphere of
employment."

parameter estimation and statistical inference. Application to
interprovincial migration data over a 22-year period (1961-1962 to
1982-1983) shows that, in Canada, migration does not appear to serve
well as an equalizer of economic
opportunities."

The relationship between spatial
mobility and development issues in Thailand is analyzed. The main
objectives are "1) to examine individual migration behavior against the
different types of development settings; 2) to evaluate the effects of
social and economic development plans as they influence the migration
process; 3) to explore a range of socioeconomic and demographic factors
which govern the population movement; and 4) to assess the implications
of migration for future development policies in Thailand....[The
authors examine] various aspects of population mobility and
development, including patterns of population movement and particularly
migration and population redistribution within the country during the
past three decades." Data are primarily from the 1960, 1970, and 1980
censuses of population and housing, supplemented with data from phases
I and II of a continuing project on population mobility and
urbanization conducted by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations

"This research explores the
relationship between economic returns to migration and gender and
marital status. Using a matched group of migrants and nonmigrants,
results indicate that migration returns associate with marital status.
Men separating from their wives and never married women experience
positive migration returns. Married women, as tied movers or stayers,
have reduced earnings constrained by familial situations. Nonmigrating
men separating from their wives, with reduced earnings, appear to be
'tied' to a labor market." Data are from the young men's and women's
panels of the U.S. National Longitudinal Surveys of Work Experience;
they cover the 12-year periods from 1966 to 1978 for the men and from
1968 to 1980 for the women.

Eng.
Intra-city migration in the United States during the past 25
years is examined, with a focus on the implications of the
gentrification movement of upper-income Americans into renovated
central city housing. Published literature and available migration
data are reviewed to examine the relevance of migration to urban
deterioration and revitalization. Attention is given to failed efforts
to fight urban decline, factors influencing residential selection
within metropolitan areas, and migration to and from cities since the
1960s. It is found that "through 1981, migration to cities had not
increased sufficiently to revive many, if any, distressed cities. It
is thus unlikely that many cities gained financial resources from
higher-income households to ease fiscal strains or improve city
services. But...migration increases were related to neighborhood
gentrification within cities." The author identifies gentrifying areas
and assesses the effect of gentrification on the relocation of the poor
population.

are discussed using data from the 1980 census and the 1978 and 1983
housing surveys. The author compares household residential mobility
with that of individuals and of the population as a whole. The results
show greater residential mobility the smaller the household size and an
overall decline in household residential mobility in recent years.
Evidence also indicates that nearly half of the households moved in
order to find new housing.

Through participant observation and quantitative surveys, I discovered
that income differences generated by urban remittances and local
underdevelopment have reduced the effectiveness of many Gende's
participation in the system of reciprocal and competitive exchange
which organizes virtually every aspect of their lives...and resulted in
an increasing number of 'losers' who migrate in order to find means to
increase their income or, having defaulted on their exchange
obligations too often, are no longer welcome in the village....My main
conclusions are that it is only by looking at the particular
combination of economic, social, cultural, and temporal factors that
one can understand migration at the local level, and that more general
models of migration must incorporate these variables...."

Settlement within the USSR. More specifically, policies calling for
the deliberate, i.e., forced, resettlement of rural population in
selected villages in order to provide economies of scale in rural
services provision are criticized on two major counts: (1) that such
'enlarged' settlements will still be too small to be allocated the
necessary range of functions according to standard city-planning
formulae, and (2) that they accelerate rural depopulation by serving as
spring-boards for migration to still larger centers."

new ideas and techniques into the workplace. The returning worker
migrants have little impact: they are often employed at jobs that do
not make use of their overseas work experience and they generally lack
the position or authority to introduce changes in the workplace. Also
treated is the role of return migrants in introducing new ideas outside
the workplace. Finally, the paper examines how return migrants invest
their overseas earnings at home and possible benefits of their
investments to the home society. The study concludes that return
migration to Barbados, involving the transfer of ideas, attitudes, work
skills and capital, does contribute to the nation's
development."

A. Migration to urban centers in a region of strong
emigration--the case of western Mexico. [Migracion a centros
urbanos en una region de fuerte emigracion--el caso del occidente de
Mexico.] ISBN 968-895-039-4. 1986. 314 pp. Universidad de Guadalajara,
Facultad de Economia, Centro de Investigaciones Sociales y Economicas:
Guadalajara, Mexico. In Spa.
The authors analyze trends in
migration to urban centers in western Mexico. In the first chapter,
they describe and evaluate the state of the art in migration studies.
Chapter 2, on Mexican migration and urban structures in the country's
western region, contains sections on general historical migration
patterns, regional characteristics and urbanization, urbanization in
the state of Jalisco, occupational structures and migration, and rural
emigration. Chapter 3 is concerned with principal patterns of
migration in the West, including migration to Guadalajara, trends up to
1980, and migration and urbanization at the regional level. In Chapter
4, the authors investigate the characteristics of migration to
Guadalajara and six smaller cities in Jalisco, with a focus on causes
of and motivations for migration, demographic characteristics of
migrants, fertility, schooling, and labor. In the concluding chapter,
they discuss theoretical implications and possible applications for the
formulation of urban and regional development policies. A statistical
appendix is included. Data are primarily from national censuses since
1940 and from national and household surveys, sampling studies, and
community surveys for the 1970s.

"The goal of this work is to address the interrelated
questions of urbanization, industrialization, rural-urban migration,
and squatter settlements in contemporary developing countries.
Emphasis is put on the structural causes of irregular rural-urban
migration in Iran during 1900-1983, and these causes have been analyzed
and examined at the economic, social, and cultural levels. A necessary
comparison between contemporary developing countries and today's
developed nations has also been formulated to identify the major
divergencies of urbanization and migration in the course of
industrialization....Throughout this research divergent data resources
have been utilized to substantiate the theoretical statements and
argumentation. The data are primarily extracted from the following
sources: historical data, two field projects conducted by the author
in 1983 and 1984 in Iran, restructured census materials from before and
after the Iranian revolution, Persian publications not available to the
non-Persian speaking audience and social scientists, personal
observations, and discussions with Iranian and Latin American experts
and leaders."

with capital mobility. Economica, Vol. 55, No. 217, Feb 1988.
119-21 pp. London, England. In Eng.
The author assesses a 1981
study by J. P. Neary of the stability of the Harris-Todaro model of
rural-urban migration in developing countries. "The present note
derives the exact stability condition for the Harris-Todaro model with
intersectoral capital mobility where land is explicitly included as a
third scarce factor in agriculture. While the previous study by Neary
states the difficulty of deriving a clear-cut result in such a case,
this note demonstrates that if capital and land are never
technologically substitutes in the agriculture production, Neary's
condition that the urban sector is more capital abundant than the rural
sector becomes a sufficient condition for local
stability."

"Utilizing
various sources of cross-sectional data, some of the interrelationships
between migration and development, particularly the effects on the
labour-exporting rural areas of Pakistan, are discussed...." Attention
is given to human resource flows, remittances, and income distribution
and fertility effects of migration. "Some limited evidence on Pakistan
suggests that rural-urban migration syphons off the young and the
better-educated workers, which fact, in turn, may have negative effects
on productivity levels in agriculture and rural areas in general.
Remittances sent back yield a very low rate of return on the investment
embodied in the out-migrants. In addition, the remittances may worsen
income distribution."

The rapid increase in population
movement into metropolitan areas has become a significant phenomenon in
China since the economic reform. In this article, the authors study
the case of Beijing using 1985 survey data for migrants to Beijing.
Causes of migration and demographic characteristics of migrants are
analyzed.

model: some further results. Economica, Vol. 55, No. 217, Feb
1988. 123-7 pp. London, England. In Eng.
"A necessary and
sufficient condition for stability is derived for the mobile-capital
Harris-Todaro model of rural-to-urban migration in developing countries
when land is a scarce factor in agriculture. The stability condition
when land is ignored--that the urban sector (comprising manufacturing
industry and the urban unemployed) be more capital abundant--is no
longer either necessary or sufficient for stability. Nevertheless,
this condition always enhances stability and it is sufficient (though
not necessary) for stability in many circumstances (e.g. when land is
separable in production from labour and capital). Intuitive
explanations of these conditions are provided."
