The author investigates changes in
patterns of population migration and economic development in the ECOWAS
region, which is made up of 16 Western African countries that formed an
economic community in 1980. "In the history of this region, from
pre-colonial to post-colonial periods, it is possible to recognize
distinct periods within which movement patterns have differed, not only
with respect to volume and origin/destination patterns, but also with
respect to causes or influences. This paper attempts to assess
population movements in relation to these periods. The term movement
is used here in a general sense to include both permanent and temporary
migrations....The discussion in this paper has...necessarily been
restricted to the countries for which data are
available."

"Who moves among the elderly? With
whom do the elderly move? With whom will they stay once they have
migrated? These are the main questions discussed in this paper. On
the basis of a sample of individual data obtained from the censuses of
Italy and the United States, data which were analysed by taking the
household--and not, as is traditionally done, the individual--as the
observation unit, the author concludes that there are some significant
differences between the two countries as far as migration behavior of
the elderly is concerned, even if there are also many
similarities."

"In empirical work on population migration,
researchers have utilized many different measures of migration. One
measure that is used periodically is an 'allocation rate', most
commmonly defined as the number of persons moving from origin i to
destination j during the time period divided by the total number of
outmigrants from origin i during the period....In this paper, previous
work on allocation rates is discussed and one study is replicated for
the 1975 to 1980 period. It is demonstrated that inclusion of origin
variables in such models is theoretically incorrect and results in
substantial biases in empirical work. Inclusion of ratios of
destination-to-origin variables is valid only with a very narrow
interpretation." Data are from the 1960 U.S.
census.

"This paper designs a
multiarmed bandit (MAB) sequential model for the analysis of the
migration-job search process. The implications either are compatible
with well-known migration behavior or, when novel, are also plausible.
For example, regions with large wage variability attract migrants, and
regions with large nonpecuniary returns increase both in migration and
out migration. A major advantage of this approach is the relative ease
with which martingale estimators can be derived from the martingale
structure of the model. These martingale methods are exemplified for
the return migration phenomenon."

Migration in the Philippines is analyzed through
an examination of migrants in Dagupan City, a provincial city in the
lowland Philippines. The focus of the study is on the ties maintained
between migrants and family members residing elsewhere. Data,
collected in 1978-1979, are from a series of in-depth family case
studies, which include biographical information on individual migrants
and their relatives, and data on interactions among family members.
"These case studies are placed into the larger structural context,
including data on urban and regional economic patterns, migration
patterns, and features of Filipino culture and social structure that
affect migration." The study indicates how migration of all kinds plays
an important role in increasing a family's
income.

that return migrants are superior to, and more enterprising than non

translate to differences in investment level and the general conclusion
is that return migrants are likely to invest more in rural productive

from Mexico to the United States is viewed very differently by those

pressures. The fact that for many years the United States held
undocumented labor to be punishable for the worker but not for the
employer suggests a tacit recognition of the labor supply/demand
factor, but a recognition tainted by

to shift deployment from houseworkers to better skilled workers. It is

scale the deleterious effects of the global division of labour have not
merely been passively accepted; within the continent new patterns of
skilled-labour migration have been created by increasingly
differentiated economic performance and political relationships. A
case study of Kenya, a country of small current net immigration of
skilled workers, is used to specify some of the processes that
establish the relationships between immigration and emigration
policies, and how these have been mediated by conditions for skilled
workers."

The nature and extent of poverty among immigrants to the United
States from 1960 to 1980 is explored, with emphasis on public
assistance utilization. The author first reviews U.S. immigration
history, focusing on issues relevant to poverty and the receipt of
public assistance. The research methodology is then described, and the
results of the analysis are presented. A multivariate model of poverty
at the family level is developed. The author concludes that there is
some support for concerns that the increase in immigration during this
period led to an increase in levels of poverty and welfare utilization
among immigrants. However, although there is ample evidence that the
level of poverty among immigrants increased, there is little evidence
of a commensurate rise in the propensity of families to receive public
assistance.

objective of this paper was to add an additional dimension to the
conventional view of migrants' status attainment as being chiefly
determined by socio-economic characteristics. This extra dimension
postulates that migrants to the [United States] do not act socially or
economically independently of other migrants who may be at different
stages of the migrant process. Rather, there is a continuous exchange
of information and knowledge between those who share the common bond of
having migrated to the [United States]. The shape and form of the
individual components of this information exchange constitute 'social
networks'....[Findings indicate] social position can be strongly
influenced by a migrant's ability to tap into a variety of informal
networks, the importance of which vary across socio-economic
covariates." Data were collected from rural....communities during
1982-83 and from out-migrants....in 1983. in

The author analyzes major trends in international
migration concerning Poland between the years 1945 and 1950. The
displacement of the population from the USSR and from elsewhere to
Poland after World War II is documented. The return migration of
people who left Poland prior to 1939 and returned during the post-war
period is also discussed. Attention is paid to the available data
concerning the number of people of German origin present in Polish
territory in 1946.

migrant outflow represents absolute loss....It is argued that
circulation is not confined to commuter-type mobility but in the
Caribbean it is also a feature of long-stay migration and the
establishment of what are effectively transnational households. Though
the characteristics and spatial behaviour of the household vary with
the specific migration type, the transnational household provides a
more appropriate model for analysing Caribbean migration and its
implications than does the model based on migration as
displacement."

"The few existing
empirical studies of high-status migrants in Western European cities
suggest that classical urban models describing and explaining the
segregation of immigrant groups in the city do not apply to these
movers. When compared to low-status movers of the recent past,
high-status movers display certain marked differences, particularly in
the presence of dependants from the outset and in voluntary extensive
employer involvement in housing provision or search, but there are also
similarities in their restriction to the privately-rented housing
sector. The characteristics and location of high-status migrants and
of gastarbeiter in Vienna are here compared, demonstrating that there
is a need for new urban models to deal with high-status migrant
settlement in Western European cities."

"Although the pattern of polarization reversal reported by Vining
and Pallone in the 1970s and the re-emergence of core-ward net
migration that they now report for the 1980s are problematic if viewed
from the perspective of a short-term time horizon, they are easily
understandable in a long-wave context. Evidence is provided for
55-year waves of urbanward migration [in the United States], each of
which reached its nadir during the nation's major stagflation crises.
The periodic repetitions of the phenomena described by Vining and
Pallone suggest the relevance of the interpretations provided by
long-wave theory."

"Cochrane and Vining's study of recent trends in
core-periphery migration, while suffering from some weaknesses in
methodology and interpretation, confirms very clearly that the reversal
of the metropolitan migration turnaround is a widespread phenomenon in
the developed non-Communist world. Evidence from the United Kingdom
also supports this observation. An examination of the possible factors
responsible for the rise and fall of counterurbanization over the past
two decades suggests that two major forces--population deconcentration
and regional restructuring--are operating simultaneously but relatively
independently and that they both fluctuate in their nature and strength
over time in response to prevailing demographic and economic
circumstances."

"The
main finding of this article is that net internal migration to the core
regions in the countries of the developed world, which subsided in the
1970s, increased in the 1980s, although not to the level of the 1960s.
In some countries of northwest Europe there is a balance now in net
flows between core and periphery. In the countries of the periphery of
Europe and Japan net internal migration to the core regions increased
slightly in the 1980s. Net migration flows to the periphery have
completely reversed in Canada, and net flows out of the core regions of
the United States have been significantly reduced. In eastern Europe,
however, there is still moderate net migration to the core regions
without any interruption as seen in western Europe, North America, and
Japan. In South Korea and Taiwan rates of net migration to the core
regions have been reduced from their high levels of the 1970s, but they
are still quite high and show no clear sign of a break from the
past."

expected under the Poisson process. Two sources of migration data are
used: one-year migration from the 1981 Census; and ten-year migration
from the OPCS Longitudinal Study. The evidence from both sets is that
both housing and labour market factors are relevant to explaining
interborough migration, in addition to the distance and mass terms of
the basic gravity model. The labour market effects suggest that
migration generally equilibrates differences in excess labour supply
between the boroughs, though less strongly in the recession year
1980-81."

despite government policy designed to promote economic growth in the
South, the economic gap between the South and the more prosperous North
has in fact widened in recent years. The author calculates that during
the 30-year period from 1951 to 1981, the total advantage gained by the
central and northern regions through migration from the South is the
equivalent of 3.7 times the gross domestic product of Italy in
1986.

migration streams of those who entered or left the labour market

Recent trends in migration in the United States are reviewed,

the 1970s are presented and their implications for future migration
trends considered. The author concludes that "while 1970s core region
declines may have been strongly linked to the counterurbanization
process, post-1980 core region gains do not appear to signal a return
to the metropolis."

having a female head aged 47 years or older. "In this article it is
shown that the propensity to move demonstrated by these households is
strongly influenced by tenure of the (previous) dwelling, quality of
that dwelling, and the age of the head of the household. Housing
choice of moving households is mainly related to tenure of the
(previous) dwelling, household composition, and the characteristics of
the housing market."

mobility in Indonesia has a level, scale and complexity that belies the
conventional stereotyping of most Indonesians as being highly immobile,
scarcely travelling beyond the well-trodden social space of their
village and its immediate environs. There are many reasons to explain
the increasing population movement; however, there is uncertainty

during the decade 1971-81, among whom 5.93 million were females. Among
the component flows between urban-rural areas, the three flows rural to
rural, rural to urban, and urban to urban were almost equal in volume,
while the urban to rural flow was comparatively quite small." Reasons
for migration are analyzed. The results show that "the states with

local income taxes and tax-equalization grants have important effects
on local labor markets; regional development policy measures and
geographical-mobility subsidies do not. Thus, recent efforts scaling
back some of these programs may not materially alter the regional
economy's performance. Wages and other traditional market variables
are also often found to influence significantly local labor
markets."

Central Java, Indonesia, is analyzed. The focus is on the relationship
between the village and the outside world and how it affects the type
and patterns of migration that occur. The data were collected in May
1985 in interviews with persons leaving or entering one
village.

"This study examines the interstate migration
flows of Mexican Americans among five southwest states. From the 1980
Public Use Microdata Sample, a subsample of 3,311 Mexican American
interstate migrants was taken. Anglo and Black interstate migrants in
the region are included for comparative purposes. Texas, Arizona, and
Colorado each received more Mexican American migrants from other states
in the region than they lost to these states between 1975 and 1980.
The migration patterns of Mexican Americans more closely resemble those
of Anglos than Blacks, but still differ from
both."

143-59 pp. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In Eng.
"The paper presents
and tests a new model of migration which differs significantly from the
conventional disequilibrium approach. We show that variations in rates
of gross migration across regions are equilibrium responses to
variations in levels of amenities, governmental policies, etc. The
model is tested using data on the gross migration of [U.S.] whites,
1975-80, together with amenities such as climate and with economic
variables such as government services, taxes and unionization.
Empirical results suggest that the equilibrium model is more consistent
with actual migration patterns than is the conventional disequilibrium
approach. We estimate compensating differentials and migration
elasticities for these variables."

paper investigates migration patterns in a national sample of nearly
1,600 families matched in the [1850 and 1860 U.S.] census manuscript
schedules of population. Migration is observed at the county level,
gross as well as net flows are measured, and the data support the
estimation of regression models that explain mobility by individual
characteristics. The findings suggest that education and a long-term
decline in the importance of location-specific human capital promoted
labor market integration, that departures from the South were small in
overall migration flows, that frontier settlers differed little from
persisters, that reverse migration was concentrated among the young,
and that substantial differences in regional patterns of movement
persisted after controlling for individual
characteristics."

Attention is paid to the effect on settlement of the location of
production facilities and to population distribution under conditions
of perestroika, under which more emphasis is being given to freedom of
choice and less to central planning. Ways to make the establishment of
new settlements more efficient given regional differences are
considered.

Current theoretical sociological

assessing their relevance to the study of refugee migration. The
author concludes that such studies have not generally taken the case of
refugees into account. He also concludes that empirical studies
concerning refugees have been conducted on an ad hoc basis that is
largely unconcerned with developments in sociological
theory.

scarcity in Peru. ISBN 0-691-07744-4. LC 88-4084. 1988. xviii, 211
pp. Princeton University Press: Princeton, New Jersey. In Eng.
The
social and economic problems associated with the temporary rural labor
scarcity existing in some developing countries are explored using an
example from Peru. The study concerns the seasonal migration of
Aymara-speaking highland peasants to the east Andean valleys, where
they grow coffee. The author shows that the low price obtained for
coffee forces these migrants to maintain highland food crop production
and thus prevents their permanent migration. She concludes that "the
rural labor scarcity produced by their migrations generates ecological
decline in the lowlands and intracommunity conflicts and declining
networks of production in the highlands."

"This paper highlights a
difference between migrants and the native-born viz., a positive
probability of return migration. The analysis demonstrates that this
probability results in migrants' saving more than comparable
native-born and in migrants' work effort being higher than that of
comparable native-born. This differential may explain why, even if all
workers are perfectly homogeneous in skills, migrants often outperform
the native-born in the receiving economy."

"This study
examines the inter-provincial return migration phenomenon within the
context of the 1966-1971 Canadian experience, specifically, what
factors differentiate return from non-return inter-provincial movers.
Utilizing the individual file of the 1971 Census Public Use Sample
Tape, it was possible to identify return movers, as well as the
population at risk, in a more meaningful way than is possible using
other traditional data sources. The employment of dummy
dependent-variable regression revealed that the opportunity structure
and language barrier (represented by destination region), as well as
the demographic variable age, proved to be the most significant factors
differentiating these two types of inter-provincial movers from one
another."

value system or culture of migrant

Edmonton, Canada. In Eng. with sum. in Fre.
"This paper draws on
census data to examine comparatively the patterns of age and sex
differentials in rural to urban migration in two Indian states, namely
Kerala and West Bengal. It is contended in the paper that migration in
India is selective of a very wide range of age groups from 15 to 49
years. Age selectivity in migration tends to differ markedly by sex.
In general, female migrants are younger than male migrants, and female
migrants in West Bengal are still younger than those in Kerala. Since
marriage plays an inevitable role in migration of women, they tend to
be more migratory than men. This paper has sought to suggest that
differing sociocultural conditions largely account for variations in
migration differentials between states."

Trends in
internal migration in Botswana are analyzed, with a focus on
rural-urban migration. Data are from the 1981 census and from a survey
carried out in 1979. The authors note that even though the
predominance of subsistence agriculture acts as a deterrent to
rural-urban migration, it is probable that the total and percentage of
people living in urban areas will increase. However, the magnitude and
pattern of future migration will fluctuate over time as social and
economic conditions change.
