An examination of regional migration patterns in Mexico: new and
old Mexican regions. Genus, Vol. 44, No. 3-4, Jul-Dec 1988. 225-43
pp. Rome, Italy. In Eng. with sum. in Fre; Ita.
"This paper
examines regional migration patterns in Mexico. Different regional
definitions are used to examine four in- and outmigration periods in
Mexico: 1979-80, 1975-79, prior to 1975, and lifetime. Five regional
definitions were utilized to delineate Mexican regions at the state
level....[and] are compared with regions created by a maximum
likelihood clustering technique. The new regions differ from the
previous five regions. Clustered regions based on inmigration and
outmigration patterns are discussed. The results show different
clustering patterns for in- and outmigration and point out that the use
of net migration can be misleading since such an analysis pays little
attention to different inmigration and outmigration patterns. The
results are substantially consistent for the four migration
periods."

"This paper represents the first attempt to model the two
earner family decision to migrate using a joint search theoretic
approach. In so doing, the paradox of a couple whose members would
both migrate if single but decide not to migrate because they are
married to each other is discovered and explained. Furthermore the
impact of the rising number of working women and reentry of wives into
the labor force on the extent and regional pattern of migration is
discussed. Extensions to the model are addressed, as well as future
avenues of research, both theoretical and empirical." A geographical
focus on the United States is implied.

in the context of the migration of families. The significance of
female migration per se is examined, with particular reference to Latin
America. The author reviews the type and volume of female migration,
examines female migrant characteristics, and describes some of the
problems female migrants encounter.

Italy: recent trends. Labour, Vol. 2, No. 3, Winter 1988. 181-91
pp. Rome, Italy. In Eng.
"This paper points out the differing
composition of present immigration flows to Italy compared to those of
Italian migratory flows towards the more industrially advanced European
countries over the past decades. The labour forces that constitute
these present day immigration flows often possess medium to high
educational qualifications, and are more frequently absorbed into the
teritiary and agricultural markets, rather than the industrial sector.
These immigrants rarely have regular, unionized occupations, and
satisfy a demand for precarious, unstable labour which is in expansion
in Italy, as in other countries. Furthermore, these immigration flows
are directed not only towards those regions with high employment rates,
but also to those with high unemployment rates. Thus, the implications
are that the character of present day emigration can only be clearly
understood by taking into account the highly segmented aspect of the
labour market."

not all Israeli-born Americans are as successful as portrayed by past

Asians and Africans (the last group consisting mainly of Moroccans).
Whilst members of the first two groups are often in highly skilled

Portuguese, generally provide unskilled labour. They work mainly in
the services sector, although some of them have found work in industry,

demographic features of migration were still present. Migration may be
seen as a means of circumventing low wages and limited opportunities,
as a culturally specific pattern of behavior or as a combination of
economic, political and cultural factors. After reviewing the pattern
of Grenadian migration over the past 80 years, some of the causes of

area after area of public policy. It distorts the common understanding
of the problems immigrants face; complicates our efforts to solve them;
encourages immigrants, who come with hopes of advancing themselves in a

discrimination; and results in policies that are frequently
inappropriate."

Italy. In Eng.
"The aim of this paper is to interpret present
migration from the countries of the Southern Shores to those of the
Northern Shores of the Mediterranean. A comparison of these migration
flows with those of the 60s, from South to North of Europe, underlines
differences in the economic context of the receiving countries, in the
channels of access, and reveals migrant workers as now being
concentrated exclusively in the traditional and/or illegal occupations
of the external sector. From this finding, the inadequacy of classical
interpretations is thus verified, and a new model to specify this
phenomenon is presented."

No. 1, Spring 1989. 96-104 pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"Migration is often viewed as economically motivated. However many
of the studies on which this is based are a result of either aggregate
data or retrospective questioning of migrants. The present study
indicates that such approaches may give a distorted view of migrants'
motives. Our data indicate that nonmonetary career reasons are
important instigators of migration among well educated international
migrants. In addition these factors tend to be major perceived gains
from migration. However, choice of destination is strongly influenced
by location of friends and/or relatives. Reasons for discrepancies
between this and previous studies are noted." The geographical focus
is on India and Canada.

"The
primary purpose of this study was to generate total net migration
estimates for the Northern, Central, and Southern regions in Iraq
between 1957 and 1977. This was accomplished by applying the Reverse
Survival Ratio Estimate Method (RSRE). Since the RSRE method has not
been used in a nation such as Iraq, which lacks complete census and
vital statistics information, it was tested...using complete population
data from the Mid-Atlantic Division of the United States. The test
results indicated a reasonable level of accuracy in determining both
the direction and the volume of the total net migration estimates over
the 1960-70 period, given our assumptions." The authors conclude that
this method of estimation is useful for economic and social development
planning in countries with incomplete census
data.

interprovincial migration patterns of the young adults and the elderly
in Canada during the 1976-81 intercensal period. The paper is
motivated by the basic question: Does the redistribution potential of
an observed migration process depend more on the departure process or
on the destination choice process? It turns out that the NMP can not
only help answer our basic question but also yield further insights
into observed migration processes."

The relationship between unemployment and interregional labor
migration in the United Kingdom is explored using data from the Labour

experience of unemployment increases the likelihood of migration and
that households in areas of high unemployment are more likely to move.
They also find that during periods of higher overall unemployment,
migration propensities are reduced.
