Effects of agricultural development policies on migration in
peninsular Malaysia. Demography, Vol. 27, No. 1, Feb 1990. 97-109

"In this article, we quantify the
impact of [Malaysia's agricultural development policies and
resettlement programs]...on local out-migration rates, linking macro
and micro approaches and using data from the Malaysian Family Life
Survey, national censuses, and other sources. A model of instantaneous
migration rates specifies an individual's migration rate as a function
of individual-level sociodemographic characteristics, the level of
urbanization of the origin and destination, and the extent of rural
development at the district of current residence. Our results show
that in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the existence of rural
development centers in a district reduced the levels of out-migration
to pre-1965 levels."

Trends in residential
change among the post-World War II generation in France are analyzed.
Data are from two retrospective surveys: a national survey of
migration, occupation, and family histories of the cohorts born between
1911 and 1935, and a survey of cohorts born in the Paris region from
1926 to 1935. The results show that over a 45-year period, the average
number of dwellings inhabited for more than one year was three. There
are also clear differences by marital status and number of
children.

"In theory,
residential mobility is a response to environmental stress only if
households do not reduce dissatisfaction through other alternatives,
such as housing improvements or repairs. Despite the attention given
to stress-reducing alternatives, however, no attempt has been made to
test empirically the residential satisfaction model with adjustments.
Using data from the [U.S.] Annual Housing Survey: 1978-1981, I model
three stages in the mobility process and investigate potential sources
of specification error in previous tests. Blocks of family cycle,
background/action state, and location/housing variables are shown to
affect adjusting significantly. Residential satisfaction strongly
affects mobility preferences; and all theoretically relevant blocks of
explanatory variables predict mobility."

"Nepal has been experiencing rapid population growth in recent
decades. Another significant demographic feature is the increasing
volume of population redistribution. This paper presents an overview
of migration in Nepal over the last three decades based on census data
and selected survey reports....The opening of the lowlands through
malaria control and resettlement programs [since the mid-1950s]
provided a new frontier for large-scale rural-to-rural migration.
Other forces accentuating migration to the lowlands were the
concentration of infrastructural and development activities there.
Immigration from high-density areas across the open border with India
is growing, as well. Thus the lowlands have now emerged as the area of
migrant convergence from within and outside the country....The lowlands
are undergoing significant changes in demographic character, social
composition, land use, and economic development. Recent economic and
demographic processes have all the potential of transforming the
lowlands into a dynamic region. This development has various policy
implications for Nepal's population redistribution, spatial
development, and sociopolitical future."

selectivity bias. "The results, based on the two-stage probit analysis
using the Malaysian Family Life Survey data, reveal a rather stark
contrast between the two estimates [including and excluding selectivity
bias]. We further observe that those who did migrate earn less and
have fewer children, compared to the average couple of the sample had
they chosen to migrate, while those who did not migrate earn more,
compared to the average couple had they chosen to stay. The data used
here do not seem to support the notion that expected income gains
influence the decision to migrate."

"We argue that confusion over the

from a failure to incorporate varying time frames and housing tenures
in predicting mobility expectations. More specifically, we hypothesize
that structural variables operate through residential satisfaction in
the short term (1 year) but independently affect moving expectations in
the long term (5 years). Further, we hypothesize that the mediating
influence of residential satisfaction is weaker for renters than for
home owners. These hypotheses are tested by using survey information
for a random sample of Phoenix [Arizona]-area home owners and
renters."

Factors affecting the
decision to migrate in Africa are reviewed. The author concludes that
most migration studies have focused on the individual migrant, whereas
migration decision-making in Africa is affected primarily by "the
social institutions at local and household levels. Patterns of
migration are influenced by the economic and social trends which
developed especially since the colonial era." The importance of
extended family relationships, agrarian change, forced migration, and
restrictive migration policies indicate a need to take a macrolevel
approach to the study of African migration.

hidden movement was of a similar order at every administrative level,

between regions, migration directions, and streams. In some cases
census data misrepresented the direction of net movement. Available
evidence suggests that these patterns are not confined to Norway,

general, female migrants tend to be younger than their male

model of the spatial distribution of mobile heterogeneous agents is
formulated to assess how a price change or program subsidy that is
location-specific affects the composition of local residents via
selective migration and thus biases evaluations of the effectiveness of
the program based on its local consequences. Longitudinal data from
Colombia are used to test the implications of migration selectivity.
The findings confirm the existence of selective migration, suggesting
that local subsidies to human capital attract high-income but, within
income groups, low-fertility households and those with low human
capital endowments. These migration patterns are shown to be
consistent with the dominance of endowment over tastes heterogeneity in
the population under plausible behavioral
assumptions."

to another as a response to relative deprivation and satisfaction: We
say that a strong incentive to migrate exists if relative deprivation
decreases while satisfaction rises with migration and that a weak
incentive exists if the individual increases or decreases his
satisfaction and deprivation at the same time by migrating. We derive
conditions under which different incentives, weak or strong, hold for
different individuals....Our analysis enables us to explain several
perplexing migratory phenomena, identify income inequality as a
distinct explanatory variable of migration and establish an incentive
to migrate in situations where the utility-social welfare approach does
not."

two major theoretical traditions--a modified world-systems approach and

considered as a structural given. The article then reviews major

migrant flows. Journal of Regional Policy, Vol. 8, No. 3, Jul-Sep
1988. 399-424 pp. Naples, Italy. In Eng.
Trends in European
migration since World War II are described, with particular attention
to the situation in Italy. The authors note that Italy has changed
from being a sending to a receiving country and that in contrast to the
immigration experience of other European countries in the 1960s and
early 1970s, recent immigration to Italy is concentrated in the service
rather than the industrialized sector of the economy. This migration
is confined to migrants willing to accept working conditions and wages
below those of native workers.

"The decision problem of the guest worker as a target saver is
considered. He plans to accumulate capital in the host country for
investment in the home country after return migration. As the worker
is supposed to be incompletely informed about the economic variables in
the host country he might prolong his stay unexpectedly provided the
economic conditions in the host country are unfavourable. Explicit
conditions for the economic variables are given such that temporary
migration turns into permanent migration."

"The modern
literature on the economics of immigration focuses on three related
issues: 1) what determines the size and skill composition of immigrant
flows to any particular host country; 2) how do the immigrants adapt to
the host country's economy; and 3) what is the impact of immigrants on
the host country's economy? This article reviews the theoretical
framework and empirical evidence provided by the economics literature
on these questions. It demonstrates that the economic approach, using
the assumptions that individual migration behavior is guided by the
search for better economic opportunities and that the exchanges among
the various players are regulated by an immigration market, leads to
substantive insights into these issues."

Jon. Patterns of migration to and demographic adaptation
within rural ethnic American communities. Annales de Demographie
Historique, 1988. 277-97 pp. Paris, France. In Eng. with sum. in Fre.
The process of migration and migrant adaptation is analyzed using
data on two population groups who migrated from Norway to the United
States from the 1840s to 1910. The data are from Norwegian local
community records. The results indicate "that 'chain migrations'
resulted in tightly-knit settlements peopled by migrants of common
origins. Not surprisingly, demographic behavior common to the places
of origin was maintained initially by the ethnic settlements: Marital
fertility remained high, household structure continued to be complex,
and pre-nuptial conceptions were wide-spread. Within forty years,
however, marital fertility declined and the simple household often
augmented by single parents became the norm. The process of
demographic change undergone by these immigrants was thus a complex
interplay of continuity and change."

The authors analyze "two

conclusions. The negative one posits that remittances increase
dependency, contribute to economic and political instability and
development distortion, and lead to economic decline that overshadows a
temporary advantage for a fortunate few. The positive view sees
remittances as an effective response to market forces, providing a
transition to an otherwise unsustainable development. They improve
income distribution and quality of life beyond what other available
development approaches could deliver. The implications are tested for
labor supply countries to Europe and to the Middle East....Although the
dire predictions of the pessimistic view have not materialized, the
converse--contributions of remittances to economic performance--should
not be overstated due to lack of data."

The authors examine the possible impact on
patterns of Irish migration of the closer integration of the countries
of the European Community that will occur in 1992. "We must use a
number of simple models to illustrate: how migration can give rise to
costs for the other residents of the migrant's countries of origin and
destination; how, even in the absence of migration costs, congestion in
the use of public goods and inappropriate taxation can give rise to a
sub-optimal distribution of labour; and how national redistribution
policies can lead to well paid people leaving poor countries. The
implications of this type of analysis for European policy are
developed. We also argue that the rationale for the type of
intervention proposed can be made on equity grounds even when migration
is absent."

Problems concerning immigration and the low-cost housing shortage

and the secondary migration of other immigrants to the Los Angeles area
are estimated to be as many as 180,000 each year in the
1980s....Three-quarters of the immigrants were low-income minorities
who are more likely to live in overcrowded enclaves and pay
disproportionately high rents....Although aggravated by immigration,
Los Angeles' low-cost housing ills stem from broader national, social
and economic trends: gentrification and other commercial conversion of
low-cost housing, stagnating federal housing aid, and diminished tax
and loan incentives....While the area's housing problems require
national and local responses in land use, finance, and development
policies, immigration measures also must be considered. Stepped-up
border and employer sanction enforcement and better coordination
between immigration and urban development policies could help ease
pressures on housing in Los Angeles and other immigration-impacted
cities." Options for alleviating these problems are
discussed.

consequences for the countries of destination, particularly West
Germany. The author concludes that current economic and social
conditions in Poland are likely to promote continued, if not increased,
emigration of this kind in the foreseeable future. The possible role
of the Polish population abroad in assisting Poland to improve
conditions so as to reduce the desire for emigration is

article provides a general overview of international migration trends

migration consists of a set of spatial networks which share many of the
processes that create them, but that the networks are characterized by
factors which vary geographically and distinguish one from another.
Fuller analysis of these requires a systems approach to provide a
framework within which to study the processes that produce flow
patterns. It concludes that our ability to forecast future world
patterns of international migration must be based on an assessment of
the likely behavior of the component macro-regional systems we can
recognize."

The author
analyzes the economic consequences of immigration to the United States.
"Among the many novel features of this theoretical and empirical study
is a new analysis which demonstrates that--contrary to received
economic doctrine--the standard theory of trade is not relevant to
immigration, and there is no large consumer benefit from migration as
there is from trade. And it systematically examines each of the major
lines of influence of immigration upon the economy: the
transfer-and-tax system, production capital, human capital, physical
infrastructure, productivity, environmental externalities, and
unemployment. A computable model estimates the aggregate effects of
immigrants upon natives." Comparisons are made with the experience of
other developed countries, including Canada and Australia. The author
concludes that on the whole, immigration is largely beneficial to the
natives of the receiving country.

Land and landlessness among rural-to-rural migrants in Nepal's
Terai region. International Regional Science Review, Vol. 12, No.
2, 1989. 189-209 pp. Morgantown, West Virginia. In Eng.
"Nepal has
been experiencing a permanent rural-to-rural migration of households
from the central hill zone to the Terai region. Migrant households, due
to the structure of the Terai economy, are impelled to acquire control
of land for subsistence agriculture by squatting, purchasing, or
receiving a grant. A household's ability to maximize subsistence
opportunities is partly a function of the means by which land is
acquired and whether land is acquired at all. Factors which determine
the chances of acquiring land reflect the role of institutional
rigidities such as the distribution of wealth and the caste structure,
state-imposed land reform policies, and such household characteristics
as family size and risk aversion. A multinomial logit model is used to
empirically assess the importance of these elements in the outcomes of
migrant households' resource acquisition
decisions."

Changes in population
distribution as a result of interregional labor migration in the
Netherlands are explored, and the data and research related to these
trends are discussed. The author finds that "despite the relative
unimportance of net migration for the aggregate and employed population
as a whole, interregional migration is substantially selective in terms
of the socio-demographic and economic categories discerned in the
labour force, with regard to both the level and direction of
movement."

The
authors evaluate the Poisson model's usefulness in analyzing migration
flows, with particular emphasis on the Poisson assumption of
independence between individual migrants. The authors argue that
migration by individuals is generally undertaken as part of a household
unit, so that such variation will be reduced if the household size of
migrants is taken into account. Data from the 1971 United Kingdom
census are used to illustrate this concept and to analyze interurban
migration utilizing a generalized linear modeling
approach.

Intercounty migration in England between 1818 and 1839 is analyzed
using data on 10,151 men and women who were transported to the penal
colony of New South Wales, Australia. "Almost one-third of the workers
in the sample moved between counties. The working-class intercounty
migrant was young, literate and skilled; the median distance travelled
was 59 miles....Estimating a gravity-flow migration model, migration is
found to be highly sensitive to intercounty job opportunities and wage
rate differentials, but relatively insensitive to distance (which acted
as a deterrent to movement). While regional biases existed, the
regression results imply that labour market signals were effective in
transferring labour from rural to urban
locations."

The author makes a case for the heterogeneity of migrants using
data from Brazil on internal migration for the period 1976-1980. A
model is developed that includes four migration choices for heads of
households and "allows for unobservable individual heterogeneity in
locational preferences and in locational income-earning
ability....Principal findings include positive self-selection among
interregional migrants to metropolitan areas, and negative
self-selection among non-migrants."

"Micro level
village data [for India] was utilized to test Lee's general theory of
migration which states that there is a direct relationship between
volume of migration and population heterogeneity. It was observed that
while caste, education and occupation have linear relationships to
migration, the relationship between economic status and migration is of
a fluctuating nature. Of all the variables studied, occupation was
found to be the most important factor accounting for migration from the
study villages. Thus, the present study which has been based solely on
out-migration from the place of origin, shows that Lee's theory is, by
and large, acceptable."

substantially in excess of the number of temporary visas originally
allocated. In this paper, we outline a theoretical rationale to
explain this observation and test it using microdata gathered from
former participants in the Bracero Program, a U.S.-sponsored temporary
worker program that ran from 1942 to 1964. Our results indicate that
bracero migrants were very likely to make repeated trips, both with and
without legal documents; that they were quite likely to introduce their
sons and daughters into migratory careers; and that they were
eventually likely to settle in the United States in substantial
numbers. We argue that, in the long run, there is no such thing as a
temporary worker program."

Florida counties with census counts of 500 or more nonpermanent
residents....The influx of elderly migrants was viewed ambivalently by
the counties surveyed. The provision of goods and services to the
migrants was considered important to the economic base, but it also
caused some problems for the communities. Service overloads were
reported and concern was expressed that the state and federal revenue
sharing systems in effect at the time were based on a count only of
permanent residents. This study is an exploratory one that indicates
the need for further research on seasonal
migration."

problems in studying counterurbanization. Two overview chapters are
also included. "The first introduces the counterurbanization
experience, documenting the 'discovery' of the rural population
turnaround and reviewing the statistical evidence relating to the
patterns and trends in urban deconcentration for a wide range of
international contexts. The second chapter outlines the main research
issues which have been raised in the counterurbanization debate,
including the vexed question of the real meaning of the term and the
way in which the process should be measured. The concluding chapter is
designed to draw together the principal findings of the national case
studies in order to outline and justify a general model of changes
taking place in the degree and nature of
counterurbanization."
