an investigation of the relationship between individuals' histories of
migration and their durations of residential sojourns. The use of
longitudinal data makes it possible to directly verify the hypothesis
that previous migrants will migrate sooner than individuals with no
history of migration. The research also provides a random utility
justification for a model of residential sojourns." The model is
applied to data from the U.S. National Longitudinal Survey of

which regional human migration is examined as a response to selected
environmental conditions for the 1,056 counties in the North Central
Region [of the United States]. Specifically, this study addresses two
migration-related questions concerning county populations in the North
Central Region: (1) What are the socioeconomic, demographic, and
ecological factors to which county populations respond in adjusting
their migration behavior? (2) Do socially important age cohorts respond
to these factors differently or in a similar manner?" Factors
affecting migration are employment status, income levels, educational
status, ethnic group, residence location, marital status, home
ownership, and age. Data are from the U.S. Census Bureau for the
period 1965-1970.

Migration in Asia since 1970 is addressed, including
discussion of changes in patterns and types of population movement and
the major forces shaping them. Destination countries of international
migrants from Asia are identified, and migration flows due to refugee
resettlement or labor migration are analyzed. The effects of labor
migration, rural-to-urban migration, urbanization, and return migration
on internal migration are outlined, and the regional variations in
these movements are discussed.

"In this paper the so-called recession theory explanation for the
decline of net migration to large metropolitan core areas of
industrialized countries is tested with an econometric time-series
model. In the explanation it is contended that the migration turnaround
represents only a temporary fluctuation in the general trend of urban
economic and demographic spatial concentration, caused by the business
cycle downturns of the 1970s. Our results show that the migration
turnaround cannot be attributed exclusively to these business cycle
fluctuations. For many of the countries tested, the business cycle
operated simultaneously with other factors suggested as explanations
for the turnaround. We conclude that several explanations should be
combined to build a theory of the migration
turnaround."

inter-level and intertemporal dependencies are inherent to the
migration process and give it a strong internal momentum. The dynamic
interplay between network growth and individual migration labor,
migrant remittances, and local income distributions all create powerful
feedback mechanisms that lead to the cumulative causation of migration.
These mechanisms are reinforced and shaped by macrolevel relationships

bear on the assessment of changing gender relations, and emphasizes the
importance of conceptualizing women's roles in a familial
context....This discussion makes an explicit distinction between
economic exchanges in the market (distribution) and noneconomic
exchanges within the household (redistribution) as separate forces
producing gender inequality. Section III delineates how migration
alters gender roles both within and outside a familial context....Our
objective is to determine (whenever possible) whether migrant women are
better or worse off than they were prior to migration, and in what
ways. Section IV summarizes the major findings in an attempt to
distinguish issues which cross-cut social settings from those which are
country-specific. From this discussion we identify issues for further
research, and question the analytical utility of migrant status as a
social category independent of social class and
gender."

is a significantly negative relationship between the one month lag of

one month later. The study also finds that male and female
apprehensions appear to respond to relatively similar economic

Probably as many as three-quarters of the English emigrants of that

have spurned the unusual opportunities for assisted emigration to
colonies that were available that year. The occupations of male
emigrants are compared with occupations reported in the population
census of 1841....The movement was not predominantly an exodus of
labourers from agriculture, nor from some of the most depressed
occupations such as framework knitters and nailers. Various
occupational groups are analyzed according to travelling companions,
dependants and age, in an effort to distinguish between the more
cycle-sensitive groups and those seemingly intent on permanent

out to investigate the ways in which these trends in high level

group of British geographers who commenced investigations on this topic
in 1985 under the auspices of a working party of the Institute of
British Geographers. The article commences by briefly considering the
significance of skilled international migration before turning to
consider a theoretical framework by which such movements might be
analysed. It pays particular attention to the impact of skilled
international migration on sub-national units or regions [of developed
countries], and tries to link together the findings of the working
party on this topic with particular reference to a set of papers
presented to a workshop held at the University of Liverpool in March

"The conventional wisdom on the relationship
between migration and development in the Caribbean Basin can be
summarized in two propositions: that migration from the region to the
United States is an 'escape valve,' benefitting the sending countries;
and that development reduces the pressures for migration. This article
examines both propositions and concludes they are misleading or
inaccurate. Emigration costs the sending countries in serious ways and
often impedes development. Secondly, development does not stem
migration; in the short-term, rapid development is more likely to
exacerbate the pressures of migration than to reduce those pressures.
Besides analyzing the relationship between migration and development in
the Caribbean Basin, this article offers development proposals to
reduce pressures leading to migration and enhance the positive effects
of migration on development."

ambiguous. The present paper reexamines the issue under the standard
two-factor, two-commodity international trade model normally employed
for this purpose. The principal finding of this paper is that once the
problem is correctly formulated and analyzed, introducing
utility-maximizing consumers, no such ambiguity exists. Indeed, labor
emigration always leads to an increase in the welfare (real wage) of
labor in the source country."

"In defining optimum
population, economists have used two distinct concepts of the social
welfare function: the Millian and the Benthamite. Although
analytically the issue of the welfare impact of international migration
is closely related to the concept of optimum population, the migration
analysis has been based almost exclusively on the Benthamite welfare
function. As its point of departure, the present note explores the
implications of the alternative Millian welfare function for migration
analysis. An interesting aspect of the results derived from the
present exercise is that they are in sharp contradiction with the
results based on the Benthamite social welfare function. This
highlights the sensitivity of the results to the welfare criteria used
and the need for greater caution in policy
formulation."

Development Economics, Vol. 31, No. 1, Jul 1989. 185-92 pp. Amsterdam,
Netherlands. In Eng.
"This paper examines the issue of how
emigration alters real wages in the source country. The analysis is
carried out first using the two-class framework developed by
Rivera-Batiz (1984) and then by means of a simple model of scale
economies and imperfect competition. Our results indicate that, within
these contexts, real wages are likely to decline in response to
emigration if (1) the migrants possess a large fraction of physical or
human capital that they take with them when migration occurs, or (2)
emigration reduces the scale of operation of domestic firms. Our
conclusions are compared to those of Quibria (1989)."

The authors analyze the role of the

the opening of Egypt to international economic forces, which has taken
place since the early 1970s. Data are from two official national
surveys carried out in 1985 and 1987. The authors conclude that the
emigration of some 3.5 million Egyptian workers has benefited the
country's economy both by reducing pressures due to too many workers
seeking too few jobs and by providing the financial resources for the
development of small businesses in Egypt.

environmental factors whereas the reasons for choosing North Devon were
more often about jobs and house prices. This complexity and diversity

an important indicator of the process of regional development, despite
its low intensity. "Three factors predominantly characterize the
development and the present structure of the internal migration process
in the FRG: 1. A long-term reduction of the migration volume with
obvious stabilizing tendencies since the mid-seventies. 2. A distinct
selectivity of migration behavior owing to demographic and
socioeconomic characteristics. 3. A dramatic turnaround in the
direction of the spatial population development with consequences at
the national, interregional, and intraregional levels." Net migration
flows and directional flows between states are described based on
annual migration registration for the period
1970-1985.

Trends in internal migration

overall level of urbanization. Internal migration has had relatively
little impact, however, on regional population redistribution or levels
of urbanization outside Bangkok. Although it might be anticipated that
the overall rate of migration increased as Thailand underwent social
and economic development, such is not the case. Instead, the five-year
migration rate was lower in the second half of the 1970s than it was in
the second half of the 1960s. Closer examination shows that, while the
rate of rural-rural migration declined, there were increases in the
rate of rural-urban, urban-rural, and urban-urban migration." Data are
from the 1960, 1970, and 1980 censuses and from special migration

that the major urban areas of New South Wales and Victoria

the period 1976 to 1986. At both inter-State level and country-to-city
level, any Aboriginal migration flow in one direction tends to be
almost cancelled out by a flow of similar size in the opposite
direction. However, there are definite age-specific patterns. In
particular, there is movement of young single adults to the cities,
often counterbalanced by migration of somewhat older adults with their
children to the country. Aboriginal migrants have higher levels of
labour-force participation than equivalent categories of
non-migrants."

England. In Eng.
Internal migration in Poland since World War II is
described. The author finds that migration during this time was
characterized by large-scale spatial mobility owing to postwar
reconstruction and extensive industrialization. "Since then,
large-scale rural-to-urban flows, as well as net population relocations
from small- to middle-sized and large urban places, have remained among
the salient features of internal migrations in Poland. The evolution
of the age composition of the population, together with changes in
spatial development policies, have contributed to fluctuations in the
overall migration volume which decreased notably during the late 1960s,
expanded again during the 1970s, and fell sharply in the 1980s." Data
are from the 1978 census and a number of special migration surveys
conducted since 1975.

The author analyzes internal
migration in Canada, including the size of migration movements, migrant
characteristics, intercity migration, and interprovincial migration.
It is noted that during the second half of the twentieth century,
internal migration in Canada has been very influential in determining
spatial growth patterns, with the steady movement of the population
westward being the dominant trend. The propensity of migrants to move
based on their mother tongue is analyzed. Data are from censuses,
annual migration data from Statistics Canada, and income tax
files.

this paper the notion of a neutral migration process (NMP) is
introduced and applied to an analysis of the interprovincial migration
patterns of young adults and the elderly in Canada during the 1976-81
intercensal period. The paper is motivated by one 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 the basic
question but also yield further insights into observed migration
processes."

Internal migration in

feature of Guatemalan society since the middle of the last century when
both temporary and permanent labor migration became critical to the
development of export agriculture. Moreover, as Guatemala City, the
national capital, has grown to be the country's only metropolitan area,
it has attracted increasing numbers of migrants from rural areas and
small towns and cities....On the whole, women migrate more frequently
than do men, and the non-Indian component of the population is more
likely to move than are Indians. During the past two decades a
sizeable segment of the population has been displaced from rural
communities as a result of civil disruption." Emphasis is placed on
data from the 1973 and 1981 censuses.

The causes and consequences of internal migration
in Kenya are examined, and variations in migratory patterns are
analyzed for individuals, households, and communities of origin and
destination. Using data from surveys and censuses for the period
1948-1979, the author finds that "rural-urban migration has contributed
to the rapid growth of many urban centers, but the rural population of
the country has continued to grow and at a rate not substantially lower
than that found in the urban population. Thus, although rural-urban
migration is helping to alleviate the population pressure in rural
areas, it is also contributing to economic pressures and demands in
urban centers."

Migration patterns and spatial
distribution of the population of Ecuador are examined. "Population
redistribution in Ecuador since 1950 has largely been influenced by the
transformation and modernization of agriculture, and the commercial
cycles of the export economy. Population redistribution resulted in
rapid urban growth and concentration in the two principal cities, Quito
and Guayaquil, and in some secondary urban centers. Since the 1970s,
the eastern provinces (the Oriente) have received a significant flow of
migration with the rise of the petroleum industry and a vast
colonization zone. Urban-to-urban migration has been the largest flow,
followed by the rural-to-urban stream. Only in the Oriente region has
rural-to-rural migration remained important." Data are from the 1950,
1962, 1974, and 1982 censuses and two surveys conducted in 1975 and

"This article demonstrates that sectoral employment shifts
associated with the migration pattern changes of the 1970s are very
different than those for the period 1955-60 to 1965-70. Changing
competitiveness for jobs in manufacturing and other traditional basic
sectors of the economy cannot account for the greatly accelerated
levels of core-periphery net outflow that have been the dominant
characteristic of interstate movement during the 1970s and 1980s.
Instead, an interconnected set of activities that includes government,
services, trade, and construction is associated with the broadscale
shifts in the geographic pattern of the United States' population. The
causal linkage from migration to employment change assumed heightened
importance during the 1970s."

Internal migration in India is
examined for lifetime migrants by sex, age, place of birth, place of
enumeration, state, and rural or urban residence for the period
1961-1981. It is noted that internal migration has led to greater
concentrations of the population in urban areas. "This has meant
differentials in rural and urban population growth rates, in the
sex-age-marital status distributions of these populations, in the
occupational and industrial distributions of the workers, and in the
overall quality of life of the people living in rural and urban areas,
respectively. Furthermore, because of the sex-age selectivity in
migration, the phenomenon affects the fertility and mortality rates of
both the sending and receiving areas."

development of the agricultural sector. She also considers the
potential for linking rural communities more effectively to regional
and urban activities in order to address the employment problem even
when smallholder agricultural modernization is not a viable option.
Particular attention is paid to the role of temporary labor migration
in relieving rural poverty in the face of overpopulation and land
shortages and on the consequences of such
migration.

Judith; Taylor, Jeffrey R. China: surplus labour and
migration. Asia-Pacific Population Journal, Vol. 4, No. 4, Dec
1989. 3-20 pp. Bangkok, Thailand. In Eng.
Surplus labor force and
migration trends in China are examined, with emphasis on the impact of
underemployment in rural areas. "Government policy encourages surplus
labourers to transfer out of crop farming into agricultural sidelines
or non-agricultural work. Peasants are urged to stay where they are,
shifting jobs without shifting location; however, many rural areas are
poorly endowed for providing alternative employment, so their surplus
workers must also leave the village to find work. Many do not formally
migrate, but rather move on a seasonal basis or set up 'temporary'
residence in an urban place. This 'floating' population has been
escalating rapidly in recent years....[The authors argue] that China's
cities and towns can absorb millions of surplus labourers from rural
areas each year, to the mutual benefit of sending and receiving
areas."

The authors
analyze migration in Ecuador, with a focus on the definitive character
of rural-urban movements and the complexity of the migration process.
Sections are included on historical and contemporary migration in
Ecuador; migration patterns of peasants and the urban labor force; and
a case study of migrants from Puesetus in Quito.

The relationship between migration and urban economic
development in Shanghai, China, and Bangkok, Thailand, is examined and
compared. Consideration is given to the impact of in-migration on the
growth of both cities, changes in their migration patterns, and the
effect of each city's migration policy on its migration patterns.
Implications for cities in other developing countries are discussed.
Data are from official sources for China and
Thailand.

cities of Poland are analyzed and compared. The focus is on how
differences in the age distribution of the migrant population affect
the population dynamics of the cities
concerned.

of households in a rural community of Japan in relation to demographic
and occupational change. Journal of Human Ergology, Vol. 17, No.
2, Dec 1988. 139-50 pp. Tokyo, Japan. In Eng.
The depopulation of
rural communities in Japan during the twentieth century is examined
using the example of Kitakawachi in the Noto peninsula. The authors
note that whereas a shortage of available land was the main cause of
out-migration in the early 1900s, rural-urban migration to find
salaried employment has become widespread since the 1960s. The
consequence of out-migration is that only 8 of the 37 households in the
community now contain a married couple of reproductive
age.

Dhaka, Bangladesh. In Eng.
The author examines the determinants of
rural-to-urban migration in India. Findings indicate that rural
out-migration is most affected by the number of persons who had
previously migrated from the same village, the distance from the
village to the nearest large city or town and main road, the sex ratio
of the village, and the educational level of its inhabitants. Data are
from a 1984 survey.

"The broad objective
of this study is to examine the nature of rural to urban migration [in
India] in order to provide theoretical answers to some of the questions
concerning the determinants, patterns and consequences of the movement
process at the micro level, i.e. at the level of individual, household
and village. The work tries to identify and explain the stress
situations which cause people to move out of their native villages, to
determine the kinds of opportunities which people usually look for at
the urban destination, to study the volume and pattern of migration,
and to examine the socio-economic and demographic implications of
migration."
