"The proposed model is based on the
principle that sociocultural, economic and political developments work
through a number of variables, to increase the propensity to migrate
and, hence, influence internal migration and urbanisation....The
utility of this model is that it will make it easier to carry out
empirical studies of the determinants of migration and urbanisation."

"Over the past decade...many techniques have been developed and
models have been proposed which [make] it possible for analysts to use
data from one census to compute interregional migration, emigration and
to construct migration life tables with or without mortality included.
Some of these techniques can be directly applicable to African
data....Others however need some modification before they can be
applicable. The purpose of this paper is to review some of these
techniques and suggest modifications to be made or questions that can
be used to elicit information needed for their application. Attention
will be focused on multiregional demography and the various indirect
estimation techniques that are possible within
it."

"Using estimates and projections, the paper first
analyzes the past and future contribution of immigration to population
growth in Canada....Immigration, and to a lesser extent the subsequent
internal migration of the foreign-born, has an important impact on the
geographic distribution of Canada's population, accentuating the
regional inequalities in relative population sizes. The composition of
the foreign-born by place of origin has changed considerably over the
various periods of immigration....Both for Quebec and the rest of
Canada, immigration reduces the relative strength of the French
language in Canada."

long associated with women's migration, but first I discuss briefly
both problems in studies of migration and the evidence for and
consequences of skilled worker movement....I have suggested...that
women tend to fill a much narrower range of jobs than do men, and that
financial problems in urban areas, the facts of maternity and
non-marriage, have brought about significant changes in both population
and 'traditional' residential group structures in the rural areas."

The author identifies
conflicts between natives and migrants in the town of Gebze, Turkey,
that have become common during the last 25 years of rapid
industrialization and labor migration. "Three areas of conflict are
predominant in Gebze: the struggle for land and the allocation of
municipal resources; the job market; and conflict arising from cultural
differences. There are two dimensions of conflict, class cleavage, and
ethnicity, both of which at least partly involve voluntary associations
as organized interest groups. So not only is there conflict, but it is
organized conflict with important political
implications."

idealised conditions, a population consisting of different
subpopulations with different economic activities will evolve into a
differentiated population pattern. Each member of the subpopulations
has the possibility to migrate between locations stimulated by rational
economic reasons. This idea, which seems almost self-evident on the

The author examines the impact of
international migration on developing countries. "The proposition
presented here is that the governments of most developing countries
attempt to utilise legal migration to facilitate economic growth.
Under agreements made with labour-short countries, contract workers
emigrate under fairly strict conditions imposed by receivers. By and
large, developing countries have been unable, and largely unwilling, to
prevent the emigration of their professional and skilled workers to
developed countries on a permanent basis. And in view of the
characteristic pressure of population on resources, most developing
countries are not willing to admit immigrants for permanent residence
although they readily accept transient professionals for short
periods."

"The objective of this paper is to focus on the
link between immigration and emigration [in Canada]. First, an
historical view to determine the extent of a relationship between these
two types of international population movements is taken. Then the
subsequent emigration of immigrants themselves is estimated. In so
doing, the 'flow' of immigrants from various parts of the world along
with their 'stock' at the subsequent censuses is looked at." It is
found that "departures are somewhat higher for immigrants from
countries culturally similar to Canada, and for persons who are over 50
years of age on arrival. About 60 per cent of emigration from Canada
in the period 1961-86 consists of the departure of previous
immigrants....The paper ends with a discussion of the dynamics of
return migration and its importance to Canadian immigration
policy."

helps explain why they, of all the immigrant groups in Ghana, left the

nonmigrants who were interviewed as a control group. Although the
elasticity of the demand for female domestic personnel is much smaller
than that for male migrants, it was found that recruitment for female
labor migrants has increased considerably in recent years. The
enormous demand for foreign employment has led to a thriving
recruitment sector and to numerous illegal activities also among
authorized employment agents. Currently, prospective labor migrants
have to incur huge debts to finance
migration."

international migration. Institute of British Geographers:
Transactions, Vol. 15, No. 2, 1990. 177-92 pp. London, England. In Eng.
"British emigration is now dominated by skilled transient movements
rather than traditional settler emigration movements. This switch
requires new frameworks for migration analysis. A migration channels
approach is advocated with attention focused on the roles of the
internal labour markets of multi-national companies, international
recruitment agencies and international skill transfers by small- and
intermediate-sized companies in moulding contemporary skilled
migration. The migration processes which have emerged in relation to
the operation of these three channels can be differentiated in terms of
migrant characteristics, the status of migration contracts and patterns
of movement. The regional dimension is highlighted in this article by
contrasting the experience of recent Scottish emigration with that of
the South-East of England. Three data sources (the International
Passenger Survey, the results of a survey questionnaire, and company
case study material) are employed to illustrate the nature of Britain's

of kinship on seventeenth-century immigration to Canada.
Collection de Tires a Part, No. 262, [1989]. [23] pp. Universite de
Montreal, Departement de Demographie: Montreal, Canada. In Eng.
The
authors explore the effect of family networks on migration from France
to Canada in the seventeenth century using Canadian parish registers
and nominal censuses of the period. A typology of kinship linkages is
drawn up, with a focus on family characteristics, the number of
generations within the network, and the drawing power of family ties.
The number of French immigrants returning to France is also studied to
understand kinship as a retention factor.

"This paper examines the
household composition of two first-generation immigrant groups in the
United States: Dominicans and Colombians. The objectives of this
study are to provide a detailed description of key household
transitions of these migrants, and to determine the extent to which
differences in background, migration, and household characteristics
influence their household transitions." Findings indicate that "before
migration, immigrant households tend to be complex and non-nuclear in
structure. With time, both groups tend to move in with nuclear family
members. The differences in the transition patterns result both from
differences in the nature of the migration and from other unspecified
differences related to ethnic origins and
sex."

contrasting themes: the resurgence of the concept of national
sovereignty concerning the control of the labor force, and the
development of the concept of free mobility of labor within the
European Community. The second part considers a number of problems
associated with labor migration, including those associated with
moving, integrating into the labor force, social integration, and
discrimination. The third and final part discusses the implications of
the 1992 legislation on migration flows within the Community and in

economy over the period from 1970 to 1984....The results suggest that
remittances have had a strong positive impact on GNP in Egypt." The

"It appears that the level of existing S&T capacity in a country
shapes the content and medium of S&T transfers, as well as the
direction of the population movements that occur. While developed
countries send skilled migrants to developing countries, they receive
foreign students from them. Moreover, a country's development
timetable and its income levels will determine the extent to which
investments can be made in technology."

"The past decade has been one of unprecedented change in the
pattern and organization of mine labor recruitment in Southern Africa.
Using detailed data on recruitment patterns in Botswana, this article
supports the view that recent changes have initiated a self-sustaining
trend whereby certain flows of foreign labor into South Africa will
decline unabated into the foreseeable future. This results from a
shift in general recruiting policy from one of encouraging external
migrant labor flows--by expanding recruitment networks and employing a
variable and transient workforce--to one of retrenchment and labor
stabilization biased in favor of internalized labor
supplies."

"In
this paper behavioral models of international labor and nonlabor
migration are presented. The models are based on the concept of chain
migration, where the immigrant stock, differentiated by the duration of
stay, induces and directs future migration flows. Three roles of the
immigrant stock in inducing the inflow of potential migrants are
identified: provider of assimilation aid; transmitter of information;

and the University of Pisa and held in March 1990 in San Minato, Italy,
on international migration policies and female migrant status. The
conference dealt with such topics as the impact of female status on
migration selectivity, the effect of acculturation on the roles and
status of migrant women, the status of female migrants as compared to
that of native women, and returning female
migrants.

benefits on the probability of migration of the unemployed.
Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 30, No. 3, Aug 1990. 349-58 pp.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In Eng.
"By ignoring individual
unemployment compensation benefits and conditions of job termination,
past migration research has concluded that personal unemployment
doubles the likelihood of interstate labor-force migration. Findings
from the present study indicate that aggregating the unemployed,
without adjusting for these two factors, overstates the probability of
migration for the involuntarily unemployed benefit recipient and
understates the likelihood of migration for the voluntarily unemployed
benefit recipient. The results suggest that federal discretionary
unemployment-compensation programs, which are implemented during
recessionary periods, likely serve to retard out-migration of those who
are involuntarily unemployed." Data are from a 1982 sample of
unemployed U.S. workers.

the agrarian social structure of this country is rooted in the
historical evolution of the land tenure system. The analysis indicates
a tentative support to the argument that the unequal hierarchical

which migration takes place."

from their highland homes to work in the coastal districts of Papua New
Guinea. This was a circular migration within their own country, for
labor purposes only. The men did not take their families with them,
and there was no element of redistribution of population from a highly
populated area as there has been in migration schemes in the adjoining
areas of Southeast Asia...."

the absence of children's guardians. The paper also looks at the ways
in which people in a village in the Matatiele district of the Transkei

considering how changes in household compositions over a two-year

by, a wider system of social values which form the basis of a

issues, such as what constitutes status or success and the goals of
each particular social grouping. Return migration of the type
discussed in our study of Kingston, Jamaica, has important implications
for the overall migration process. Of foremost importance is its role
in strengthening an ideology that combines a system of inherited values
(in this case regarding the meaning of education) with distinct social

individuals migrating to the city, and instead considers the importance
of the labour market, and of changes in methods of obtaining housing,
i.e. entitlement relations, in a situation of declining urban incomes."
The author uses Nairobi, Kenya, as an example. Findings indicate that
it is the urban wage structure and not the rate of migration that is
the main determinant of urban problems.

"This is the first of two articles dealing with broad
population movements within and between metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan areas in Canada during the recent past. Here we focus
on net migration rates and migration flows. We describe trends toward
or away from metropolitan areas, the geographical distribution of these
trends, and we distinguish between internal and international
migration." Data are from annual statistics for the period
1966-1982.

"This is the second of two articles dealing with broad
population movements within and between metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan areas in Canada during the recent past....Here we focus
on the evolving relationship between stationary equilibrium and
corresponding observed population patterns. The difference between the
two gives a measure of stationary disequilibrium in the system. We
link stationary disequilibrium with the decision to migrate and we
provide some evidence for this relationship. In our study, internal
net migration and stationary disequilibrium serve as aggregate, partial
descriptors of recent metropolitan concentration and dispersion
tendencies in Canada." Data are from annual statistica for the period
1966-1982.

"This paper considers West African rural-urban migration and
associated labour markets from the perspective of the region's overall
development since the Second World War. Three features of this process
stand out--state formation during this century, both colonial and
postcolonial; incorporation into the world economy through export of
primary products in exchange for manufactures, and, increasingly, food
and energy; and expansion of the home market without significant
industrialization or agricultural mechanization....My questions are:
How has postwar migration on such a massive scale been made possible?
Can the current level of urbanization be sustained; and what is likely
to happen to labour markets if it cannot?"

1980-1987. Sociology and Social Research, Vol. 74, No. 3, Apr
1990. 168-73 pp. Los Angeles, California. In Eng.
The author
analyzes racial change in the Chicago, Illinois, area during the period
1980-1987. "Acceleration of minority suburbanization has been
identified as a major component of metropolitan migration....Consistent
support has been reported for the position that black suburbanization
in particular has not markedly reduced levels of segregation....While
this study does not refute such conclusions, it does modify them by
finding increasing numbers of municipalities with small black inroads
and simultaneous black and white population increase....The possibility
of a long-term deconcentration of suburban blacks is therefore
suggested."

Since 1960, out-migration
of native junior and senior high school graduates and young farmers
from rural mountain villages of Japan has severely diminished the local
populations. The author discusses how this out-migration affects
demographic aging, increased care needs for the elderly, and local
economic growth. The government's attempts to solve the out-migration
problems are assessed.

"Using Iranian data (1956-76), this paper reexamines the
classic debate on rural-push versus urban-pull migration. Following a
discussion of the push vs. pull distinction, a method is introduced to
operationalize such a distinction for empirical testing. The
connection between rural inequality and push versus pull factors is
then analyzed for Iran. Drawing on an earlier study which showed the
dominance of push factors among the landless and pull factors among the
landed farmers, this paper shows that overall migration (among both
groups) responded more to push than to pull factors during the 1956-76
period."

"The objective of this book is to examine the relationships
between socioeconomic factors and rural migration in Nepal. The
research analyses migration decision-making at individual and household
levels to explore aspects of migration as an adjustment strategy.
There are four parts to this analysis: 1. Examination of historical
relations among landholders, traditional labour obligations of the
peasantry and the role of caste; 2. Use of survey data to identify
processes of socioeconomic differentiation...over a period of 10 years,
from 1970 to 1980; 3. Examination of the circumstances under which an
individual or the entire household selects migration as an adjustment
strategy...; 4. Investigation of the consequences of out-migration and
in-migration with respect to social and economic welfare of the
household at origin and destination
communities."

"To find out the
effects of migration on population growth rate [in India], some
migration policies are worked out in this paper to compare the
reduction in the rate of increase in population growth in rural areas
due to rural-urban migration of males with that of females' migration
at one or more age levels. That is, to determine what proportions of
female migrants at one or more age level would result in the same
reduction in the rate of population growth as that resulting from
husband-wife separation due to male migration....The second objective
of this paper is to work out the size of population for both long and
short periods under stability and stationary
conditions."
