Donald J. What survival ratios should be used to estimate
net migration between 1970 and 1980 in the U.S.? A research note.

"This research note reports on a small
experimental exploration of [estimating census survival ratios]....It
produces...a set of [U.S.] census survival ratios for the 1970-1980
decade which, if used with margin for error of measurement (not more
than 2 percent of the base population) can be used to uncover at least
the major dimensions of net migration in any area, by age, sex and
race....[Results reveal] that a practicable set of census survival
ratios can be constructed and widely used to link net migration in this
period to migration for earlier periods. In particular, the use of the
native born population, and of life table ratios have been shown to be
of relevance."

"This paper highlights a
difference between migrants and the native-born, namely, a positive
probability of return migration. The analysis demonstrates that this
probability results in migrants saving more than 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."

The author notes that in
many parts of Africa, people have traditionally showed their discontent
with the existing political community by migrating away from their
jurisdiction. However, because of political and resource constraints
that have evolved over the past 100 years, such options are no longer
generally available. In contrast, people tend to migrate toward urban
areas, which are the centers of political power. The implications of
this change for the political future of the continent are
assessed.

"A classic case where out-migration interacted with many other
geographical phenomena is provided by rural Ireland in the nineteenth
century. The apparent turning point was the Great Famine of the 1840s,
but the areas with the greatest suffering from starvation did not
necessarily show the greatest population decline, suggesting that other
forces were active. Considerable economic and social changes were
already taking place before the Famine: fertility was being reduced,
later marriage was becoming established and considerable emigration was
already taking place. Immediately after the Famine those areas which
had been hardest hit often reverted to pre-Famine conditions and did
not show strong population decline until the 1870s. The Famine was a
most serious event, but the modernization of Irish rural life, which
linked emigration with changes in family structure, agriculture and
population numbers, was more important in bringing about geographical
change."

"This monograph focuses on the patterns of
migration by older adults [in Canada], on the consequences of this

migration, and on the impact of later life migration for Canadian
policies. [The author] critically reviews the current literature,
dissects existing census data pertaining to migration, and presents a

Moreover, migration patterns in Canada are compared to those for
Australia, France, Great Britain and the United States. Throughout,
the author employs a socio-demographic approach to mobility. This
approach involves an analysis of the objective characteristics of
various population subgroups (for example, defined by age, gender,
socio-economic status, education, marital status and mother tongue) and
of various sending and receiving locations (that is, communities,
provinces, regions); and, an analysis of the subjective characteristics
of individuals who move or stay in place (that is, attitudes, values,

Analysis, Vol. 22, No. 4, Oct 1990. 283-300 pp. Columbus, Ohio. In Eng.
The author criticizes researchers who continue to analyze internal
migration in terms of net migrants. "Net migration models are
misspecified because the rates that they use confound changing
migration propensities with changing population stocks. Moveover, they
obscure regularities in age profiles of migration and thereby further
misspecify the spatial dynamics generating observed settlement
patterns. Thus, the use of the net migration rate as the dependent
variable in explanatory models of migration can produce a
misspecification of the fundamental relationships that are subject of
inquiry. This paper considers deficiencies of the net migration
concept and illustrates them with numerical
examples."

Consumption of major public services and payment of major taxes by the

observed that even after they have stayed for 35 years in Canada,
immigrant households are a source of public fund transfers to
non-immigrants. This confirms the life-cycle net benefit hypothesis.

"This article argues that the
semiperipheral development of Puerto Rico since around 1975 has led to
the creation of a relative labor surplus in the formal sectors of the
economy while at the same time increasing the demand for cheap labor in
the informal service sector. Thus, Puerto Ricans leave their country
in search of good jobs in the United States while Dominicans migrate to
Puerto Rico and find work in the informal sector. The return migration
of Puerto Ricans has also been significant, but is due to their strong
national culture, rather than economic reasons. The article concludes
that migration to and from Puerto Rico is of a semiperipheral type
because it combines characteristics of migration previously described
as 'migration from the periphery to the center' and 'migration within
the periphery.' A precise definition of the semiperipheral
characteristics of Puerto Rico is given."

pp. Basic Books: New York, New York. In Eng.
"This book analyzes
the immigrant's role in the American economy....The essence of the
empirical evidence summarized here is that because of changes in U.S.
immigration policy and because of changing economic and political
conditions both here and abroad, the United States is currently
attracting relatively unskilled immigrants. For the most part, these
immigrants have little chance of attaining economic parity with natives
during their lifetimes. Although these immigrants do not greatly
affect the earnings and employment opportunities of natives, they may
have an even greater long-run economic impact because of their
relatively high poverty rates and propensities for participation in the
welfare system and because national income and tax revenues are
substantially lower than they would have been if the United States had
attracted a more skilled immigrant flow....The final section of the
book....compares the foreign-born populations in the United States with
the foreign-born populations in two other host countries (Australia and
Canada) and documents how changes in policy and economic conditions
alter the sorting of immigrant skills among host countries." Data are
from official U.S. sources and censuses from Australia and

"This paper addresses the relationship between migration and
development by examining the livelihood patterns of people in two well
established transnational migrant circuits which originated in villages
in the states of Zacatecas and Michoacan, Mexico. The analysis starts
by identifying and comparing three dimensions which play a crucial role
in defining distinct social and economic patterns at the level of the
migrant circuits: 1) origins, demography, community-level patterns of
local resource availability and use and employment in Mexico, 2)
patterns of migration and 3) incorporation in U.S. labor markets. This
is followed by a discussion of the investment of migrant earnings in
the villages, both for private ends and community projects." The focus
is on labor migration to the United States.

States. It is noted that this migration is driven primarily by the
existence of employment opportunities in the United States and that
there is little that sending countries can do to reduce these pull
factors. "Therefore, the paper concludes that the burden of reducing
migration falls squarely on the United States itself. Measures are
discussed that might have the effect of reducing the demand for illegal
migrant labor and/or reducing the probability of success in entering
and remaining in the United States."

"Though recent discussions on brain

Indians to the United States has abated since the mid-seventies, this
impression may be based on a definitional sleight of hand: Human
capital transfers through international migration have not necessarily
receded just because there is a prima facie evidence of (a) a
stabilisation of the total number of immigrants from India under the
numerically 'limited' preference categories of the United States visa
system and (b) a decline in the share of 'principal' immigrants as
defined within the occupational preference categories of the U.S.

since 1975 and emigration is analyzed. The data are from a variety of
published sources. Information is provided on emigrant characteristics
and countries of destination. The consequences of this emigration for
Lebanon itself are also considered, including the impact on the labor
force and the effect of migrant
remittances.

"We estimate reduced
form equations for immigration to the United States by engineers,

countries. Explanatory variables include income, real GDP growth,
graduation in the United States, and study in each country of origin.
Additional explanatory variables are foreign student enrollment in the
United States, lagged immigration, total immigration from each country,
and a dummy variable which accounts for implementation of restrictions
on permanent visas in 1972-73....Because immigration appears to respond
to labor shortages in the United States and surpluses in countries of
origin, our results suggest that U.S. immigration quotas have not
prevented Third World professionals from responding to economic
incentives."

Commission Working Paper, No. 3, Feb 1989. 17 pp. Commission for the

The author attempts to determine whether
labor migration from developing to developed countries accelerates
development in the country of origin and thus reduces the pressure to
emigrate. He concludes that there is little evidence that such
migrations resolve development problems and that, despite agreement
that labor-sending and labor-receiving countries should cooperate in
managing worker migration and development in order to reduce emigration
pressures, there is no successful example or model of such
cooperation.

The relationship

from Central America to the United States is explored. "This paper
argues that new strategies are needed for averting the problem of
refugee and related movements. In fact, development can precipitate
these movements where it creates social, political and economic
dislocations." The author suggests that the provision of development
assistance to countries of first asylum could play a major role in
resolving refugee problems.

"This research note explores the macrolevel impact of
external migration on the demographic behavior of Caribbean islands.
The analysis provisionally argues that the massive mobility of
Caribbean peoples in the postwar era--primarily of young, reproductive
(especially female), working-age cohorts--has inversely affected
natality and population growth in sending societies, and reversed these
effects in receiving societies. Results further suggest secondarily
and quite indirectly that migration may also influence fertility
patterns in similar directions through the impacts of age-sex
imbalances on mating behavior and family
formation."

Fall 1990. 577-90 pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"Present
theories treat migration as one basic movement. [In the present
paper,] conceptualization of economic migration as collective rather
than mass behavior has been proposed to overcome present theoretical
inadequacies and facilitate empirical analyses. Permanent migration
has been correctly regarded as statistically aggregated,
institutionalized behavior. Temporary international labor migration is,
however, a different phenomenon--one that is more accurately portrayed
as a collective product. It is the culmination of nontraditional
interactions between three major groups: the migrants, their employers
and host nation-states. The development of collective behavior,
including a noninstitutionalized role of the state, may be illustrated
by Western European guestworkers and United States illegal aliens.
Advantages of the conceptualization include easier cross-cultural
comparisons, guidelines for predictability and recognition of the dual
role of the state as both major actor in the migration process and
social control agent."

migration and to refugee movements. It is noted that the experience of
developed countries with labor immigration has led to tighter
restrictions in a period of increasing pressure to emigrate from
developing countries. The likelihood of continued conflicts in
developing countries leading to refugee movements is also established.
The author also considers the implications of the grouping of national
states into larger units, such as the European Community, and of
changes in exit policies in Eastern European countries and the
USSR.

questions the plausibility of the assumption of interregional

is compatible with the equilibrium assumption, and that recent relevant
research generally fails to support the idea that the U.S. economy is
in equilibrium. The association of higher rent levels with in-migration
is explained as a short-run phenomenon. If the spatial economy is in
disequilibrium, then the valuations of amenities assuming equilibrium
will be biased, being probably too low in areas of net in-migration and
too high in areas of net out-migration."

results with regard to policy variables provide new evidence that
federal transfers have resource (labour) allocation effects rather than
pure income redistribution effects and that workers move from high tax
regions to low tax regions. The results...argue for an inter-regional
migration policy for India as well as for other developing
countries."

"This study examines
the socioeconomic influence on migration frequency and transitory
movements in four Mexican regions. The analysis is based on data
gathered from the [Mexican Fertility Survey] 1976-1977, considering the
influences of...education, occupation, literacy, place of residence and
fertility. The methods used for this analysis were regression and
logistic regression." Aspects considered include patterns of internal
migration in Mexico, data sources, analysis of independent variables,
migration experiences, and age effects. A comment by Carlos Brambila
Paz is included (pp. 179-83).

"In this article historical patterns and recent trends in black
migration in the United States are examined. The purpose of the
article is two-fold: (1) to examine historical changes in the volume
and rates of migration between the southern region and nonsouthern
regions; and (2) to determine the relative impact of migration types on
the South's changeover to net in-migration during the 1975-1980
migration interval....The single most important factor influencing the
turnaround was a decrease in the number of southern-born blacks
migrating out of the region. This finding is contrary to much current
speculation about the role of return migrants in influencing the
South's changeover to net in-migration for the black
population."

"This article examines the elderly migration
and population redistribution process in four industrialized countries,
identifies their principal retirement regions, and analyzes the sources
of regional elderly population growth in these regions. It concludes
that the United Kingdom and the United States are approaching the final
stages of their 'elderly mobility transition,' whereas Japan is only
entering the first stage, with Italy occupying a position somewhere in
between."

during June 1988. The survey covered 755 residents in four shack areas
of Khayelitsha....The aim of the survey was to examine migration into
Khayelitsha. What were the residential and movement histories of
Khayelitsha shack residents: Where had they come from, why, and when?
How many were born outside of the Western Cape, and when had they
originally migrated into the area? How many times had they moved in
the Western Cape, and when? What ties did they have with their places
of origin?...The survey also provided basic household data, such as
household size, composition, and education. In addition, the survey
asked a few questions concerning AIDS."

information on the relationship between 1-year and 5-year migration
rates from CPS, and data on interaction between geographical and
demographic dimensions contained in the 5-year interstate migration
data from the 1980 census. The method produces a time series of annual

The internal
migration that has taken place in Lebanon since 1975 as a result of war
is analyzed. This includes both forced migration and migration to
avoid the fighting. A distinction is made between temporary migration
to avoid the actual fighting and permanent migration caused by
deliberate attempts by different groups to clear specific population
groups from selected areas in order to reduce political or religious
diversity.

This article analyzes interpersonal linkages between villagers and
urban dwellers and the effect on circular migration in Thailand.
"Using data from Northeast Thailand, it examines the prevalence of
urban social contacts, selectivities involved in such linkages, the
characteristics of the urban contacts themselves, the salience of the
interpersonal relationships, and the potential for the urban contact to
act as a sponsor for the villagers. Furthermore, using a prospective
research design, the impact of social contacts on subsequent
rural-urban mobility of villagers is examined." A distinction is made
between Bangkok and Northeastern Thai urban centers in order to
illustrate some of the obstacles to the decentralized urbanization
program in Thailand.

from a survey carried out in the cities of Uchal and Sterlitamak in the

results show that such reverse migration is related to job scarcity,
unsatisfactory economic or social status, and the desire to cultivate a
private plot of land.

Rural-urban migration among the elderly is considered "within
the context of urbanization and metropolitanization. More
specifically, this paper will review the findings from a recently
completed cross-national study...on the migration of older persons, as
well as [data from] other relevant studies, to determine the state of
our knowledge regarding the magnitude of flows to and from urban or
metropolitan areas, as well as information regarding the
characteristics and motivations of older persons making these moves.
In addition to reviewing the characteristics of migrants themselves, we
will also consider those characteristics of places which tend to make
them more or less attractive to older migrants." Countries considered
include Australia, Belgium, Hungary, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland,
and the United States.
