Migration flows to and within Germany
and the political factors affecting these patterns are the focus of
this paper. "In the first section of this chapter we discuss in some
detail the migration from 1950 until 1989, between and from outside
East and West Germany. [Next] we use the historical data on migration
and natural population change in West and East Germany as parts of
scenarios for a unified Germany in the next decades. There are two main
categories of scenarios. First we make a set of pure migration
scenarios; then we combine a likely migration scenario with two
assumptions for fertility in the context of
unification."

"This article represents an attempt to develop a
formal theory of decision making in human migration. Other
examinations of the decision process have had several shortcomings,
such as examining residential preferences without reference to other
constraints acting on the migration decision, which are addressed in
this paper. Further, the link between migration decision-making and
aggregate rates of migration have been left unspecified or it has been
assumed that detailed microdata are needed to apply decision-making
frameworks to migration data. This paper aims to reexamine these
issues within migration decision theory, and presents conclusions which
suggest that decision theory has a much broader application to
migration data than previously specified."

communities, including ethnic minorities and second generation groups;
(iii) future immigration from non-EC member states....The article
explains that, in addition to policy-related mutations inherent in the
completion of the internal market, other factors (demographic changes
and insufficient enrolment of national graduate students in key
disciplines) and issues (emergence of atypical groups such as second
generation and Eastern European migrants), are due to generate new
patterns and modified interests in European labour migration after
1992."

"A major impediment to Third

originates from a variety of factors which, to a notable extent, differ
from more traditional causes identified in most other developing
countries. In addition to political management of human resources, the
organization itself of the educational system and the regularisation of
internal migration are basic causes of China's massive brain
emigration. Through various relations maintained by the Chinese
Government with its expatriate communities, and in order to promote
(and finance) the economic and technological process engaged in the
early 1980s, a number of measures and incentives to integrate more
rationally the resident professionals and to promote the return of
expatriate brains have been adopted....Uncertainties today impede any

Bolivian (mainly from Cochabamba) immigrants come to Argentina in
search of better job opportunities, female immigration does not result
generally from an individual decision, but from the adjustment to
family, implying a loss in status and independence as compared to their
place of origin. Job opportunities for Bolivian female workers are
reduced mainly on account of their poor literacy levels; thus they
often work for very low wages, deprived of any social
benefits."

education plays a key role in location choice, reducing geographic
concentration and the likelihood of being in cities with a high
concentration of fellow countrymen and increasing the probability of
changing locations after arrival in the United States; (3) internal
migration within the United States occurs more frequently among
immigrants than natives and facilitates the process of assimilation for

This paper offers a framework for the comparative

identifies "the migration of four analytically distinct categories of
person which highlights the role of the state in the reproduction of
the imagined community of nations. That role is carried out in the
context of a more general process of the regulation of scarcity, in the
course of which people are simultaneously included in and excluded from
the hierarchy of economic, political and ideological positions in the
nation-state. Of special interest is the content of the processes of
signification and categorisation that are generated in the inclusionary
and exclusionary processes. The countries selected for analysis are
France, the Netherlands and Britain."

returning home. Considering the high proportion of returnees, a
positive or negative correlation between region of origin and of

permanent settlement. The authors conclude that the Argentinean
society in its Italian component is the result of Southern rather than

in the rural areas, French was still not the dominant language.
Pioneer families who arrived before 1680 had a relatively large

Quantity-quality trade-offs are considered for both immigrant and
native workers. Medium- and long-run labor-supply responses by natives
to immigrant-induced changes in wage rates are shown to have
second-order effects which substantively affect the impacts of
immigrants. The impact of immigration policy depends on the quality as

most likely, but behavioural divergence occurs in return

"This dissertation reports the results of
research aimed at understanding why some countries send mostly women as
immigrants to the United States while other countries send mostly men.
Using both country case studies and multivariate analyses, I examined
how conditions in countries themselves affect the emigration of women
or men and the extent to which these processes are universal across
national origins....Contrary to the usual way of understanding
international migrants, i.e. that men are temporary labor migrants or
that they migrate first and women follow, women cross international
borders from countries where there is relative equality between the
sexes, salaried employment opportunities, and rather weak family
ties."

"This study
focuses on underlying demographic, environmental, and socio-economic
factors which encourage international migration as an institution. By
'migration' I refer to the movement of human beings from one place of
residence to another. But I am also speaking of migration as an
institutionalized phenomenon characterized by social patterns of
occurrence, not simply a random movement of individuals across
territorial space. By 'social patterns' I am speaking especially of
migration streams, an assemblage of migrants having, over a period of
time, common origins and destinations." The focus is on historical
migrations from the fourteenth century in Europe through to
transatlantic labor migration from the seventeenth century
onward.

"This chapter
addresses an important demographic research and policy topic by
discussing patterns and trends in recent illegal immigration to the
United States. It begins with a brief historical background followed
by two sections that describe and analyze time-series data on the
number of apprehensions of illegal migrants along the U.S.-Mexican
border between 1977 and 1988, a period when average yearly
apprehensions of illegal aliens exceeded one million. The chapter
concludes with some speculations on the future of illegal immigration
to the United States and on the future likely effectiveness of recent
reforms to control it."

author to make explicit comparisons among the groups of undocumented
and legal Mexican immigrants and to study the effects of legal status
on their living conditions. The author also examines the findings of a
number of other social scientists, providing a comprehensive summary of
the present data on undocumented Mexicans in the United States. In his
conclusion, he turns to an evaluation of policy options for
incorporating this group into the U.S. population and for controlling
the future flow of such immigrants."

immigration. In: World population: approaching the year 2000,
edited by Samuel H. Preston. Jul 1990. 60-72 pp. Sage Publications:
Newbury Park, California/London, England. In Eng.
The author
investigates the social and economic origins of immigration throughout
the world. "The large-scale movement of immigrants from developing to
developed regions has both economic and social foundations.
Economically, immigration originates not from simple wage differentials
between poor and rich countries but from the spread of economic
development to rapidly growing Third World populations and from a
persistent demand for low-wage workers in developed nations.
Immigration has many social foundations, but the formation of migrant
networks is probably the most important. Networks build into the
migration process a self-perpetuating momentum that leads to its growth
over time, in spite of fluctuating wage differentials, recessions, and
increasingly restrictive immigration policies in developed
countries."

The author analyzes Italy's role in
the current changing scenario of international migration. He notes
that Italy holds a key position with regard to the increasing migration
pressure on the European Community from the underdeveloped countries
surrounding the Mediterranean. He suggests that while closing the
frontiers to immigration would be impractical, an alternative policy
encouraging the entry of migrants with selected characteristics could
help alleviate labor supply problems inherent in current Italian
demographic trends.

"This
article argues that traditional, labour migration flows to Western
Europe are unlikely to resume in the near future and the commitment of
the European Community to the free movement of labour is likely to
erode as a consequence of anti-immigrant illiberalism in Western
Europe. Anti-immigrant illiberalism in several, major labour-importing
states is evident in: the semi-permanent politicisation of state
immigration policy; increasing popular support for xenophobic political
forces; the appropriation of anti-immigrant votes by established
political parties of the right; and the abandonment by left-wing
parties of liberal immigration and immigrant-welfare
policies."

Britain, 1945-1951. Journal of Law and Society, Vol. 16, No. 4,
Winter 1989. 426-42 pp. Oxford, England. In Eng.
The author focuses
on the efforts made by the Labour government in the United Kingdom to
meet the labor shortage that occurred following World War II by
encouraging immigration. In particular, he considers the paradox in
which the efforts to attract immigrants were directed toward Europe,
although changes were being made at the same time to the British
nationality law to ensure that the populations of British colonies and
Commonwealth countries remained British citizens. "In the first
section of the paper, I provide an overview of the legal framework
determining inward migration flows and of the migration flows
themselves. Thereafter, I analyse the main determinants of the
migrations and the main themes that ran through the political debate
about immigration during the late 1940s as a basis for confronting the
previously identified paradox."

The
author questions whether the distinction between the American model of
immigration, involving a pluralist approach with the coexistence of a
multitude of distinct ethnic groups, and the French model, in which
immigrants are expected to assimilate into the French norm, remains
valid. She argues that the trend in France is away from integrationist
concepts and toward the recognition of distinct cultural and ethnic
groups within French society.

This study focuses on the
macroeconomic, sectoral, and labor market consequences of international
migration in New Zealand, with particular emphasis on the relationship
between migration and long-term economic trends. The Joanna model of
the New Zealand economy is used to estimate the effects of changes in
net migration on prices, quantities, and macroeconomic aggregates, such
as gross domestic product, after markets have had time to adjust, up to
the year 2001. The authors conclude that the liberalization of the
immigration laws in 1987, and the consequent increase in immigration,
will probably accelerate the rate of economic
growth.

to migrate internationally. A single-equation logit model is specified
to distinguish movers from nonmovers where the explanatory variables
include demographic and occupationally related measures. The model is

whom reside in Buenos Aires, Argentina. One of the important results
suggests that occupationally related variables are more important in
explaining male migration decisions than those made by
females."

general characteristics of labor immigration through the schemes.
Finally, by means of a small random sample of applications and issues,
it presents details on particular aspects of the immigration. It
demonstrates that current labour immigration through the system is
selective: most of those entering with long-term permits are highly
skilled, well paid, and moving within the internal labor markets of

"The term 'diaspora' evokes both the idea of dispersal and the
idea of solidarity between immigrants, or, in other words, their
continued attachment to their country of origin. The case of North
Africans in Western Europe illustrates the role of these new
'diasporas'. Their role is vital, though as yet unrecognised, and
consists in furthering the development of relations between the host
country and their country of origin. However, in the immediate future,
a problem will become apparent in the EEC [European Economic
Community], as there will undoubtedly be repercussions for immigrants
from outside of the EEC when the principle of free movement between
member countries comes into force in 1993."

"This dissertation is an investigation of the effect of welfare on
the outmigration of three [U.S.] low-income populations, mothers with
minor children and no resident husband (solo mothers), single men and
women without children, and married couples with children, using data
from the 1984 Panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation
(SIPP)....The indirect effects of welfare recipiency on migration
through its effects on labor force status, living arrangements, and
marital status change are also examined."

Changes in the internal migration patterns of
blacks in the United States are examined. "The primary hypotheses of
this paper are that: 1) racial factors, such as legal, political, and
social institutions that supported racial discrimination, are important
in explaining differences in the migration patterns of blacks and
whites; and 2) changes in these racial factors since the mid-1950s,
especially changes in Southern legal, political, and social
institutions, are important in explaining the changing migration
patterns of blacks and the convergence of migration patterns of blacks
and whites since about 1970. These hypotheses are tested in this paper
using an empirical model of interstate migration for the 1965-70 and
1975-80 time periods."

comparing observed and expected age structures in 1981. The expected

mortality tables, under the hypothesis of a closed population. People
born after the 1970 census are disregarded." The results emphasize the

"This article explores the broad
topic of how the selective character of human migration and changing
family circumstances may shape the intensity of local need among the
future elderly. At origin, it is the healthier, better educated, and
more affluent elderly who venture to migrate; and although people
migrate from a broad spectrum of origins, they flow selectively to a
narrow spectrum of destinations. At the same time, contemporary
changes in family makeup and internal division of labor alter their
capacity to care for elderly members....With 1990 [U.S.] census data,
it will be possible to extend certain findings and consider their
implications for how future aging and dependency may express themselves
locally."

The quantity of migrants is well predicted by a gravity model and the
analysis of the residuals shows interesting effects of geographical
selection. The composition of the flows reveals that the cities do
more [to] filter the populations according to their age than following
their socio-professional groups. In both cases, there is little

literature, can be viewed as a supplier of labour, an investor in human
capital and a consumer of regional amenities such as public goods. The

experiences....All of the empirical analyses are based on data from the
Public Use Microdata Files for the 1970 and 1980 censuses of Puerto

associated with negative employment outcomes in Puerto Rico. There
also is some evidence for considering migration status a source of wage

"This research seeks to explain rural-to-urban
migration within developing countries....The findings of this research
support the argument that individual and family characteristics are
important in understanding the determinants of migration decisions.
There is a significant improvement in our analysis if family structure
is seen as an important variable in predicting migration. By looking
at Malaysian women the family context of migration decisions is
exemplified. The hazard rates of migration differ substantially for
individuals by their area of origin, education, and ethnicity, and
family factors, such as marital status, residential status,
particularly home ownership, and family wealth."

rural population of Poland. The first part examines out-migration from
rural areas and its impact on peasant households, using data from a
1984 survey involving some 19,700 rural families. The second part
considers the relationship between natural increase and migration in
rural areas over the period 1976-1987. The third part examines the
migration intentions of young people living in rural areas, using data
from a 1987 survey. The fourth part is concerned with migration back
to rural areas from the cities, using data from a 1983
survey.
