Eng.
"This research is an investigation of the migration of young
adults in an explicitly longitudinal context. Research on migration
has traditionally centered on identifying the reasons why people move.
That approach is enlarged in this research by shifting the emphasis to
investigations of why individuals remain at particular locations for
greater or lesser intervals of residence....[A] conceptual model [is
developed that] incorporates four...sources of population
heterogeneity: employment factors, mobility constraints, life-cycle
factors, and the acquisition of human capital. The model is
constructed to emphasize the role of migration history for influencing
the duration of the sojourn through these sources of population
heterogeneity." The geographical focus is on the United
States.
This work was prepared as a doctoral dissertation at Indiana
University.

"This article examines the methodology of comparisons
and the implicit choices that are made with regard to subject, unit of
comparison and level of analysis. Although comparisons can help
broaden our generalizations and make historical research more
scientific, as Simiand argued, the comparative method is largely
dependent on the construction of the comparative project itself.
Migration studies furnish a useful field for examining three different
types of comparative research: linear, convergent and divergent. In
the end, we suggest that a multi-comparative study, at an intermediary
level of analysis, can provide a new approach to migration studies,
that combines the universalistic and particular aspects of the
migration experience."

The authors examine the extent to which regional
disparities in economic prosperity are removed over time by migration
in response to wage differentials and differences in unemployment
rates. The study focuses on the United Kingdom during the period
1961-1982. The authors conclude that, although there is some evidence
that the market mechanism can remove regional inequalities in economic
prosperity, the process takes such a long time that other measures may
be needed.

The author proposes a new
method for the study of migration that is based on the reference spaces
chosen by migrants rather than on their physical movement from one
place to another. "This approach leads to the distinction between two
extreme types of migration: (1) as break, when the migrants' concerns
center around their place of arrival, and (2) as conservation when they
remain centered on their place of origin. In analyzing, for example,
the intra- and inter-generational behavior of migrants, one can provide
a methodological translation of these two notions. Applied to the Paris
area at the end of the 19th century, this translation allows us to
differentiate the migrants' modes of integration from their modes of
non-integration, by linking them in particular to their regional
origin."

The process of proletarianization
that is occurring among the peasantry in developing countries
associated with migration and working for wages in labor markets is
analyzed. The data concern migration among rural farm households in
southern Honduras since 1950 and were obtained in interviews undertaken
in the field in the 1980s. The results show that migration has become
a vital component of household survival strategies, because of the
failure of any single activity to provide an adequate living. The
significance of environmental constraints, population growth, and low
returns to labor is noted.

relative to the Golden Rule and the long-run elasticity of the interest
rate with respect to the technological level is sufficiently large, in
which case migration will be from the technologically-superior

"This article examines the
little-studied phenomenon of indirect geographic migration to the
United States, or the movement of persons whose country of last
permanent residence differed from their country of birth. Over 8
million records of legal immigrants to the United States were studied
for the period 1972-1987. Geographically indirect migration is shown
to be important, amounting to as many as 86,136 persons during a single
year. Primarily because of the dislocations of Southeast Asian refugees
from their homelands and their subsequent admittance to the United
States, indirect immigration increased during the 1980s. Moreover,
again somewhat due to refugees, the patterns of geographically indirect
movement changed during recent years. Political conditions in
countries of birth appear to be important in explaining these patterns,
as well as the age and skills of the indirect migrants
themselves."

whereabouts and divided the data in accordance with migration status.
The answers of the 35 who had migrated in the intervening period were
contrasted to those 65 who remained in [American] Samoa. The migrants
differed in several distinct areas. Migrants reported a higher degree
of peer-reliance as a personal adaptive strategy. Migrants also
reported larger numbers of individuals in social support networks, a
higher quality of support and more community involvement. They also
report less expressive display of anger. Those who did not migrate
reported a slightly better view of life in Samoa and abroad, as well as
better relations with their friends and neighbors. These findings
support a hypothesis that migrants are pre-selected to fit into migrant
communities and do not appear to be misfits who are unhappy with life

except for a limited period following the 'Six-Day War' of 1967, no

emigration from Israel, and the phenomenon can be adequately accounted
for by the general theory of normative regulation in modern

Studia Demograficzne, No. 1/99, 1990. 21-55 pp. Warsaw, Poland. In Pol.

The author examines the reliability of migration
statistics from Poland. "The relevant statistical sources used by the
Central Statistical Office of Poland have been described and [compared]
with the Ministry of Interior Statistics. Furthermore, the statistics
of migration between Poland and the Federal Republic of Germany have
been reconstructed on the basis of Statistisches Bundesamt estimates.
The Polish statistics have also been [compared] with those of major
receiving countries of Polish emigration (Austria, Sweden, USA, Canada
and Australia). In conclusion the author finds...that the official
Polish statistics reflect only a half of the actual number of permanent
emigrants from Poland."

Irish on the move. Geography Review, Vol. 3, No. 3, 1989. 23-7
pp. Deddington, England. In Eng.
Trends in emigration from Ireland
over time are reviewed. "During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
overseas migration to the United States and seasonal harvest migration
to Britain were the main types of movement, but over the past 100 years
the Irish have developed a special affinity for settling in British
towns. Although the outflow was halted for a time during the 1970s,
when return migration took over, the 1980s have seen a renewal of the
exodus. This time, however, the character of the flow has changed from
predominantly low-skill construction and factory workers to embrace
better-educated emigrants, including many graduates. This shift
reflects Ireland's changing position in the international market for
labour."

United States: new approaches to measurement. International
Migration Review, Vol. 25, No. 1, Spring 1991. 60-92 pp. Staten Island,
New York. In Eng.
"The United Nations has recommended the
measurement of types of international migration using demographic
criteria, including length of stay and purpose of travel. Information
systems at the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) have
the potential to provide a basis for documenting these demographic
characteristics, in particular, length of stay of temporary migrants to
the United States. This article analyzes these characteristics of
selected categories of nonimmigrant aliens. The results of the
analysis are used to produce series of estimates of alien immigration
that conform more closely to the U.N. recommended definitions and
better represent demographic concepts of long-term immigration. A
strategy for measuring emigration of aliens from the United States
using INS information systems is also
described."

"This paper is an analysis of the socio-economic situation of
two Punjabi villages [in Pakistan]. It makes an attempt to explain why
the villagers of these rural places have to seek work abroad. The
first part of the paper deals with the agricultural conditions, the
non-agricultural activities available to the villagers, and the budgets
of different social categories found in the villages. The second part
examines the effects of the process of migration on the young people.
It particularly discusses the profile of the migrant, the problems
faced by him before his departure, the remittances and their
utilization, and the impact of emigration upon women's economic role in
the villages and upon the traditional social conflicts. The important
conclusion of the paper is that these villagers cannot ensure their
social, economic, and cultural reproduction."

"By 1988, the Mexican-origin
population of the United States had grown to 12.1 million, largely from
recent, sharp increases in immigration. The policy concerns raised by
this phenomenon have been influenced by some perceptions that available
research contradicts. Today most Mexican immigrants come to stay,
about half are female, and they have increasingly less schooling
compared to the native-born population and other immigrants.
Nationally, they do not cause adverse economic effects for native-born
workers and, across generations, their language and political
assimilation is proceeding well. They put greater demands on education
than on other public services."

at some of the causes and consequences of international migration and
sets out some of the policy questions that Northern and Southern
governments will need to address if mass migration movements are to be

ethnicity, occupation, relationship to head of household, age, and
literacy are the most important, but there are ways in which several of
these characteristics overlap. Ethnicity is related to occupation in

show separately the elements which affected persistence, and...to show
how they worked together to shape an overall process of residential
persistence and migration."

light on sex and age selectivity of migration. The findings indicate
that gravity variables, especially distance and the destination

increases with an increase in the destination wage level, but also
decreases with a rise in the destination unemployment level."

"Using Public Use Microdata Sample
A from the 1980 United States Census, human capital measures are
developed and used to test whether states experience human-capital
migration that is significantly different from human migration. Strong
evidence demonstrates that human-capital migration differs
significantly from human migration. For example, Arkansas and Vermont
are shown to have a net in-migration of people, but a net out-migration
of human capital. Conversely, the data for Connecticut and Minnesota
indicate a net out-migration of people and a net in-migration of human
capital. This study suggests that traditional models of interstate
migration mask the flow of human capital."

The
author analyzes internal migration data from the 1980 census of Japan
to determine general effects and age-specific redistributions within
prefectures. "The main findings are as follows.
First,...interprefectural variation in population growth depended more
strongly on inmigration, outmigration and net migration than on birth,
death, and natural growth. Second, the migration process in Japan
shared several general properties with those in Western developed
countries, including that...the variation in net migration rate
depended much more strongly on inmigration than on outmigration.
Third, the redistributional potential of the migration of the 15-19 age
group was strongest....Fourth, there were distinct age patterns in net
migration rate among four types of prefectures: (1) metropolitan core,
(2) suburban, (3) regional growth pole, and (4) peripheral
rural...."

use sample A provided the data for this analysis. Because of their
strong initial southern settlement and their labor force out-migration
patterns in this century, many older Black migrants are 'provincial
return migrants' to the South, a migrant type that may decline among
Blacks in the future. There is also a regional counterstream migration
pattern among older Black migrants. Out-migrants in this stream from
the South have elevated indicators of dependency. Suggestions are made
for other related studies of Black retirement
migration."

This study focuses on economic and geographical determinants of

emphasis is placed upon the relative effects of economic variables and
quality of life factors and on the effect of gravity variables (i.e.,
distance and population size). The statistically significant results

using Western theories to analyze migration in the Soviet

Changes in the spatial distribution of internal
migration in Japan are analyzed over the period 1954-1987 using
official data. The results show that migration closely follows the
economy. Internal migration increased rapidly during the 1950s and
1960s, peaked in 1971, declined until 1985, and has shown slight
increases in 1986 and 1987. Spatial patterns show strong migration
from rural areas to Tokyo and Osaka up to 1962. The period after 1962
reveals more movement to suburban locations within the Tokyo
metropolitan area and a decline in migration to Osaka.

conclude that rural-urban migration is often a desperate survival
strategy and it would not be humane to attempt to stop it. Their
analysis also shows that migration to urban areas generates some
benefits for rural areas in terms of the inflow of remittances and
their investment in raising productivity and incomes. These positive
benefits, they argue, should not be overlooked while attempting to
formulate population distribution
policies."

In Eng.
"An 'ecological theory of migration' is applied to the
investigation of nonmetropolitan county net migration in the United
States since 1960. The central premise tested is that differentiation
in sustenance organization within counties is directly related to net
migration. Differentiation is allocated into the components of: (1)
intracommunity division of labor, and (2) intercommunity division of
labor....Three measures of differentiation are created for each county
at each time period. These are: (1) total differentiation, and its
components, (2) local differentiation, and (3) functional
differentiation. Using these measures, two regression models of net
migration are compared....The most consistent feature of the pattern of
findings over time is reduction in the utility of the models for
describing net migration."

"In China, temporary
migration is defined as a change in place of residence without a
concomitant change in household registration; such mobility therefore
encompasses a more heterogeneous set of motivations than is usually
subsumed under this heading in other nations. Because of China's
strict control of permanent migration to large cities, temporary
migration has become an important strategy for adjusting to economic
changes and to effecting family reunification. The Shanghai Temporary
Migration Survey of 1984 focused on one segment of temporary migrants,
the 58% living in the households of permanent residents. Multinomial
logistic regression suggests the heightened probability that close
relatives of the household heads come to Shanghai to visit or to live,
and nonrelatives to work. Regression on current and expected duration
shows that many intended to stay for a year or more some for up to 20
years. Their presence in the city places added strains on
infrastructure and raises questions about the continued efficacy of
China's migration policies."

"Urban development and migration policies in China
have greatly limited permanent migration to cities, especially to
bigger ones. In recent years, however, largely as a result of economic
reforms, temporary migration has become a major mechanism of population
exchange. Data from the 1986 Survey of Migration in 74 Cities and
Towns of China, sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Social Science,
provide a unique opportunity to evaluate the volume and direction of
temporary movement, the reasons for it, and the sociodemographic
differences between temporary and permanent migrants living in China's
cities and towns....Overall, the findings indicate that temporary
migration has come to complement and in some cases to substitute for
permanent migration in allowing the Chinese population to cope with its
rural labor surplus and to satisfy its strong desire for urban
amenities."

"This article provides estimates of levels and
structures of recent return migration from Canada. Estimates are
distinguished according to sex, period of immigration and place of
birth of foreign-born emigrants. Special attention is paid to
propensity to return. The impact of return migration on change of
foreign-born populations is also evaluated."
This is a revised
version of a paper originally presented at the 1989 Annual Meeting of
the Population Association of America (see Population Index, Vol. 55,
No. 3, Fall 1989, p. 426).

The authors examine temporary labor migration in
Bulgaria from both historical and current perspectives. They note that
traditional seasonal migration in agricultural labor died out following
the socialist reconstruction of the country. Reversible labor
migration today consists largely of daily and nonseasonal commuting
associated with industry, construction, recreation, and
tourism.

"This study addresses some of the
methodological difficulties one encounters in assessing the question of
whether older persons display an increasing tendency to return to their
state of birth after reaching retirement age. It reanalyzes previously
studied data on the question and concludes that there is no indication
that elderly people are more prone than nonelderly to 'return home' to
their native state." The geographical focus is on the United
States.

and regional life-cycles in Canada. Geographical Perspectives, No.

"After a discussion
of major concepts of counterurbanization, a narrow definition is
proposed. Various demographic and socio-economic dimensions are
analysed at different scales with special regard to the Canadian
heartland. The basic hypothesis suggests a temporary weakening of
urban growth dynamics: decentralization, thus, is a result of
locational adjustment strategies, emerging during revolutions in basic
technology. The corresponding 'filtering down' processes create a
selective, interregional spread of labour. However, shift analytical
time series indicate that the development capacity of core regions
oscillates in a life-cyclical rhythm. Counterurbanization is expected
to fade out with regional adjustment to basic technological
transformation."

"A classification of relatively self-contained functional
regions is used to test for the existence of counterurbanization in
Great Britain. It is shown that population deconcentration from
Metropolitan to Freestanding Britain was underway during 1961-71 and
increased in magnitude in 1971-81....Reference to annual estimates of
population, however, indicate that these counterurban shifts reached a
peak in the early 1970s and that after the mid 1970s there was a
significant narrowing of the range of growth rates along the
metropolitan dimension. The early 1980s were characterized by a marked
reduction in the rate of population loss from the larger metropolitan
centres alongside a continuation of relatively rapid growth in the more
rural parts of the country."

This
study examines the role of rural-urban migration in the rapid
urbanization that has occurred in Vanuatu since 1967. The focus is on
migration from Paama and Raga (North Pentecost). Data are primarily
from the censuses of 1967 and 1979. "Rather than viewing mobility
developments through time solely as the result of socio-economic
change, this book emphasizes the ongoing interplay between mobility and
structural transformations in source and destination areas, an
interplay which causes a re-creation of new environments within which
mobility occurs. It quickly becomes apparent that causes which
facilitated and necessitated mobility in the 1950s and 1960s no longer
assume the same significance in defining mobility in contemporary rural
societies." A gradual trend from temporary to permanent migration to
urban areas is identified.

"The present paper attempts to assess the extent of the
non-metropolitan population turnaround [in Australia] during the 1970s
and to estimate the magnitude of its components. It establishes the
extent to which [it] has been a spatially concentrated phenomenon. It
examines the patterns of migration between Australia's metropolitan and
non-metropolitan sectors and the selectivity of the migration. The
paper then assesses a range of explanations which have been put forward
to account for the turnaround and speculates upon likely future
patterns. Throughout there is an attempt to draw contrasts and
similarities between patterns and processes in Australia and those in
the United States."

"Migration to
large metropolitan cities in Pakistan from rural areas and small towns
has put enormous pressure on those cities and created many
socio-economic and demographic problems. This article suggests that,
in conjunction with other steps, many smaller towns should be developed
and industrialized to ease the pressure on the larger cities, as has
been done in other areas of the world."

"Age-specific migration changes between 1977
and 1980 reveal several modifications in the pattern of population
redistribution in the Federal Republic and suggest a major alteration
of the West German internal migration system. In 1980, both the 30 to
49...and the 50+ year olds move (in the net) out of densely populated
regions and into sparsely populated areas. A net out-migration occurs
from the large, densely populated urban regions with strong and
contemporary economic bases as well as from areas with structural
economic problems. Densely populated regions lose more migrants while
sparsely populated areas retain additional potential movers. Diverse
explanations are suggested for these age-selective migration
changes."

"There is considerable evidence of continued
population deconcentration in the continental United States. It has
created, among other things, a new form of development, which we call
exurbanization. In this paper we suggest the magnitude of
exurbanization in both spatial and population terms, identify many of
the reasons for the locational behavior of exurban households, and
present some notable planning policy
implications."
