"This paper develops a search-theoretic
framework for analyzing migration decisions of workers who can only
observe the quality of a location by migrating to the location after
accepting a job there. After learning the location quality, the worker
can stay at the current job, search locally at the same location, or
search for a job at another location (leading to repeat migration).
This paper develops the properties of optimal search, migration, and
repeat migration decisions, and finds how revealed location quality
influences the tradeoffs between local search and repeat migration.
The effects of search costs and better job opportunities on the
reservation levels of wages and revealed quality levels are also
determined."

of some family members is also predicted by fewer parcels of land

Models describing labor
migration and the decision to migrate in developing countries are
presented. The author's approach is based on three premises: "First,
although the entities that engage in migration are often individual
agents, there is more to labor migration than individualistic behavior.
Migration by one person can be undertaken in pursuit of rational
optimizing behavior by a group of persons such as the family. Second,
there is more to labor migration than a response to wage differentials.
Third, a great many migratory phenomena would not have occurred if the
set of markets and financial institutions were perfect and
complete....[The author discusses] why and when entities such as
families may find it optimal to behave strategically, to act
simultaneously in, and to distribute their human capital across,
several markets, and to sequence their actions in a particular
fashion." The focus is on rural-urban
migration.

Three types of migration flows are distinguished: domestic in-migration

also includes regional employment and wage changes as endogenous
variables. The data base utilizes Canadian census statistics for 1971

counties, or their equivalents. The empirical performance of the
various interlinkages is broadly in line with expectations, but the
results raise some important questions about

composition and labor market experiences of immigrants in the United

migration decisions maximize household income, shows that the family
attenuates the selection characterizing the skills of the immigrant
population. The empirical analysis uses the 1970 and 1980 Public Use
Samples of the U.S. Census, and reveals that an immigrant's skills and
labor market performance are greatly influenced by the composition of
the household at the time of migration, and by his placement in the
immigration chain."

from 1962 to [the] present appear to amply demonstrate the situation,

an established form of reciprocal human behavior, where circular rather

North America as part of their world 'off the island'. A schema based
on the nature of spatial displacement is used to differentiate
international circulation and emigration intentions and ensuing
behaviours of international mobility (and immobility). Spatial
displacement is interpreted in broad terms, incorporating time,
psychological perspectives and information acquisition. The result is
a series of generalizable situations presented as a hypothetical set of
contemporary Caribbean mobility relations with the dominant United

government-controlled termination. These stages of the cycle
correspond to the progressive constitution of a permanent migrant

'brain drain' to the developed countries of the West, particularly the
U.S.A. declined....The impression was also consolidated by changes in
the American Immigration Law wherein the emphasis had seemingly shifted
from the 'occupational usefulness' of the immigrants in the American
labour market to their 'family reunification.'....The paper argues that
human capital transfers through migration from India [have] not abated
simply because of immigration under the 'occupational preference'
categories. Rather what happened is that the brain drain has continued
through alternative channels...."

Data on the number of foreigners living
in France are examined. The author notes that their number has
stabilized since 1982 and that "this stabilization is accompanied by an
extensive renewal of the foreign population....The proportion of
residents of European nationality continues to shrink while that of
people of more remote origins (i.e. the Maghreb, and particularly black
Africa and Asia) rises."

"This article
examines the 1980 earnings and earnings attainment process of
Afro-Caribbean immigrants [to the United States] relative to
Afro-Americans, native-born whites and foreign-born whites. Controlling
for gender, the comparisons consider Caribbean Islanders as a whole and
disaggregated by nation of origin. The results indicate that, in 1980
at least, fact did not justify the opinion that any West Indian
subgroup had higher gross or net earnings than native-born blacks.
Rather, a few non-English speaking subgroups fared worse. In addition,
regardless of national background, Caribbean-born men experienced vast
earnings disparities relative to white men. This was not the case for
West Indian women, whose net earnings were, at minimum, equivalent to
those of white women. Further analysis suggests that, for most
Caribbean groups, West Indian background adds little to an
understanding of the earnings attainment process that cannot be
obtained from other measurable
characteristics."

The current situation of the immigrant population
in France is reviewed. Immigration trends since 1945 are first
summarized. The authors then analyze the place of the immigrant
population in French social and economic life. They conclude that
voluntary repatriation is not viable and that the focus of policy
should be to facilitate the process of integration into French society.
The need for a coherent policy, rather than ad-hoc measures adopted as
a consequence of specific events, is stressed. Development of
information on which such a policy should be based is noted as a
primary requirement.

migrant characteristics (social demographic, ethnic, and minority group

The migration rates indicate that there was a difference in favor of
the French group during both census periods....The results foster
support for the federal policy of bilingualism and biculturalism in the

both migrant characteristics and area conditions are considered is of

as the cause of both social conflict and
migration.

different effects on the two streams. Labour market motivated
migration is sensitive to local labour market conditions while
migration motivated by other reasons is not. Those who are receiving
unemployment benefits are less willing to migrate than those who are
not receiving such benefits."

Population Council: New York, New York; Oxford University Press: New

The author explores the
economic and institutional consequences of labor out-migration in
Sub-Saharan Africa. The first section of the article "describes the
changing nature of the factors encouraging massive outmigration from
rural areas...and examines the changing destinations of the migrants.
The second section considers the agrarian responses to these movements,
especially as they relate to the restructuring of the labor supply
system for meeting the needs of the local economy. The third examines
labor demand adjustments, especially as they have been conducive to
rural class formation. The fourth considers other consequential changes
in rural labor relations, with special reference to the role and status
of women. The fifth section examines the role of the state in
mediating these diverse responses and in guiding them in directions
compatible with the overriding capitalist objectives of colonial and
post-colonial economies of these countries. A concluding section
evaluates the implications of these various changes for population
processes and rural development in sub-Saharan
Africa."

"In this paper the
impacts of structural changes in local industries on interregional

Structural changes in local industries, which are represented by a

induce interregional migration, as well as intraregional migration. The
estimation results with pooled data support this hypothesis. The
impacts of structural changes in local industries are different across
gross migration flows (rural-urban, urban-rural, urban-urban, and
rural-rural migration), as are the impacts of other determinants of
migration such as earnings differentials, aggregate employment growth,
national unemployment, distance, and age

several empirical regularities of the migration process. However,
there are a number of empirical facts that have not yet been explained

than one move in their lifetime; return migration accounts for a very
important share of total migration rates; and there is a high positive
correlation between in- and out-migration rates in the more

agglomerations. Geographia Polonica, No. 54, 1988. 101-7 pp.
Warsaw, Poland. In Eng.
The author examines migration patterns
among the nine major metropolitan areas of Poland for 1978. Emphasis
is on the educational level of migrants. He concludes that such urban
centers form the nuclei of regional settlement systems rather than
shaping a national urban settlement system.

The author describes
the development, uses, and limitations of a model using spatial
barriers in the analysis of internal migration. He then uses such a
model to analyze the impact of spatial barriers on interurban migration
in the Katowice region of Poland, using data for
1978.

Geographia Polonica, No. 54, 1988. 19-31 pp. Warsaw, Poland. In Eng.
The author reviews neoclassical theories and models of migration.
The mobility theory, which concerns the impact of local labor markets
on migration, is discussed in the Polish context. A general model of
the regional labor market and a multicausal model are developed to
explain the patterns of internal migration. The period of a managed
economy (1949-1980) is contrasted with the period since the
implementation of a new economic system in
1983.

"This article
compares racial and ethnic patterns in interstate and interregional
migration in the years 1960 to 1980....This research looks at
geographical assimilation--the extent to which patterns of migration
and regional distribution of minority groups resemble those of whites.
Attention is directed to United States-born Asian Americans, blacks,
Hispanics, Native Americans and whites, and attempts to answer the
following questions: 1) To what extent do the patterns of interstate
migration of these groups resemble one another? 2) To what extent do
the regional distributions and patterns of net regional migration of
these groups resemble one another?"

"It is argued that circular
migration [in Africa] should be seen as an optimization problem, where
the household allocates its labour resources across activities,
including work which requires migration, so as to maximize the joint
family utility function. The migration problem is illustrated in a
simple diagram, which makes it possible to analyse economic aspects of
migration."

"Estimates of what the urban growth rate would have been if labor
had been perfectly mobile and responsive to differences in the growth
rates of urban and rural opportunity enable the 'stickiness' of
urbanward migration to be measured....In this research note I make
normative use of an urban growth model...to derive estimates of
expected migration flows [in the United States]. Thus, by comparison
with observed migration, I am able to measure the shortfalls in
urbanward migration due to stickiness. Urbanward migration in the U.S.
between 1850 and 1980 is the case selected for examination because
free-market conditions are more likely to have obtained in the United
States than elsewhere."

history since Confederation, it can be viewed as both a cause and an
effect of socioeconomic change. Migration from rural to urban areas
has occurred largely in response to perceived greater economic
opportunities in cities....The changing distribution of population
growth between rural and urban Canada is central to concerns about the
viability of rural areas, and the magnification of social problems
associated with urban size."

"This paper extends the neoclassical,
Harris-Todaro model of urban-rural migration to the case of production
uncertainty in the agricultural sector. A unique feature of the
Harris-Todaro model is an exogenously determined minimum wage in the
urban sector that exceeds the rural wage. Migration occurs until the
rural wage equals the expected urban wage ('expected' due to employment
uncertainty). The effects of a change in the minimum wage upon
regional outputs, resource allocation, factor rewards, expected
profits, and expected national income are explored, and the influence
of production uncertainty upon the obtained results are delineated."
The geographical focus is on developing
countries.

The impact of internal
migration, specifically rural-urban migration, on economic development
in India is analyzed. "Depending on the size of the territorial unit
under study and its location, relative to neighbouring territories, the
quantum of total migration significantly exceeds the net redistribution
of population. These processes, their correlates, and the costs and
benefits [are the purpose of this] study. [The goal is to] help the
planning authorities concerned with social and economic development to
assess and evaluate the need and scope for influencing or guiding the
volume and direction of migration." Data are from various rounds of

"Permanent and temporary movement of
population from the rural Highlands to the urban Lowlands was a major
element in the demographic modernisation of eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century Scotland. Most studies of Highland-Lowland
migration have considered movement between birthplace and place of
enumeration as the result of single direct moves. Little attention has
been paid to the 'steps' by which migrants actually moved. This paper
examines sources which allow reconstruction of stepwise migration
patterns of a sample of Highland migrants to late-nineteenth-century
Glasgow. The source is critically assessed in relation to other work
both on stepwise migration and on Highland-Lowland migration in
Scotland."
