Theories concerning migration developed by the French
nineteenth-century scholar, Arsene Dumont, are summarized. Separate
consideration is given to internal migration in France, the emigration
of the French, and foreign immigration to France. Dumont's theories on
how such migrations affected fertility are
discussed.

"The current study analyzes Jewish migration patterns in
Judea, Samaria and Gaza in relation to issues identified by previous
studies to be related to migration in general and to Jewish migration
specifically, namely, economic, physical security and
ideological-religious factors." The focus is on the impact of the Arab
uprising, or intifada, that has occurred since 1987. The author
concludes that economic factors tending to encourage Jews to leave the
occupied territories are balanced by political factors influencing Jews
to move to those areas.

The author critically evaluates
contemporary thought concerning population movement among the Pacific
Islands. "Three case studies--of movement internal to Viti Levu in
Fiji; mobility and socioeconomic change for Manihiki atoll in the Cook
Islands; and the constitutional guarantee of free movement in Solomon
Islands--demonstrate that metaphors like 'rural-urban drift' and
'circulation,' or technical terms like 'emigration' and 'depopulation,'
convey neither the contemporary ebb and flow of Pacific Island movement
nor its...character....More attention should be paid to the dynamism of
time, culture, and local environment interacting with the social
processes of island movement, [and] to incorporating the ambiguity and
paradox that lie at the heart of island
behavior...."

The author proposes a "comprehensive approach to the study of
the spatial mobility of populations in which it is treated as an aspect
of the whole complex of human relationships. This approach requires
new data collection and analysis methods in which cross-sectional
models are replaced by longitudinal ones; and in which migration is
considered as an aspect of spatial mobility. Retrospective and
prospective surveys provide useful empirical evidence but they are not
without their limitations. Parametric, nonparametric, and
semiparametric statistical techniques have been developed which are
useful in understanding the interrelationships among family, work and
migration histories." The method has been applied to both developed
and developing countries.

"The purpose of this paper is to
'resurrect' the measure of net migration and defend its continued use
under specific research circumstances....We employ data from the 1980
[U.S.] Census of Population to compare five measures of migration,
including net migration rates, in- and out-migration rates, migration
efficiency ratios and migration turnover rates. We demonstrate the
additivity of in- and out-migration rates with net migration rates and
migration turnover rates. Finally, a simple multivariate model is
estimated to show how regression coefficients from in- and
out-migration rate models are related to net migration and migration
turnover rates."

suggests that, while out-migration was not significantly dependent on
age, or marital status, there were large occupational differentials,

"Covering places as varied as Bolivia and Costa Rica, and ranging in
time from the sixteenth through the mid-nineteenth century, the
studies...provide conclusive evidence of the ubiquity of migration in
the early modern period, challenging views of immobile peasants held in
the grip of static colonialism. They show that to migrate was one of
the most important means of coping with Spanish colonialism. The
essays are written from a multi-disciplinary perspective and thus
provide data and interpretations that are novel and represent important
new contributions to colonial Latin American studies. They address the
basic questions of who migrated, why did they migrate, how can one
interpret migration fields, what role did economic opportunity or
ecological conditions play, and not least, what was the impact of
migrants on non-migrant communities in both rural and urban
areas."

the divergent policy implications of a relative deprivation model
versus an absolute income model. An attempt is made to identify
distinct empirical implications of relative and absolute income motives
for migrating. In Section II a migration decision model is estimated
and is used to explore absolute and relative income motives for
internal and international migration in a sample of rural Mexican
households, as well as to test the extent to which discontinuity in
labour markets shapes the choice of migrant destination. In Section

analyzed....The selection of Filipinos in the Middle East and in the

reasons: first, these two regions represent the place of residence of

The study, based on published research concerning more than 12
European countries, suggests that the socioeconomic characteristics of
the regions of migrant origin do not explain the levels of emigration
from those areas. The author also considers the importance of return
migration and whether that return was due to migrant success or
failure. The relationship between economic growth and emigration in
Europe, as well as the economic effect of immigration on receiving
countries and its social impact on the migrants, are
examined.

individuals for social, economic and psychological reasons, more
economic cooperation with countries of origin, as well as a more

the country. The extent to which the historians of each of the two
countries have looked at the experience of the other to refine their

variables are used to explain annual immigration to both the United
States and Canada, 1962-1984, from a number of specific source
countries--economic opportunities, transferability of skills, level of
economic development and political conditions, and institutional
controls that reflect the immigration policies of the two nations.
Wage differentials, several measures of skill transferability,
political conditions in source countries, and the policy variables
prove to be important determinants of U.S. and Canadian
immigration."

"This survey of recent literature explores the issues of
international migration currently facing the international policy

literature, the survey covers three key questions that are receiving
increasing attention in the industrialized countries, including Europe,
North America, and Japan: (1) whether the 'graying of the North' will
require certain unavoidable immigration-related economic policies; (2)
whether mass exoduses from the South are likely to cause social
transformation and ethnic conflict in the North; and (3) whether
foreign assistance in the field of economic development can hope to
bring any stability to the issue. The survey then turns to an
evaluation of current policy attempts and prospects, including
development aid and multilateral
cooperation."

lead to greater ethno-religious tensions in mainland

The authors
discuss recent debates concerning alleged high levels of Asian
immigration to Australia. They focus on "two kinds of questions. The
first relates to questions about immigration...i.e., the nature and
extent of Asian migrant intake to Australia; and the second, concerns
aspects of the settlement and adaptation of these migrants." The
extent of migrant assimilation and the impact on Australian society are
considered. The authors conclude that the inconsistency in dealing
with recruitment and settlement policy as two separate issues "has been
largely responsible for the distortions and confusions surrounding the
current debate."

"This paper provides a unified approach to the basic model of
international factor mobility. The use of new graphical techniques
complements the algebraic exposition to underscore the persistence of
the Ramaswami effect which pushes an active, home country toward a near
'buy-out' of the foreign country's internationally mobile factors of
production. By generalizing the Ramaswami function, which identifies
the gains associated with moving to near buy-out, we are able to
explore the forces at work that mitigate such a strategy and lead to
situations in which only a partial buy-out, or even no acquisition of
foreign factors is optimal. These features are developed in a context
in which (i) technologies differ between countries or (ii) there exists
a third, immobile factor of production."

welfare gap between industrialised and developing countries. It also
sets out from the premise that potential migrants react to changes in
the economic and social conditions in their home countries with more or
less constant (negative) migration elasticities. The following article
shows that there is reason to question the validity of this
assumption."

migration: post-1965 Filipino immigration to the United States.
International Migration Review, Vol. 25, No. 3, Fall 1991. 487-513 pp.
Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
In analyzing Filipino migration to
the United States since 1965, the authors identify two distinct chains
of immigrants. One derives from the Filipinos who entered the country
prior to 1965; the other comes from the flow of highly trained
professionals who immigrated during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
"To establish the historical basis for the two patterns of immigration
that unfolded in the post-1965 period, the article begins with a brief
examination of Filipino immigration to the United States. An analysis
of the modes of entry used in both chains follows this overview. The
study concludes with a discussion of the degree of convergence in these
two chains and the consequences of each for contemporary
Filipino-American community development." Data are from published U.S.
census material and from Immigration and Naturalization Service reports
and tapes dating from 1972 to 1985.

A model of the relationship between age and
migration is developed and applied to data concerning migrants from
other Scandinavian countries who settled in Sweden between 1968 and
1985. The author shows "how changes in Sweden's domestic economic
conditions and distance determine the probability for settlement in any
of its 24 provinces for migrants of different ages. The results show
that in the integrated Nordic labor market, wages at destination do not
explain differences in migrants' settlement behavior across ages.
Instead they suggest that the major factors to explain the differences
are the labor market situation for the different age groups and
distance."

Results are presented from an
attempt to improve Canadian statistics on international migration to
comply with U.N. guidelines by including data on long-term residents
with temporary status and Canadian citizens and permanent residents
returning from abroad. "The estimation procedures involve extensive
operations on three Canadian administrative data systems: the Visitors
Immigration Data System of Employment and Immigration Canada; the
Family Allowances Files of Health and Welfare Canada; and the Customs
and Excise Files of Revenue Canada. These data are used to produce the
number of immigrants in both of the neglected categories, as well as to
calculate the geographic (origin and destination) and demographic (sex,
age, marital status) structures of these groups. Results of the
analysis of estimates for the period 1982-1988 show that, due to their
size and characteristics, both of these neglected categories of
immigrants constitute a significant part of immigration to Canada, and
their importance has and will continue to increase over
time."

"The paper asks
whether Irish emigration between 1856 and 1876 was due to labor being
pulled out of Ireland by higher wages abroad, or to labor being pushed
off the land as a result of price shocks in international commodity
markets favoring pasture over tillage. A computational general
equilibrium model of the Irish agricultural sector is constructed and
subjected to the wage and price shocks experienced by the economy over
the period. The model suggests that all the rural depopulation
occurring during this period was due to wage shocks (i.e., foreign
labor demand), and none to commodity price
shocks."

The estimation of emigration and undocumented immigration rates for
the United States is discussed. "A residual methodology compares
census or survey data on the resident foreign-born population with an
independently derived estimate of the legally resident foreign-born
population. The difference is the estimated undocumented population
which may be compared for alternative dates to derive measures of
change. In 1988, this difference was 1.9 million, similar to the 1980
estimate of 2.1 million....Measurement of emigration...has recently
relied on resident reports of immediate relatives who have emigrated.
Controlling for multiple reporting of the same emigrants, the direct
estimate of the emigrant population from the United States is about 1.2
million. Allowing for undercoverage of the emigrant population due to
nonresident relatives, there could be 2.0 million or more
emigrants."

essays are concerned with international migration in general, the
primary focus is on migration to the United States. The approach is
interdisciplinary, with particular attention given to the issues of
ethnicity, the methodologies of studying migration, and political
factors. Some general themes arising from the essays include "the
international ecology of migration; a questioning of the classical
assimilation model, which proposes a linear progression of immigrant
culture toward a dominant American national character; and, through
references to other national experiences in Asia and Latin America, a
denial of American exceptionalism."

forced laborers, those in concentration camps, and Nazi collaborators.
The case is made that forced repatriation to the USSR was justified,
particularly of Nazi collaborators, and that the vast majority of
Soviet citizens located abroad wanted to return to the Soviet Union.
Data are from the documents of the department set up by the Soviet
authorities to organize this repatriation.

A net migration model used by
Great Britain's Office of Population Censuses and Surveys to project
migration and population trends is discussed. "This paper sets out the
equations relating to each stage of the modelling framework and
examines three particular features of the model using data [for
England] from the National Health Service Central Register. The
results indicate the need for a systematic specification of broad age
group boundaries and a mechanism for updating assignment probabilities.
A different methodology to that used by OPCS for grouping local
authority areas is also proposed."

high and that over 50 percent of the population have migrated since
1948. The data are presented separately by region. In general, the
movement is from rural to urban areas, from mountain regions to
lower-lying country, and away from ethnically-mixed
areas.

"Given the current status of studies of

framework of analysis that can capture the interaction between macro
socio-economic process and population mobility in Java. This paper
thus first examines the theoretical approaches to population mobility
in general. Second, it critically reviews the history of the movement
of people in Java. A considerable literature on Indonesia makes it
possible to reconstruct the broad socio-economic processes that have
been associated with Javanese mobility since colonial times.
Third,...this paper attempts to demonstrate the utility of such a
framework of analysis through an examination of the links between rural

economic segmentation model to explain the migration patterns observed.
The results suggest that the growth of the labor market played a key

educational status on migration is noted. The author also shows the
need to include data on land values, commuting, and regional cultures
and traditions in the analysis of internal migration in
Japan.

The authors use a nested logit model to explain departure and
destination choice patterns among prefectures for adults aged 15-39
living in Japan during the period 1979-1980. "Our major findings are
as follows. First, besides being subject to the strong negative effect
of physical distance, the destination choice propensities are strongly
enhanced by contiguity and linguistic similarity. Second, housing
variables are less important than other types of variables....Third,
within the Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas, the attractiveness of
suburban prefectures is significantly enhanced by the high level of
commuting....Furthermore,...both destination choice and departure
processes are strongly affected by government redistribution policy
through the unequal grants to local
governments."

Age-specific
motives for migration within the Netherlands during the period 1981 to
1985 are analyzed. The study is restricted to persons 18 to 40 years
old. Data are from the Netherlands' Housing Needs Surveys of 1981 and
1985. Results show that at younger ages, short-distance migration is
mainly for marriage or cohabitation, longer distances are for education
or work. At older ages, short-distance moves are principally for
housing, while longer moves are for work reasons. Substantial
differences were found between the sexes, and were mainly ascribed to
age differences between partners.

million moves per year. 1985 saw the start of a migration 'boom' which
peaked in 1987/88 at nearly two million moves. By the end of 1989
migration had fallen again to the earlier levels. Young adults are a
distinctive group who not only move at a far higher rate than other
people, but also tend to differ in terms of the areas they are
attracted to. Prime examples of this are the South East, which gains
young adults but loses in all other age-groups, and Wales, which
experiences the completely opposite
effects."

Recent trends in migration affecting the

state's migrations are analysed here: inter-state mobility, the growth
of urban population, and the rural exodus. The central thesis of this
study is that the migration of Paraiba's population is an element which
is determined by and at the same time determines the process of
production and the conformity of space to the logic of profit at the
present stage of Brazilian capitalist development. The intensity of
emigration from Paraiba cannot be understood when it is divorced from
the process of the organization of the socio-economic space of the
nation. The greater the imbalance between the economy of the state and
that of Brazil's metropolises, the more frequent are the fluxes of
migrants. On the [other] hand conservative modernization of
agriculture has largely contributed to strengthen the causes of the
ousting of peasants inherent to the state's economic
framework."

The author argues that the only practical
solution to Russia's chronic shortage of agricultural manpower is the
promotion of reverse migration, or migration from the cities to rural
areas. Data are from a 1989-1990 survey of 1,645 urban residents in
the Kursk, Orel, Vologda, and Kostroma regions, including former
migrants from rural areas. Potential remigrant characteristics
identified by the author include age under 30, being without a family,
low income, and unmet expectations after moving to the city. Such
individuals might be encouraged to move back to rural areas by improved
rural living conditions, technological progress, better infrastructure
in rural areas, and increased pay.

National Migration Survey, we examine the pattern of migrant adjustment
by estimating the first difference form of the autoregressive equation.
We find a disruptive effect of rural-urban migration that disappears
gradually after migration. This study provides strong evidence that
most rural-urban migrants successfully adapt to urban life through
upward occupational mobility relative to both rural and urban natives.
This finding sharply contrasts with previous studies on the urban
informal sector, which emphasize selective rural-urban migration or
[the] inability of migrating individuals to adapt to city life.
Moreover, this study shows that a principal cause of the rapid
expansion of Seoul is that migrants are more likely to be upwardly
mobile when they are destined for Seoul rather than other
cities."

This study is concerned with rural depopulation
in Africa and the effectiveness of rural development efforts designed
to decrease the outflow of population, using the example of the Senegal
River Valley. "On the basis of the results of a study on population
mobility of a hundred villages in the region, we analyse the relations
between the characteristics of the villages and the retention of their
populations. As well, a statistical analysis allows us to question
certain assumptions about the capacity of development projects to slow
down the population drain from the countryside." Data concern Senegal,
Mali, and Mauritania.
