"This study,
focused on modelling memory effects in migration history data, is
[based on] a survey conducted in 1988 by the National Institute for
Demographic Studies (I.N.E.D.), in collaboration with the Catholic
University of Louvain-la-Neuve (U.C.L., Belgium). This data allows
insight into the reliability of responses obtained from an
autobiographical retrospective survey, and highlights the demographic
characteristics that may interact with memory effects in recall of
migration history. In addition, the data obtained from this survey
allows response reliability comparisons between gender, and also
between joint interviewing of spouses and singular interviewing of
spouses." 500 couples living in Wallonie, Belgium, and aged between 41
and 54 years were surveyed.

Tobler has provided an innovative cartographic presentation of

utilize detailed migration data to reveal the underlying structures of
migration flows. Even though the analyses are not explanatory models
of migration exchanges, the application of these techniques to
migration flows over time and across different spatial scales provides
a visual generalization of often extremely complex flows. The
application of his techniques at two spatial scales for the Netherlands
illustrates both the strengths and weaknesses of migration force fields
for the analysis of migration."

"Net migration of immigrants to
U.S. metropolitan areas cannot be measured directly because many
immigrants, by some estimates as high as 30%, subsequently emigrate
from the U.S., thus escaping the ability of federal authorities to
locate their whereabouts. Without an accurate measure of immigrant
out-migration, net migration cannot be calculated. This study employs
cohort survival techniques to indirectly estimate immigrant and native
net migration, 1970-1980, for 119 specific metropolitan areas. Several
checks are performed to confirm the accuracy of the estimates, which
appear to be reasonable."

"This paper explores the relationship between wives'
and husbands' wages and family migration [in the United States]. Wage
variables are constructed to represent potential earnings, quality of
wage draw, and potential for wage dispersion. It is found that
increased earnings of husbands increases family mobility while
increased earnings of wives does the opposite. However, when a sample
of couples with wives [earning] at least 25 percent more than their
husbands is used, the reverse is true. It is argued that this supports
family earnings maximization models of family migration."

"This review
of recent research outlines changes in the composition and organization
of labor supplies to the Middle East since the 1970s and indicates some
effects on both sending and receiving countries. Before the recent Gulf
war, Asians increasingly supplanted Arab migrant workers, entering the
Gulf labor force through kinship networks, recruitment agencies and
project-tied migration. At the national level, this emigration has
sometimes led to severe labor shortages, as in Pakistan. Another effect
is the impact of remittances on saving and investment behavior. A few
detailed studies about countries of origin have provided insights into
the push factors of the migration process; however, a major problem
limiting research is poor survey and census
data."

"The primary objective of this paper is to examine the impact of
migration, and ultimately remittances on economic development in an LDC
[less-developed country] within the context of a two-sector development
model. For this purpose we construct a two-period development model
wherein the country loses professional workers in the first period, but
receives foreign-exchange remittances in the second period. Then we
derive the conditions under which the 'brain drain' phenomenon may
promote social welfare gains over the two periods horizon." The
results indicate that "emigration of skilled labor causes the real rate
of return to capital to fall and the real wage to labor in the home
country to rise. Emigration of skilled labor unambiguously causes a
real income loss in less developed labor-exporting countries in the
first period, but may cause a real income gain to the LDC in the long
run. We also find that the per capita income in an LDC may rise as a
consequence of emigration in the short-run, but in the long run capita
income unambiguously rises."

and identifies those that move to each destination. The paper examines
various immigration-encouraging policies and shows that although all of
them will increase immigration, in some cases the economic quality of
the new immigrants will rise and in some it will fall. This paper

international migration. "The authors of the chapters in this volume
examine a number of regional and sectoral developments in Mexico and
assess how they are related to undocumented migration to the United
States. The fundamental premise driving their analyses is that greater
regional and sectoral development constitute the best antidote to
undocumented migration." The authors "suggest that more can be done to
promote the development of the regions of Mexico from which many
undocumented migrants depart....The contributors argue that the role of
the central government in Mexico City--almost the only major force in
setting regional development policy--should be reduced, and that
greater authority and resources should be given to state and local
governments for their own development."

The
authors attempt a critical review and synthesis of research carried out
in Mexico and the United States on migration between the two countries.
They begin by examining two issues, "the number of Mexican migrants to
the United States and the quantity of their monetary remittances to
Mexico--and...then suggest that once rhetoric is separated from fact
and analysis from opinion, the various estimates are actually
relatively consistent." They also undertake a review of studies on
communities sending migrants to the United States. "Our review
suggests that only a few community factors account for the diversity of
conclusions in different case studies: the age of the migration stream;
the degree to which productive resources are equitably distributed; the
quality of local resources, especially land; the niche in the U.S.
industrial structure where the community's migrants first became
established; and the geographic, political, and economic position of
the community within Mexico."

The impact of widespread international labor
migration on the family in Tonga is examined. The author describes how
migration has affected gender and kinship relations. She also examines
the ways in which church and state ideologies encourage the development
of the nuclear family, while overseas labor migration creates a need to
maintain extended support systems among family
networks.

"This paper
constructs a dynamic, general equilibrium framework to study the
relationship between international labor migration and domestic labor
supply. The general equilibrium nature of the model enables us to
endogenize the pattern of labor migration. The effect of labor
migration on domestic wage rates and labor supply is shown to depend on
the pattern of labor migration. If the substitution effect dominates
the income effect in labor supply, the domestic supply of labor
necessarily decreases in response to an inflow of
migrants....Similarly, if the dominant effect is the income effect, the
immigration of labor necessarily increases the domestic supply of
labor."

The author studies the effect of
apprehension by border patrols on remigration for Mexicans attempting
to enter the United States illegally. She tests hypotheses "about the
effects of apprehension on the actual and desired length of stay in the
United States and on the frequency of migration for undocumented
Mexican male migrants. Results suggest that...migrants stay in the
United States longer on non-apprehended trips and stay in Mexico for
shorter spells between trips to compensate for the cost of a past
apprehension." Policies of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization
Service concerning apprehension are also
evaluated.

be balanced by immigration. This would be so with regard to the period
under examination till about the mid-21st century, if each year record
numbers of immigrants would be admitted, i.e. at least 1 million
persons per year. Simulation models have shown that immigration is not
a very reasonable solution to the problem of population aging. Instead
of an unrealistic alternation of immigration and emigration waves, an
increase in the fertility rate of EC citizens would be a better
solution to the problem."

"Migration flows in the integrated Nordic labor market are heavily
dominated by Finnish migration to Sweden. Differences in migration
behavior across the Nordic populations are identified. Elasticities of
migration are obtained from a logistic human capital model estimated as
seemingly unrelated regressions. Differences in migration behavior are
shown to exist, but the elasticities are not systematically higher for
the Finns as could be expected. The domination of Finnish migration to
Sweden is instead explained by real wage differences and since these
have narrowed, major migration flows should not be expected in the
future, unless large differences in labor market performance
arise."

author notes that there were seven to eight million labor migrants of
mainly Arab origin in the region prior to the war, but the proportion
of migrants from other Asian countries has increased substantially in
the postwar period. The effect on sending countries is noted. The
author concludes that labor migration from Egypt, Syria, and other
Asian countries is likely to increase, since Yemeni, Jordanian, and
Palestinian workers are no longer welcome in many Arab
countries.

clearest lesson to emerge from the case studies in this book is that
international migration for employment, whether officially organized or
self-motivated but facilitated by ethnic networks, is not a short-cut
to effective development--notwithstanding often substantial
remittances. Instead, such migration often distorts a country's
development in ways that guarantee continued migration

East and Southeast Asia, with a focus on the past 25 years. "Five
migration systems are described: settler, student, contract labor,
skilled labor, and refugee. Settler migration to the U.S., Canada and
Australia has consisted primarily of family members....Contract labor
migration, particularly to the Middle East, has provided jobs, foreign
currency through remittances and greater participation of women, but
also led to illegal migration, skills drain, and labor abuses. The
hierarchy of development has led to intra-regional flows: (1) skilled
labor mainly from Japan to other countries in the region, and (2)
contract labor and illegal migration from the LDCs to the NIEs [newly
industrializing economies] and Japan."

International migration trends associated with the oil
boom and bust that occurred in Nigeria between 1976 and 1986 are
analyzed. "Large numbers came from Ghana..., [and] Niger, Chad and
Togo, whose countries were suffering from a mixture of drought,
political instability and stagnant economies. The resultant labour
market became segmented according to job skills, nationality and
ethnicity...." The decline in the oil industry led to the expulsion of
some two million aliens between 1983 and 1986, causing considerable
friction between Nigeria and its neighbors. The author concludes that
"the rise and fall of migrant labour in Nigeria and the political
situation within the country were embedded in the changing regional
political economy of West Africa and its linkages to the larger world
capitalist economy."

flow diversion that results from migration to some appealing regions.
Several related variables have been selected and tested for gross
interstate migration flows. The results show that overall both push
and pull factors have not been important....Distance was not found to
act as a significant deterrence to migration, whereas population
density of origin and destination was significant. Previous migration
was found to have a very strong effect on migration. The results of
the study also suggested that there has been a major change in the
location of growth areas in the United States during
1955-1970."

"This article examines the determinants,
consequences and policy intervention measures of the movement of labor
within Ghana's administrative regions. The study concludes that the
economic inequalities brought about by the uneven distribution of
development projects in favor of urban areas causes depressed rural
economic conditions, thus spurring rural to urban
migration....Secondary determinants are varied, ranging from family
obligations to the quest for adventure. The benefits of migration for
the rural areas lie mainly in returned migrants' contributions to the
economic development of those areas." Data are from the Ghanaian
1960-70 census and the 1975 intercensus.

"This report provides a comprehensive analysis of internal
migration in Australia, focusing especially on the 1981-86 intercensal
period. It discusses: historical trends in population mobility,
aggregate patterns of migration during the 1980s, the demographic
characteristics of migrants, internal migration of the overseas-born,
mobility of the labour force and intra-urban migration, and provides
insights into five key questions: Who moves? Why do they move? Where
do they move to? How much movement takes place? and What are the
implications?" Data are primarily from the 1986

regional wage differentials. "We find, on the one hand, that
interregional migration responds significantly to economic variables
such as real wage and unemployment differentials, but with a relative
small value and also with long lags. On the other hand, the overall
unemployment rate and housing price differentials are also found to
deter migration."

British urban and regional system. To establish that this is so it is
shown firstly, that the South East attracts to itself through
inter-regional migration a more than proportional share of the
potentially upwardly mobile young adults; secondly, that it promotes
these young people along with its own young adults at rates which are
higher than elsewhere in the country; and finally, that a significant
proportion of those who achieve these higher levels of status and pay
then 'step off' the escalator. They do this by migrating away from the
South East at later stages of their working lives and at or near to
retirement."

influence intermunicipal migration significantly, the effects differing
with age. Structural coefficients remained more or less stable during
the decade 1971-1981. It is shown that the failure to adjust income
gains for selectivity bias results in an underestimation of the
migration-impacts of income gains and municipal-specific

data from the National Health Service Central Register for 1975-1989
are used to "show that unemployment and vacancy rates, distance and an
index of similarities across regions in industry based employment
composition help determine migration flows across regions. The hiring
function approach offers a consistent way of modelling gross and net

flows and the tendency for migration to fall in a recession even when
unemployment differentials widen."

net outflow of population from the Northeast and Midwest regions to the
South and West regions increased precipitously, with net migration
between these regions reaching a level in 1975-80 approximately three
times greater than in 1955-60 or 1965-70. To clarify the different
ways that age-composition change has influenced such recent trends,

1900-1980. Population Studies, Vol. 46, No. 1, Mar 1992. 103-20
pp. London, England. In Eng.
"The author proposes an indirect
method for estimating trends in historical migration rates, based on
data commonly available from a single census. The method exploits the
logical relationship between cohorts' lifetime and single-period
transition probabilities, by comparing observed lifetime migration
probabilities with those expected under various parametric time trends
in period migration rates. In tests with figures from Brazil's Census
of 1980, the proposed method performs very well. It identifies all
major trends in twentieth-century Brazilian interregional migration.
When combined with rough estimates of past populations at risk of
migration, it yields estimates of historical migration flows which are
quantitatively similar to estimates from standard multiple-census
methods. In addition, because the new method permits estimation of
gross (rather than only net) historical flows, it leads to insights
about past migration which are not possible with standard
methods."

have no direct influence on the population's ageing process, and [are]
insignificant. The influence grows in the spatial perspective; it
becomes strongest in the case of migrations between urban and rural

is on how the economic reforms of the 1970s have affected migration,
which used to be governed primarily by political considerations.
"Though the old barriers restricting rural-urban migration, especially
the household-registration system, are still valid, cities nevertheless
suffer from migration-pressure, caused by the agricultural reforms and
the continuing economic disparities between city and country. Migrants
into cities and towns, still registered as rural inhabitants, are
called 'floating population'. Quite a big number (about 15 million
people) already have been staying in the cities for more than one year.
The drawbacks and advantages for the cities of these mobile population
groups are discussed in detail."

"By
examining the 1979 [U.S.] income status of 1975-1980 inmigrants,
outmigrants, and nonmigrants, we gauged the income effects of migration
for a group of chronic low-income counties in the nonmetropolitan
South. The effects are demonstrated to be positive for the migrants
themselves and negative for the low-income counties. In both
instances, however, the effects are unexpectedly small. By considering
both in- and outmigrants, we show that these counties experienced a
remarkable degree of income replacement and also present evidence that
the results are not primarily due to the particular migration period
under study. The findings give additional evidence of the substantial
inefficiency at work in American migration
patterns."

authors' analysis of the repopulation of conflict zones in El Salvador
chronicles the Salvadoran army's displacement operations, the hardships
associated with displacement..., the mechanics of popular organization,
the negotiating skill of grassroots groups that led to successive
collective returns, and the stance of the Salvadoran government and
armed forces with respect to repopulation. The book is based on two
years of on-site research among the displaced, as well as on extensive
interviews with civilian authorities, the military, and nongovernmental
organizations in El Salvador."

Jerusalem. [L'immigration sovietique et la mainmise sur

Paris, France. In Eng.
The recent settlement in Israel and the
Occupied Territories of the large-scale immigration of Jews primarily
from the former USSR is analyzed. The focus is on efforts by the
Israeli government to promote Jewish settlement as a whole and on the
settlement of immigrants in East Jerusalem. The author also examines
U.S. policy concerning these issues and concludes that the U.S.
government, while still opposing the settlement of immigrants in the
Occupied Territories, has tacitly accepted Israel's policy of
incorporating a reunited Jerusalem within Israel, and of allowing
immigrants to be settled in East Jerusalem.

international disputes: population exchanges between Greece and Turkey
as a model for plans to solve the Jewish-Arab dispute in Palestine
during the 1930s. Political Geography, Vol. 11, No. 1, Jan 1992.
55-72 pp. Oxford, England. In Eng.
The author explores the reasons
for the failure of a plan for population exchanges that took place
between Jews and Arabs in Palestine in the 1930s. Special focus is
given to the success of previous exchanges between Greece and Turkey
that took place during the 1920s and why this model failed in
Palestine. The author concludes that "the Zionist plans which assumed
that one could encourage voluntary transfer by creating attractive
economic conditions in the target areas, did not take into account the
factors of nationalism, ties to place of residence, religion, etc.
These factors carried no less weight than the economic factor and they
could effectively prevent any voluntary transfer of the Arab
population."

settle permanently in the United States. Rather, they emigrated
temporarily to the United States to make money in order to buy land in
Italy. The book documents the flow back to Italy of individuals and
remittances and discusses the strategies used by returnees in investing
American savings."

Data from the 1980 U.S. census are
examined for regional patterns in characteristics among return
migrants. "We examined return migrants age 60+ and argue that...they
fall into two primary types of movers: provincial return migrants and
counterstream return migrants. When profiled as a whole...return
migrants are older and more residentially dependent than nonreturn
migrants....Provincial return migration seems strongest in the
South...and counterstream return migration seems strongest in the
Northeast. Conceivably it is not a return to one's state of birth that
is at issue among counterstream migrants, but rather a return from a
Sunbelt retirement move to an earlier place of residence, regardless of
whether one was born there." Ethnic differences among migrants are
considered.

"Based on survey data on 1,400
rural migrants in Delhi, this paper examines within a multivariate
context the determinants of migrating with a pre-arranged job and of
the initial duration of urban unemployment. The results show that the
probability of moving with a pre-arranged job increases with education
and with age, and is higher for those who seek non-manual jobs. For
migrants who arrive in the city without a pre-arranged job,
unemployment duration depends on marital status, premigration
information on urban employment opportunities, and on the reliance on
contacts for job search."

these are young people coming from the states closest to the city, with
low levels of schooling. An increase is observed in out-migration from
Mexico City to other major cities in the

"In this paper, an individual model
of rural-urban migration is studied, emphasizing the effects of
information flow and urban wage dispersion. Migration is viewed in the
context of a lifetime program of job search. It is shown that
migration can occur even when the mean urban wage is no larger than the
rural income flow....Both the shape and spread of the urban wage
dispersion are shown to affect migration behavior significantly." The
geographical focus is on developing
countries.
