W. Rogers. Citizenship struggles in Soviet successor
states. International Migration Review, Vol. 26, No. 2, Summer
1992. 269-91 pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"The breakup of
the Soviet Union has transformed yesterday's internal migrants, secure
in their Soviet citizenship, into today's international migrants of
contested legitimacy and uncertain membership. This transformation has
touched Russians in particular, of whom some 25 million live in
non-Russian successor states. This article examines the politics of
citizenship vis-a-vis Russian immigrants in the successor states,
focusing on the Baltic states, where citizenship has been a matter of
sustained and heated controversy." The author concludes that "formal
citizenship cannot be divorced from broader questions of substantive
belonging. Successor states' willingness to accept Russian immigrants
as citizens, and immigrants' readiness to adopt a new state as their
state, will depend on the terms of membership for national minorities
and the organization of public life in the successor states." Data are
from a variety of published sources.

"This book represents one of the first systematic
attempts to explore the causes, nature and consequences of
gender-selective population movement in a range of countries in the
developing regions....Particular attention is paid to women's
experiences as migrants and/or as members of households from which men
migrate. Case studies by well-known researchers are drawn from Latin
America (Peru, Costa Rica), the Caribbean (Montserrat), Africa (Ghana,
Kenya), and Asia (Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia). These illustrate
the diversity of gender-selective migration and at the same time
highlight key similarities, in particular the constraints affecting the
movement of low-income women. The findings are used to assess the
relevance of current theoretical models and to suggest possible
directions or future research and policy."

"This paper documents
the patterns of female migration prevailing in different regions of the
world and relates them to economic, social and cultural factors, and
discusses the factors that would need to be included in a model of
female role-related migration. The effect of female migration on
female status and independence will depend very much on the context and
form of the migration, and this is illustrated by case studies of
female migration in different regions. The paper concludes with a
discussion of development policies on female migration, stressing that
unless development planners give specific attention to patterns of
migration and gender differences in patterns and motivation for
migration, they are likely to formulate policies which will exacerbate
the problems of female migrants." The geographical focus is on
developing countries.

88-94 pp. Moscow, USSR. In Rus.
Recent trends in migration within
and from the USSR following perestroika are analyzed. The author first
notes the unpreparedness of the Soviet authorities facing these changes
and the difficulties of developing policies designed to influence
migration in times of economic and political change. New migration
streams identified include a sharp increase of out-migration by
Russians from the non-Russian republics in the Caucasus and Central
Asia, migration from environmentally damaged areas, and increased
emigration by Jews and Germans, including ethnically mixed families.
The author predicts an increase in emigration from the USSR because of
worsening economic conditions.

"In this paper, I examine
some of the ways in which widely used migration indices are affected by
the impacts of heterogeneity and selection, which act within a
multistate perspective of spatial population dynamics that permits
increments as well as decrements in the selectivity (and return)
process. As a result, several commonly used indices of migration
introduce a specification bias into the analysis--a bias that reflects
the relative weighting accorded to component migration rates by the
initial population compositions and spatial distributions."

"In this

principal implication for migration analysis is that any migration rate
depends on the relative weighting accorded to its component rates by
the initial population's composition and spatial distribution....The
paper also demonstrates that migration rates that are not true
occurrence-exposure rates are especially ambiguous...." Data for

twentieth century and in the next century, the South Pacific migration
system is likely to be much more heavily influenced by proximity to
Asia than by its links with a distant Europe, which have dominated
transformations in society and economy since the late eighteenth
century."

discusses, through two demographic case studies, the postwar migration

development of ethnic minority populations within the European

The study shows that the same process occurs in both cases, starting
with migration, continuing through a period in which the migrant
minority population can be distinguished demographically from the host
population, and concluding when past migration patterns no longer have
any significant demographic effect.

on this result and other information, laborers appear to be the

that distress was the most important cause of immigration, even though

including the structure of the population, population and work force
projections, and current and future immigration patterns. It is
concluded that "increased immigration is not needed to satisfy
quantitative work force deficiencies at least for the next ten or
twenty years in Western Europe or the [European Community] in
general....Instead, in the long run, the greatest challenge facing
Europe's policymakers is to devise ways in which conditions of
employment and welfare support can help to make life sufficiently
tolerable for the women of Europe; that they can contemplate raising
the families upon which Europe's future depends while also exercising
their wish to work."

arrivals are explored. Comparisons are made with trends in Western
Australia. The authors identify policies that might influence the
geographic distribution of immigrants. The study examines the patterns
of interstate migration and migrant
characteristics.

This is a collection of articles by
various authors on the socioeconomic and demographic factors affecting
labor migration trends from Sri Lanka to the countries of the Middle
East. "The book [first]...presents the concept of survival migration,
which is considered a main characteristic of the Sri Lankan case. The
work goes on to describe the recruiting process and the level of fees
which migrants have to pay for a job abroad; the policy of the Gulf
States with regard to labour migration; the socio-economic conditions
of the Sri Lankan migrant workers; the socio-economic position and
religious status of Sri Lankan Muslim [migrant] women...; the impact of
labour migration on Sri Lankan society--specifically on social
stratification, social mobility, household structure, marriage
stability and the well-being of children--and conditions which lead to
the early return of migrants."

Bulletin of ESCWA, No. 33, Dec 1988. 33-56 pp. Baghdad, Iraq. In Eng.
The author examines the impact of oil-price fluctuations on labor
migration flows for Kuwait. The emphasis is on the effects of the
early-1980s price drop. "After reviewing these flows...this paper will
attempt to answer two main questions: (a) Do immigrants tend to remain
where they are and become part of the Kuwait of tomorrow, or is return
migration likely to be massive? (b) If there is a tendency to remain
in Kuwait, is this accompanied by a move towards the integration of
foreigners into a new society, or, on the contrary, is the 'separate
development' of two distinct societies taking
place?"

The impact of immigration on the
Australian economy is assessed using data from the Bureau of
Immigration Research and a review of the published literature. Topics
covered include domestic demand and supply, productivity effects,
aggregate effects, short-term stabilization, distributional effects,
and policy implications. The authors conclude that the main long-term
impact of immigration has been to contribute about 40 percent of
Australia's postwar population growth, which in turn has affected the
rate of economic growth and the size of the economy. They conclude
that "the short-term economic impact of varying immigration is
negligible, and no significant link has been established between
immigration and issues such as aggregate income inequality, the
effectiveness of the domestic source of skills, progress in industry
restructuring, and environment and urban infrastructure
problems."

arguments. The article also tries to show that arguments against the
extension of rights to immigrants generally give priority to collective

"This paper
examines the impact of labour emigration on the wages of both the
skilled and unskilled workers....Using...Pakistani data, it is found
that unskilled labour is used extremely intensively in the agriculture
sector (exportable), skilled labour is used extremely intensively in
the manufacturing sector (importable), and capital is used as the
middle factor in both the traded goods sectors. Moreover, capital is
used significantly less intensively in the construction (non-traded)
sector relative to both the traded sectors....The results suggest that
the higher wages to both the skilled and unskilled workers must be
compensated by a reduction in the rate of returns to capital if
export-oriented and import-competing sectors in Pakistan are to remain
internationally competitive."

standpoints....The first part [of this essay] is a comment on the

trans-Tasman migration issues play markedly little part. The second is

perspective of nation-state formation....Focusing on the many
experiences with the Polish minority (ranging from the eighteenth
century to the present), this essay suggests that Germans have never
discovered an acceptable and workable approach for dealing with large
non-German minorities in the German nation-state. Rather, different
regimes at different times have vacillated between an exclusive
approach founded on nationalist principles and practices and an
inclusive one founded on liberal principles and practices....The
confusion over the two approaches produces not only a confused
immigration policy, but also reflects deep-seated confusion over the
definition of the new German state and identity of the newly united
German nation."

Trends in migration from the
former Soviet Union are examined in light of recent political changes
there. The author projects that "the number of departures may go up to
1-1.5 million people a year. This may happen if the present
unfavorable socioeconomic conditions and instability continue to exist
and if technical problems related to exit arrangements are solved.
Once the situation normalizes first and foremost in Russia, the scope
of emigration may be maintained at a level of 500,000 to 600,000 people
per annum within the next two or three years and then begin to
decline."

A historical overview

beginning with the importation of slaves in the seventeenth century.
"The...review suggests a number of specific hypotheses for interpreting
the historical, structural, and cultural roots of the recent and
continuing exodus from the Caribbean. The forces involved in the
Caribbean migration system may be classified by: (1) the historical
period in which they emerged; (2) the extent to which they concern
jobs, wages, and other market forces as opposed to cultural and
ideological factors; and (3) their location: do they respond mainly to
push factors in the Caribbean or to pull factors abroad? Some major
elements in such a schema and how they vary across four historical
periods are outlined...."

are involved in Thai internal and international labour mobility....In
South-East Asia, as in other parts of the world, neither receiving nor

"This article shows that an analysis of the impacts of
immigration [in Western Europe] has to be divided into allocational and
distributional aspects. From an allocational point of view, like free
trade in goods, services and capital, migration is welfare-improving as
long as marginal productivities of labor are not equalized worldwide.
From a distributional point of view, however, the immigration society
has to bear the effects of sharing its common public goods and its
social values with the new immigrants. Free immigration will only be
allowed if the allocational welfare gains exceed the distributional
welfare losses. According to this rule of thumb, a guideline for an
efficient migration policy is sketched."

migration from developing to developed countries, the so-called
'South-to-North' component of international migration. The data reveal
that persons born in the developing world now constitute a majority of
the immigrants admitted for resettlement by the traditional countries
of immigration. In Europe, in contrast, migrants from developed
countries still predominate in migrant inflows. However, during the
1980s, European countries generally gained population from the
developing world, whereas they recorded only small or even negative net
migration balances with respect to other developed
countries."

"This article begins by reviewing the previous literature pertinent
to labour migration within Pakistan. Next, a migration equation at the
aggregate level is specified, based on the expected socio-economic
determinants of labour migration and data availability. Regression
analysis was used to identify and quantify the determinants of
interdistrict migration in Pakistan during the period 1971-1980. The
results demonstrate that one of the major determinants of migration
into a district was the percent of previous migrants in a district's
population. Interdistrict migration was also significantly associated
with the socio-economic variables of urbanization, population density,
and literacy rates. The research presented here provides evidence that
the movement of labour between districts in Pakistan is towards
locations of superior socio-economic
conditions."

we find the increases in the level of unemployment at the regional

increasing share of long-term unemployment at the regional level reduce
it, as does an increase in the mortgage interest rate. We also show

female migrants and identify the extent to which the choices depend on
economic characteristics in the destinations and the individual
characteristics of female migrants. The results indicate that growth
centers, as newly developing areas, were attractive to young migrants
with secondary education, and offered employment opportunities mainly
in service occupations. However, after controlling for individual
characteristics, economic characteristics in destinations had little
pull effect on migration of women."

development can both stimulate migration by bringing rural populations
into the mainstream of the larger society and retard it by improving
local conditions. To the extent that these forces, operating in
opposite directions, also have impacts of more or less similar
magnitude, we cannot expect schemes such as the IADP to curb the influx

"U.S. regional and state
migration data from the 1940s-80s, when members of the baby boom
generation aged into their years of peak labor force mobility, suggest
ways in which changing age composition regulates geographical mobility
and interregional migration. Labor supply pressure plays a key role in
the dynamics of the national migration system. A 'delayed mobility'
effect in the 1980s similar to the delayed fertility of the baby boom
cohorts appears to be a result of the depressed rates of mobility
experienced by members of this generation when they flooded regional
labor markets with record numbers of entrants in the 1970s. Recent
temporal shifts in age-specific volumes of interregional migration help
predict the future pace of migration based upon the projected age
distribution of the nation."

This is
the second of two volumes on migration in the United Kingdom. It
"provides an analysis of the changing level, composition and
geographical patterns of migration taking place within the United
Kingdom during the 1970s and 1980s. The book contains contributions
prepared by members of a Working Party on 'internal migration' set up
under the aegis of the Institute of British Geographers. Chapters are
organised on the basis of the national, regional or systematic
perspectives which they offer. [The volume demonstrates] the
importance of migration and...its role as a key agent of demographic,
social and economic change in a post-industrial society."

to forced migration can still be observed
today."

analyzed. Comparisons are made with the situation of temporary
migration to Western Europe. An attempt is made to forecast possible
trends in return migration from 1990 to 2000 (these forecasts do not
take into account the Gulf war of 1991).

The
authors examine temporary skilled migration to developing countries and
policies set up to encourage transfers of technology. "Developing
countries are increasingly looking abroad for the technical expertise
needed in the development process. A two-pronged strategy has evolved:
(1) to draw on foreign technology and technical advisers as a
short-term solution to existing deficiencies; and (2) to send nationals
abroad for graduate and/or advanced-level study in the sciences and
engineering as a long-term approach towards strengthening indigenous
science and technology capability."

International labor migration as a means of economic exchange among
countries is discussed. Policy changes in receiving countries are
analyzed within that context. "Instead of admitting foreign workers as
immigrants with the moral and socio-political obligations to them that
such an option implies, countries...prefer to pay for a rotating stock
of temporary labour that is exactly of the right type, available when
needed, and disposable when not, and whose demand on social
expenditures and integration within the host society is minimal. Host
countries are also increasingly precise about the specific skill
qualifications and other attributes that labour should possess to be
allowed entry for work purposes." The geographical scope is
worldwide.

Seasonal labor migration patterns within
the countries of the former USSR are analyzed. The author notes that
most of this migration is officially illegal, involves long working
hours, and has developed in response to laws of supply and demand.
Most of the migration is from outlying republics to areas of labor
shortage in Eastern Europe and the European parts of Russia. These
migrations are tolerated by the government on the grounds that they
help alleviate socioeconomic problems associated with the gap between
the demand for labor and human resources.

the Federal Republic of Germany, 1977-85. Environment and Planning
A, Vol. 24, No. 4, Apr 1992. 481-96 pp. London, England. In Eng.
County-level data are used to examine the evidence for turnaround
migration from urban to rural areas in the Federal Republic of Germany
during the period 1978-1985. "The coexistence of suburbanization and
counterurbanization for the 1978-85 time period is demonstrated. Young
adults, 18-25 years of age, gravitated towards the urban cores of
metropolitan areas and smaller urban areas. All the other age-groups
moved mainly towards the outer suburbs of metropolitan areas, the
suburbs of second-tier cities, and the rural counties. The two
migration matrices indicate that counterurbanization at the level of
regional planning areas was not present in 1977 but started in 1978 and
it was present in 1983. At the same spatial level, evidence of a net
gain of metropolitan areas from second-tier cities and rural areas is
also provided for 1977. This pattern was reversed for the 1978-85
period."
