"The short- and longer-term regional consequences
of migration for European aggregate supply are examined in a simple
model in which human capital enters the production function externally.
The planner chooses a reallocation of population across East and West
that cannot be replicated by the market without taxes or subsidies.
The market solution in this model with free migration is always
associated with an efficiency loss and might lead to the 'Mezzogiorno
syndrome' in the East."

"Patterns of population distribution revealed
from 1989 census data are used to assess how future population
movements could be affected by current political, social, and economic
changes. Much migration in the USSR has reflected central planning
decisions as much as the spontaneous decisions of individuals. To the
extent that the influence of the command economy diminishes and a
market economy emerges, major new directions of migration flows can be
expected. The return of ethnic 'expatriates' to home republics can be
expected to increase, as can economic migration to areas with favorably
perceived economic prospects, and migration to Central and Western
Europe."

"This paper
analyses the distribution of a country's population among regions when
migration involves fiscal externalities. The main question addressed
is whether a decentralized decision making [by] regional governments
can produce an optimal population distribution...or a centralized
intervention is indispensable, as argued before in the literature....It
turns out that, while with costless mobility the fiscal externality is
fully internalized by voluntary interregional transfers, with costly
mobility, centrally coordinated transfers still remain indispensable
for achieving the socially optimal
allocation."

with regard to migration in the former Soviet Union has switched from
internal to international migration. The political, ecological, and
economic factors that have brought about this change are discussed.
The growing emigration of skilled workers and international refugees
fleeing from Soviet problems is noted. The author suggests that such
emigration is encouraged not only by conditions in the former USSR but
also by the growing international effort to assist refugees in their
new countries of choice. The need for a new migration policy is
noted.

"This paper reviews the literature on the
neglected role of women in migration. It argues that focusing on
gender and the family can provide the necessary linkage of micro and
macro levels of analyses. Striving to contribute to a gendered
understanding of the social process of migration, the review organizes
the literature along these major issues: How is gender related to the
decision to migrate--i.e. what are the causes and consequences of
female or male-dominated flows of migration? What are the patterns of
labor market incorporation of women immigrants--i.e. what accounts for
their participation in the labor force and their occupational
concentration? What is the relationship of the public and the
private--i.e. what is the impact of work roles on family roles and of
the experience of migration on the immigrants themselves? Throughout,
the necessity to understand how ethnicity, class, and gender interact
in the process of migration and settlement is
stressed."

"We investigate the

status and labor force participation status are treated as joint
selection processes and are incorporated into the earnings models.
Despite the distinctive social and residential profiles of Mexican,
Puerto Rican, and Cuban men, results show that residence in a
concentrated ethnic area deters migration for all groups, even though
they experience modest earnings penalties....Because much research on
the Hispanic population has documented differences according to
national origin, it is noteworthy that our findings shows similar
effects of residence in concentrated ethnic areas on migration
probabilities and only trivial effects of migration on earnings for all
groups. However, consistent with prior research on economic
inequality, the effects of residence in an area of ethnic concentration
and area wage rates on earnings differed among Mexicans, Puerto Ricans,
and Cubans."

Following a brief
historical overview of Polish migration policies and trends, current
post-Communism migration is examined. The focus is on "two...types of
Polish emigration....The first, continuing over the last two decades,
is temporary labor emigration, when emigres spend two to three years
(especially overseas) or a few months (in Western Europe) working
outside of Poland. The second model of movement of Poles abroad is
short-term private business excursions to different regions of Europe
and Asia." The author examines "which migration policies will be
beneficial to Poland's political and economic systems, as the country
enters a new phase of development."

cultural affinity between respondents and undocumented migrants and to
the role of education as it affects one's degree of tolerance for
others. Respondents' strategic calculations of tangible costs and
benefits to themselves also influence their assessments of illegal

likely to come from larger premigration households and higher income
households. Remittance flows to Managua are quite large--the second
largest source of foreign exchange earnings after coffee. In addition,
remittances have a negative income effect on labor force participation

large-scale illegal migration from Mexico to the United States are

on Mexico's rapid population growth. The author then discusses the
effect of illegal immigration on U.S. sovereignty. Other topics
include the burden on social services and public assistance, the effect
on the labor market, the increase in border violence, illegal
immigrants and drug traffic, and the threat of urban racial tension.
The relative merits of both separatism and assimilation for illegal
migrants are considered, and the author discusses whether a threat to
U.S. security is posed. Finally, he examines what should be done about
illegal immigration.

Long-term immigration is measured by the number of new immigrants

status, arrivals of asylees and refugees, and nonimmigrants who arrive
during the year and stay for more than twelve months before departing.
The estimates of long-term immigration for 1983 are compared to

of U.S. residents born in Canada from the 1980 census of the United
States and compares them with matching tabulations of Canadian
residents born in the United States from the 1981 census of Canada. As
might be expected, the two populations are remarkably similar and the
preponderance of the migration flow is from Canada to the United
States. The comparative social and economic characteristics of the two
migrant stocks show the effects of increasing legal restrictions on
migration between the two countries in the last two decades. The
characteristics of the migrant flows have changed from large,
unregulated population movements responding to economic motivations
similar to internal migration flows to a much smaller, highly
controlled movement more typical of long-distance international

Press: Boulder, Colorado/Oxford, England. In Eng.
Major
international migration issues are examined and policy strategies, both
current and projected, are described. Consideration is given to
economic, political, educational, and kinship factors, as well as to
the impacts of migration on the countries involved, on migrant rights,
and on those left behind. "Numerous global changes have exacerbated
the normally chaotic world of international migration. Government
actions have the potential to change the volume and direction of
migration significantly and to respond to its social, economic, and
cultural impact. Economic dislocations similarly may generate new,
different patterns of international
migration."

This study examines the importance of remittances

considers two basic questions: "Are there enough island-born or
island-linked people in the labor forces of industrialized countries to
generate a given level of remittances to the island states?...[and]
Will those who are able to sustain the flow be willing to? In this
paper I examine the case of remittance flows between New Zealand and
Western Samoa."

"The purpose of this
research is to gain some understanding of whether [Mexican] households
modify their structure--by changing either their marriage pattern (or
nuptiality) or their reproductive behavior--when they enter into the
so-called migration syndrome. This concept refers to the
'self-sustaining mechanism' of seasonal or regular trips to the United
States by one or more of a household's members to earn the income
necessary to achieve a standard of living that cannot be realized
through labor activities in the communities of origin. The analysis of
data from four sending communities in Western Mexico on the
relationship between migration to the United States and household
formation and structure suggests that households in which one of the
members has ever migrated to the United States might have altered their
nuptiality or reproductive behavior to extract the full benefits of the
migration. In addition, the analysis also ponders whether higher
fertility is promoting migration to the United
States...."

childless retired persons, and those who have a child living in the

"This study tests the neoclassical
concept of interregional migration in post-World War II Japan. The
lead-lag relationship between net migration to a core area and regional
income inequalities is examined by modeling an ARIMA transfer function.
Until 1961, there was a rapid growth in net migration from the
periphery to the core area that was accompanied by rapid divergence in
regional income inequalities. Since then, migration to the core
apparently has declined due to a convergence of regional income
inequalities. The time series analysis indicates there has been
short-run, as well as long-run, volatility in migration related to
cyclical variations in economic performance in the
core."

The authors analyze internal

The basic theory of the "hiring function" is employed, which states
that the number of hirings depends on the number of people seeking work
and on the number of job vacancies. Using this approach, migration is
viewed as a consequence of a successful job search rather than as a
precondition for it. A model of interregional migration is developed
using data from the National Health Service Central
Register.

The author maintains that "a
careful reading of Patterns of Mobility can help to reinvigorate the
debate about the causes and effects of geographic mobility and its
relationship to occupational distributions and labor market structures.
In order [to] make this case, I shall first discuss some of the
current thinking about the potential place of migration in the study of
the labor market, and then attempt to illustrate these views with some
qualitative and descriptive data from my research on a Southern Italian
steel town. I will suggest some directions for future research based
on insights to be gained from a closer reading of Goldstein's early
book on the topic."

to be young, never married, white, mentally disabled, and either newly
or cyclically homeless individuals. Long-term residents, in contrast,
were apt to be older, physically disabled or suffering from a
health-related problem, and had been homeless for some time. The
dominant reason given for moving was to find a job...." Coping

with sum. in Eng.
Internal migration patterns in Belgium for the
period 1977-1990 are analyzed and compared, with a focus on the impact
of economic factors on such migration. "The hypothesis formulated (and
confirmed) is that migration, especially when viewed in connection with
sub-urbanization, declines during a downward economic trend, and vice
versa."

The author attempts to
determine whether "return migrants to Puerto Rico can capitalize at
home on the labor market experience accumulated in the U.S. The
results show that the earnings of returnees do not increase with time
spent in the U.S....The results are suggestive of negative selectivity
of return migration to Puerto Rico."

"Using...data
from a longitudinal survey of migration in Mali's Senegal River Valley,
this chapter presents data showing the extent to which circular
migration was adopted as a strategy for coping with the drought of
1983-85. We first outline the circumstances under which families in
this region might choose circular over permanent migration as part of
their drought survival strategy. We then present data from the survey,
documenting the rise in circulation during the drought and highlighting
family and community factors which affect circulation and more
permanent migration. The chapter concludes with some observations
about how our models for development and drought-resistance could
change to better accommodate the realities of
circulation."

Characteristics of the female transient
population of reproductive age in Shanghai, China, are assessed using
data from an October 1988 survey. "Not only did this survey supply
large quantities of basic data on the floating population for the
Shanghai government and related departments, but [it] was also very
enlightening for our research into how to make a good job of family
planning administration for China's urban-rural floating
population."

policy restrictions: unauthorized flows from Mexico. In:
Migration, population structure, and redistribution policies, edited by
Calvin Goldscheider. 1992. 137-57 pp. Westview Press: Boulder,
Colorado/Oxford, England. In Eng.
Patterns of illegal migration
between Mexico and the United States are examined. "While many
unauthorized migrants settle, this paper argues that a much larger
component circulates repeatedly between the two nations and therefore
it is useful to address migrant strategies within their historical,
community, and geopolitical contexts....This paper first presents the
rationale behind continuing high levels of circular migration
patterns....Three major sources of data on Mexican migration are
examined: legal flows, net-migration to the resident unauthorized
stock, and apprehension data as a loose indicator of more circular
flows. Finally, data from [the U.S. Immigration Reform and Control
Act] legalization program are used to document the great variety of
mobility patterns that exist across a range of unauthorized community
types."

Xiushi. Temporary migration and its frequency from urban
households in China. Asia-Pacific Population Journal, Vol. 7, No.
1, Mar 1992. 27-50 pp. Bangkok, Thailand. In Eng.
"Using Zhejiang
Province [China] as a case study, this article first relates temporary
migrants to non-migrants at urban origins to determine the individual
and household determinants of temporary migration from urban
households. The analysis will then focus on temporary migrants
themselves to investigate the relationship between individual/household
characteristics and migration-related variables on one hand and the
frequency of temporary migration on the other. The data used were
collected in urban places." It is found that "most temporary migration
from urban households in China is a result of business-related exchange
of information, expertise and skills necessitated by economic
development."

The relationships among rural-urban migration, underemployment, and
government policy are explored using data from two surveys on female
migration to Fortaleza, Brazil. The results suggest that for this
segment of the labor force, the unfavorable responses to government
policy predicted by Michael Todaro and others do not
occur.

The authors
examine recent trends in Australia in turnaround migration, or the
movement of the population from urban to rural areas. "The paper
assesses the major changes which have occurred in population trends
within the non-metropolitan sector of the nation, South Australia and,
in particular, a study area in the lower north region of South
Australia. The analysis of the case study region draws upon a survey
undertaken in 1968-1970 and partially replicated in 1980 and 1990. It
appears that for Australia in general and for the study area the
turnaround is continuing but at a slower pace and in a more spatially
concentrated pattern."

"In this paper...[Kendall's] association coefficient is proposed as
a measure of emigration selectivity....This coefficient allows [one]
not only to compare the level of emigration selectivity connected with
selected features but also to evaluate which of these features incline
population to stay in their environment. As an example the emigration
from the rural areas in Poland in 1987 is considered. According to the
results one can say that emigration selectivity coincides with the
considered features (female sex and the 20-29 age). In the same manner
the selectivity of immigration may be
considered."

"The main objective of this paper is to study the nature
of daily rural-urban migration (commutation) and its role in
development of rural households [in India]. The specific objectives of
this article are divided into three parts. In the first section the
pattern of commutation from rural households is discussed through a
probability model whereas in the second section the mobility expectancy
tables are computed based on the usual assumptions of a general life
table plus the assumptions particular to migration and commutation.
The third section deals with the comparative study of the impact of
commutation and other types of movements on the development of rural
households. The data for this study are taken from [a] three year
prospective survey...[of] three different [types] of villages showing
different phases of development."
