population were considering migration. Ethnic factors played a major
role in choice of destination, with Kirghiz people wanting to remain in
Kirghizia and other ethnic groups wanting to move to their republics of
ethnic origin.

individual migrants determine migration patterns and remittance

Worcester, Massachusetts. In Eng.
The relationship between
immigration to and labor movements within the United States is examined
using a model that links migration, occupations, production and
institutional relations in the economy, and economic restructuring.
The authors conclude that "native blue-collar workers have been
spatially displaced by recent immigration and that the process of
capital accumulation, as manifested in economic restructuring, is the
driving force behind the mobility system, affecting both immigration
patterns and the destination choices of white-collar workers. As a
result, we suggest that previous estimates of immigrant impacts on
local labor markets may be underestimated."

"Immigration to Canada, after a major policy change in 1978
which favored the family reunification class, has been dominated by
Third World immigrants. These immigrants continue to be a significant
source of highly trained individuals for Canada. Using an excess
demand model to estimate the determinants of demand, this paper finds
that the supply of domestic graduates, occupational income and the
previous period's immigration level are major variables that influence
Canada's demand for skilled immigrants. Thus, it is argued that the
movement in these variables primarily guides Canadian immigration
policy toward skilled immigrants."

The author
comments on the current situation concerning immigration to Europe, and
notes that the demographic, political, and economic events that have
resulted in massive pressures to emigrate from northern Africa and from
Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union cannot now be changed.
Although immigration from the east might be both easily assimilated and
demographically desirable, the demand for immigration from the
developing world will continue to increase. The author suggests that
even hostility toward third-world immigrants, coupled with
discrimination, will not discourage migrants fleeing from their
countries of origin. The implications of this for Western Europe are
considered.

Coventry, England. In Eng.
"There is currently a great deal of
concern about character and dimensions of East-West migration to
Europe. By seeing this movement and potential movement in a
comparative and historical setting, some understanding of the overall
dynamics of labour flows in a 150 year period is gained. Key worldwide
migratory movements are identified, focusing particularly on migration
from Europe to the colonies and the U.S. successive periods of
migration to Europe and the contemporary and projected movements to
Europe from the 'East' and the 'South'. The political and social
status of the migrants is also assessed."

Union in 1987 to unrestricted international migration. She notes that
emigration remained relatively limited up to 1991, when new laws
confirming the right to emigrate and to return were adopted. It is
concluded that political, social, economic, and other factors are
changing too quickly to assess the prospects for future
emigration.

The authors review patterns and trends
in international migration to Western Europe, with a focus on flows to
France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and West Germany. They find
that migration "patterns can be explained by historical, linguistic,
cultural, and economic factors. In addition to these factors, patterns
of immigration are shaped by internal political decisions (especially
policies concerning foreign labor recruitment) and by economic,
political, and demographic developments that take place outside Western
Europe."

"Although immigration has played an
important role in shaping the demographic history of Canada, relatively
little systematic work has been undertaken to study the process of
labor market adjustment associated with these large flows. Using a
multinomial logit model we examine the match between
individual-specific characteristics (e.g., origin, occupation, etc.) of
immigrants and regional labor market demands. The data set consists of
a 3% sample of immigrants drawn from the manifests of ships landing at
Halifax and Quebec in 1912. Our principal finding is that the
differing regional settlement patterns of immigrants specifying
intentions to work in different sectors, the high correlation between
immigrants intended and previous occupations, and anecdotal evidence
suggest that immigrants did match their skills to demand in Canada as
part of a labor market which apparently stretched back across the
Atlantic (or at least to the ships that carried them to
Canada)."

The author reviews international
labor migration from the state of Tamil Nadu, India, during the period
1830-1950. "An attempt is made to interpret migration processes in
terms of migratory cycle. The cycle of migration streams is divided
into three phases: perfect regulation, growing independence,
government-controlled termination. These stages of the cycle
correspond to the progressive constitution of a permanent migrant
community in receiving countries. Such a pattern can help analyse
other examples of international labour migration in the contemporary
situation." The focus is on migration to Burma, Ceylon, and
Malaya.

family migration and settlement will be encouraged by geographic and
cultural proximity. As intraregional labor migration becomes more

are the origins of the problem? What are the views of the various
interest groups which seek to influence government policy regarding
illegal migrants? What are the demographic characteristics of the
illegal migrants? Where did the illegal migrants come from? In order
to answer these questions, a series of interviews was conducted with
labor officials and planners." He concludes that "planners favor the
legalization of foreign workers; individual entrepreneurs also consider
legalization a wise option. Labor leaders, as expected, are opposed to

migration to New Zealand, a demographic profile of the migrants, and

phenomenon after independence in 1962, with primarily young, unskilled
workers moving to take up jobs in the agricultural and service sectors.
Remaining essentially unchanged since 1962, New Zealand's immigration
policy gives preferential treatment to Western Samoans and recognizes
their valuable labor contribution. The future of migration to New
Zealand is discussed in the context of the costs and benefits to
Western Samoa....The author argues that emigration has been beneficial

examined...deal with the years from 1835 to 1880, which are covered by

Netherlands." Two sets of push factors are identified. "The first are
deprivation factors, such as epidemics, bad harvests, poverty, and
persecution. At the same time, it is posited that many emigrants left
for precisely the opposite reason: that things were going well in the
home country."

the legally resident foreign-born population at the same date. The
demonstration of a measurable undocumented population residing in the
United States is very helpful in evaluating the success of the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Despite the legalization
of 1.7 million aliens who provided evidence of undocumented residence
since before 1982, and economic sanctions against employers found to
hire undocumented workers, an undocumented population persists in the
United States that appears to be largely composed of aliens from Latin
American countries. Precise measurement of the size of this population
is complicated by the uncertainties surrounding the population of
approximately one million Special Agricultural Workers admitted under
IRCA."

paper identifies short-term fluctuations in the [U.S.] interstate
migration system using annual state-to-state migration flow data from

Measures of migration efficiency are employed to indicate the net
redistribution of population between states relative to the size of
underlying gross interstate flows. Three findings stand out: (1)
migration was more effective in redistributing the population in years
of economic retrenchment than during periods of growth and expansion,
(2) the dominant pattern of population redistribution shifted from a
core-periphery configuration evident in the 1970s and early 1980s to a
bi-coastal distribution by the mid-1980s, and (3) the most dramatic
event of the 1980s was the oil glut and decline in oil prices and
profits which ravaged the economies of energy states in the West South
Central and Mountain regions....Overall, results demonstrate the high
degree of temporal and spatial volatility in the U.S. interstate
migration system."

Migration trends in Estonia
since 1947 are reviewed. The analysis indicates that the country's age
distribution began to change earlier than that of other Eastern
European countries. "Immigration started earlier too, first with the
influx from the Estonia hinterland into the capital, then, after the
second world war, with the gradual common workforce influx from the
Republics of the Soviet Union." The author concludes that
in-migration, combined with greater migration among younger people, has
resulted in increased demographic aging, a trend that has to be taken
into account when developing social policy.

The author
examines circular labor migration in the island state of Fiji and
analyzes the impact of uneven regional development. He finds that "the
phenomenon of labour mobility in Fiji is encouraged by the existing
pattern of uneven regional development which creates and contributes to
limited economic opportunities. This is manifested by a disparity in
the average annual growth rate of the provincial population, which
implies migration from the lower income provinces to the higher income
provinces. Circular labor migration follows the same path. Gains to
the village economy from circular mobility, especially in the remote
periphery and the outer islands, take the form of remittances which
supplement local income."

Jul 1992. S197-203 pp. Washington, D.C. In Eng.
"We tested the
hypothesis that elderly migration, both seasonal and permanent, to
[U.S.] Sunbelt states such as Arizona is the result, in part, of
economic gains made in unaffordable housing markets. The results of a
multiple regression analysis of interstate migration flows to Arizona
support the hypothesis. Moreover, the stronger relationship for
seasonal migration suggests that elderly households are unwilling to
realize housing gains in unaffordable markets but, nevertheless,
'spend' the gains on seasonal migration. Such behavior is rational if
housing is viewed as an investment and expectations of future returns
are greater in unaffordable markets. Given that the study was based on
housing gains of the 1970s, the results suggest that more recent
elderly migration may be even more influenced by such gains, inasmuch
as regional differences in housing affordability have become more
pronounced."

The
relationship between changes in the geographic location of economic
activity in Italy and changes in internal migration patterns is
explored. The migration data, which are from official sources, concern
the period 1961-1987; the focus for economic trends is on the decade
1971-1981. The first part of this volume examines migration trends and
the quality of the data available. The second part analyzes regional
development. The third part looks at the relationship between regional
development and migration. The authors conclude that interprovincial
migration in Italy during the 1970s was not significantly affected by
economic factors.

from the positive balance for the age group 20-24 years in the cities;
from the debit balance for the group 25-39 years in the weaker economic
regions and the city centres, and the positive balance for the suburban
regions; and finally from the positive balance for the age group older

Middle East Policy, Vol. 1, No. 2, 1992. 120-35 pp. Washington, D.C. In

The causes and consequences of large-scale immigration from
the former USSR to Israel are examined in this study. "In particular,
it will focus on the conditions which encourage Jewish citizens to
emigrate to Israel, the situation they face on arrival, the role of
Israel and the World Zionist Organization in organizing the immigration
and the effects of the immigration on both the Palestinians in the
occupied territories and those who remain within Israel's pre-1967
borders." The author focuses on two themes: first, the development of
privileges for Jewish citizens; second, the implementation of policies
such as land expropriation that point toward the transfer or expulsion
of the Palestinian population as a long-term Israeli
objective.

The author describes cyclical migration from the densely
populated Nile Delta region of Egypt during the 1970s. The trend
toward this type of migration emerged as a strategy for coping with a
lack of local resources without having to permanently migrate to an
urban environment. She concludes that "while emigration [to] the Gulf
countries helped greatly in this process...cyclical migration towards
the towns brought about a longer-term strategy. It furthered the
survival of most agricultural developments and encouraged the expansion
of a more and more urbanised social
strata."

"This study
examines the regional differences in 1975-1980 return migration
patterns for states within the United States based on two return
migration variables; (1) the percentage of in-migrants to a state who
are returnees, and (2) the number of returnees as a share of those who
are 'at risk' of returning....A typology is developed to classify
states according to their return characteristics and the implications
of the different return patterns are discussed. Significant regional
variance in the volume of return migration, and major differences in
migration motives and migrant characteristics between returnees and
non-returnees suggest a need to decompose interstate migration flows
when modeling patterns of human movement at a national
scale."

"This
paper contains a model with which the desirability of persistent
urbanization can be examined. There are two regions: city and
countryside. Joint restrictions on the technologies in each region and
on preferences over the goods produced in each region are the driving
force of migration. In equilibrium there is persistent migration from
the countryside to the city. Even though there are externalities in
production, the competitive equilibrium is Pareto optimal." The focus
is on developing countries.

process of rural-urban migration of landless rural families in South
Asia [is analyzed] using field data from Dattabad slum in Calcutta and
from Notuk village in Midnapur District, West Bengal, India, and from

diminishing access to non-market goods and lack of employment of
females caused a significant fall in family income which forced these
rural families to migrate to Dattabad slum. Their migration-decision
was linked to the onset of poverty and lack of economic
security....This suggests the importance of a 'push-factor' in their
migration-decision. While all family members migrated together and all
hoped to find some employment in Calcutta, only female members in all
families were employed."

Economics Letters, Vol. 37, No. 4, Dec 1991. 477-82 pp. Amsterdam,
Netherlands. In Eng.
"This paper challenges the prediction of
Todaro's model of rural-to-urban migration that an 'increase in urban
employment increases urban unemployed.' It is shown that if the urban
demand for labor is isoelastic or inelastic, creation of urban jobs
causes urban unemployment to decline and urban-to-rural migration to
take place. Moveover, urban job creation always reduces the rate of
urban unemployment. The paper then remodels the urban job search
process and derives the result that equilibrium urban unemployment
would not vanish even if the urban-rural wage gap were eliminated."
The geographical focus is on developing
countries.
