The author examines the migration of agricultural workers in Africa
to earn incomes in regions of agricultural export production. The
history of rural development in Africa since the end of World War II is
reviewed, shifts in migration patterns are examined, and the impact on
social structure is discussed. It is shown that international
emigration played an important role in the past, but future prospects
for flexible adaptation between international movements of labor and
agricultural products are bleak.

"A review of the
existing literature on human migration reveals relatively few studies
that explicitly examine the relationships between public policy
decisions and human migration flows. The surveyed literature includes
studies of national policies, such as defence spending, migration
subsidies and intergovernmental transfers, as well as sub-national
policies, such as welfare and unemployment benefits, state and local
taxes, education and other public services. Suggestions for
incorporating public sector information into existing migration
analysis frameworks and further areas of research are provided." The
geographical focus is on developed

"The present paper shows that in the
case of temporary migration the optimal investment into country
specific human capital should be lower than in the case of permanent
migration. Investments may not be sufficient to allow migrants'

those of permanent migrants in Australia, Canada, and the United

and personal attributes) variables. We test these hypotheses by
estimating a proportional hazards model. The parameter estimates of
this model indicate that sojourn length in the United States, and thus
the decision to return to Puerto Rico, is a function of wage trends and
community characteristics on the mainland plus a number of individual
attributes that include education, marriage, and

This is a
collection of articles investigating the relationship between European
expansion and international migration. "In surveying these long
distance migrations we will first attempt to establish the relative
quantitative volume of the various movements [since 1500]. Secondly,
attention will be paid to the demographic, socioeconomic, and cultural
differences that existed, and still exist, between the international
migrants from Europe, Africa, and Asia. Finally, a balance sheet of
the various migration movements will be drawn up in an attempt at
predicting the future of intercontinental migrations now that Europe
has virtually dissolved its empires." The authors examine "i)
push-pull factors, ii) the demography of the sending regions, iii)
female migration, iv) transportation, v) integration or isolation in
the receiving areas, vi) return migration, [and] vii) capital movements
related to migration."

Vol. 37, No. 2-3, Apr 1993. 435-42 pp. Amsterdam, Netherlands. In Eng.
The link between trade policy and international migration is
explored using data from the United States and Europe. "We conclude
that restrictive trade policies in industrialised countries have most
likely added to migration pressures. We then turn to the broader
question of the effects of income growth in the sending countries on
the propensity to migrate. We argue that, in relatively poor
countries, an increase in income will be associated with higher
migration flows. For middle income countries, however, income growth
will lead to lower migrations. In the medium run, therefore, the
relationship between development levels, as measured by GDP per capita,
and the propensity to migrate follows an inverse-U pattern.
Econometric analysis of aggregate migration flows from Southern Europe
provides considerable support for such
conjecture."

relations: immigration, between law and the market. [Immigration
et logiques d'Etats dans les relations internationales: l'immigration,
entre droit et marche.] Etudes Internationales, Vol. 24, No. 1, Mar
1993. 31-50 pp. Quebec, Canada. In Fre.
The author examines reasons
why large Western democracies have difficulty controlling immigration.
The issue is discussed from the viewpoint of a political economist who
maintains that there is a certain "state logic" concerning immigration
in the major receiving countries. The implications of this approach
for the development of immigration policy and international relations
are explored. The geographical focus is on the United States, France,
and Germany.

In Eng.
"The contention in this article is that immigration [to the
United States], legal and illegal, has greatly reduced the net number
of jobs available to the low-skill worker....I examine the evidence
from four experiments regarding the impact of immigrants on American
workers jobs: first, field data from the 1982 experiment termed Project
Jobs in which thousands of illegal immigrants were deported by the
Reagan administration in an attempt to create jobs for American
workers. Then, three individual field studies in the Houston [Texas]
Metropolitan Area during the 1980's which attempted to measure the
willingness of the unemployed to take dirty jobs typically held by
illegal immigrants....Finally, two recent comprehensive econometric
measures of job displacement and wage depression are
reviewed."

"The abandonment of the White Australia Policy after World War
II and the implementation of a points system in Australia's immigration
program have led to a dramatic increase in the number of highly
educated Asian migrants in the country. A study of 144 entrepreneurs
of small business in the Indian and Chinese communities in Brisbane and
Sydney found that, faced with institutionalized blockages, few of these
highly educated migrants could practice what they were originally
trained for. The majority of them, with their class resources,
determination and optimism, became reluctant
entrepreneurs."

The authors examine problems
posed by East-West migration, particularly the growing migration
pressure from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union to Western
Europe. They argue in favor of the free movement of labor and for the
reduction in trade barriers and for investment in the former Communist
countries. It is also suggested that free trade and capital flows will
reduce the flow of migration, but that Europe should still permit the
immigration of skilled workers on a scale similar to that of the United
States.

the emergence of transnationalism to recent changes in the world

that governments retain the right to determine who and how many shall
be permitted to enter [their countries. He concludes that] as a matter
of political realism...a significant increase in the flow of refugees
or of unwanted illegal economic migrants is likely to lead the
governments of population-receiving countries to consider various forms
of intervention to change the domestic factors that force or induce
people to leave their homeland. If a people violate the boundaries of
a neighboring country, then they and their government should expect
others to intervene in their internal
affairs."

comments on a study by Ardeshir Anjomani and Vida Hariri "of United

'flow diversion' and 'flow creation' effects. Their discussion and
evaluation of the model, however, are marred by several factors. This
paper contrasts the roles of migrant stock and lagged migration in
migration analysis and then addresses (a) the problems encountered when
the 'family-friends' effect is proxied with measures of lagged migrant
flows, (b) the problem of using a two-period lagged value of earlier
migrant flow as an explanatory variable, and (c) this paper suggests an
alternative method of correcting the Anjomani-Hariri model's problems
with multicollinearity."

results "suggest that workers follow jobs in the defense industry,
rather than vice versa, and indicate that a process of defense-related
regional labor pool formation, amplified by interstate migration, adds
to the volume of interregional labor
flows."

"In this paper we consider the
nature of possible equilibria in a regional economic system
characterised by an absence of net migration flows but the presence of
gross flows. We argue that the presence of gross flows in a stationary
equilibrium is most easily generated through the introduction of
stochastic elements into the decision maker's migration calculus....We
then interpret the model of Schachter and Althaus (1989) in terms of a
rational expectations equilibrium, and demonstrate how their tests are
incapable of discriminating between equilibrium and disequilibrium
models of migration behavior. We propose a set of alternative tests
which explicitly recognize the stock-flow interactions between net
migration and the distribution of regional population stocks and which
make a clean distinction between equilibrium in the temporal and in the
market-clearing sense." The geographical focus is on the United

effect intensifies as the level of violence escalates. The country

"In a recent paper...Andrei Rogers
persuasively argues for the use of a multiregional perspective rather
than a uniregional one in measuring and projecting the dynamics of
internal migration. In particular, he highlights the deficiencies of
using net migration rates in population projections, giving
illustrations of the very large differences that can occur if constant
net migration rates are assumed versus fixed interregional transition
probabilities....This paper explores alternative, more behaviorally
pleasing interregional models that posit a role for shifting
destination populations in altering the attractiveness of migration
alternatives. Density-dampened, destination-population-weighted
transition probability structures are explored. The importance of
modeling intraregional migration separately from nonmovement is
stressed."

Canada. In Fre.
This is a review of the recent literature on
frontier migration, which is defined here as voluntary and involuntary
migration across international borders, primarily involving refugees.
Three themes are identified: the dynamics of voluntary international
migration, the concept of asylum for refugees, and the problems
involved in devising suitable migration
policies.

"This article examines the UN
policies encouraging emigration from the Palestinian refugee camps
through educating Palestinians and sending them for work abroad. Data
show that emigration is more related to certain types of employment,
especially skilled labor and white-collar jobs, than to employment per
se. The data were collected, through personal interviews, from Dair El
Balah refugee camp in Gaza Strip in 1986. There are 291 observations
representing individuals who are 19 years old or over. A major
conclusion of this study is that the educational policies initiated and
operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)
contributed to the dispersion of about one third of the refugees in the
1960s and the 1970s."

"This paper
examines data from published sources and ethnographic studies conducted
by the authors in Oakland, California and Philadelphia [Pennsylvania]
to assess the economic situation of Vietnamese refugees in the United
States. Evidence suggests that in strong contrast to being a 'success
story,' the economic status of many recently arrived Vietnamese
refugees is characterized by unstable, minimum-wage employment, welfare
dependency and participation in the informal economy. The paper
suggests that the group's economic opportunities have been limited by
the configuration of circumstances that have surrounded their entry and
settlement into the United States as refugees, as well as by the
demographic structure of the group."

This
is an anthropological study of spontaneous migration to Amazonia in
Brazil. "It tells the story of the inhabitants of Santa Terezinha
(Mato Grosso), a village in southeastern Amazonia settled primarily by
northeastern Brazilian small farmers who had migrated westward in their
search for unclaimed land. Tracing the impact on regional inhabitants
of national development policies and specifically the establishment of
corporate cattle ranches, the author analyzes the many constraints
frontier households face and the survival strategies employed in trying
to eke out a living and realize a dream of
betterment."

"The
purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between extended
commuting and migration in the Taipei [Taiwan] metropolitan area.
Specifically, we are interested in two aspects of this relationship.
One is the relative size or contribution of extended commuting and
migration to the labor force of the Taipei metropolitan area. The
other is whether extended commuting and migration are alternatives for
every type of labor group....We found that [the] volume of extended
commuters supersedes that of migrants....When migrants are directly
compared with extended commuters, we [also] find that migrants are
younger than extended commuters. Of marital status and education,
migrants are unmarried and with less education...." Differences in
occupational status are discussed. Data are from a 1988 labor force
survey.

Moreover, the distinctive socioeconomic features of Shanghai and

"In an attempt
to consider contract labor and other forms of temporary migration from
the Philippines within the context of several interacting processes, I
will first examine aspects of the international economy and government
policy that set the stage for labor movement. It will then be argued
that international migration flows emerge as a complex set of links
that connect individuals and communities to the national capital region
and ultimately to places abroad. This approach acknowledges that
structural imbalances provide conditions for potential movement, but
that this potential is translated into movement flows only when links
between various people, places and mediating structures are actually
activated through social networks. Once these links are established, a
cascading system of migration emerges that is held together by a series
of interpersonal relationships."

factors, particularly the employment conditions prevailing in Puerto
Rico during this period. Within this framework, specific hypotheses
suggest a negative influence of return migrant status....The findings

"The article outlines some results
of research on the impact of return migration on social change in the
Egyptian countryside. Fieldwork was done in six villages situated in
three different provinces in 1987/88....Between 19 and 43 per cent of
households in the villages concerned have some external migration
experience. Within the more general framework of economic
liberalization introduced in the Sadat era, international labour
migration is related to structural change in village society. Workers'
remittances are mainly used for construction and consumption purposes.
Investment of remittances is less developed....The assumption
underlying this analysis is that channeling savings into rural
development is possible provided adequate support facilities for small
enterprise development exist."

The author analyzes seasonal
labor migration patterns within the former USSR. She notes that much
of this movement is officially illegal, involves long working hours,
and has in part developed in response to supply and demand factors.
The government has tolerated these migrations on the grounds that they
help close the gap between the demand for labor and the supply of
workers. Migrant characteristics and motives for migrating are
considered.

"The effects of rural-to-urban migration on the poverty status

before and after a rural-to-urban migration, a proportional hazards
model of time spent in poverty that begins in rural areas is estimated
to determine whether moving to an urban area reduces the time spent in
poverty while controlling for individual educational and family
characteristics. Results indicate that moving from a rural to an urban
area reduces time spent in poverty for white and black women but the
effects are not statistically significant for men. Further, to
adequately understand the relationship between moving to an urban area
and poverty, the analysis examines the effects of moving on the length
of time spent not employed."
