"The objective of this paper is
to bring together all the salient elements of migration in one
typology, including the types of interaction which result in migration,
the causal factors involved, the types of migration which result and
the spatial and temporal dimensions of migration....A related objective
is to draw attention to migration resulting from the interaction
between man and man, and man and development
projects."

problem. Environment and Planning A, Vol. 25, No. 8, Aug 1993.
1,201-9 pp. London, England. In Eng.
The use of the Poisson
regression approach to the modeling of migration is evaluated using
1981 census data on migration for Hereford and Worcester County,
England. "It is shown that for this exceedingly sparse data set the
deviance figures attained are very low, suggesting that there may be a
problem of underdispersion....A simulation approach to the assessment
of model goodness of fit is suggested, and the results from applying it
to the Hereford and Worcester data set are
described."

"On the basis of a West German sample of
residence histories that is representative of three birth cohorts, of
which the one born in 1939-41 is analysed, log-linear techniques were
applied to separate the effects of being married, and of getting
married, on migration rates. Results show that the dependence of short
and long distance moves on age substantially [diminishes] if marriage
is considered as a synchronization variable. Moreover, the common
finding that married persons move less than the unmarried is reversed
at short distances if marriage is taken into account as an event which
influences the probability of another (event
dependence)."

"Using survey data from high school students of Scotland's Shetland

relations between intentions to migrate and individual background,

predict migration intentions. Instead, migration intentions are
predicted by essentially the same variables identified in other
studies, in areas where energy development was not occurring. Thus, we
found no evidence that oil development fundamentally changed young
people's thoughts about leaving."

Central America have been originated and influenced mainly by social
and economic causes, as well as by social-political conflicts in the
area, the latter affecting especially El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala
and Panama. Although bringing some relief to the families through
remittances of money earned abroad, the general effects are negative
for countries of origin, due to the loss of labor [and] ruptures in
family relations. On the other hand, they significantly influence
labor markets in the countries of destination, such as Costa Rica,
Honduras, Mexico and the United States. The countries in the area must
now prepare themselves to receive many of those migrants back
home."

This study of recent
international migration to Portugal "spotlights the presence of
official registrations, the recent wave of illegals, their family
dependents and the impact of each of these groups on the development of
Portuguese society....The unevenness of discriminatory practice
(particularly with respect to education and housing) is discussed and
the need to define the position of all illegal immigrants in Portugal
and to try to assist the black sections of the migrant population in a
more sympathetic manner is outlined."

"This article examines the determinants of
emigration from post-Famine Ireland. As Irish real wages rose relative
to those in destination countries, the emigration rate fell. We argue,
from time series analysis, that much of the secular fall in the rate
can be explained by that narrowing of the wage gap. County-level,
cross-sectional analysis of emigration rates indicates that poverty and
low wages, large family size, and limited opportunities to acquire
smallholdings all contributed to high rates of emigration. Changes in
those variables over time reflect the rise in living standards,
consistent with time series evidence."

immigration has become a prominent feature of industrial societies, and
why liberal democracies in particular have difficulty in controlling
immigration. The principal focus is immigration in postwar Europe,
specifically in France and Germany--two states that have struggled to
cope with largescale migrations. The European experience is compared
with the American to highlight some of the differences between the Old
World and the New, and to explore the convergence of policies that
affirm freer markets for migrant labor and greater protection of the
civil rights of aliens."

unemployment, and migration across borders as related to borderline

Institution, such as immigration policies, is another element to
influence the immigration flow....Second, by using the 1980 U.S. Census

wages. Compared to the native-born white, there is no evidence that
Asian-born scientists and engineers receive lower wages or lower return

empirically whether resident foreigners are a burden or a benefit for
the Swiss public transfer system. The estimation is based on the

in 1990 the presence of foreigners has not put additional strain on the
public coffers, but that, on the contrary, there was a beneficial
financial effect for the natives. An analysis of this profitable
immigration result shows the influence of the variables age (negative),
number of children (negative), household income (positive) and

these methods have improved significantly since 1982, that recent
estimates are in a much narrower range than before, and that the
probable maximum size of the illegal alien population is 3.4
million.

The author examines migration flows to and from Colombia and notes
that "Colombia has been experiencing in the last decades different
kinds of spatial mobility, towards the United States, Europe, Venezuela
and other countries in Latin America. Since the 80s return flows have
become important." The impacts on migration of improved education and
women's status, and the lack of legal employment opportunities are
examined.

Italy and other Southern European countries from nations of emigrants
to nations of immigrants. In the second section, the volume and
characteristics of immigration to Southern Europe are analysed in an
attempt to point out, given the context of national characteristics,
the similarities in the phenomenon of non-European migration. In the
third section, an attempt is made to analyse the role played in the
labour market by migrants from developing countries and to present
evidence of the expansion of the underground Italian economy." Comments

aggregate as a function of individual characteristics....Our results
support the link between social mobility and spatial mobility in that
Asian-origin groups translate their socioeconomic achievements into
residential assimilation. Contrary to some interpretations of standard
assimilation models, we find that duration of residence in the United
States does not have a particularly strong influence on residential
assimilation. The effect of immigrant status is overshadowed by that of
ethnic group membership, a factor that points to the diversity of
experiences and contexts of arrival for Asian
Americans."

Orlando, Florida. In Eng.
"Within the conceptual framework of the
Roy model, this paper provides an empirical analysis of internal
migration flows [in the United States] using data from the National
Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The theoretical approach highlights
regional differences in the returns to skills: regions that pay higher
returns to skills attract more skilled workers than regions that pay
lower returns. Our empirical results suggest that interstate
differences in the returns to skills are a major determinant of both
the size and skill composition of internal migration flows. Persons
whose skills are most mismatched with the reward structure offered by
their current state of residence are the persons most likely to leave
that state, and these persons tend to relocate in states which offer
higher rewards for their particular
skills."

modelling: local-level flows in Hereford and Worcester.
Environment and Planning A, Vol. 25, No. 9, Sep 1993. 1,279-93 pp.
London, England. In Eng.
Using data for the English county of
Hereford and Worcester, the author presents a method for the analysis
of migration at the local level "which does not disaggregate migrant
flows by distance criteria alone, but incorporates measures relating to
the nature of the origins and of the destinations." The author
suggests that "in comparison with a standard single-stream regression
model this method improves the fit substantially, and the variability
in the resulting parameter estimates for each of the eight streams
supports the need for identification of distinct migrant streams. In
particular, flows over short distances between wards with high
population densities are estimated more
effectively."

"A rarely utilized source of migration data from the 1981
[U.K.] Census is used to examine the mobility patterns of migrants
resident in different [housing] tenures within England and Wales at the
regional and county level. A Poisson regression approach is used to
compare the effects of distance on migration propensities for those
moving into owner-occupied housing, council housing and privately
rented housing. The existing literature suggests that migration should
be most restricted by distance for council tenants and least restricted
for private renters....Local variations in the effects of distance
decay on migration for each of the three migrant streams are examined.
Both a north-south and a metropolitan non-metropolitan migration divide
are clearly evident when migrant flows are disaggregated by tenure at
the destination."

study on internal migration in Poland from 1952 to 1985. "The main aims
of the study are: to describe spatial patterns of different types of
migration vis-a-vis national socioeconomic change on the basis of the
available unified statistical material...; to identify changes in the
intensity and range (distance) of those movements; [and] to propose a
hierarchical regionalization of permanent migration based on
inter-voivodship flows, using the Slater method, as well as to identify
the stage by the process of modernization of spatial mobility which has
been reached in Poland." Data are primarily from official sources,
including censuses and the current population register.

Laurent N. M. Status of women and rural-urban migration in
Benin: from decision to integration. [Statut de la femme et
migration urbaine dans le Golfe du Benin: de la decision a
l'insertion.] Cahiers Quebecois de Demographie, Vol. 21, No. 1, Spring
1992. 121-49 pp. Montreal, Canada. In Fre. with sum. in Eng; Spa.
Factors affecting the decision to migrate among women in countries
around the Gulf of Benin are examined. Using data for Togo, the author
notes that "rural-urban migration can be a component of women's status.
Women are now better educated, even in rural Africa, and better
integrated into the modern way of life, and it is likely that they will
be more and more engaged in rural to urban migration in the...future.
But...they need to be better skilled and/or have financial capital.
Therefore, instead of implementing policies to avoid migration, policy
makers must develop comprehensive strategies taking this migration
dimension into account, in order to improve women's
status."

1830-1980. Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Vol.
83, No. 3, Sep 1993. 389-405 pp. Washington, D.C. In Eng.
"Data
sets are provided that measure the volume of transnational urbanward
immigration and yield estimates of the contributions of transnational
migrants to urban growth for an expanding panel of countries from
1830-1980. Urbanward immigration is found to be cyclical, pulsating
with long-wave rhythmicity....The historical association of
transnational migration and urban growth is still to be seen in low-
and middle-income countries, but among higher-income countries,
transnational urbanward immigration now is inversely related to urban
growth: the countries with the lowest rates of urban growth are those
with the greatest foreign inflows, which speeds the globalization of
urban populations in the world's most developed
regions."

"The large demographic growth registered in the Chaco province [of
Argentina] at the beginning of this Century slowed down since the 1950s
as a result of the successive economic crisis undergone by this
province. The demographic response was the outmigration toward the
more developed areas of the country and to the capital city of Chaco. A
large share of Resistencia demographic growth is provided by this
internal migration. This rapid increase makes inadequate the
functional and the service structure of the
city."

This study concerns the role of ethnic associations in the
process of urbanization in India. These associations consist of
organizations created by migrants in urban areas on the basis of caste,
region of origin, language, or religion. "A model to analyse ethnic
associations in the Indian urban context has been provided and a
detailed examination of the changing role of ethnic associations made
from a historical perspective."

United States, Asia, and Africa. Genus, Vol. 48, No. 3-4, Jul-Dec
1992. 63-71 pp. Rome, Italy. In Eng. with sum. in Fre; Ita.
"The
purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the lifetime migration
patterns into the major cities of selected developed and developing
countries. This study was confined to cities in...the United States
and certain Asian and African countries with relevant published
data....This paper has shown that some lifetime population movements
were exceptionally high. Two-thirds of the residents of the major U.S.
cities in 1970 were born elsewhere. The major cities in sub-Saharan
Africa were second highest with 60 percent. Asian cities followed with
48 percent of their residents being lifetime migrants and the cities of
North Africa were lowest with less than a third. Finally, the native
population born and reared in most urban agglomerations will probably
comprise a larger percentage of the total population in those areas in
the future."
