Bulletin de Methodologie Sociologique, No. 39, Jun 1993. 45-58 pp.
Paris, France. In Eng. with sum. in Fre.
The importance of
migration as a biographic event within the life course is asserted,
using data for the former Federal Republic of Germany. "The migration
process can be described by...various factors like the frequency of
moves, the age when changing residence, the distance, the direction,
[and] the motives....Each change of residence has both a retrospective
and prospective aspect. Additionally, changes in other biographic
processes like marriage or births of children in the familial career or
changes in the occupational career directly influence migration
decisions. But there are also effects in the opposite direction: the
migration process can influence the further development of other
biographic processes. Thus, there exist a very complex structure of
strong interdependent relationships between the several biographic
careers."

"This paper analyzes [1990] U.S. census findings
to identify links between the race-selective redistribution pattern
across regions and metropolitan areas--and distribution shifts on two
socio-economic measures: poverty status, and education attainment. It
will address the following three questions: (1) Are distinct
geographic distribution patterns emerging by poverty status and
education attainment? (2) How are these linked to recent race and
ethnic demographic shifts? [and] (3) What is the role of immigration
versus internal migration in accounting for poverty population
shifts?"

The socioeconomic and environmental impact of migration and
diversification out of agriculture in developing countries is analyzed
using 1987 data concerning two Senegalese villages. The results
suggest that although out-migration can result in a substantial
increase in income for the village of origin, the social costs of the
concomitant increase in single-parent households can also be high.
Furthermore, the environmental impact of such changes is not always
positive.

This is
a collection of studies by various authors on the changing patterns of
migration in Europe following the collapse of Communism in Eastern
Europe and the former Soviet Union. The editor notes that "since the
collapse of Communism, population migration in Europe has greatly
increased both in volume and intensity. The influx of migrants from
the former Soviet bloc moving to the West for economic reasons has been
enhanced by refugees fleeing disruption and persecution. Southern
Europe, once a source of migrants has now become a receiving area. The
traditional and stable migration system of post-war Europe is
consequently fundamentally transformed and this book is the first major
work of scholarship to interpret and quantify the new patterns of
migration flows and their impact on both sending and receiving
regions....[The contributors] offer a broad analytical treatment of
this vital topic that will be of wide interest to anyone concerned with
the emerging social structure and human geography of the New
Europe."

The impact on the labor force of migration among the
republics of the former Soviet Union is analyzed. Migration streams
identified include the movement of ethnic Russians to Russia and of
other nationalities back to their respective republics, refugee
movements away from areas of conflict, and migration away from areas of
major environmental pollution. The consequences of these trends
include increased unemployment in Russia and shortages of skilled labor
in other republics. The growth of emigration, particularly of more
highly skilled migrants, is also noted.

around the age of retirement is an expression of the opportunities a

affluence and good health among young elderly people, and secondly, a
later period of poorer health, lower income and increased dependency.
The optimum locations for the two stages are described, and the effect
of migrations among elderly people [on redistribution of] the two age

Economics Institute: Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. In Eng.
An
assessment of the economic impact of current U.S. immigration policy is
presented. It focuses on the marginal socioeconomic costs and benefits
of current immigration trends. The author maintains that recent
large-scale immigration has serious negative labor market implications,
in that most current immigrants lack the human capital attributes that
are already in short supply in the domestic labor market. He suggests
that current U.S. migration policy acts against U.S. interests because
it does not encourage the highly skilled and discourage the unskilled
immigrant. The policies are particularly disadvantageous to the
low-wage, low-skilled resident labor force, which consists of a
disproportionate number of minorities, with whom immigrants compete for
jobs. The need to redesign immigration policy to meet the country's
economic needs is stressed.

"Migration between New Zealand and Australia has assumed
considerable significance for both countries during the past 25 years.
Commencing in the late 1960s, three major waves of net immigration from
New Zealand have seen Australia's New Zealand-born population increase
from 52,000 at the 1966 Census to 212,000 at the 1986 Census....This
paper aims to set these contemporary trends in historical context. So
strong has been the tide flowing towards Australia that it is easy to
imagine, erroneously, that it always flowed that way." Movements since
the early 1800s are examined. Aspects considered include major periods
of net migration, gender balance, short-term and permanent movement,
and size and composition of immigrant groups. The impact of changes in
migration policies over time is analyzed.

the nature of the movements and why they take place. It goes on to
analyse the effects on countries as different as Britain and the
U.S.A., Australia and Germany, Canada and France. The book shows why
migration almost always leads to formation of ethnic minorities, and
how growing ethnic diversity is affecting economies, cultures and
political institutions." The political impact of immigration on
recipient countries is also analyzed, including the rise of
extreme-right parties and the immigrant
response.

therefore, Taiwan's manpower loss in the short run is not as serious as

Analysis of recently collected data in Toronto, Ontario and in a
medium-size U.S. community facilitated the examination of the
adaptation and adjustment experiences of a new group of immigrants to
North America. This article begins with a discussion of the origins of
this recent immigrant group and its rapid expansion. Next, it focuses
on the labor force activities of Brazilian immigrants and compares and
contrasts their experiences in the United States and Canada. A final
section examines social adaptation in North America by exploring
linguistic and cultural dimensions. This article closes with a section
on the future aspirations of these
immigrants."

International migration to Paris and the Ile-de-France (Greater
Paris) region is discussed using data for the period since 1975. The
author notes that "in 1990, 38% of foreigners living in France dwell in
Ile-de-France. Since 1975, it has been the sole region to have
registered a greater proportion of
immigrants."

develops two two-country overlapping-generations models--one with and
one without an immobile factor--to study temporary and permanent
migration. Temporary migration is shown to be equivalent to
international lending and borrowing. One strong result found in the
literature that if natives of each country are homogenous permanent
migration leads to the migration of the entire population of the
[sending] country in the long run is overturned. Welfare effects of
migration are analyzed."

A review of international
migration trends affecting Japan is presented, focusing on the period
since World War II. The author notes that there is currently a
national labor shortage, particularly of unskilled labor. This creates
an economic demand for immigration, although the Japanese generally
believe their country is too densely populated, and are opposed to
increased immigration. An attempt is made to forecast future trends in
the foreign population of the country. Comments are included by
Shigemochi Hirashima (pp. 49-50) and Young-bum Park (pp.

both sending and receiving countries and that the structural
adjustments to deal with the internal and external imbalances have
involved increasing regionalisation of labour markets....The first
section of the paper describes Asian migration trends and patterns in

the dynamic processes linking Asian countries in growing systems of
exchanges and interdependencies. By examining the underlying forces,
the paper also provides an indication of the likely migration pressures

New methods of analyzing the
impact of migration on regions of origin are explored using data
collected in 1982-1983 from four communities in the Mexican states of
Michoacan and Jalisco. "Representative samples of Mexican migrants
from four sending communities are used to estimate a theoretical model
that controls for a variety of individual, family, and trip
characteristics; other stages of the analysis also control for sample
selectivity. The findings suggest that migrant decision-making is
strongly and consistently determined by social capital and community
membership, with other variables playing ancillary roles in different
decision processes. The propensities to save, remit, and invest
productively generally rose as ties to the United States increased, and
were generally higher in communities with well-developed local
economies."

"This study examines whether or not the likelihood of Puerto Rican
workers choosing to migrate to the United States depends on their
occupations or skills. The study determined that the occupational
composition among those migrating from the island to the United States
generally corresponds to the occupational distribution in Puerto Rico.
The exception is that, after controlling for labor market conditions in
Puerto Rico and in the United States and for other characteristics of
the migrants, farm workers, laborers, and craft and kindred workers are
overrepresented in the flow of migrants. The two most important factors
contributing to the occupational distribution of migrants are whether
or not they already have job offers in the United States and whether
they are currently employed in Puerto
Rico."

"This paper addresses issues of elderly immigrants in Canada within
two areas: their characteristics as immigrants and their contribution
to the social phenomenon of the aging of the Canadian population. The
patterns of net immigration of persons aged 60 years and over are
identified according to sex, age and place of origin of
immigrants....Emigration of this group is studied separately. The
results of the analysis demonstrate that the elderly immigrant
population displays migration patterns significantly different from
that of the total immigrant population. Older immigrants participate
even more extensively than their younger counterparts in the process of
remigration or return migration. As a consequence, an increase of the
proportion of older immigrants...does not necessarily accelerate the
aging of the Canadian population."

This is a collection of seven papers by
various authors on aspects of migration from elsewhere in the Americas
to the United States and U.S. policy reactions to that migration. The
studies are primarily concerned with the links between migration and
the relations among states, and the basic aim is "to examine the role
that United States foreign policy may have played, since 1960, in
shaping U.S. immigration policy toward Cuba, the Dominican Republic,
Haiti, Mexico, El Salvador, and Nicaragua." The studies conclude that,
with the exception of Mexico, U.S. foreign policy priorities strongly
influenced U.S. policies on migration from those
countries.

"This study deals with the
circulatory migration between a Mexican town with a high migration rate
and one of its four main receiving towns in the United States. The
structuring of the migratory flow between the two towns is taken as the
general anthropological problem, and this circulatory flow also is
viewed as a case in point demonstrating the main features of the larger
flow between Mexico and the United States." The data are primarily
from fieldwork carried out in 1987 and 1988. The author argues that
"the historical processes that gave rise to the periphery-core
relationship of Mexico to the United States, and to circulatory labor
migration between the two nations, show no signs of being
reversed."

"The
primary purpose of this book is to pull together in one place the main
contours of population change in the Atlantic region during the
1870-1914 period. That region, for present purposes, includes Europe,
North America, South America, and to a slight degree Africa. All of
the societies of the region experienced natural demographic growth,
that is, more births than deaths, but at widely varying rates. They
also experienced change through migration, some as donors of people,
others as receivers, and a few as both." Part I examines the Atlantic
region and its population dynamics. Part II concerns the European
donors to transatlantic migration flows, broken down by country. Part
III covers the major receiving nations. Emphasis is given to return
migration flows throughout.

flows are that they involve a much larger number of states, both as
sending and as receiving countries. Secondly the majority of the
migrant workers tend to hold secondary labour market jobs or to work in
the informal sector. These two aspects make today's international
migrations very different from the intraeuropean migratory waves that
concerned a much lower number of countries and were directed towards
industrial areas."

national diversity and of their impact on socio-cultural,
socio-demographic, and economic changes in Los Angeles....It has been
argued that immigrants from Latin America and Asia were attracted by
the restructuring of the Los Angeles economy and, in turn, reinforced
this restructuring....Another argument is that immigrants who come with
little financial or human capital are attracted by the low-skill and
low-wage sector of the Los Angeles economy and contribute to its
growth....A brief description will be presented regarding the 1980-1990
population growth of the Los Angeles metropolitan region as compared to

community structures have been mainly associated with the early phase

disappear in the course of the 'acculturation' process. In this
article, we argue that these structures exist during a different phase
in immigrant settlement and that they are a response to needs that
extend beyond the phase of pure 'adaptation' to the host society. We
attempt to support this argument through the analysis of residential
stability of foreign immigrants [in Paris], used as an indicator of a
settling process."

(PLM) Survey data, this paper attempts to develop a model of internal

three types of variables have been identified as the possible
determinants of migration. These variables relate to the possession of
human capital, commitment to job and place of residence, and
cost-related factors. After controlling for other variables, it was
observed that, in general, migrants were selective especially in terms
of age, education, and choice of occupation. These findings are
consistent with the evidence from other developing
countries."

Men migrate a little more often than do women, couples more than
families living with (adult) children. The probability of migrating
also varies according to residence (more in the town centre than in the
suburbs), and this is mainly due to extra-metropolitan
migration."

first U.K. studies to seek to determine the residential decision-making
process of elderly people, through [a] survey of their motivations and
migration outcomes. The study found that although a high proportion of
older age groups expressed an intention to stay put, far fewer than in
younger age groups were willing to rule out the necessity of a future
move. The results indicate a preponderance of housing preferences,
social and family support networks over conventional notions of
locational amenity and convenience as motivations for residential
adjustment in later life."

Data from the 1990 U.S. census are used to
evaluate migration trends within the United States, and particularly
the trend for minority immigrants to concentrate in a small number of
states and for whites to move away from immigrant-dominated areas. The
author concludes that "the continuation of these processes--a
minority-dominated immigration coupled with an internal migration
'white flight'--could lead to sharply divergent race and
socio-demographic structures across broad regions and

analysis shows that the basic processes underlying elderly migration
are also at work in the Netherlands. Due to the specific social and

and a very dispersed pattern of recreational and housing amenities, the
processes do not lead to the common age-specificity and geographical

one, that is to the return migration flow toward Quebec. Due to this

An analysis of migration trends among the rural elderly in
the United States is presented. Three migration streams are identified,
and their different demographic impact considered. They are the
movement of retirees to specific rural locations in response to the
development of planned retirement communities, the drift of the most
frail elderly from rural areas to larger communities, and the flow of
retirees back to their regions of origin.

"This study
examines the extent to which internal migration among recent immigrants
to Canada is affected and constrained by characteristics related to
admission. By examining measures of information and personal ties, it
may be possible to establish that migration behavior is rational
regardless of economic incentives." It is suggested that "internal
migration in the first year after arrival is strongly affected by
characteristics such as admission status, destination at arrival,
reason for immigration, and area of origin. With increasing length of
residence in Canada, though, the effect of these admission factors on
internal migration behavior diminishes."

The authors examine migration trends among the elderly in
Stockholm, Sweden. "It is shown that migration frequencies are higher
in the age group around 65, which is the formal retirement age in
Sweden, and that the flow is going from Stockholm to less populated
areas and small towns. Some former immigrants to the area will migrate
back to the regions where they grew up and spent their formative years.
To a larger extent pensioners will migrate to regions depicted as
attractive....It is shown that spatial mobility among pensioners has
not increased over the last century. In general migration rates were
somewhat higher a century ago with the exception of the rates for
native born Stockholmers."

significant, but small, determinant of interregional migration....Since
interindustry mobility is much larger in magnitude than interregional

adverse effect of immigrants on job opportunities for natives continues
to influence debate about immigration policy in the United States.
Many studies have examined wage and employment outcomes; by contrast,
we examine internal migration. We ask whether or not natives are more
likely to depart from or less likely to move to metropolitan areas with
high concentrations of immigrants. After controlling for other
influences on migration, we find that metropolitan areas with higher
concentrations of immigrants have only slightly lower rates of
inmigration of natives. Such metropolitan areas also exhibit slightly
lower rates of outmigration, contrary to expectation. These results
suggest that the effect of immigrants on labor market redistribution of
natives is modest."

"This paper discusses...the impact of land ownership
on the transmigrant farmer's participation in new land development for
irrigated paddy fields, taking Lampung Province (the pioneer settlement
of the transmigration programme) as the specific area of reference.
Special attention is focused on the case of the Way Rarem Irrigation
Project in the northern part of Lampung, Southern Sumatra....There is
no evidence in this analysis to support the hypothesis that the income
level of the farmer contributes to the progress of land development.
The ethnicity or province of origin is also insignificant in its effect
on land development. Similarly, transmigration status does not show
any significant relation to land
development."

"The purpose of this paper is to analyse the main characteristics
of the reintegration process of Chilean exiles returning to their
country: the voluntary repatriation process of those who left Chile in
1973 when a military coup overthrew the democratically elected
government, and who began to return to Chile in 1978, especially after
1990 with the re-establishment of democracy. Data have been obtained
from secondary sources (publications, working papers, institutional
documents), official publications provided by governmental agencies,
and informal interviews with professionals assisting the returned
population. The research was undertaken in situ in Santiago, Chile,
during May and June 1992."

"A discussion of historic cases of ethnocentric
state ideology and population transfer is presented here, followed by
consideration of the development of state ideologies that underlie
examples of three contemporary states in which population transfer has
emerged as policy. These cases then lead to an assessment of
population transfer under existing international law, and conclude with
a call for further inquiry into specific cases with a view to further
developing international law to prevent and redress population
transfers and their destructive consequences."

"The Soviet Union [in
1991] is facing a deep crisis comparable in scale and effect to that of
1917....This article examines one of its many consequences--the
production of refugees inside and outside the USSR....Two issues will
be addressed here. First, an analysis of factors producing refugees is
placed in the context of the current political and economic situation
in specific geographic regions of the USSR. Second, predictions are
made about the scale of the refugee movement from specific areas and
from the country as a whole. These predictions are related to various
scenarios describing the interaction of major political forces in the
country."

Mexico to work in the United States as temporary migrants. The focus
is on how this program was administered and developed over time by the
U.S. Immigration and Naturalization

"This
study documents the recent development and expansion of temporary
inter-regional labor migration in central-west Brazil. Several
explanations for the expansion of this movement are investigated,
including the financial crises that have affected Brazil's recent
social and economic development. Temporary and permanent movement
typologies are also examined in an attempt to discern why this region
is now characterized by temporary rather than permanent moves. I
suggest that permanent moves occurred primarily as a response to
structural changes, while temporary movement resulted at least
partially because of the country's recent economic crises. Examination
of the consequences of this movement (for example, remittance usage)
indicates that this temporary migration is more of a survival plan than
a mobility strategy."

the expected duration of stay for the latter is differentiated in

for household heads on the first six waves of the German Socio-Economic
Panel taking advantage of the panel structure of our data base to

The author
analyzes the cross-border movement of labor migrants in Germany. The
impact of increased integration among European Community countries is
considered, and the pressure of migration from neighboring Eastern
European countries is discussed. "Employment of workers from border
regions [provides the] possibility of meeting the labour demand in the
region, of alleviating the pressure to migrate by legalizing inflows
and of balancing the interests of employers and cross-border workers,
thus avoiding some of the negative side-effects or social costs of
traditional labour migration."

"This paper analyzes the implications of an
exogenous shift in relative prices for an economy that suffers from
urban unemployment, as well as uncertainty in the agricultural sector.
Among other things, we show that with agricultural uncertainty, an
exogenous shift in relative prices will lower agricultural profit.
This result is in sharp contrast with the conventional case of
risk-neutrality or certainty where agricultural profit is unaffected by
changes in the terms of trade." The consequences for rural-urban
migration in developing countries are
implied.

a review of the theoretical literature on rural-urban migration in
contemporary LDCs [less developed countries]. The paper begins with a
brief discussion of the Lewis model before going on to discuss the
Todaro and the Harris-Todaro models and the large literature which
these models have spawned. The question of job search in the context
of migration and the role of family members in migration decisions are
considered next. The paper then takes a closer look at the Informal
sector and also sets out alternative migration functions to the ones
usually employed in the literature."

The role of
small and medium-sized towns in the migration patterns of Morocco is
examined using data from the 1982 census and a 1990 survey. The report
suggests that these towns are playing an increasingly important role in
the process of rural-urban migration that continues to dominate the
migration scene, and that an increasing number of rural migrants are
taking up residence in small or medium-sized towns rather than moving
on to major urban centers.

"The present
study considers the effects of altruism between generations on
migration decisions. Observed rural-urban migration in spite of high
unemployment rates and lower-expected income of the migrant arriving in
the urban area is explained as a result of rational choice that
maximises dynastic utility. The adaptability of a dynastic model with
altruism is examined and the comparability of altruism between
different countries is analysed with data from [South] Korea and the
U.S."

"This paper
uses a dynastic model to analyse rural-urban migration in response to
high unemployment rates and low expected income. Of special interest is
the relatively high mobility of young generations. The model is able
to explain why some migrants move to an area where their expected
incomes are lower. Application of the model reveals different dynastic
utilities between generations, which lead to conflicts between
generations on migration decision and results in the higher mobility of
the young generation."
