This is an analysis of migration expectations and
information gathered from 142 men between the ages of 18 and 50 and
living in Bolgatanga, northern Ghana. The results indicate a
significant potential for migration, in that 72.5 percent of those
interviewed want to go and work in the large cities in the south of the
country, and 81.7 percent intend to eventually go abroad to work. The
existence of a growing network of family and friends for migrants
already located in developed countries is
noted.

University Microfilms International: Ann Arbor, Michigan. In Eng.
This study, prepared as a doctoral dissertation at Southern
Illinois University at Carbondale, "is an economic and statistical
analysis of family migration in Iran....Two principle concerns of this
study are to evaluate whether the labor force participation and
nonmarket activities of wives are dominant factors in family migration,
and whether the presence of strong ties to kinship group at the region
of birth is a salient factor in determining the probability of
household migration."

"The hypotheses, objectives, formulations and characteristics which
social scientists use in their research differ greatly, depending on
whether they are studying group or individual behavior. At the
aggregate level, they tend to use the overall characteristics of the
group to figure out its behavior. Conversely, at the individual level,
they focus on various elements of each person's biography. This
article attempts to link the results obtained at these two levels of
aggregation both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. It
uses data from a biographical survey which have been [analyzed] both
from the individual and the aggregate point of view, to study migration
behaviour." The data concern individuals aged 45-69 who were
interviewed in France in 1981.

regard the duration and the destination in their migration patterns.
Those differences are then analyzed according to family's subsistence
strategies and multi-level activity as well as the system of social

potential current wage, it raises the probability of birth near the

The characteristics of

in-migration stream to the inner city...in the 1960s does not fit the
gentrification model. Instead, groups of the new middle class were
attracted to the inner city where they replaced the elderly
middle-class households that were in the final stages of their life
cycles. Gentrification in the southern fringe of the inner city is
merely a by-product of the major process."

"Are migrants more productive workers than

correlation between unobservable factors at places of origin and
destination. A human capital model of migration demonstrates that more
productive workers at the origin would migrate only if the correlation
between origin and destination factors is strongly positive.
Longitudinal data from Cote d'Ivoire suggest that, indeed, the more
productive workers do migrate. Furthermore, people migrate generally
towards cities. Therefore, rural areas lose their productive workers;
urban areas may gain in productivity from the geographical shifts in
population."

This study analyzes
the large-scale migration of labor from Pakistan to the Middle East
during the 1970s and 1980s. Specifically, the author examines why this
migration happened and assesses its impact on Pakistan. He concludes
that "in Pakistan,...large-scale labour migration was followed by a
series of significant economic and political impacts, some of which had
the effect of subverting long accepted central government planning
priorities, diminishing the impact of official investment decisions,
undermining preferred modes of development and, on occasion, rendering
the central government almost irrelevant. Individuals, households, and
communities that had previously been only marginally involved in the
national economy participated in migration in a massive way. At the
same time, migration to the Middle East introduced an element of
informal, diffused decision-making that had heretofore been largely
absent. The unexpected result was that a government which first
accepted migration and then actively sought to promote it ultimately
found its own role as the prime mover and shaper of national
development diminished."

countries rather than from any specific country or region. The
development of Italian immigration policy in response to these changes

30 percent of Israeli-born Americans are Palestinian-Arab natives of
Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip. While the Jews are of higher
educational levels, hold better jobs and enjoy higher incomes than
their Arab counterparts, both groups have relatively high socioeconomic
characteristics. Both have high rates of self-employment, particularly
the Palestinian-Arabs, who appear to serve as middlemen minority in the
grocery store business in the cities where they reside. The fact that
nearly a third of Israeli-born immigrants are Arabs accounts for the
occupational diversity previously observed of Israelis in America but
does not account for their income diversity as much as does differences
between early and recent immigrants."

emigration from rural Mexico owing to NAFTA-related economic

reasons why Mexican emigration may not increase massively, despite
extensive restructuring and displacement from traditional
agriculture....NAFTA-related economic displacement in Mexico may yield
an initial wave of migration to test the U.S. labor market, but this
migration should soon diminish if the jobs that these migrants seek

that extreme positions on either side of the debate are unsupportable.
On balance, immigration has made modest positive contributions to the
economy, while social tensions created by immigration have also been
relatively modest. However, the trend towards accepting more refugees
and other immigrants selected for their non-economic attributes
suggests that future economic benefits will be smaller than in the
past. Moreover, problems with integrating new Canadians will be
greater given that they are less proficient in the official languages
than earlier generations of immigrants and also possess more limited
job skills."

"This paper first examines recent trends in international
migration in selected receiving countries....An argument is developed
that international migration has to be understood as an integral
component of growing interdependence among nations as a corollary of
other ties and exchanges between countries. Since the policy dynamics
underlying permanent and temporary immigration differ, as well as data
on those flows, trends in permanent and temporary migration countries
are discussed separately."

various socio-economic characteristics on the rate of outmigration of
the foreign-born from the Canadian population. The data sets used are
based on the microdata of the 1971 and 1981 censuses of population. It
is found that migrants with high school education have the highest
propensity to outmigrate, while those with less than high school
education have the lowest. The propensity to outmigrate is positively
related to the age of the migrant. Males tend to have a higher
propensity to outmigrate, while having a command of official languages
reduces the propensity to outmigrate."

"This article presents a theoretical analysis
of how the processes of industrialization and development interact with
international trade in goods or services to influence a country's

that trade in goods complements capital movements but substitutes for
labor movements, whereas trade in services and labor movements
complement each other. The proposed analytical framework suggests that
both international trade and migration may contribute to, but cannot
lead to, a development process that brings about a migration transition
in surplus labor economies."

paper is divided into two parts: the first is a brief consideration of
the concept of integration in demography; the second presents four
propositions which we believe characterize demo-political discourse at
the present time. In brief, these four propositions are: 1)
immigration today is unique in the history of Quebec; 2) immigration is
not a solution to apprehended demographic decline; 3) immigration is
linked to Quebec's capacity to receive new immigrants; and 4) the state
is the leader in policy matters. In conclusion, regarding the
'inclusion/exclusion' duality, we suggest that demo-political discourse
leans more heavily toward exclusion than toward
inclusion."

harmonization set in train by Eurostat several years ago, a method of
correcting defective migration data is proposed here, which makes use
of this double enumeration. The method is applied to available data in
a preliminary analysis. The correction factors presented here through

one respect: to illuminate substantial problems of incompatibility of

experience of emigration and immigration does not fit neatly into
models of migration transition. As a city-state with a small rural

factors have also played a key role in 'patterns' of migration, such as
restrictive immigration policies in receiving countries. Also
significant are individual considerations of political and economic
risk, as evidenced by the current rise in the emigration of skilled and
professional workers prior to the return of Hong Kong to China. The
author concludes that, rather than a simple turning point in labor
migration, there may be multiple turning points in a complex sequence

of African compared with European immigration....Moreover, as the

phenomenon. Though migration shifts have been significantly influenced
by political factors such as the Gulf crisis and tensions with Saudi
Arabia, economic factors such as the Thai government's liberalization
of markets and the expansion of trade and direct foreign investment
have contributed to changes in labor market needs. The economic
conditions of a shift from net exporter to net importer for labor are
posited in the model. The empirical results reveal a turning point in
labor migration from Thailand and also confirm the contribution of
commodity export in place of labor export in creating employment and
income."

however, the findings for Japan indicate that political factors have
been more determinative of the rate of migration than purely economic
ones. Prior to its turning point in 1960, international relations, war
and forced repatriation were the decisive factors. Recently, though
the inflow of foreign workers to fill labor shortages has increased, so
also has the outflow of Japanese to accompany direct foreign

The authors
examine trends in internal migration in France between 1954 and 1990.
After a period of increase (1954-1972), migratory flows began to slow
down. This decline leveled off somewhat between 1982 and 1990. "The
changes appear more striking and more complex when trends in net
movements within regions and a fortiori figures of in-migration and
out-migration are studied. In some regions it proved possible to
identify similarities in migration behaviour....Different patterns were
found in the Northern regions and the outer areas of the Paris region.
Finally, in a significant block in the Southern region, there was
marked synchronization of behaviour throughout the period from 1954 to
1990."

"So-called
'gravity' models have been used to analyze migration flows by
eliminating the influence of distance between areas and the size of the
populations studied. Applying such a model to French interregional
migration between 1982 and 1990 shows that the impact of distance is
greater for young people than for adults, and especially for retired
persons. Estimates based on indices of attraction and repulsion in the
various regions (calculated from residual data of the model) show some
significant trends during the periods 1975-1982 and
1982-1990....Analysis of 'residual flows' indicates preferred
directions and 'barrier effects' between
regions."

there being effectively open borders between them, the likelihood of
greater economic integration between the two countries, and evidence of
growing relationships between trans-Tasman, other international
migration and internal movements of people. Suggestions are made as to
which census methodologies and survey approaches might elicit responses
to at least some key questions pertaining to migration and its
structural, ethnic, class, gender and familial

search duration in the U.S. Rural-to-urban migrants (except for rural
Southerners) exhibit significantly lower search duration than other
groups, controlling for productivity-related characteristics and
postmove earnings. In addition, employment growth differences between
origin and destination are found to be better predictors of search
duration than are differences in average
earnings."

level in comparing migration across provinces, and at micro level in
terms of individual propensity to undertake various types of migration.
Compared to primary migrants, return migrants tend to be less educated
and less economically motivated. However, it is difficult to
distinguish returns due to disappointment from those involving a
planned life cycle strategy. Onward migrants are more educated than
primary migrants and they appear to be responding to a broader set of
factors which would imply a more careful consideration of
alternatives."

concentration of a relatively large number of others of the same
nativity affects intrastate and interstate migration choices of
immigrants. Nativity concentration can be viewed as a form of social
capital that affects immigrants' perceptions of their economic, social
and psychological wellbeing and thus influences their willingness to

Measures of neighborhood characteristics consistent with our
conceptualization are used to estimate the impact of context on
mobility thoughts and on actual mobility in a sample of Nashville
[Tennessee] residents. Although individual statuses such as age and
tenure remain important antecedents of mobility, subjective features of
neighborhood context also play a role--albeit limited and indirect--in
the decision to move or to stay."

economic bust of 1981-86. We found strong evidence that through both
boom and bust periods, both return and onward migrations were in the
'right' direction, in that they responded to economic variables in a
rational way. However, the large proportion of migrants choosing to
make a return migration indicates the importance of the province of
birth in the mental map of the potential migrants. We also found that
the selectivities in the migration behaviors with respect to certain
personal factors (especially education) remained basically the same
through both boom and bust periods."

"Since the 1980s, it has been

base by making use of its social networks to place members in a distant
community as migrant workers. Through a microstudy of 50 such migrants
in Kaiping County in the Pearl River Delta region, this article
illustrates the interplay between macro, meso, and micro factors in the
causes and processes of circulatory mobility in post-Mao China. It is
found that Hong Kong's search for cheap labor, the PRC's household
registration system, and Kaiping's strong localism provide the context
in which migrants and their households have to adjust. The particular
behavior pattern of these migrants also bears the stamp of their
rational household decision-making processes as well as their feelings
of moral obligation toward their kin in their community of

setting up 52 small communities with the appropriate infrastructures to

attracting the desired type of population...to the region, and the
newcomers viewed the new communities as their permanent homes. Based
on this experience and on the analysis of relevant literature, a
development strategy of tailor-made community planning is hereby
recommended for future projects. It is especially appropriate in the
context of developed countries with a slow to zero population growth
and with spreading social norms of the postindustrial
society."

policy with respect to treatment of co-nationals in the near abroad and
whether their return to Russia would have a positive or negative

evidence. CEPR Discussion Paper, No. 906, Feb 1994. 31 pp. Centre

"This
paper analyses the return intentions of migrant workers....The analysis
emphasizes three explanations of why it should be optimal to migrate
only temporarily: differences in relative prices in the host and home
country, the possibility of accumulating human capital abroad, which is
only earnings effective back home, and complementarities between
consumption and the environment where consumption takes place. Some
hypotheses implied by the theory are empirically tested, using micro
data on migrant workers in [West] Germany."

of returning New Zealanders. New Zealand Population Review, Vol.
19, No. 1-2, May-Nov 1993. 94-124 pp. Wellington, New Zealand. In Eng.
"Since the early 1980s return migration of New Zealanders has been
bringing back to the country over 20,000 citizens each year. However,
return migration is a process that has been largely ignored in the
literature on international migration to New Zealand. With the
assistance of the Immigration Service and Statistics New Zealand,
contact was established with a nation-wide group of New Zealanders who
returned in November 1990. This paper describes how the study was
conducted, and reports findings on the returnees and their
motives."

socioeconomic determinants of female rural to urban migration in
Sub-Saharan Africa. International Migration Review, Vol. 27, No.
3, Fall 1993. 557-77 pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"Data
from eight recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) in sub-Saharan
Africa are used to assess whether fertility, child mortality and other
individual-level characteristics motivate or constrain long-term female
migration from rural to urban and other rural areas. Findings indicate
that the likelihood of rural-urban and rural-rural migration is lowered
in most countries when the woman has had two or more recent births, but
not when she has had only one birth. Child mortality experience
moderately reduces the risk of migration in most countries. The
likelihood of rural-urban migration is greatly increased when the woman
has attended school, is not married, is in her twenties, or does not
belong to the largest ethnic group."

to the study of the population turnaround phenomenon: a case study of
the upper Midwest. Pub. Order No. DA9401236. 1993. 172 pp.
University Microfilms International: Ann Arbor, Michigan. In Eng.
In this study, prepared as a doctoral dissertation at Ohio State
University, the author argues that "the population turnaround [in the
United States] must be conceptualized as being a
spatio-temporo-hierarchical process and that any methodology designed
to identify the turnaround must integrate these dimensions. Such an
integrative methodology is developed through an application of the
Expansion Method. The model is tested on data for the urban system of
the Upper Midwest [for the period
1950-1990]."

migration of African Americans to 132 urban counties in the United
States....The results support the hypothesized influence of a
self-perpetuating 'migration momentum' on urban African American
migration....Results [also] supported the empirical significance of
network saturation...,the interaction of time and community
development." The study was prepared as a doctoral dissertation at the

John. Economic aspects of rural-urban migration. In:
Urbanization in Africa: a handbook, edited by James D. Tarver. 1994.
388-407 pp. Greenwood Press: Westport, Connecticut. In Eng.
The
economic causes of rural-urban migration in Sub-Saharan Africa are
explored. The author notes that the initial attraction for migrants
was the large gap in income between urban and rural areas. However, as
economic conditions changed in the 1970s, and monetary economies shrank
and cheap land supplies dried up, the complexity of migration to towns
increased. The author concludes that "by the 1990s African
rural-to-urban migration represented an irreversible process associated
with profound structural changes in towns and the
countryside."
