This is a review of literature on migration and
health. Topics covered include the psychological health of migrants
during the process of acculturation; the problems faced by rural-urban
migrants in settling into urban areas which are frequently unhealthy
and underdeveloped, international migration involving differences in
language and culture, rural migration, the use of health services by
migrants, refugee migration, and the relationship between migration and
the spread of sexually transmitted diseases including
AIDS.

Data from birth, marriage, and death registers in
nineteenth-century France are used to estimate migration probabilities
for members of different cohorts. The method proposed is also tested
on twentieth-century Belgian data. The results indicate that, under
certain conditions, it is possible to estimate the hazard functions of
migration using such data.

questions of residential movement to be addressed in a routine manner,
in much the same way that questions are used concerning, for example,

This
study addresses problems concerning the forecasting of net migration in
the preparation of population forecasts. "As the width of forecast
intervals for migration in single years differs strongly from that of
an interval for average migration during the forecast period, it is
important that the forecaster indicates which type of interval is
presented. A comparison of forecast intervals for net migration
obtained from an ARIMA model to intervals in official Dutch national
population forecasts shows that the uncertainty on migration has been
underestimated in past official forecasts."

The role of migration
in influencing convergence between regions at different levels of
economic development is analyzed using the example of Germany following
reunification, with particular reference to the impact of migration on
wages. "Several ways of regional wage formation are investigated,
among them a full employment wage mechanism as well as a fast regional
convergence of wages which is independent of productivity movements.
The conclusion is that the impact of wage mechanisms on the convergence
of per capita output is ambiguous. However social costs in terms of
unemployment are high in case of a wage adjustment which is regardless
of productivity growth."

in newly admitted Community member States, such as the United Kingdom
during the 1970s and, more recently, Greece, Portugal and Spain, the
numbers involved are small in relative terms. In contrast, the
enactment of freedom of movement provisions has not contributed to a
noticeable increase in the outflow of workers from the poorer to the

generating confidence intervals around estimates of intercensal net
migration, made using the life table survival method, that incorporate
estimates of census measurement errors. The life table survival method
applies a life table to a census count to project survivors at some
past or future time points. Net migration is then estimated as the
difference between the projected number of survivors and the enumerated
population at the time. Confidence intervals are based on mean square
error, the sum of the variance and squared bias. We assume that random
variation in the number of net migrants in an age-sex group is due to
random variation in mortality rates and to measurement errors in census
counts. The technique is illustrated with data from the United
States."

"This paper extends the traditional
theory of urban location to derive a consistent model of inter- and
intra-regional mobility. It demonstrates that the two are behaviorally
distinct. Workplace and residence relocations tend to be 'substitutes'
in intra-regional mobility but are 'complements' in inter-regional
mobility. Previous empirical papers have neglected the theoretical
foundations of intra-regional mobility. In consequence, they have made
four types of analytical compromises: defined 'migration' as any change
in residence location, used job changes as proxies for workplace
mobility, neglected commuting distances, and used estimation techniques
that do not reveal the underlying
behavior."

are that, despite gradual slowing down of labour flows to the western
industrial countries and the Middle East, labour migration will
continue to be a major economic influence on surplus-labour countries
in the region. As an integral part of the growth dynamism in the
region, labour migration has now begun to take on a regional dimension,
with immense implications for the process of industrial restructuring
in high growth economies and the changing pattern of economic

streams from Africa to France and their consequences for the
destination country. The author estimates that there are currently
about 300,000 immigrants of African origin in France. Three waves of
migration are identified: pre-independence migration, which consisted
mainly of manual workers moving to the major port cities; migration
from 1960 to 1975, primarily from the Senegal River valley region; and
a larger number of recent immigrants, some illegal, who consist mainly
of students, asylum seekers, and those joining family members who
migrated earlier. Social issues raised by certain migrant customs,
such as polygamy, and the problems faced by the children of immigrants,
are discussed.

This literature review concerns the impact of
immigration on the economy of the host country, focusing on the
experience of the United States. The emphasis is on the period from the
1970s to the 1990s. The author shows that research earlier in this
period generally concluded that the economic effects of immigration
were positive, but that more recent research on later migrations have
generally concluded that immigration may be having an adverse effect on
the earnings of native unskilled workers and be placing an increased
burden on welfare programs. The importance of such economic analysis
for the formulation of appropriate migration policies is
stressed.

this study exploits the variation in legal and illegal immigration
flows across seventy source countries to examine the sensitivity of
immigration flows to underlying source country characteristics. The
study finds that earnings in the source country and the distance from
the United States form significant deterrents of both legal and illegal
immigration flows. We also find that illegal immigration is more
sensitive to such factors than is legal immigration." The impact of
the North American Free Trade Agreement on U.S. immigration from Mexico

"The relation
between immigration and the economic welfare of residents is analyzed
for resource-rich economies (such as Australia) both under competitive
conditions and when various distortions are present. Immigration
provides efficiency gains for residents under distortion-free
competition for standard 'gains from trade' reasons. Such reasons,
however, tend to be ignored by immigration and 'optimal population'
theorists who raise the issue of restricting immigration without
explicitly referring to the distortions. In situations where
distortions and externalities are present, we argue that it is
generally preferable to devise policies which specifically target the
distortions than to restrict immigration."

novel, The Camp of the Saints, by Jean Raspail, which involves a mass
migration of poverty-stricken Indians from Calcutta to the French
Riviera. The authors identify the key global problem of the final
years of the twentieth century as the contrast between the developed
and developing countries, specifically "unbalanced wealth and
resources, unbalanced demographic trends, and the relationship between
the two." They consider the consequences of this growing imbalance "in
which the rich will have to fight and the poor will have to die if mass
migration is not to overwhelm us all."

"The link between immigration and unemployment among the
native workers of the host country is examined within a model which
distinguishes individuals in terms of their ability to perform services
in the labor market. An inflow of foreign workers is found to have an
ambiguous effect on the level of income received by the native factors
of production. This is in sharp contrast to the findings that
immigration improves welfare in a fully employed host country and that
it unambiguously lowers welfare in a minimum-wage economy with
homogeneous labor."

This paper examines the
relationship between U.S. migration policy and Mexican immigration to
the United States over the period 1942-1992. It uses data collected
from migrants in 17 Mexican communities concerning their first
migration to the United States. "The analysis reveals three patterns
of migration. The first large-scale flow of Mexicans occurred between
1942 and 1964, when many men migrated for agricultural employment under
a U.S.-sponsored temporary worker program. By the program's end, the
second phase of migration emerged. Former braceros who obtained legal
papers sponsored their relatives for entry, while others entered
illegally. The third pattern of migration began in the late 1970s, when
women migrated in large numbers without children, and the migration of
men and women who entered on a first trip without legal documents
soared." Comments are included from Thomas J. Espenshade (pp. 730-3)

applied to 1980 census microdata for New Jersey, a state that now ranks
fifth in the nation in the size of its foreign-born population. All
New Jersey households combined in 1980 imposed a net fiscal burden on
state government of more than U.S. $2.1 billion, and a net burden on
the aggregate of all local governments totaling nearly $690 million.
Both native- and immigrant-headed households received government
benefits worth more than they paid in taxes....There are larger
disparities among the foreign-born population than between
native-headed and immigrant-headed households....Our findings
illustrate the overriding importance of household income and number of
school-age children as determinants of taxes paid, benefits received
and, ultimately, of net fiscal impacts."

Journal of Social, Political and Economic Studies, Vol. 18, No. 4,

Some aspects of
past immigration to Canada are examined. The author notes that "many
young Canadians today believe that Canada has always been a
multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country. This is true only in so far
as it was formerly divided on fairly tight geographical lines between
French and British-derived populations, with a small minority of
American Indians and Inuit eskimoes. However, during the nineteenth
century and first decades of this century it was regarded as comprising
a nation of Caucasoids, or more precisely a nation of French and of
British settlers, willingly accepting only immigrants from Northwestern
Europe ethnically affiliated with those two main
groups."

of inclusion into the welfare state of different groups of immigrants.
This is illustrated for the Federal Republic of Germany by a comparison
between asylum seekers, newcomers who are entitled to asylum, migrant
workers and Aussiedler, that is immigrants of German origin from

clandestine migrants push the real figure above 1 million....Analysis
of residence permit data show that the immigrants come increasingly
from Third World, especially African, countries, and that there is a

new method corrects for underestimation and thus provides a more
accurate measure of the concept. Using data from six groups of the
1973 immigrant cohort and multiple decrement life table techniques, I
estimated and compared naturalization measures derived from new and old
methods. The results show that failure to control for emigration has a
significant effect on the measurement of naturalization, particularly
if an immigrant group has [a] relatively high rate of emigration. Some
further substantive implications of this new method are also
explored."

temporary and undocumented migrants biases the estimated effects of
human capital variables downward, but that selective emigration does
not significantly affect cross-sectional models. We do find, however,
that period of entry is a poor proxy for total migrant experience, and
when we disentangle duration and cohort effects, we find some evidence
for shifts in cohort quality over time, but not the systematic decline
seen by others."

well as current and future unemployment rates. Second, we present
evidence about transitory versus permanent effects of unemployment on
immigration in addition to performing tests based on relationships
estimated for every possible subsample as opposed to some ad hoc
subsample selection. Among the salient results of this study is that
current increases in the unemployment rate reduced future immigration
rates before 1978. After 1978, however, there is a positive
association between past immigration and current
unemployment."

1946 to 1958, involved a revival of earlier trends disrupted by the
Spanish Civil War and World War II. The second, beginning in 1959, was
marked by the development of economic problems in Latin America, which
caused a change toward Europe as a migrant destination. This ended in
recent times, as Spain changed from a country of emigration to one of
immigration.

Trends in immigration
to the United States since World War II are reviewed. The author notes
that "contemporary immigration to the United States and the formation
of new ethnic groups are the complex and unintended social consequences
of the expansion of the nation to its post-World War II position of
global hegemony. Immigrant communities in the United States today are
related to a history of American military, political, economic, and
cultural involvement and intervention in the sending countries,
especially in Asia and the Caribbean Basin, and to the linkages that
are formed in the process that open a variety of legal and illegal
migration pathways. The 19.8 million foreign-born persons counted in
the 1990 U.S. census formed the largest immigrant population in the
world, though in relative terms, only 7.9% of the U.S. population was
foreign-born, a lower proportion than earlier in this century....This
paper seeks to make sense of the new diversity. A typology of
contemporary immigrants is presented, and their patterns of settlement,
their distinctive social and economic characteristics compared to major
native-born racial-ethnic groups, and their different modes of
incorporation in--and consequences for--American society are
considered."

two different ways....The relative size of family reunification in
proportion to total immigration as well as the linkage to the business
cycle fluctuations is determined. Family reunification is analyzed
within the framework of a discrete hazard rate model....It turns out
that besides nation-specific differences, years since migration, years
since marriage, the degree of social integration in Germany, income and
unemployment status by the individual and in the economy, as well as
the family background are important determinants for the decision to
reunite the family."

This study examines the dynamics
of the international migration of women, focusing on female migration
to the economically developed societies of Europe and North America.
The author concludes that the work of immigrant women is becoming
important to the economies of developed countries, and particularly to
the functioning of their welfare systems. At the same time, the
development of economic independence, the accumulation of personal
resources, and emancipation from traditional family ties is leading to
an improvement in the status of individual migrant
women.

migration in Spain over the course of the 1980s is presented. The
focus is on the effect of regional economic factors on individual
migration decisions. Data are from official migration surveys
undertaken in 1987 and 1991. The main change noted was the conversion
of economically underdeveloped regions from areas of out-migration to
areas of in-migration, and a similar change in reverse for the more
developed regions. The importance of individual factors such as
marriage, educational choices, age, and job opportunities on migration
is noted.

"A Poisson regression approach is used
to model the out-migration from metropolitan districts in England and
Wales down the urban hierarchy using flow data extracted from the 1981
British Census. Particular attention is focused upon the
counter-urbanisation debate and an original classification of districts
is used to examine the extent to which migrants originating in
metropolitan origins choose peripheral destinations. The study also
distinguishes between origins and destinations in the north and south
of England and Wales. It is shown that the extent of population
decentralisation from metropolitan districts varies considerably
between inner and outer metropolitan areas, that migration down the
urban hierarchy is an important feature of population redistribution
and that flows into the periphery are primarily a southern phenomenon
emanating principally from outer London."

The author presents an approach to the

variability as a source of information in individual migration
decisions. "The focus...is on quantifying the effects of the origin
market acting through amenities and the share of market-specific wage
variability as it affects forecasts of alternative wages and forecast
precision. A subsample of employed males...from the [U.S.] National
Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLS) age 16 to 22 years is used for
estimation. The empirical results are consistent with the
theoretically predicted relationship between migration propensities and
regional differences in the information content of wages. In addition,
the results provide evidence that risk aversion deters migration given
uncertainty, measured by forecast precision, about alternative market
wage levels."

rates, but not relative unemployment and vacancy rates, are effective
in reallocating labour from regions experiencing adverse demand shocks.
We find little evidence that manual labour is migrating from those

plays a more conventional role in the regional adjustment process for
non-manual workers."

"Are immigrants who live
in states where large numbers of their compatriots reside more or less
likely to migrate than those who live in other states? Using 1980 U.S.
Census data to address that question, the analysis shows that nativity
concentration deters interstate migration but not migration within the
same state. Residing in a state where fellow nationals live is a more
important determinant of internal migration than human capital,
immigration status, or a state's unemployment rate. New York State
residence in 1975 also promotes interstate migration. This research
suggests that social dimensions should be taken into account in
modeling internal migration of the
foreign-born."

document that differences between remaining migrants and natives
contain bias caused by attrition due to repeat migration. Such bias is
small, however, and is unlikely to change migrant-native comparisons.
Unless one is concerned with details of differences between migrants

attrition bias in drawing conclusions from the observed differences."

"Current patterns and trends in forced migration are
increasingly a result of ethnic conflict, inequitable access to natural
resources, declining living conditions, and chronic and pervasive human
rights abuses. As a result of these overlapping causal factors and an
international trend towards tighter immigration and asylum policies,
many of those who have been forcibly uprooted, particularly those who
remain within their country, are without adequate protection and
assistance. This paper argues that legalistic distinctions between
'economic migrants' and 'political refugees' impedes multilateral
efforts to prevent an increase in all types of forced migrations. Such
efforts must focus on underlying conditions that prompt political and
socioeconomic instability."

The authors note that trends in natural increase in Poland are
becoming more uniform over time and that regional differences are
becoming less pronounced. Following the major migrations that followed
the end of World War II, the level of migration has declined, but
remains significant. They estimate that between 1971 and 1980, 10
million rural-urban migrants were added to the urban population.
Although this migration declined in importance after 1980, the major
cities continue to attract migrants while smaller towns decline and the
rural population ages.

"This paper attempts to develop a formal
model of interdependent decision making within the context of the
family with regard to migration and remittances. The migration process
is viewed as a deliberate strategy designed by the family for
maximizing its total welfare. The interrelationships between the
migrant and the rest of the family are modelled as a self-enforcing
co-operative game and the remittances are an a priori requirement for
the distribution of gains in an implicit co-insurance system. The
migration decision and the remittances are determined by the bargaining
strength of the migrant and the rest of the family, who act to promote
their own self-interest." The focus is on developing
countries.

Results of a survey of migrants to
the Bombay satellite town of Thane, India, carried out in 1989-1990,
are presented. The focus is on living conditions in the slums and the
characteristics of slum-dwellers, and on the reasons why people migrate
from rural areas to live in slum
conditions.

An
analysis of migration to Paris, France, during the first half of the
nineteenth century is presented using data from three main sources:
hospital admissions records, marriage acts, and registers of beggars.
The authors conclude that "immigrants constituted the majority of the
city's population at this time, just as they did in preceding and
following periods. The basin from which they were drawn can be clearly
defined and can also be shown to be widening from the early century
onward. Even if proportionally more immigrants encounter socioeconomic
difficulties than do native-born Parisians, we suggest that, on the
whole, their insertion into the urban economy and space was much less
difficult than elite contemporaries and scholars
have...believed."

Rural-urban migration in China since 1949
is examined. "This article has two aims. First, it will develop a new
method, using available aggregate data, to estimate the 'real' size of
Chinese urban population over the period 1949-90, and then derive urban
net migration during the same period. Secondly, with these estimates,
it will analyse the patterns of China's urbanization and migration in
the process of industrialization in both pre-reform and post-reform
periods."

Science, Centre for Economic Performance: London, England. In Eng.
Evidence is presented that there is a labor-shortage problem in
China due to insufficient rural-urban migration, and that people in
poor rural areas migrate less than people in rich rural areas. The
author suggests that migration "is regarded as an instrument of the
income portfolio of a household: facing high risks of food price
fluctuation, a geographically extended cooperative household which has
land and has out-migrants regards city jobs as high-risk high-income
opportunities, and regards agricultural production on its own land as
low-risk low-income opportunities....If poorer households are more risk
averse than rich households, then...a poor rural household will have
fewer rural-urban migrants than a richer rural household. An important
implication of this result is that the gap between the poor and rich is
widened when there are opportunities for rural laborers to migrate to
cities, and migration provides better chances to earn higher
incomes."
