"Migratory behaviours of individuals, described
by mobility level and distances covered, vary strongly with age and
according to historical background. In fact, such variation with age
is the expression of more complex relations between mobility and family
or professional life-cycle. Individual and longitudinal data produced
by surveys as the INED's 'Triple Biographie' survey [in France] allow
us to give prominence to these
interactions."

The author suggests that the main factors influencing
current global migration trends are the differences between the rich
and demographically stagnant developed countries and the developing
world, which is experiencing both poverty and rapid population growth.
"In this paper, the author provides a demographic interpretation of the
above phenomenon, stressing that the different degree of population
growth, being interpreted as a demographic transition, has contributed,
is contributing and will contribute, at least in the near future, to
determine such migratory flows and, consequently, a progressive
dissemination of third-country nationals in EC member
countries."

London, England. In Eng.
The links between migration and economic
growth are explored in the context of southern Europe over the period
1962-1988. The authors argue that an increase in wages in poor sending
countries will have a positive impact in the propensity to migrate,
whereas the same increase in receiving countries will tend to decrease
migration. "We predict, therefore, a steady decline in the propensity
to migrate from South European countries. Similarly, our results
highlight the possibility that the pressure to migrate from North
African countries and other developing countries may increase with
further growth."

"Recent censuses have shown that fertility rates are declining in
high fertility Melanesian countries such as Vanuatu and Solomon
Islands. However, the population will continue to grow for some time,
especially the youth cohorts. This 'youth boom' is of considerable
concern at a time when pressure on educational and other services is
already high, and when potential new entrants in the wage labour force
far outnumber the new jobs available. The young, especially males, have
always had a high level of involvement in population circulation, and
this process is likely to concentrate potential problems in urban areas
in the future. This paper considers the relationship between
population and mobility in the countries of Island Melanesia: Solomon
Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia."

relatively time-saving, in the sense that they have a lower time

time saving regions and housing costs in those regions will rise as
real GDP grows." The implied geographical focus is on the United

between the United States and Mexico, the size of the Mexican
young-adult population, and implementation of the 1986 Immigration
Reform and Control Act. An alternative model relates the magnitude of
undocumented migration to lagged monthly values of estimated
apprehension probabilities, on the assumption that migrants form
expectations about the apprehension risks they will face on the basis
of experiences of other recent undocumented migrants. The study shows
not only that both models have some explanatory power, but also that
the influence of perceived risks of apprehension all but disappears
when both sets of predictor variables are combined into a single
model."

"International skilled migration has been identified as an

place within firms operating in Europe, specifically of French firms
with capital investments within the U.K. Using a channel approach, and
focussing on movements of French skilled labour within the internal
labour market of the firm, it is shown that the scale of such transfers
varies between different types of enterprise. Several explanations are
offered, some of which suggest that alternative methodological
approaches to the channel framework may be necessary in order to
understand the incidence of such international
transfers."

Some of the problems associated with recent immigration in France
are discussed. The author notes that immigration has brought
populations of different nationalities closely into contact with each
other, because some immigrant groups tend not to assimilate and to live
in distinct locations, and family reunification has transformed
temporary labor migration into permanent settlement. Immigration has
thus developed into a geopolitical issue in
France.

and Oaxaca have...migrated to the United States. The article describes
the patterns of migration in a Mixteco community of Oaxaca, where 90%
of the men and a growing number of women migrate once a year to the
United States for illegal seasonal work. The analysis of the causes
and effects of migration focuses on the non-economic aspects of this
phenomenon and emphasizes the ideological and social motives for
migrating, especially those related to ethnic identity and to the
establishment of indigenous communities in the Mexican
Nation-State."

This is the third and final volume in a series concerning Asian
labor migration to the Arab world. "The central issue in the present
study is the impact of labour migration at the household level. To
assess household impact and determine the factors contributing to the
success or failure of the household in coping with migration, in-depth,
open-ended interviews were conducted with approximately 50 households
in each of the 7 countries [Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka,
Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand]. The success or failure of
migration was evaluated against such criteria as (1) economic
performance, (2) quality of life, (3) family adjustment, (4)
intra-family relations, and (5) community relations."

This study examines immigration to the United States from
Asia, and the influence of changes in immigration policies on the
demographic characteristics of this immigrant population. The focus is
on six communities: Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese,
and Asian Indians. Particular attention is given to the impact of the
changes in U.S. immigration law adopted in 1965, and to how Asian
Americans have adapted to life in the United
States.

"This article
examines alternative methods to measure the status of
'second-generation immigrants' with data from the 1990 [U.S.] Census of
Population. The first method tests the assumption that the
cross-classification of ethnic and race data with nativity can identify
the native-born children of the new immigrants from Asia and Latin
America....The second method is to examine the status of immigrants who
arrived in the United States as children....This second method is
illustrated with a comparison of the school enrollment rates of
teenagers and the marriage patterns and the nonmarital fertility of
young adults across more than 40 country-of-origin populations....This
preliminary analysis shifts the analytical question from
intergenerational change to the impact of 'becoming American' (length
of exposure to American society). Although there is support for
assimilation theory that predicts social and economic gains with longer
exposure to American society, there is also substantial variation by
country of origin and the type of socioeconomic
outcome."

The ways in which modern,
economically advanced democracies are coping with increased levels of
ethnic diversity and the presence of a significant immigrant population
are explored. The emphasis is on how a democracy deals with members of
society it does not view as citizens, and the role of immigrants in the
politics of that society. The study focuses on the situation in France
and Switzerland, and on how immigrant populations in those two
countries "have supported a vibrant autonomous political life to
fulfill their emotional, social, and welfare needs. And in contrast to
the earlier, absorbed waves of immigrants, these more recent arrivals
have given rise to an identifiable 'second generation' with its own,
often quite different political demands and organizational
traits."

Eng. with sum. in Fre; Spa.
The author briefly discusses debate on
the question of "whether international migration is essentially
'supply-determined' or 'demand-determined'....In general, the supply
school holds that there are any number of migrants willing to move
(usually from poor to rich countries) irrespective of demand conditions
in their destination countries, whereas the demand school claims that
migration actually emerges out of specific demand conditions in
prospective immigration countries....By explicitly applying economic
concepts of supply and demand to migration analysis--restricting
attention to the situation in receiving countries--migration can rarely
be called supply--or demand--determined alone, but will usually depend
on the interaction of these forces."

The author first develops the concept of migration pressure, which
is defined as the growth in the number of people wishing to migrate and
the barriers preventing them from so doing. Both macro- and
micro-level factors affecting migration pressure are identified.
Historical trends in migration pressure in Finland are then discussed.
The author then applies this concept to the analysis of current Finnish
migration trends. The primary focus is on international
migration.

Mexico, whose unique relationship to the United States may make it
unrepresentative of broader patterns and trends in migration. After

presented at three workshops, held at the University of Leiden, the
Netherlands, in April 1993, which concerned the interrelationship
between the social and political consequences of international
migration in Western Europe. A primary theme is the conflict between
the economic need of European countries for immigrant labor and the
growing political opposition to immigration and antagonism toward
immigrant communities in many countries. The contributors also
consider the implications of the move, toward closer union among the
countries of the European Community and of proposals to expand the
membership of the Community. The work includes both general studies
and case studies of specific countries.

"This analysis places recent interest in East/West
migration in a historical perspective. It argues that East/West
migration to Britain is not a new phenomenon: Russian Jews arrived at
the turn of the twentieth century and members of the Polish Armed
Forces and Displaced Persons in the mid-to late 1940s. Official
responses to these refugee movements varied as did the ideological
representations of the incomers. In particular, prevailing political
and economic considerations as well as 'race-thinking' informed
official responses. Current British policy towards refugees from
former Yugoslavia reinforces the argument that refugee status is
socially determined, rather than inherent in a particular set of
circumstances."

corporate and state reactions to these flows on the competitive
position of Pacific Asia in the world economy." Separate consideration
is given to the migration of unskilled and skilled labor. One of the
study's conclusions is that "unskilled labour migration will not
recede, and is likely to create new tensions within the receiving
countries as well as between them and the sending countries, but it
will also extend the competitive life of many labour-intensive
industries in labour-importing countries."

"Since 1985, three influential studies on the
economic effects of immigration have been based on the ORANI model of
the Australian economy. The results have generally been interpreted as
showing that the economic effects of immigration are favourable.
Critics of the use of ORANI...argue that the model's results are too
dependent on assumptions either built into the model or imposed on it
for particular experiments. In this paper, the [three] studies are
examined with special attention to the influence of critical
assumptions."

"In the Oceanian context,
just as everywhere, international migrations depend on legal and
macroeconomic factors, such as the wage differential between the
sending and the receiving country. But there is also a microeconomic
aspect: it is necessary to explain why emigrants send home remittances
permanently, and why only some members of the family emigrate. A
standard microeconomic model fails to explain this....[Our model]
maximizes a family utility function, not an individual one.
Furthermore, the utility function depends not only on material welfare,
but also on 'socio-cultural' welfare, or the 'quality of life', which
in turn depends on two variables: the amount of leisure, and the
cultural environment (occidental, or Oceanian), where the leisure is
spent."

"This paper is an analysis of the way in which the
changes in the labour market and in the occupational structure in
Europe affect the situation and the role of Third World migrants."
Changes in European labor migration patterns since the 1960s are first
analyzed. The author notes that "intra-European migrations were
industrial migrations because manufacturing and building industries
were the most important and growing economic activities....Present-day
migrations are postindustrial migrations. Immigrants work mostly in
service activities and not infrequently in the informal economy. In any
case migrant workers are located in the secondary labour market. The
picture is made more complex by the fact than many immigrants are
alegal or illegal because of the restrictive immigration policies in
European countries."

"The net migration gains of Pacific
Islands-born to Australia increased steeply from 1986, mostly due to
migration from Fiji in 1987-1988 after the coups. This is reflected in
the differing migration trends and characteristics of the Fiji-born
compared to other Islander migrants. Australia also receives secondary
migrants from New Zealand, facilitated by the free movement of
residents allowed by the Trans-Tasman Agreement. Due to poor job
opportunities in the Islands and economic restructuring in the
countries of the Pacific rim, Island states seem to have adopted a
policy of increased brain drain to ensure remittances flows. This
could also be related to changing fertility rates in the Islands in the
1980s."

in the South Pacific is mainly linked with ex-colonies. From 1980,
patterns of migration have changed due to economic recession and
restrictive migration policies. People more often migrate to
Australia, directly from island countries or via New Zealand, or to
smaller migration countries like American Samoa. A few Polynesian
populations count less people in the islands than in migration
countries. Migration from Melanesia remains small....Expensive living
conditions hinder agricultural production and development of [the]
secondary sector, but do not prevent brain

immigration have been significant. Generally speaking, Asian
immigrants have adapted and integrated well. Yet access to Canadian

"In terms of trade and capital flows, the Middle
East is one of the least economically integrated regions of the world.
The major exception is labor mobility, where intraregional migration
flows are extensive. The explanation for this pattern lies in the
extreme differences in factor endowments across the region and
development policies adopted by both labor-importing and exporting
countries. Because the obstacles to trade in goods have been greater
than the obstacles to migration, labor mobility and its associated
capital flows have been the most important mechanism through which the
benefits of the oil windfall have been spread to the poorer states of
the region. There is evidence that incomes across the Middle East have
become more equal."

This is a
study of the immigration question in modern France. "By situating
recent developments in France in the context of a historical
perspective on the modern nation-state, it attempts to show how
questions of immigration and racism highlight the problematic and
ambivalent nature of the nation form. The ambivalence of the discourse
of nation traverses social relations and runs, like a fault-line,
across right- and left-wing politics, and across the state and civil
society." The focus of the study is on the period from the late 1960s
to the early 1990s. The author examines such issues as assimilation,
the acquisition of French citizenship by immigrants, and the
implications of the role of France in the European
Community.

characteristic effects, the reactions it provokes and the policies it
requires. He addresses such hotly debated questions as defending
national borders, assimilation versus cultural autonomy, and exclusion
of migrants. The book is organized in two parts. Part I paints the
global picture, starting with the slave trade and indentured labour and
examining why people move today, as well as the costs and benefits of
migration. Topics such as naturalization, the role of religion,
attracting entrepreneurs into a country, and illegal migration are
explored. Part II examines the recent experience of some 20 countries
and several regions of the world--North America, Eastern and Western
Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, the Gulf
States and Asia. The text is illustrated with numerous charts and
statistical tables, including a comprehensive 'global economic

International migration from the Caribbean is analyzed using data
from surveys and in-depth interviews carried out in Jamaica, Barbados,
and Saint Vincent. The author suggests that Caribbean migration is
"fundamentally circular and self-perpetuating" and has become
institutionalized in Caribbean societies. "Migration behaviour is a
response to Caribbean circumstances and is an intrinsic part of the
formation of the image of self and the life chances of the individual.
This image, conditioned by the particular location of the individual in
relation to the national and international system, is the key element
in explaining the complex interplay of global, societal and personal
factors resulting in the propensity to move and in the actual move
itself."

xvi, 229 pp. Praeger: Westport, Connecticut/London, England. In Eng.
This study examines why countries of origin differ substantially in
the number of legal permanent migrants sent to the United States since
1965, even though the discriminatory national origin quota system was
abolished in that year. Data are primarily from the computerized
records of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and the
Public Use Microdata Sample from the 1980 U.S. census. Post-1965
immigration trends to the United States are first described and
cross-national variations identified. The major theories concerning
the structural determinants of immigration are then reviewed and a
revised theoretical approach proposed. Next, data availability and
analytical strategies are discussed. Finally, the empirical results of
the analysis of the structural determinants of cross-national
differences in the size of U.S. immigration are presented using data
for 137 sending countries. The author argues that "cross-national
differences in the size of post-1965 immigration to the United States
can be explained by cross-country differences in the level of the
source countries' development, the degree of U.S. involvement...,the
amount of potential immigrants' migration resources, and the extent of
permissiveness of sending countries' emigration
policy...."

and regional remainders within England and Wales using 1981 Census
data. Observed flows were analysed in terms of the north-south
migration divide and counterurbanization, and were compared to
estimates derived from gravity models. More service class men than
expected moved from metropolitan to non-metropolitan areas and between
non-metropolitan areas. Women were less likely to move into
non-metropolitan areas and were especially attracted to metropolitan
destinations, notably London. These women were also more mobile within
the South than service class men. It is suggested that these
contrasting patterns reflect the differential geography of women's
employment."

populated south. The causes are identified as including climate,
overpopulation, political choices, and international factors. The
prospects of affecting these trends through development and migration
policies are considered.

"The aim of this article is to
show how analysis of biographical surveys of two cohorts [in Paris,
France] born around 1908 and 1922 can contribute to the study of
retirement migration. Data on residential, family and occupational
history were collected, for those retirees who moved to the Provinces
as well as for those who remained in [the] Paris area. Analysis of
these data, along with those of census and other INSEE national
surveys, have enabled us to gain further understanding of the
relationship between people and places."

"Using a simple model of gross migration [in West Germany], the
paper shows that provided economic agents are sufficiently risk averse,
migrational flows are likely to be procyclical. The econometric
results confirm that flows are highly procyclical. They further
indicate that changes in regional economic disparities significantly
affect migrational flows. However, given the widening of regional
disparities in the 1980s accompanied by a worsening in aggregate
conditions, migration seems least effective in offsetting the
differentiated impact of labor market shocks when it would be most
useful. The paper concludes by applying the results to the issue of
east-west migration and salary convergence."

Among them, the Labour Force survey is the best one. Because it is

year, and collects information on the situation before migration it can
be used to appreciate the evolution of mobility and to understand the
migratory behaviours. It is [therefore] possible to analyse
interaction between activity and mobility." Differences in migration

The results presented here suggest that California's out-migration

immigration-induced 'flight' that exports lower income and
less-educated Californians, primarily, to the nearby states of
Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona. And second, a more
conventional migration exchange with the rest of the United States that
involves the redistribution of better educated, higher income
migrants."

is arbitrary and ordered hierarchically. The level is generally chosen
according to the scale of analysis. If we add the observed fluxes in

find of course the total fluxes from the first to the second

to assess how a group's concentration level by state affects whether a

results...show that nativity concentration has a strong negative impact
on the odds of interstate migration and that after controlling for
differences between natives and immigrant groups in concentration

significantly less likely to migrate than natives."

"A labour-markets model is constructed in
which migration may exhibit 'distance deterrence' and 'cumulative
inertia'....The combination of these two processes yields higher
equilibrium unemployment rates in remote areas. Fewer out-migration
opportunities in remote areas generate longer residence durations which
become self-perpetuating (via cumulative inertia). Such areas
accumulate net in-migrants until the local unemployment rate rises
sufficiently to balance inflows and outflows. In equilibrium, local
unemployment rates compensate for (endogenous) variations in residence
duration. Some evidence is presented for Britain which supports the
prediction of higher unemployment in remote
areas."

active non-job movers are deterred from areas of high house prices.
Regional house price differences do not influence the destination
choice of homemakers or the terminally sick but they do influence the
destination choice of retirees. All groups prefer to travel the least

sector attributes and household characteristics, and Swedish household
migration, 1981-4, is studied. We report results separately for
metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas because the per capita levels of
the tax base and intergovernmental grants are theoretically important
migration determinants where population is sparse, whilst the tax rate
may be more important where population is dense. Because fiscal
influences are likely to be stronger for short-distance migration, we
apply multinomial logit to a three-way choice set: staying and
migrating short and long distances. Empirical results support our
fiscal hypotheses and are consistent with previous findings on
household characteristics."

Changes in U.S. internal migration patterns are

demonstrate that the effects of age and education differ, sometimes
appreciably, by type of mobility. There has been little change in the
impacts of demographic characteristics on the propensities to make
particular types of moves. Instead, we find that the increasing share
of longer distance movement has been due to secular changes, most
likely traced to improvements in transportation and communication, and
a favorable shift in population composition, especially increased
educational attainment. The association of demographic characteristics
with intercounty and interstate change of residence has remained
stable."

the average number of persons per household who commute to be

commuting and moving. The model is also able to account for changes in
structural components. The decision-model is empirically tested by
using methods of event history analysis with the data of the
Socio-Economic Panel."

"In this paper, Tokyo's commuting
patterns are examined to determine the extent to which the volume of
commuting is an inevitable result of the functioning of such a vast
interconnected economic system and the extent to which it is the result
of inefficient matching of workers and jobs." Some comparisons are made
to the situation in Los Angeles. Several simulations are used to
examine the effect of decentralisation of employment on commuting
behaviour and it is found that commuting time could be significantly
reduced by decentralising jobs or centralising
workers."

The author examines social changes and
migration in post-Mao China. The paper "first explains the Chinese
hukou system and its relationship with mobility and social
stratification, and then analyzes the changes in the mobility in the
reform era and the socio-economic characteristics of the newly emergent
social urban structure."

This book presents a collection
of papers based on data from a large-scale survey conducted in 1986 on
urban migration in China. The survey involved over 25,000 households
and some 100,000 individuals in 74 cities and towns in 16 provinces.
The primary focus of the papers is on rural-urban migration and its
consequences. Papers are also included on the 1986 migration survey,
internal migration in general, permanent and temporary migration
differentials, migrant characteristics, economic adjustment of urban
migrants, migration and fertility, changing urban migration patterns,
and comparisons with other Asian countries.

This study examines the
relationships among migration, urbanization, and development in India.
The author concludes that "there has been massive migration of landless
agricultural labourers, peasant and village operatives for marginalised
rural areas directly to [the] largest and over congested metropolises;
often they bypass local small towns, cities, [and] headquarters. That
is, these unskilled and illiterate distressed migrants are compelled to
make quantum jumps from stagnated rural areas to metropolitan areas,
leading to urban over-congestion, urban atrophy, proliferation of urban
informal sectors, urban unemployment, and frequent break down of
essential urban services."

The problems posed by rural-urban
migration in China since the late 1980s are explored. "The paper first
analyzes the problems and contributions brought by urban migrants.
Second, using Guangdong as an example, the paper examines the measures
taken by state agencies and their effectiveness. The final section
discusses the problems and prospects related to urban migration. The
paper concludes that current policy is plainly inadequate and that
urban migrants are still relegated to the margins of Chinese society.
It is argued that unless their claims are recognized, urban migrants
are likely to remain a thorn in governance and a threat to social
stability."
