"This paper
provides an overview of recent trends in Caribbean migration....To
begin, the paper outlines the historical background of Caribbean
emigrations since the late eighteenth century. Second, the paper
identifies the main current in Caribbean migration in the 1980s: (1)
emigration to the metropolis; (2) emigration to other Latin American
countries; (3) migration within the region; and (4) return migration.
Third, the essay analyses the socioeconomic composition of Caribbean
migrants (by age, sex, region, education, and occupation) as well as
their incorporation into the receiving labour markets....Fourth, the
impacts of emigration on Caribbean politics, economics, culture, and
society are briefly assessed. Finally, the ideology of migration as a
safety valve is evaluated."

The effect of
growing economic and regional integration among the member countries of
the European Community on labor migration is examined. "The development
of the European Communities (EC) shows that regional integration can
attenuate socioeconomic disparities that induce people to migrate.
Increased trade and welfare has had a leveling effect among EC states
that has dampened migration. Trade exchanges and competition within
the EC occurred more within industrial or product groups than between
economic sectors. Thus adjustment to freer trade did not lead to the
loss of whole industries and mass redundancies." The implications of
the EC experience for future migration trends in the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) countries are
considered.

"By joining the migratory labor movement to Western
Europe in the early 1960s, Turkey, for the first time in its history,
began showing signs of becoming a country of large scale economic
emigration. It is here argued that the growth of the number of Turkish
workers in Europe during the recruitment period, and their becoming the
largest of the foreign labor contingents in Germany and the
Netherlands, was due to the exhaustion of the other suppliers' labor
reserves. Taking into account other viewpoints, the emergence of
conditions for external migration and the specific 'push' factors are
explored on the basis of Turkey's socio-economic structure; the
characteristics of Turkish immigrants are also addressed in this
way."

to have bypassed most emigration countries; growing protectionism does
not augur well for the future. Foreign direct investment, similarly,
has mostly taken the form of an exchange between rich countries or of

this time onwards, migratory movements have tended to reverse, and
Europe, as well as East Asian countries with low birth rates, have in

the previously dominant pattern of emigration and increased U.K.
population by about 3 million people through immigration and higher
fertility, with only slight effects upon the age

describe trends in spouse migration [from the Indian subcontinent]
using the U.K. example, which is believed to be reasonably

consider both the re-unification of pre-existing families of
immigrants, and the migration of new spouses both of immigrants and of
members of ethnic minority populations who were themselves born in the
receiving country. These two streams are not entirely conceptually
separate, and there is no unambiguous way of separating them in the
published U.K. statistics. However, it is clear that the former stream
of pre-existing family members dominated up to the 1980s and that it is
now being augmented and replaced by the latter stream of new
spouses."

also have an impact on the number of immigrants in 1995, the number of
immigrants who requested asylum can be estimated. In this article a
simple method of short-term prediction is presented. Assuming that the
outflow of asylum seekers to municipalities in 1995 will show the same
pattern as in 1994 and that the total inflow of asylum seekers in the
special centres will not surpass 30 thousand, a total of about 19
thousand asylum seekers will become immigrants in

Migration in the Mediterranean is analyzed from a
demographic perspective, and particularly taking the demographic
transition into account. From this viewpoint, migration flows have in
the past, and will continue to tend to redistribute populations in the
light of demographic differences between regions. Thus, the migration
pressures will continue to exert themselves from the South to the North
until the countries of the South experience a transition to low
fertility and slower rates of population
growth.

This is a

Mediterranean. The authors first define the geographical area of
study. They then look at past trends and the demographic balance in
the region up to the mid-twentieth century. They then examine some
contemporary demographic trends and their implications, and consider
future prospect for population developments. The implications for
South-North migration pressures are discussed. The authors conclude
that resolution of the problems posed by the widening socioeconomic and
demographic gap between countries north and south of the Mediterranean
can only be resolved if migration policies are developed in
coordination with policies of economic and cultural cooperation that
help accelerate the process of socioeconomic development in the
third-world countries concerned.

"This article
examines how data on INS [Immigration and Naturalization Service]
border apprehensions are related to the flow of undocumented migrants
crossing the southern U.S. border. Its centerpiece is a demographic
model of the process of unauthorized migration across the Mexico-U.S.
frontier. This model is both a conceptual framework that allows us to
see theoretical linkages between apprehensions and illegal migrant
flows, and a methodological device that yields estimates of the gross
number of undocumented migrants. One implication of the model is that,
for the first time, the relation between apprehensions and illegal
flows can be examined empirically. We show that the ratio in each
period between apprehensions and the undocumented flow is simply the
odds of being located and arrested on any given attempt to enter the
United States clandestinely."

in the effects of labor migration on the receiving economy has not

analysis of the transition and steady-state repercussions of migration
that arise even if migration has no effect at all on standard labor

Review, Vol. 29, No. 2, Summer 1995. 317-51 pp. Staten Island, New

"This article applies the theory of structuration to
international labor migration using case study material from the
Philippines. It first provides a brief review of the functional and
structural approaches to understanding labor migration and the
theoretical impasse that has been created between them. It then
reviews several attempts to resolve this impasse, including systems and
networks approaches; these solutions are rejected on theoretical and
empirical grounds. We suggest that migrant institutions may be a more
appropriate mid-level concept than households or social networks to
articulate various levels of analysis. We develop this concept in the
context of the structuration theory of Anthony Giddens and attempt to
apply this to the Philippines, concluding that this framework is
eminently suited for further research on international labor
migration."

International Migration Review, Vol. 29, No. 1, Spring 1995. 85-111 pp.
Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"It is sometimes thought that
immigrants [to the United States] who are screened for occupational
skills are likely to become more productive Americans than immigrants
who gain admission on the basis of family ties to native-born U.S.
citizens or to previous immigrants. However, the expected differential
may be small or nonexistent because: 1) kinship immigrants have access
to family networks; 2) whereas employers may screen for short-term
productivity, family members may screen for long-term productivity; and
3) native-born U.S citizens who sponsor spouses may be particularly
adept at screening for long-term success. Longitudinal data on the 1977
immigrant cohort is used to compare initial and longer-term
occupational outcomes among employment and kinship immigrants. Results
indicate a narrowing of the differential, due both to higher rates of
occupational downgrading among employment immigrants and of
occupational upgrading among kinship
immigrants."

the outflow of the highly trained Asians is simply a matter of

economic disadvantages are caused by the act of migration itself rather

is depressed at the beginning of the immigrants' Australian working
career, and this in turn diminishes occupational status throughout the
working lives of the immigrants and accounts for the economic
disadvantages they face."

This is a general review of past,
present, and possible future trends in international migration from
North Africa to Europe. The author notes that the lack of
qualifications of migrants has generally precluded their upward
mobility in receiving countries and reduced the benefits of emigration
for the societies of origin. The economic crises affecting Europe as a
whole since the mid-1970s, coupled with lack of job opportunities in
countries of origin, have contributed both to high unemployment among
emigrants, as well as a trend toward naturalization and family
reunification rather than to return migration. The author notes that
foreigners are not eligible for the system of free circulation of labor
evolving within the European Community.

of developing the societies of origin. The latter have in reality only
benefited from 'passive' gains. In the future, countries providing
labour force must endeavour to improve their understanding of the

order to improve the integration of population transfers in their

various forms, from labour force migration, in a first phase, to family
reunification, and more recently, asylum requests and irregular
immigration. These migratory flows must be understood within the
context of a severe imbalance--demographic and economic--between the
Southern and Northern banks of the Mediterranean. Europe and especially
the European Union is directly confronted by this persistent migratory
pressure coming from the other Mediterranean countries. Its future can
only be conceived of through new and innovative forms of cooperation

study contributes to the literature on international migration by
examining social, demographic and contextual factors that influence
modes of labor market incorporation and occupational cost among new
immigrants during their first years after migration. The data for the
analysis were obtained from the 1983 Census of Population conducted by
Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics. The analysis focuses on men who
immigrated to Israel between 1979 to 1983....The data reveal that the
likelihood of finding employment, the mode of labor market
incorporation, and the size of the occupational cost are significantly
affected by geocultural origin, occupation in the country of origin,
and individual-level demographic and human capital resources. The
meaning of the differentiated effects are discussed in detail. The
findings point toward two central aspects that should be examined in
the study of labor market incorporation of new immigrants: employment
status and occupational cost."

Elmsford, New York/Oxford, England. In Eng.
"South Africa has
experienced a significant continuous outflow of professional and
technical skills in recent decades. The international marketability of
such skills has encouraged a 'brain drain' phenomenon of the type which
is common from other developing countries....The most popular
destinations are the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and
the United States. This paper examines aspects of the phenomenon, with
particular reference to the South African community now domiciled in
Australia."

This publication is a result of a project designed to establish an
information system on international migration in Europe. It consists
of "(a) an inventory of sources of international migration data for
most European countries which lists the sources available on stocks and
flows of foreign nationals and immigrants, together with the concepts
and definitions employed, and an assessment of their accuracy; (b) a
collection of the main statistical data from the most useful national
statistical sources, to allow stock and flow numbers and
characteristics for each country to be identified. This statistical
base is supplemented by an extensive bibliography of recent works on
European international migration. The information system has been used
to produce a report (Section Two) which identifies current patterns and
trends of stocks and flows of international migrants in Europe, and
indicates the processes that are creating
them."

"The article examines the threefold immigration problem currently
facing Russia: the influx of refugees from the developing world who
hope eventually to reach the West, and the large numbers of
non-Russians and ethnic Russians entering the country from the other
former Soviet republics. The institutions established recently to
tackle immigration are insufficiently funded and often find themselves
in conflict with other agencies, both Russian and international.
Legislation on the status of immigrants is also confused. The most
pressing issue, however, is that of Russian immigration into Russia.
This has implications for domestic policies: the immigrants are
regarded as a potential solution to the problem of rural depopulation
and are prevented from entering densely populated regions. The exodus
of ethnic Russians from the other former Soviet republic may also
affect Russia's relations with these countries, which it has accused of
discriminating against their Russian
populations."

"Statistics on international migration in the Netherlands do
not make a distinction by reason of migration, e.g. family
reunification and family formation. Because of the need for
information on these types of migration, estimates were made based on
demographic characteristics. The estimates show that the number of
family reunionists was stable between 1987 and 1991....Recently, the
Dutch policy on immigration has become more restrictive. Although
information with respect to more recent years is largely lacking,
tentative estimates suggest that the 1994 number of family reunionists
and family forming immigrants combined has shown a strong decrease
compared to 1991."

"This article delineates a number of frontier issues in
international labor migration. Why do migrants return even though the
wage differential does not reverse? Who returns? Why do migrants who
remain and enjoy higher wages share their earnings with others at home,
even in the absence of altruism or of a need to establish an exchange
relationship? And why do the earnings of migrants often dominate those
of native-born workers even when differences in human capital are
controlled for? By the very nature of these issues, the analysis is
preliminary and suggestive, the link with empirics is partial and often
indirect, and the policy repercussions are tentative....The analysis
delineates a number of concrete, testable implications and several
distinct policies."

"An
implementation of the theory of labor migration under asymmetric
information shows that return migration arises from the reinstatement
of informational symmetry which induces low-skill workers, who are no
longer pooled with high-skill workers, to return. When workers in an
occupation constitute more than two skill levels, say four (without
loss of generality), the following patterns emerge: Migration is
sequential, that is, it proceeds in waves. Each wave breaks into
workers who return and workers who stay; within waves the returning
migrants are the low-skill workers. The average skill level of
migrants is rising in the order of their
wave."

"This study addresses two fundamental questions about the economic
assimilation of undocumented immigrants in the United States: 1) how
different recently legalized immigrants are from all foreign-born
persons and native-born whites; 2) whether wages of undocumented
immigrants improve as they acquire greater amounts of U.S. experience
and, if so, how these improvements are comparable to those of
immigrants in general. We analyze the Legalized Population Survey and
the Current Population Survey to assess the returns to U.S. experience
and find positive returns to U.S. experience for both undocumented
migrants and all foreign-born men. Returns to U.S. experience depend
on region of origin. Undocumented immigrants from Mexico received the
lowest wage returns and men from non-Spanish-speaking countries
received the highest returns to U.S.
experience."

"This article
examines the probable effects of the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) on migration from Mexico to the United States,
disputing the view that expansion of jobs in Mexico could rapidly
reduce undocumented migration. To the extent that NAFTA causes Mexican
export agriculture to expand, migration to the United States will
increase rather than decrease in the short run. Data collected in both
California and the Mexican State of Baja California show that
indigenous migrants from southern Mexico typically first undertake
internal migration, which lowers the costs and risks of U.S. migration.
Two features of employment in export agriculture were found to be
specially significant in lowering the costs of U.S. migration: first,
working in export agriculture exposes migrants to more diverse social
networks and information about U.S. migration; second, agro-export
employment in northern Mexico provides stable employment, albeit
low-wage employment, for some members of the family close to the border
(especially women and children) while allowing other members of the
family to assume the risks of U.S.
migration."

flows originate in developing rather than in developed countries.
Women outnumber men only in terms of net migration. Each receiving

variables being the receiving countries' admission policies and the
stage in migration history of the expatriate

"This paper presents an analysis of 1990 census
migration data for U.S. States (including the District of Columbia).
Its text and Appendix tables provide detailed statistics on immigration
and internal migration components of 1985-90 population change for
individual States, cross tabulated by race, Latino status, poverty
status, and, in some cases, education attainment....This paper
addresses the questions: (1) How do the magnitudes of poverty
population out-migration from High Immigration States compare with
those of other States? (2) Is this out-migration selective on
particular social and demographic groups? and (3) Is immigration a
significant determinant of internal migration of the poverty
population?"

"This study offers an alternative
empirical technique to test whether the favorable self-selection
hypothesis applies to internal migrants in the United States. Our
empirical specification attempts to determine if prospective migrants
possess unobserved traits such as higher ability or motivation which
influence their earnings potential relative to nonmigrants. Using NLSY
[National Longitudinal Survey of Youth] data for 1985 through 1991, we
find some support for the favorable self-selection hypothesis for white
males who move from one SMSA to another. Prior to their move,
prospective migrants enjoy a consistent advantage in annual wage and
salary income relative to nonmigrants with similar earnings-related
characteristics."

"In 1993, out migration from five
villages in the upper valley of the Senegal river appears to be as
intensive as it was ten years ago, but with the difference that new
social groups are now concerned: children, women, and older men.
Migration of family groups is essentially characteristic of
international migrants, although all the members of the family do not
always move to the same place. Besides pendular and incomplete
migrations, settlement in Dakar can be observed, probably corresponding
to a progressive [severance] from the village of origin. Exogamy and
nonresidential polygamy also contribute to a multilocalization of the
family and of the community of origin, thus strengthening the flows of
migrants, especially to Dakar."

"Internal migration of the population of Thailand involves a number
of distinct forms of movement. Three forms are identified in this
research: single-move, seasonal and repeat. The first can be treated
as long-term migration while the latter two are more temporary. All
forms are characterized by different geographical flows and different
selectivity patterns. Long-term migration is highly selective of young
adults, females and the more highly educated. It is most likely to
occur between urban areas or from rural to urban areas. Temporary
migration mainly involves movement back and forth between urban and
rural places and is most likely to be engaged in by those with a medium
level of education."

"The aim of
this paper is to utilise recently released census results to examine
patterns of population change in non-metropolitan Australia during the
1986-91 period, focusing particularly upon the net migration component
of that change. The paper presents an overview of recent trends in
population change in non-metropolitan areas and then moves to an
analysis of net migration patterns in non-metropolitan local government
areas during the late 1980s using a Life Table Survival Ratio technique
to estimate net migration. It appears that the trends observed in the
early 1980s have continued into the late 1980s and early 1990s, and
that overall the 'turnaround' is slowing down and becoming more
diversified, more complex, and much less predictable in the
1990s."

a greater percentage of their own co-linguists, but Francophones are
less sensitive than Anglophones to linguistic

economic reasons for selecting Utah as a destination predominate,
culture and family play an important secondary role. Mormons are more
likely to report cultural and family reasons for moving to Utah, while
non-Mormons are more likely to move for employment and education
reasons. Distance from the state and time since arrival are the most
important determinants of reasons for migration to

reported by McHugh and Gober, was indeed significant, but that it was
transitory. Second, the note's analysis does not support McHugh and

through postarrival migration has continued to be focused on
metropolitan areas in general and on Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal
in particular. The distribution of previous immigrants plays a
significant role over and above that of economic circumstances both in
retaining immigrants in a particular city and in attracting members of
immigrant groups from other cities."

virtually always constructed from the standpoint that the mortality
underlying a survived population is not stochastic and the census
counts framing the intercensal period are error free. There is
compelling evidence, however, that mortality should be viewed as a
random variable and census counts contain systematic errors. This
evidence suggests that net migration accuracy is affected both by
random error and bias. We explore the estimation of net migration
accuracy by placing 'Mean Square Error' (MSE) confidence intervals
around 1980-1990 net migration estimates for Arkansas made using the
Forward Life Table Survival Method....We argue that the MSE intervals
provide an accurate description of the uncertainty in net migration

Recent trends in the migration to France
of those seeking political asylum are analyzed. The author notes that
the number of applications for political asylum grew significantly over
the course of the 1980s, peaking in 1989. The 1989 adoption of
regulations governing such refugee migrants has diminished the flow of
this migration both by lengthening the process of approval and
increasing the rate of rejection. However, the author notes that the
number of legitimate requests for political asylum continues to
increase on a worldwide basis.

in large parts of the developing world and in Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union), are likely to result in growing numbers of
refugees and internally displaced persons in the years ahead. Refugees
and asylum seekers are increasingly regarded not only as a major
humanitarian challenge but as a political problem and a threat to the
national security of Western states. Refugee policy involves much more
than defining or adjudicating claims for asylum, safe haven and refugee
status for those who seek to enter or stay in the West. It is now
apparent that an effective response to these issues will have to
involve major Western foreign policy and international
actions."

Vietnamese to Hong Kong mostly consisted of ethnic Chinese. These were
relatively quickly recognized as refugees and resettled. The later
waves of ethnic Vietnamese have been held in closed camps; those

policies of sending countries. Part 2 focuses on "a) presenting the
size of emigration, on the one hand consisting of the displaced persons
who do not agree to repatriation to their home countries...,and on the
other hand of those, who constitute a new wave of emigrants leaving
their motherland, b) presenting their relocation in the recipient
countries, mainly overseas, c) discussing the problem of repatriation.
The issues were discussed according to the countries of emigration
(among others Germany, Austria, Great Britain, France, Sweden, overseas
countries) and according to the nationality of emigrants (e.g. Poles,
Balts, Ukrainians, Russians, Jugoslavians,
Hungarians)."

burdened or benefitted that country....The involuntary migration
compounded other effects of the Gulf crisis on Jordan and exacerbated
the country's already serious economic problems. Integration of the
returnees was painful. But contrary to initial expectations, the mass
arrival did not result in unmitigated disaster and may have contributed
to an economic recovery in Jordan, suggesting that there may be
potentially beneficial windfall effects of sudden population influxes,
even when they are involuntary and

applications, attesting to a certain, if limited, governmental capacity
to prevent unwanted migration."

Spa. with sum. in Eng.
The impact of the Simpson-Rodino Law of
1986, which increased legal commuting labor migration across the
Mexican-U.S. border, is examined using data from surveys undertaken in
1986 and 1990. "Using these data and LOGIT regression models which
include variables related to individuals as well as their household
members and their context, statistical evidence is generated in support
of the propositions that, i) an expansion occurred of the spectrum of
social strata incurring in this type of migration; ii) the selectivity
characteristics of new entrants into this migration group show a
reproduction strategy oriented toward upward mobility; and iii)
contextual factors led to a geographic redistribution of the commuter
migrant group in the state of Baja
California."

This work, translated from the original French, presents a
bibliography of the literature on the voluntary return of migrants to
their country of origin. The bibliography, which is unannotated,
consists of 1,017 published and unpublished sources in various
languages. A general review of the literature is included in the
introductory three chapters, which also consider policy issues. The
primary geographic focus is on migration to and back from Europe.
Geographical and subject indexes are
included.

profile of 1990 returnees. New Zealand Journal of Geography, No.

"In the
1990s the population [of New Zealand] is experiencing higher levels of
mobility than at any time in its history. However, with regards to
European migration to New Zealand, the settler flows of the past have
been overtaken in importance by reverse flows of temporary migrants.
Now flows of new settlers come predominantly from Asia and the
Pacific....This paper is about return migration--a process that has
been largely ignored in the literature on international migration to
New Zealand."

form a series of conceptual theories on migration in general and in
particular on returning. Also looked at is the validity of the
characterizations of returning and the bipolar effect....Consideration
is also given to the subject of how one takes on the study of
returning, a typology being proposed to that effect....The social
implications of returning are also analyzed. The study ends with a
brief reflection on the phenomenon of the returning migrants in modern
Europe."

deals with the impact of...return migrants (or returnees) on the social
and economic development of the Republic of Yemen in both the short and
long terms, and assesses the possibility of their integration into the
society and economy of the new Republic. The first section offers a
brief history of Yemeni migration and description of the demographic
and economic characteristics of the returnees compared with those of
the non-migrant population. It also discusses the volume of
remittances....The second section...discusses the problems encountered
in integrating [returnees] into the socio-economic fabric of the new
State, the absorptive capacity of the various economic sectors, and the
prospects for their employment in the short and medium
run."

intentions. Professional Geographer, Vol. 47, No. 2, May 1995.

"This paper analyzes the
determinants of international return migration intentions using survey
data on guestworkers in Germany, 1970-1989. It is hypothesized that
return migration intentions are influenced by personal attributes,
residential and job satisfaction, and three time-dependent variables: a
temporal trend, a duration effect, and years prior to retirement. The
hypotheses are tested using logit models of the intention to return.
The results indicate that return intention probabilities are strongly
affected by satisfaction and time-dependent variables while the
influence of personal attributes is of little
importance."

This special issue is
devoted to migration and urbanization in the developing world.
Following a general introduction by the editors, the 13 papers are
divided into three parts. The first part contains studies on the
general issues arising from the study of migration and urbanization,
using examples from Brazil, Egypt, India, and the Ivory Coast. The
second part focuses on the mechanisms of migration, with studies on
Africa in general, Cameroon, Ecuador, and India. The third part has
four studies that look at the impact of migration on the towns and
cities involved, including examples from India, Ivory Coast,
Madagascar, Mexico, and Niger.

"The object of this study was to
identify the factors that may explain, and help to predict, the
direction and intensity of migration flows from rural to urban and from
urban to urban areas in Colombia. For this purpose, statistical models
were used with a view to obtaining a better insight into the
push-and-pull causes of the migration patterns and a better
understanding of their consequences."

"A traditional view on the contribution of
migration to urban development is that migration is a basic component
of such growth....An analysis was made of the relative censuses and
vital statistic data for each urban conglomeration in Serbia pertaining
to the last inter-censal period (1981-1991)....It is found...that the
migration balance of urban population is positive....We...conclude that
the urban population growth in Serbia, in the period 1981-1991, is
rather the result of natural than of the migratory movement of its
population."
