"In order to study geographical mobility at the end of the
nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, we
construct the biography of two cohorts of individuals born in the
villages of Chezery and Forens during the periods 1871-1880 and
1901-1910. We seek to define the boundaries of emigration from that
area and look for successive migrations. Movers are identified in the
census schedules of a set of 580 communes surrounding the place of
birth. Migration is studied according to sex, age, familial history and
individual activity; and the features of movers and stayers are
compared."

This article examines issues concerning gender,
class, and ethnic group in the context of migration studies, with
particular reference to the participation of women in migration. Two
main questions are considered: "(a) to what extent do the prevailing
models, strongly influenced by the stereotype of the young, male
migrant, recognize the differences introduced by gender, or the
differences in gender system which can vary according to ethnic group;
[and] (b) if these principles of social organization--class, gender,
ethnic group--are forces which influence all levels of social life, to
what extent is it possible to develop the relationships between the
micro and the macro levels in an integrated model." The geographical
focus is on Latin America.

"The present and

determinants and elements of migration decisions. This survey
encompasses a view on classical--labor market and demand side
oriented--theories, the more recent human capital approach as well as
on migration under asymmetric information. Since these theories so far
yield an unsatisfactory basis for description and forecasting of
multilateral migration flows, a closer look at empirical methods of
migration research is taken. Consequently, a description of possible
policy oriented applications of the gravity model and the random
utility approach, with their descriptive and normative characteristics,
is given."

"Existing
models treat migration as either an individual or household decision.
In this paper migration is modeled as the outcome of joint utility
maximisation by the prospective migrant and other household members.
This approach encompasses the Todaro and household models as special
cases of a more general model. It provides a theoretical rationale for
the inclusion of a richer set of explanatory variables in an
econometric model of migration. Further, it links the determinants of
migration with existing work on remittances. Empirical evidence from a
rural household survey in western Kenya provides support for the
model."

"Recent
foreign immigration has become a major factor not only in contributing
to America's population growth, but also in creating greater diversity
among its people. Since the enactment of the 1965 Immigration and
Nationality Act Amendments, most immigrants are coming from new sources
in Asia and Latin America. This study analyzes the changes in the
policies that have allowed these new immigrants [to arrive], the
immigrants' characteristics, and destinations within America. Current
policies will lead to a significant decline in the country's percentage
of Euroamericans and a corresponding increase in the population
categorized as minorities....With record numbers of Asian, particularly
South and East Asians, and Latin American immigrants arriving annually,
America's metropolitan areas are increasingly expected to accommodate
them. Consequently, rapid racial and ethnic diversity is developing in
these urban centers while most rural areas remain populated largely by
Euroamericans."

changes in the socioeconomic structure of the country. After the crisis
of the 1930s the impact of a development plan based on the export of
agricultural products waned and the economic growth accompanied with
political instability generated a slowing decline of migratory flows,
despite a new wave between 1945 and 1952. The decrease of international

Japan. In these Bolivian lands, the emigration derived income provides
the driving force of family economies and triggers development of the
local territory. At the same time, emigration induces a process of
socio-economic differentiation in peasant communities which weakens the
food-system and increases family nutritional risks in the populations
marginal to this migration system. In addition to these mutations there
is a strong sociocultural destructuring which affects
community-cohesion in local societies."

Evidence is presented from previous research that the impact of
U.S. immigration on the wages of native workers is positive. The author
suggests that immigrants create more jobs than natives in the areas
where they locate, that wages of natives grow more in areas of high
immigration, and that immigration improves the wages of Anglo women in
particular.

Mexico have to do not just with the size of migrant flows and migrants'
socioeconomic characteristics, but with the responses of host
populations. It ends by stating that Mexican migrants will become more
and more irritating to middle class Americans if the types of jobs
being created in Mexico do not change."

"This paper surveys research on the
size of the undocumented immigrant population in the United States, the
causes and consequences of illegal migrant flows, public attitudes
toward unauthorized migrants, and the history of attempts to control
the volume of undocumented migration. It concludes that there are
powerful push and pull factors that create and sustain the volume of
unauthorized migration, that there is little evidence that undocumented
migrants have negative labor market consequences despite what the
general public thinks, that U.S. policy has been largely powerless to
make a permanent dent in undocumented immigration, and that the current
level of clandestine U.S. immigration may not be far from what society
might view as socially optimal."

pp. Amsterdam, Netherlands. In Eng.
"This paper develops a simple
time series model of emigration and applies it to data for emigration
from the United Kingdom, 1870-1913. The model is derived from a
microeconomic analysis of the migration decision and provides a
specific functional form and dynamic structure. It encompasses and
explains many of the empirical findings of earlier research on the
determinants of emigration over this historical period. The results
support the model strongly in most respects. Both wage rates and
employment rates in the sending and in the receiving countries
influenced fluctuations in emigration. The short-run fluctuations were
driven largely by variations in employment rates while the long-run
level of emigration was determined largely by the relative
wage."

approach which is facilitated by new data on internationally comparable

from different countries to international wage differentials and the
degree of international labor market integration. A number of chapters

1992, to $42.5 billion more in services and assistance than the $20.2
billion which immigrants paid in taxes (Huddle, 1993). The updated

revises some methods and assumptions used in the earlier work. The
updated bottom line is fully consistent with initial findings on

migration have developed. The official system is focused strongly on
the Middle East (although other Asian destinations are increasing in
significance) and is dominated by female migrants. The undocumented
system is much larger in volume, is focused upon Malaysia, involves
more males than females and is becoming permanent in some cases. The
role, status and experiences of women migrants in relation to their

years produced the greatest refugee flows of any region in the
world....The crisis of the secular nation-state in the Middle East will
continue as states become either politically or economically more
dependent on outside protection or assistance. The challenge by
Islamist movements is also likely to undermine national cohesion by
politicizing religious identity."

"The 1980s witnessed increasing
regional interdependence in Asia through trade and investment.
Increasing flows of labor within the region, however, raise questions
about three important issues: (1) the assumption that trade, investment
and aid will eventually mitigate migration pressure in source countries
and the effectiveness of migration policies based on that assumption;
(2) whether increasing regional interdependence stimulates or deters
migration; [and] (3) the effect of rising interdependence on the
political and international relations aspects of migration. As a
partial attempt to address these questions, this article examines the
regional pattern of economic interdependence by utilizing information
concerning trade, investment and migration flows. The concept of
interdependence/dependence is discussed within a political context,
focusing on migration and policy responses to it. Observations are made
on the implications for regional stability and

statistics, an abuse of migration regulations, and the dishonesty of
many of those who appointed themselves leaders and spokespersons of the

"In this paper the
direction of the long-run migration incentive in the presence of closed
borders and the long-run welfare effects of a regime change from
`autarky' to `free permanent migration' are studied. A difference in
birth-country specific fertility rates is treated as the final cause
for the creation of migration incentives in a two-country model where
the standard overlapping-generations framework is used....Opening the
borders for permanent migration can always lead to the equalization of
labour force growth rates. A continuum of such equilibria with
migration does exist, but the application of the concept of
migration-stability, introduced in this paper, gives reason to the
suspicion that free migration can also lead to a collapse of the
emigration country's economy."

risk. Adverse impacts of climatic change will be one extra pressure on
small island states, many of which are already struggling to cope with
sustainable management of their natural resources and with the demands
of their rapidly growing populations for education, housing and
employment. The migration strategy is likely to entail significant
medium-term health, psychological and social costs for some Pacific

an important transfer of currency, mostly used for the support of the

of the primary and secondary sectors of economy towards the tertiary

considered include the economic situation in Hong Kong and emigration;
emigration tendencies; policy and return movements; migration and

overview. Asian and Pacific Migration Journal, Vol. 4, No. 2-3,
1995. 211-32 pp. Quezon City, Philippines. In Eng.
"Emigration
pressures are primarily the result of increasing inequalities between
countries which, in turn, are the result of factors internal to less
developed countries and their relations with developed countries. Both
micro (neoclassical) and macrostructural theories of migration are
reviewed. It is argued that the neoclassical theory of migration is
often unjustly criticized and is sufficiently robust to incorporate
those structural considerations which are at the core of
macrostructural theories. Moreover, the neoclassical theory, with
slight modification, can incorporate the `new economics of migration.'
The major empirical problem confronting models of international labor
migration is that migration flows are constrained by immigration
policy. This policy, in turn, is influenced by various special interest
groups. The direction and form of migration flows is conditioned by
contemporary and historical relationships between source and
destination countries."

This article examines the extent
of and the reasons for the success and economic achievement of Japanese
immigrants in the United States. In particular, the author considers
the role that return migration of immigrants may have played. "My
finding that the selective return migration of Japanese immigrants
could account for much of their improvement in occupational position in
the period before World War II contributes to the debate over the
economic achievement of Japanese and other Asian Americans as well as
the broader debates over the economic achievement of immigrants and
different racial groups in the United
States."

"Addressing the question of immigration to Western Europe and
especially to Germany from east and southeast Europe and from
developing countries of the South, this article considers whether such
immigration can compensate for reductions in population in developed
countries. It is argued that the demographic deficits of an aging
population can only be corrected to a limited extent through
immigration. Any solution, in order to be effective, must include a
simultaneous increase in the birthrates of Germany and other European
Community countries. With particular regard to future social
development in Germany and the EC, it would be advisable for
governments to effect measures that will provide both for controlled
admissions of immigrants from outside the EC and an increase in local
reproductive capabilities."

"Motives for
migration should play a major role in the development of achievement
motivation of migrants, which, in turn, should influence economic
success. For a sample of guest-workers in Austria it is shown that the
simple distinction of economic and non-economic, i.e. family or
political motives, does not yield convincing results for the
explanation of wages. Economic motivation has to be further
differentiated into `search for success' and `fear of failure' types.
Immigrants with optimistic economic motivation are able to command
wages more than 10% higher than individuals migrating for political
reasons."

"This article
shows that a family perspective is especially important for the
analysis of female migration because: (1) women are major participants
in `family migration' as defined by governments and, although they
benefit from family reunification provisions, they are also constrained
by them; (2) migrant women are important economic actors and their
participation in economic activity is closely related to the needs of
their families, so that the choices that migrant women make regarding
work cannot be understood without taking into account the situation of
their families and women's roles within them; (3) women are
increasingly becoming migrant workers in order to improve the economic
status of their families; and (4) women rely on their families to
provide various types of support that both make migration possible and
condition its outcome. A review of the literature provides evidence
supporting each of these observations."

"A conceptual framework
of need, enabling, and predisposing determinants of services
utilization is employed in an analysis of the use of public services
among recent inmigrants (N = 306) and longer-term residents (N = 323)
age 60 and older in retirement-destination counties of the
Middle-Atlantic region of the United States. Logistic regression is
used to examine whether migration status affects use of an array of
public services or whether migration transmits the effects of other
selectivity factors such as age, gender, income, and health status as
indicators of need, enabling, and predisposing characteristics. Being
an inmigrant predisposes use of recreation-oriented public services
regardless of selectivity, but other characteristics of older
individuals rather than migration per se predict use of other public
services."

are discussed, with particular reference to the situation in Africa.
The need to control the rate of population growth and resolve political

after loss of manufacturing jobs prompted a middle-class exodus. The
lack of jobs was not a deterrent for low-income immigrants, though,
because many of them had limited job skills and other employment
barriers [and] would have had difficulty getting or holding a job
anyway. Similar processes of economic decline, population loss, and
poverty inmigration appear to be occurring elsewhere also. The article
