This collective work is a
product of a conference on migration in Africa. The conference was held
in Kristiansand, Norway, in September 1991. "Broadly speaking, the
contributions in this book are organized around four main concerns.
These are: (a) the preoccupation with conceptual and methodological
questions; (b) the presentation of broad overviews of current work and
findings on the subject both at the regional and subregional levels;
(c) the discussions of the wide range of migration experiences; and (d)
a focus on gender issues both as a methodological and substantive
concern."

Population review: (3) Migration to, from and within the United
Kingdom. Population Trends, No. 83, Spring 1996. 5-16 pp. London,
England. In Eng.
This is the third article in a planned series
reviewing the changing composition of the British population.
"Monitoring migration trends and patterns is not a straightforward
task given the absence of a compulsory United Kingdom-wide system for
recording domestic changes of address. Nevertheless, data extracted
from the available sources offer a valuable insight into the diverse
and complex phenomenon of migration. This article examines
international and internal migration...in the 1980s and 1990s, and
looks at the geographical impact of the two in combination on the
population of the United Kingdom."

Refining the measure of migration in Northern Ireland.
[Affiner la mesure de la migration en Irlande du Nord.] Population,
Vol. 51, No. 2, Mar-Apr 1996. 468-81 pp. Paris, France. In Fre.
Migration, and emigration in particular, is a major demographic
factor in Northern Ireland. Previous studies examining the effects of
migration on Northern Ireland from 1971-1991 have come to differing
conclusions concerning the numbers of Protestant versus Catholic
emigrants. Following a critique of previous studies, the author sets
out to construct more precise estimates of Catholic and Protestant
emigration between 1971 and 1991, taking into account factors such as
undeclared religious affiliation and differing mortality levels. He
concludes that since 1968, slightly more Protestants than Catholics
have been emigrating from Northern Ireland, a reversal of previous
patterns.

Chichester, England. In Eng.
"This review presents a
probabilistic formulation of the decision making process, leading to a
rigorous treatment of migration behaviour for projection
purposes....Aggregate-level models may be applied to migration flows
for which the objectively measured characteristics of areas of
department and destination act as subjectively measured characteristics
and stimuli....Individual-level models use event history methods of
analysis to introduce a great variety of characteristics of the subject
on the decision to move. They lead to projections using microsimulation
models. A further step is taken in integrating macro- and
microbehavioural models. The use of aggregate and individual
characteristics simultaneously leads to more efficient and
sophisticated projection models: the factors affecting behaviour at the
micro-level cannot be inferred from aggregate studies and
conversely."

function of economic development, income distribution and the resource
base of an economy as important elements that influence emigration
dynamics. The demographic block focuses on population size, growth
rate, distribution and the stage of demographic transition. The
political block emphasizes issues relating to democratization and human
rights, while the socio-cultural block outlines the ever pervasive
notion of ethnicity, norms and value systems that impact intricately on
migration dynamics and decision-making
processes."

"A number of hypotheses concerning remittances from
foreign emigrants are developed and tested using questionnaire survey
data from Lala, a Lebanese village. According to the theory, a rural
family engages in an implicit insurance-type contract with the
potential migrant because both are averse to risk....Results from
testing the hypotheses are somewhat consistent with the proposition
that, after a period of adjustment, migrants do begin to remit, thereby
providing their families with an insurance against the uncertainties of
life in the country of origin. However, the level of remittances does
not appear to depend on the potential to inherit from a family's
wealth. Moreover, families do not seem to invest in their migrants so
as to improve their farm lands and to undertake risky agricultural
techniques. The long-term remittance commitment of migrants to their
residual families suggests that migrants' altruism may be a more
significant motivating factor than
self-interest."

"Pakistan has had substantial experience of overseas
migration and is counted among the world's leading manpower exporting
countries....At the individual level, migration overseas is a mixed
experience bringing prosperity to the family but also affecting both
the family and the migrant during prolonged periods of separation. At
the macro level, overseas migration is viewed as generally positive,
generating substantial foreign exchange for government and relieving
some unemployment pressure. In the process, however, Pakistan has come
to depend on a few countries to regularly absorb the bulk of its
migrant labour. The political consequences of such dependencies could
be disastrous, as Yemen learned in the wake of the Gulf crisis in 1990.
Further, as shown by recession in the mid-1980s, overseas migration is
a fragile and unpredictable phenomenon and cannot form the basis of a
longer term policy for development."

Re-thinking skilled international labour migration: world cities

323-38 pp. Oxford, England. In Eng.
"Highly skilled
professional and managerial labour migration has become an important
facet of the contemporary world economy. The operations of
transnational corporations have created more opportunities for skilled
migrants to work abroad....There is a growing interest amongst economic
geographers to examine this form of migration through an appreciation
of global economic restructuring, labour market change and world
cities. Consequently, this paper introduces a new conceptual
framework...[which] is based on the rationale that world cities, and
the patterns of labour market demand that exist within them, are of
paramount importance in influencing highly skilled professional and
managerial labour migration within the world economy. The author uses
an example of highly skilled labour migration within the transnational
banking sector [in London] to illustrate this new conceptual
framework."

"This paper documents the extent to
which immigrants [in the United States over the past 30 years]
participate in the many programs that make up the welfare state. The
immigrant-native difference in the probability of receiving cash
benefits is small, but the gap widens once other programs are included
in the analysis: 21 percent of immigrant households receive some type
of assistance, as compared with only 14 percent of native households.
The types of benefits received by earlier immigrants influence the
types of benefits received by newly arrived immigrants. Hence there
might be ethnic networks that transmit information about the
availability of particular benefits to new
immigrants."

No. 3, Jul 1996. 291-307 pp. London, England. In Eng.
The history
of female migration from Bechuanaland (modern Botswana) to South Africa
is explored. The paper "challenges some pervasive assumptions and
misconceptions in the regional literature on migrant labour and
agrarian transformation. It rejects the depiction of women as simply
passive victims of the migrant labour system, and instead stresses
Tswana women's migration strategies, motives, and agency. It challenges
the common assumption that women passively waited behind, then followed
their husbands to towns....[It] argues that the first period of Tswana
women's migration stretched from 1850 to 1930, characterized by various
social and economic causes, slowly accelerating volumes, return
movements, and predominantly rural western Transvaal destinations. It
goes on to distinguish three overlapping spatial
patterns--short-distance movements, migration streams, and step
migrations--which corresponded to particular categories of female
migrants with very specific reasons for
migrating."

profitable. We analyze the determinants of migrants' savings and
remittance decisions, using variables defined at the individual,

conditions under which U.S. earnings are repatriated to Mexico as
remittances and savings, and indicate the factors leading to their

and workplace are vitally important for understanding women's moves to
the [United States] and return trips to Puerto Rico. Specifically, we
posited that most Puerto Rican women move as tied-migrants or because
of their obligation or desire to meet gender responsibilities. In
addition, we also viewed migration as an action with the potential to
modify gender relations and alter future migration decision-making, as
women gain experience in the labour market and exposure to new social
and cultural environments."

increased, decreased or kept the same. We test several hypotheses about
factors influencing respondents' attitudes, including the importance of
previously unexamined predictors. These new hypotheses relate to views
about the health of the U.S. economy, feelings of social and political
alienation, and isolationist sentiments concerning international
economic issues and foreign relations. One important discovery is the
close connection between possessing restrictionist immigration
attitudes and having an isolationist perspective along a broader array

overseas, particularly to the United Kingdom. Data are from field trips
carried out in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The study focuses on the
economic and social changes that emigration and remittances from abroad
have led to in the society of origin.

"This paper analyzes the economic impact of temporary
and unskilled migrant workers in Japan, who are illegal according to
the current Japanese immigration law but who have been dramatically
increasing in recent years. The analysis, using a simple CGE model,
reveals the quadruple impact of the admission of migrant workers on the
welfare of the host country which has often been neglected in the
orthodox theory: (i) cheaper foreign labor effect; (ii) trade barrier
effect; (iii) nontradable income effect; and (iv) nontradable
consumption effect. Moreover, it is shown that, if Japan is to benefit
from admitting foreign labor, the scale of admission should be large
and the admission should be accompanied by trade
liberalization."

"During the colonial period under British rule, South
Asia provided a significant supply of migrant labour to the colonies.
The global economy under the colonial system created an international
labour market in which persons in the workforces of colonies at
relatively higher levels of development found economic opportunities in
less developed colonies which did not have an adequate supply of
literate and educated manpower. Compared with India, Sri Lanka
participated in migration to the colonies on a very limited scale and
mainly to one destination (Malaysia--then the Federated Malay States)
by one ethnic group (the Sri Lanka Tamil community). Immediately after
independence, members of the small community descended from Portuguese
and Dutch settlers emigrated to Australia, and in the 1960s many Sri
Lankans settled in the U.K., U.S., Canada, Australia and New

Westview Press: Boulder, Colorado/Oxford, England. In Eng.
This
study reviews current data and trends in immigration in the United
States. It attempts to demonstrate how social science findings can help
the informed citizen make rational choices about future immigration
legislation designed to influence those trends. The author begins by
identifying five classes of values that could be affected by
immigration. They are "(1) the standard of living in the United
States, (2) equity, (3) the preservation or modification of existing
American culture, (4) ethnic and class conflict, and (5) the power of
the United States in international affairs." Next, he discusses
how social science findings can influence policy decisions. This is
followed by a history of U.S. immigration law and a discussion of
recent patterns of international migration affecting the United States.
The determinants of immigration are then analyzed, and the author
examines the means by which immigration laws can be enforced. The book
concludes with some proposals for changes in immigration
laws.

"The concept of cultural pluralism, which
assumes that immigrants can integrate into the dominant host society
without surrendering their own cultural identity, has been advocated in
New Zealand since the Immigration Policy Review in 1986. This paper
investigates the change in cultural identity among Hong Kong Chinese
adolescents entering New Zealand between 1987 and 1992. The analysis
shows that integration is a more preferred adaptation than is
assimilation. However, half of the adolescents under study still
identified as either predominantly Chinese or even culturally
marginalised at four years after migration. The need to enhance the
social integration of new Chinese immigrants into New Zealand's
increasingly multicultural society is

This study examines factors that shape migration and settlement of
undocumented Mexican immigrants in a northern Californian community.
The data are from in-depth interviews with 44 individuals from 26
families. The interviews were conducted over an 18-month period from
1986 to 1988. Chapter 1 reviews the relevant literature and Chapter 2
provides a historical overview. Chapter 3 describes the barrio in which
the research was undertaken. "Chapter 4 focuses on how gender
relations in families and social networks shape diverse migration
patterns for women and men....Chapter 5 examines how immigrant women
and men in the U.S. reconstitute gender relations. Immigration and
resettlement patterns tend to weaken familial patriarchy, as indicated
by changes in the gender division of household labor, decision-making
power within the family, and women's and men's spatial
mobility....Chapter 6 examines how women engage in
activities--employment, securing public and private forms of assistance
for their families, and building a social nexus of community--that
ultimately serve to consolidate family
settlement."

This article offers a
historical explanation for current negative perceptions of immigration.
The author notes that even at a time when immigration to the countries
of the European Community is relatively low and stable, there is a
continuing outcry among many politicians, the media, and certain
experts, including some demographers, regarding the dangers of
immigration. He suggests that such fears are not supported by the
facts, and that they stem from historical attitudes toward the movement
of people. Such attitudes classified emigration as colonization, or as
a spreading of the values of civilization to the less fortunate. Within
this rhetorical framework, immigration was perceived as an invasion of
the national territory by foreigners.

in migration and labor are discussed in the second part of the paper.
This is followed by a section on several dimensions critical for
research on women migrants. In particular, it shows that the effects of

explicitly considered because the migration and labor market
experiences of women migrants profoundly differ from that of men. The

"This paper examines the effect of family indicators on
migration from, and return migration to, Puerto Rico among women in the
1980s. It appears that women use migration to gain independence as
single women and mothers since unmarried women were more likely to
migrate from Puerto Rico than married women. On the other hand, we see
evidence of a traditional route in which women follow men in the
migration stream since women recently married were more likely to
migrate from, and return to, Puerto Rico. Women married for longer
periods of time are the least likely to migrate. Finally, it appears
that women use migration to counter limited marriage opportunities in
Puerto Rico since unmarried women were less likely to return there and
since there were more changes in marital status after women migrated to
New York than after returning to Puerto
Rico."

"Just like any trade activity in well-functioning markets,
migration tends to enhance the efficiency of the allocation of
resources. With non-distortionary income distribution policy
instruments which can compensate losers, migration generates income
gains. But the gains tend to be typically rather small. However, when
the labor market is malfunctioning and wages are rigid, migration
exacerbates imperfections in the market. Consequently, it may lead to
losses to the established population which can be quite
sizable."

This monograph uses
data from a variety of sources to analyze the impact of the political
changes in Albania on population trends, and particularly on migration.
The author notes that the surge of emigration that occurred in 1991 has
resulted in the presence of many Albanians in Italy. Due to the lack of
relevant data, however, it is difficult to estimate their exact
numbers, both in Italy and in other countries of destination. Results
from a survey of the living conditions of Albanian migrants in Italy
are also presented. These show a continuing flow of in- and
out-migration between Italy and Albania that is associated with
economic difficulties in Albania.

This volume contains
revised versions of papers presented at a conference held in Toronto,
Canada, in the fall of 1992. The conference focused on aspects of
international migration in North America. Particular attention is given
to regional trade agreements, such as NAFTA, and the implications for
international migration in the region. The 17 papers are organized
under four main themes: social and political aspects of restructuring,
new trends in international migration, the emerging international
division of labor, and refugees and asylum in the Western Hemisphere.
Attention is given to the policy implications of these
developments.

"Good data show that in the 1970s immigrants to the United
States contributed more to the public coffers than they received in
public services. The data, displayed here in fuller detail than in an
earlier article in this journal, confirm the conclusion set forth by
the author more than a decade earlier. This conclusion is corroborated
by Canadian studies for the 1980s and 1990s and by the crude U.S. data
available for the most recent period. Any excess in welfare
expenditures on immigrants relative to natives is probably limited to
the narrowly defined category of welfare payments, which are relatively
insignificant compared to expenditures on schooling and social
security, and probably occurs only among older
immigrants."

The author examines trends in immigration to Denmark from
developing countries and discusses possible future scenarios. "If
the net immigration from the less developed countries continues at the
same level as in the last five or ten years, the number of immigrants
from these countries will account for 4-6 per cent of the population in
Denmark in thirty years. The descendants will account for 2-3 per cent
of the total population."

This study concerns current immigration to the United
States. It particularly discusses the implications of large-scale
Hispanic immigration, primarily from Mexico. This migration is analyzed
in the context of the history of immigration to the United States in
general and in the framework of the evolution of public policy
concerning immigrants. The author considers both the similarities with
past migrations and the special features that are present in the
current socioeconomic conditions in the United States. The author also
reviews the evidence regarding the economic impact of immigration and
offers recommendations for changes in policy, including a tax on
immigrants. The main conclusion of the study is that emphasis should be
placed not on the control of entry, but on assimilating those
immigrants who succeed in reaching the United States into the economy
and the social life of the country.

"In this paper I provide a conceptualization of
international migration networks, which can be used to identify and
integrate the internal components of migration systems, and formalize
the relationships in an analytic model of the internal network dynamic.
With the use of the operationalized model, and microlevel and
macrolevel data for guestworkers in Germany during the period 1970 to
1989, we can empirically test the relative influence of internal
network variables versus external forces on the attraction of
immigrants over time. The empirical results suggest that--as the system
matures--network variables have an increasing impact on the attraction
of immigrants, while the impact of economic factors declines. The
research is concluded with a series of simulations that further
highlight the internal dynamic of international migration
systems."

"Today, the
long distance migration in Sweden has slowed down. A transition from a
society with high flows of long distance migration to a society with
low flows has taken place during the past decades. This phenomenon,
which is largely unknown to a wider audience, is analysed in this
paper. We argue that the main reason for the new migration transition
is that people find it easier to find jobs in traditional outmigration
areas mainly because of the expansion of the public sector and
increased public transfers, but also as a result of changes in the age
composition of the population. First, we analyse the structural
transformation of the Swedish economy and its regional patterns.
Secondly, the regional migration is analysed. Finally we discuss the
factors behind the new migration
transition."

the move have an effect on short and long term attachment patterns
independent of residential stability and social investment

"We study a dynamic model of
labor migration in which moving costs decrease with the number of
migrants already settled in the destination. This assumption is
supported by sociological studies of migrant networks. With endogenous
moving costs migration occurs gradually over time. Once it starts, it
develops momentum, and migratory flows may increase even as wage
differentials narrow. In addition, migration tends to follow
geographical channels, and low-moving-cost individuals migrate first.
These patterns are consistent with historical evidence from the Great
Black Migration of 1915-1960 [in the United States], much of which
cannot be reconciled with existing migration
models."

"This paper is an analysis of the postdiagnosis mobility
of people diagnosed with AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) in
Florida. I infer intrastate mobility by comparing the county of
diagnosis on an individual's AIDS case report with that on the matched
death certificate; this allows the measurement of migration within the
state of Florida for 4,393 people through October, 1989--46% of the
total cases by that time. Out-migration rates in rural counties are
very high, approximately 50%, whereas those in large metropolitan
counties are less than 10%; however, these rates depend on race. The
data show that migrants moved to places with concentrations of
health-care facilities, and that there is a flow of migrants from rural
to urban places, particularly to large metropolitan areas. The results
suggest that the spatial distribution of people with AIDS changes in
the period after diagnosis, becoming more concentrated in places where
there are good health-care facilities."

"This article presents newly-available migration data
from the 1990 U.S. census to assess immigration and internal migration
components as they affect state poverty populations. New immigrant
waves are heavily focused on only a few `port-of-entry' states. It is
suggested that these immigrants have begun to impact upon internal
migration into and out of these `high immigration states', and have
also altered the national system of internal migration patterns. This
article addresses three questions: How do the magnitudes of poverty
population out-migration from high immigration states compare with
those of other states? Is this out-migration selective on particular
social and demographic groups? Is immigration a significant determinant
of internal migration of the poor population? The results of this
analysis are consistent with the view that recent, focused immigration
is associated with out-migration among a state's poor longer-term
residents."

migration estimates are examined, considering the changing

geographic and functional county types in nonmetropolitan areas. Some
differences stand out across the 24-year period, but the most notable
finding is the widespread nature of the turnaround, the reversal, and
the current recovery. There are differences between the present and the

people in rural and small town areas is
clear."

"Based
on the data on 11,470 household heads and spouses in a national survey

migrations on five types of prefectures: (1) metropolitan core, (2)
suburban, (3) regional growth pole, (4) peripheral non-kaso, and (5)
peripheral kaso prefectures. The selective effects are examined in
terms of five personal factors: sex, nativity, education, period of
marriage, and sibling status....Primary and onward migrations were much
more important than return migrations so that marriage migrations
increased the non-native's share of the population of every type of
[prefecture]. Marriage migrations resulted in further deterioration of
the quality of human capital in peripheral prefectures. The transition
from high to moderate economic growth in the early 1970s was
accompanied by sharp reversals in the net transfers of marriage
migrants in metropolitan cores and regional growth poles in opposite
directions."

"When considering where migration
research interests may proceed, this article suggests much could be
gained by considering theories of human motivation which, in the field
of social psychology, represents a theoretical progression from the
behavioural and cognitive approaches. The article suggests that
combining theories of human motivation with the developing
understanding of cultural influences may provide linkages between, on
the one hand, the personal realm of migration and, on the other, the
regional institutional framework of politicoeconomic structure within
which people make their decisions....The focus is on the migrant who
remains within the same broad cultural context (such as within the same

general area in which he or she previously resided. Thus a person
undertaking intraurban relocation is not regarded here as a `migrant',
and the schema proposed will probably not apply to international
migration."

"Estimated returns to
migration based on comparison of individual migrants may be biased
owing to self-selection in the migration process. Using data derived
from the 1986 Canadian census, I will study the effects of expected
wage differentials in determining the return or onward migration
decision of nonnative adults aged 20 to 64 years. Evidence was found
that return migrations were in the `right' direction, as they are
observed to respond to provincial economic variables (that is, average
employment growth and income levels) in a rational manner. After
accounting for self-selectivity, I found that...return migrants...are
negatively selected, and experience lower income levels, following the
return migration, than onward migrants would have, had they chosen the
return migration option. This drop in expected wages decreases the
propensity associated with making a return migration. Despite this drop
in income, the large proportion selecting the return migration option
suggests the importance of the province of birth in the mental map of
nonnative migrants."

Evidence is drawn from the 1991...census and from a representative
sample of elderly people in SE England. The sources demonstrate the
continued elaboration of long-distance, metropolitan-decentralizing
migrations around the age of retirement. Also shown are relatively high
rates of residential mobility among people in their seventies and
eighties. Most of their migrations are short distance, but nonetheless
with a net redistributional effect that sustains urban decentralization
at the oldest ages. There is no evidence of significant return
migration to London at advanced ages. From the survey responses,
distinctive housing dissatisfactions are identified in early and late
retirement, but neither set exactly matches expressed motivations for
moves."

This book contains nine
studies by different authors on aspects of the population displacement
that has occurred in Sudan over the past decade as a consequence of the
ongoing civil war being waged in the country. It also "effectively
documents the devastation that Sudan has experienced as a result of
chronic civil war and natural disaster. The economic drain on the
country as a result of the war represents a tremendous loss of precious
potential development capital. And the loss in human terms is almost
incalculable: the casualties of war; the children without families and
without hope of education; the displacement of rural farmers and
pastoralists and the disruption or destruction of their economy; the
reduction in productivity of a country drained by war; the devolution
of virtually every human service, from education and health to the
availability of food and commodities; and the loss of Sudan's most
precious resource--its people...who have been forced to flee the
country by the hundreds of thousands as a result of economic hardship
or political disturbance."

person is likely to select his/her place (state) of birth if it has a
pleasant climate and low living costs. Also the less wealthy and single
people are more likely to select their places of birth than other
migrants. In general, it has been found that place characteristics are
influential in the decisions of return migration of the recently

Dade County, Florida. Using information collected through sample
surveys and from other data sources, we investigate the extent of
housing damages, the number of people forced out of their homes, where
they went, how long they stayed, and whether they returned to their
prehurricane residences. We conclude that more than half the housing
units in Dade County were damaged by Hurricane Andrew; that more than
353,000 people were forced to leave their homes, at least temporarily;
and that almost 40,000 people left the county permanently as a direct
result of the hurricane. We believe that this study will provide
methodological guidance to analysts studying the demographic effects of
other large-scale natural disasters."

to return to wealthy countries which are not too far from the United

American immigrants who returned permanently to their countries of

four main questions: "How were immigrants who planned to return
home different from those who expected to put down roots in
America--especially in motivations for leaving Europe and expectations
for life in the United States? How were these temporary immigrants
different while living and working in America, and how did this
experience change them? What were the temporary immigrants' influences
on America? What did remigrants carry back (in their hands as well as
in their heads), and how was the homeland affected by their
return?" The study examines the impact of the returning immigrants
on both the United States and their countries of
origin.

empirical results revealed that the significant determinants of
rural-urban migration in Nigeria are income, contact, cost, spoken
English, ability to speak two Nigerian languages, distance, marital
status, sex and ethnicity. The results further suggest that rural-urban
migration is selective of single people and males. Proximity to urban
areas where prospective migrants have relatives, friends and

"The various studies focussing on human

cities is ever increasing because of the massive and continuous flow
from rural areas. The persistance of such migration trends from the
country to cities deepens regional disparities, compounds the
difficulties and cost of city management and development, specially in
the case of Dakar, and runs counter to the goals of social and economic
development plans....The growing importance of such phenomena calls for
the designing of corrective measures in favour of rural areas and small
towns in order to settle rural populations and halt the inordinate and
chaotic geographical growth of large cities. Failing this, development
efforts may well be compromised."

Asia, neither the various steps to bring down labour intensity in the

bring about migration from rural to urban areas. This was because in
traditional societies economic mechanisms are not effective unless they
are complemented by appropriate social and cultural policies. All
policies were oriented towards the state's goal of vertical integration
of regions with the central economy. In Central Asia in particular this
policy resulted in serious distortions in the social and economic

proposed models, are found quite close to the observed pattern of
urbanization based on economic development. The estimates of
rural-urban migration rates have also been computed. The paper also
explores the application of the recently developed intercensal
estimation technique of Stupp (1989) to estimate the age-specific rural
net out-migration rate in India for males and females separately. A
comparative study has also been made between India and Japan in terms
of rural out-migration. It is observed that the probability of still
being in the rural area up to the age of 15, given an individual was
living in rural area at age 5, is 0.91 for males for India and 0.75 for
