This
is an analysis of out-migration from the Mexican region of Mixteca
Baja. The authors suggest that, in a dependent capitalist country like
Mexico, there are regions whose primary function is to act as source of
labor, and that this is such a region. They conclude that the
individual decision to migrate is the result of a social process that
is part of the life of the community. Three types of factors
influencing migration are identified--the economic, the demographic,
and the cultural--and their relative importance is
considered.

This is a descriptive essay on
migration in Africa in the twentieth century. After a summary of the
main characteristics of African migration, consideration is given to
international migration both within and outside the African continent,
internal migration, and rural-urban migration. The causes,
characteristics, and consequences of various migratory flows are
briefly discussed.

"Because in
many societies women are marginalized from [basic human] rights,
migration to more economically and educationally open societies can
often help improve their personal situation and their professional
opportunities. On the other hand...their social integration in new
settings may be equally limited by their initial lack of education and
occupational experience....Health monitoring of women in all
migration-related situations has to be given greater priority.
Similarly, much more attention at a health policy level is called for
if the rights of women refugees and migrants are to be protected, and
their contribution to health and social development is to be
acknowledged and promoted."

This survey of world migration
"begins in the sixteenth century with the establishment of
European colonies overseas and covers the history of migration to the
late twentieth century, when political conflict, global communications
and transport systems stimulated immense and complex flows of displaced
persons, labour migrants and skilled professionals. In ninety-five
contributions leading scholars from twenty-seven different countries
consider a wide variety of issues including regional migration
patterns, the flights of refugees and illegal migration. Each entry
constitutes a substantive essay, supported by up-to-date
bibliographies, tables, plates, maps and figures." There are
chapters on European colonization and settlement; Asian indentured and
colonial migration; the great Atlantic migration to North America;
migration in Europe, 1800-1950; migration in Africa; Latin and Central
American migration; migration to North America after 1945; labor
migration to Western Europe after 1945; repatriates and colonial
auxiliaries; migration in Asia and Oceania; migration in the Middle
East; refugees from political conflict; migrants and asylum-seekers in
contemporary Europe; and emerging trends.

The factors that influence individual decisions about
migration are explored in this chapter. Both the macro and micro
aspects of migration motivation are considered. The authors note the
value of an event-history approach, in which migration is analyzed in
the context of various family and professional events experienced by
the individual. The need to combine such micro-level approaches with
macro-level migration analysis is discussed. These concepts are
illustrated using French examples.

"The building of supranational
spaces, strongly segmented, underscores both the new outlooks of the
migratory phenomenon and the growing human mobility into protected
spaces. The current mutations of socio-economical structures are
supported by three main effects introducing on migratory dynamics: the
planetary demographic growth and its spatial distribution, the
widespread marketing links, the technological and the new media
revolution. The time is ripe to argue about a global discourse on
migration, i.e. literally about `migratology', which would allow the
understanding of migratory modernity according to the contemporary
`societal' mutations and the consequential evolution of its two basic
analytical references: `space-time' and `flows-stock'. Eventually the
question of the epistemological existence of a scientific identity for
the migration theme is clearly stated by this
approach."

"In this paper, we intend to
explore the interconnections between...two types of migration: internal
and international. The analysis emphasizes two themes. First, in the
five year period 1985-90, the pattern of Mexican internal migration
increasingly reflected an intensive movement of people from south to
north, particularly to the northern border states and cities. This
rising concentration of migrants in the north of Mexico constitutes
important evidence of closer linkages between internal and
international migration to the United States. Second, the internal
migration trajectories of international migrants increasingly reflect
the importance of Mexican metropolitan areas, as both receivers and
providers, of internal and international migrants.

"This article
evaluates the extent to which migration research profits from cohort
approaches. First, some cohort approaches from the literature are
discussed and evaluated. Next, expectations are presented concerning
cohort differences in migration behaviour. These expectations are based
on theoretical considerations stressing the instrumentality of the
migration career to other careers in the life course. It is shown how
these expectations have been confirmed with recent empirical findings,
based on [data from the Netherlands]....The conclusion is that the
contribution of cohort approaches to migration research is rather
limited, and mainly restricted to the study of specific migration
events that tend to take place only once in a lifetime, such as leaving
the parental home."

"While a
generalized utility maximization approach to migration decisionmaking
is not innovative, the principal extensions of this paper involve the
search for an instrument capable of measuring changes in utility levels
consistent with all preferences (i.e., with all forms of utility
functions), requiring only data on observed behaviour. Our approach is
to construct a Location-Specific Utility Index (LSUI), whose component
variables serve as proxies for the arguments in [U.S.] households'
utility functions....The testable hypothesis is formulated as follows:
Assuming constant household preferences and expansion of the
household's feasible set over time, the household's utility level is
greater following the migration decision....The results are compared
with the households' migration decisions. The empirical evidence shows
that migration may reasonably be modelled as a consumption activity by
households to maximize utility."

"This paper investigates the
relationship between the internal migration of native-born workers and
flows of immigrants to the United States using the 1980 and 1990 U.S.
Census Bureau microsamples....Based on the estimation of three sets of
regression models for five overlapping samples of the largest
metropolitan areas in the United States and five mutually exclusive
segments of the labor force, this analysis shows that the finding of a
significant linkage between internal migration and immigration depends
critically on the empirical experiment used. In direct opposition to
previous published research, we conclude that net migration of the
native born for metropolitan areas is either positively related or
unrelated to immigration. Our models show that the net migration loss
of unskilled native workers from metropolitan areas is probably a
function of those cities' population size rather than immigrant flow to
them. We conclude that the net migration loss of native-born workers
from large metropolitan areas is more likely the result of industrial
restructuring than of competition with
immigrants."

impact of Mexican migration, but methodological issues compromise the
utility of these estimates for anything more than the broadest

"This study has argued that network
migration is central to actual migratory movements, which suggests that
its determinants should be carefully investigated. The analysis
demonstrates that the network behavior of ethnic Germans can be
explained, to a large degree, by observable characteristics. Two
crucial variables were investigated, namely the connections to friends
from the country of origin and the settlement close to relatives and
friends. East Europeans, especially from Rumania, are significantly
more connected to friends from the same country of origin than are East
Germans. These connections strongly decline with duration of residence
and presence in rural areas. Older people are more likely to settle
close to friends or relatives at the time of immigration. Population
density increases, education, length of stay in a reception camp, and
per capita government expenditures decrease the likelihood of such a
settlement."

on the public policy agenda of the United States....To understand why
policy makers and the public have grown increasingly concerned about
immigration, it is helpful to examine recent trends in the magnitude of
flows of persons coming into the country compared to those at earlier
time periods....Thus, the specific purposes of this paper are: (1) to
develop a portrait of the recent major migration flows to the United
States, (2) to assess their implications for the racial/ethnic
composition of the U.S. population, and (3) to examine the economic
context in which they have occurred. The general goal is to try to
explain not only why recent migration flows have come to be negatively
perceived, but also why they appear increasingly to be seen as
violating the prevailing sense of social contract in the United

international experts from a range of disciplines, this volume explores
key questions concerning patterns of migration and different national
policies, and their relation to political, social and cultural
processes. Part One begins by examining the broader global and European
context. Parts Two and Three then focus on four selected
countries--Britain, France, Germany and Italy--within the broader
European context." The book addresses the following questions:
"Who is a citizen? Who is entitled to be part of a `national'
community, and who is to be excluded? Who may cross what boundaries and
borders, reside and work within particular states, and who may not?
What perceptions do insiders have of outsiders? How do different
communities within states behave towards each other, define, manipulate
and act upon their mutual perceptions?"

note is the migration of the Patidar community to East Africa--and
remigration to Gujarat, India. The primary motive for migration of the
immigrant Patidars was to work, accumulate money and return to India,
claiming a higher caste status. By 1931, a sufficient number of the
community had become economically affluent and were given a higher
caste status by the census enumerators. This study illustrates the
transient nature of Indian migration to East Africa and its impact on
caste mobility."

article examines a unique data set randomly collected from Latinas

Orange County, California, including undocumented and documented Latina
immigrants, Latina citizens, and non-Hispanic white women. Our survey
suggests that undocumented Latinas are younger than documented Latinas,
and immigrant Latinas are generally younger than U.S.-citizen Latinas
and Anglo women. Undocumented and documented Latinas work in menial
service sector jobs, often in domestic services. Most do not have
job-related benefits such as medical insurance....Despite their
immigration status, undocumented Latina immigrants often viewed
themselves as part of a community in the United States, which
significantly influenced their intentions to stay in the United States.
Contrary to much of the recent public policy debate over immigration,
we did not find that social services influenced Latina immigrants'
intentions to stay in the United States."

complement to the static vision, which observes the emergence of
immigrant communities undergoing a complex process of ethnicization (or

methodological problems, research based on cross-sectional censuses and

of language assimilation among Mexican migrants to the United

description and analysis. International Migration Review, Vol. 31,
No. 1, Spring 1997. 51-71 pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"This article is concerned with geographically indirect
immigration to Canada over the period 1968-1988. A geographically
indirect immigrant is an individual legally admitted to Canada whose
country of last permanent residence differs from country of birth.
Records maintained by Employment and Immigration Canada on every
immigrant legally admitted over the period were used in the study.
Relative to geographically direct immigrants, geographically indirect
immigrants tend to be older, more educated, and more highly skilled.
Moreover, if they were not born in an English or French speaking
country, indirect immigrants are more likely to speak English and/or
French capably than direct migrants born in such countries. The study
also contains bivariate logit estimates of a model of geographically
indirect Canadian immigration. This model suggests that indirect
migrants tend to be influenced by personal characteristics (age, sex,
marital status, occupation, language ability), as well as by various
characteristics of the country of birth (distance from Canada, income
level, political conditions)."

two of the largest contemporary immigrant groups in the United States,
Asians and Hispanics. In particular, the author attempts to answer two
questions: Does migration selection contribute to the observed ethnic
difference in the labor market performance of Asian and Hispanic
immigrant women? If so, what role does immigration policy play in the
selection of women from Asia and Latin America? Marital status at
migration and migration pattern are proposed as empirical measures of
migration selectivity. Data are primarily from the Current Population
Survey. "The results show that migration selectivity significantly
differentiates immigrant women in labor supply, but not in earnings.
Among women who are married at the time of arrival in the United
States, those who migrate before their husbands are most likely to
participate in the labor force, while those who migrate after their
husbands are least likely to do so."

Regionalization, economic restructuring and labour migration in
Singapore. International Migration, Vol. 35, No. 1, 1997. 109-30
pp. Oxford, England. In Eng. with sum. in Fre; Spa.
"This
paper documents the impact of economic development on changes in
employment and labour migration in Singapore. High export-led growth
and the relaxation of immigration policies in the late 1960s enabled
employment of substantial numbers of unskilled foreign labour in
manufacturing, construction and domestic service sectors....Economic
development in the 1990s, characterized by the regionalization drive
which relocates relatively resource-intensive operations of
Singapore-based companies overseas, has led to increased retrenchments
and a moderation of demand for foreign workers. The upgrading of
remaining production operations in Singapore is expected to increase
demand for workers with higher skill levels. Emigration of highly
educated and skilled professionals from Singapore became a national
concern in the late 1980s. However, with regionalization, the new
challenge in the 1990s has become one of encouraging Singaporeans to
temporarily take up overseas positions."

Factors determining migrant remittances: the case of Greece.
International Migration Review, Vol. 31, No. 1, Spring 1997. 72-87 pp.
Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"In this study we review the
literature regarding the theory and the empirical evidence regarding
migrants' remittance behavior, and we examine the flow and determinants
of remittances from Greek migrants for the period 1961 to 1991. The
main body of data is for remittances to Greece from Germany, but for
some years data are available for remittances from Belgium and Sweden
as well. The objective of this study is to test the significance of
certain factors in terms of their effects on remittances to Greece.
These factors are the migrant's income, the migrant's family income,
the rate of unemployment, the rate of interest, the exchange rate, and
the rate of inflation. The study attempts to see if these factors have
had any effect on the volume of remittances. It also attempts to see if
there are any structural changes during this period that affect
migrants' propensity to remit."

such dispersal was not uncommon in families that emigrated in the past.
Analyses of the Sydney student survey data and also of a sample of

"This paper details the various steps
adopted in the estimation of international emigration from Vietnam by
sex and age between the dates of the first two modern censuses
conducted in 1979 and 1989. The measurement of Vietnamese emigration is
based on existing intercensal projection methods. The procedure is
applied to Vietnamese census data to obtain preliminary estimates of
Vietnamese intercensal emigration. A separate estimate of intercensal
emigration is derived from a combination of data on the Vietnam-born
population in the censuses of the United States, Canada, and Australia,
three major receiver countries of Vietnamese emigration, and of data on
refugee movements collected by the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees. The paper evaluates the two sets of estimates and discusses
the relative appropriateness of the data sources for the estimation of
intercensal emigration."

Trends in
international migration affecting Hungary from 1956 to 1992 are
explored. The author notes that over this period, Hungary changed from
a country of emigration to a country of migrant destination, with most
of the immigrants coming from other Eastern Bloc countries. The author
suggests that regional development planning should pay more attention
to actual migration trends, rather than using ideal migration
patterns.

After several brief sections introducing the topic
of European migration and the background of its scholarly study, this
dissertation is organized into five parts. The first provides a
historical overview of European emigration, immigration, and internal
displacements. In the second, the current migratory situation is
analyzed separately for each of the European states, distinguishing
asylum-seeking from illegal immigration. The third lays out the global
framework, discussing developmental and demographic trends in the
developing countries as well as urbanization. The fourth posits the
de-regionalization of migration as a consequence of increasing global
integration; the author sees transcontinental migration from the
developing to the industrialized world as a global form of migration
from the periphery to the center. In the final section, the development
and integration of Europe's recent immigration policies are
charted.

This
study examines migration to the developed world in the context of the
growth of international economic systems. In particular, the author
notes the contrast between the drive to create border-free economic
spaces and the drive for renewed border controls to keep immigrants and
refugees out. "The first section discusses some of the main
implications of economic internationalization for migration processes
and for migration policy. The second section examines the role of the
state in the implementation of a global economic system and the
transformation of the state as a result of that work of implementation.
The third section discusses the general implications of these
conditions for immigration policy design and implementation. The final
section examines the implications of economic restructuring for an
expanded demand for immigrant workers in advanced urban
economies."

"Like the 1930s, the 1980s were characterized, in France,
by a profound economic, social, and moral crisis....The far right
exploited the general mood of anxiety to place immigrants in the center
of the debate, blaming the immigrant communities for the country's
problems....In the 1930s, the group designated as most dangerous was
the Jews; in the 1980s, it was the North Africans. As a result, the
extreme right urges that borders be closed, that access to citizenship
be restricted, that as many foreigners as possible be turned away.
Although racist ideas were commonly expressed in the 1930s, they are no
longer openly espoused today, with the exception of certain fringe
groups. But, aside from this difference and the origin of the groups
perceived as most threatening, the modus operandi of the xenophobic
process has varied little in 50 years."

Europe. Particular attention is given to the consequences for economic
policy. The 12 papers are divided into four sections. The first section
examines international migration pressures on Europe, international
security issues, and immigrants' performance in comparison with the
native-born. The second section discusses the impact of immigration in
Germany on the one hand, and in France, the United Kingdom, and the
Netherlands on the other. The third section explores the relation
between the transformation of socialist economies to capitalist
economies and migration. Policy issues are analyzed in the fourth

"The overwhelming trend of migratory flows to become
globalized, which is manifesting itself in all the major immigrant
countries and the planet's main pools of employment, henceforth
concerns France and Europe. One of the main challenges confronting
these two entities is related to the spatial expansion and rising
diversity of their recruitment spaces, and the great difficulty
involved in controlling mobility which increasingly tends to function
on a global scale. It is essential to revise analytic paradigms based
on a strictly national vision which is blind to and repressive of
phenomena that are more planetary every day. The global approach will
have to combine national management, the functioning of the community's
migratory space, relations with increasingly distant and increasingly
`foreign' lands of origin, and the globalization of migratory
dynamics."

groups. The study looks at the choice of SMSAs on the West Coast of the
United States among four different Asian immigrant groups, comparing
census data from 1980 and 1990. There are two main goals that drive
this study. The first is to compare how well different theoretical
models of immigration can be applied to understanding what determines
choice of destination within countries by immigrants. The second goal
is to see if these models are consistent across different status
groups....The results suggest that neither economic nor network models
alone adequately explain settlement choice of immigrants. The results
instead support the gravity model of migration as the best predictive
model of immigrant settlement patterns."

migration and how these patterns vary over time. "Such patterns
include differences among the migrants themselves, in the circumstances
from which they come, and in the changing settings in which their lives
evolve." The author then examines the histories of particular
migrant groups, including Germans, Japanese, Italians, Chinese, Jews,
and Indians. A final chapter sums up the implications of the cultural
differences among migrant groups that were identified in the six
previous chapters.

article contains a translation of a chapter in the Qingtian County
Gazetteer as an example of the information on immigration that can be

"Whereas pull migration [in Europe]
has been seen as economically beneficial, there is concern that push
migration will accelerate the employment crisis. This article qualifies
this view by arguing that migration may erode institutional
constraints....A review of empirical studies for Europe concludes that
migration was largely beneficial in the past. New econometric
investigations suggest that immigration from countries that are
targeted for recruitment was strongly driven by business cycle effects
(demand-pull) and chain migration (supply-push), but that the processes
changed with the halt in recruitment in 1973."

pioneer activity are treated as complementary to one another and meshed
with a qualitative knowledge of place. It is shown that frontier
settlement patterns reflect the composite of these models, a maturing

Through these, individual labor force experiences of migrants and

Uprooting of people persists forty to fifty years after events
initiating its occurrence, and differentially impacts each population
group. Gender differentials are noticeably significant among
occupational sectors of employment, less so for economic sectors.
Predominance and continual growth of informal activities also is
apparent, a trend which impacts women more

analyzes patterns of migration among Russia's regions from shortly

focuses on two large migration streams currently occurring in
Russia--the return migration of Russians, as well as Russian speakers,
to Russia from the other republics of the former Soviet Union and
massive out-migration from the Russian North to the western and
southern portions of the country. These migration streams are assessed
in terms of both their impacts on current population numbers in

insights from the microdata of the 1987 National Survey.
Environment and Planning A, Vol. 29, No. 4, Apr 1997. 707-30 pp.
London, England. In Eng.
Microdata from the 1987 National
Population Survey are used to analyze internal migration in China in
the 1980s. The focus is on the impact of migration policies on
rural-urban migration. "There are two main findings. First,
although the migration policy resulted in a very low migration level
and systematic distortions in migration schedules, its encouragement of
downward migrations was very ineffective, whereas its control on
rural-to-urban migrations was partially weakened by the strong upward
aspirations of rural families awakened by recent economic reform.
Consequently, net in-migration contributed substantially to the growth
both of city and of town populations. Second, although the level of
education had a strong positive effect on the migration propensities
both of males and of females in general, it had a strong negative
effect on the migration propensities of females at the time of
marriage, a finding which suggests that the families at subsistence
income level tended to marry their daughters to grooms in other
communities in order to reduce the risk of familial income
shortfalls."

"This paper uses a two-level nested logit model to
explain the inter-stratum (city, town and rural county) and
interprovincial migration behaviors of the young adults (aged 17-29) in
China during a three-year period (1985-87), based on the micro data of
the 1987 National Population Survey. The migration propensity of each
person is represented by a departure probability and a destination
choice probability. These probabilities are then expressed as functions
of personal factors and place attributes. The main findings are that
personal factors are of paramount importance in explaining the
departure behaviors, and that both departure and destination behaviors
responded to market forces in a sensible way, despite government
control on territorial movements."

Determinants of elderly interstate migration in the United States,
1985-1990. Research on Aging, Vol. 18, No. 4, Dec 1996. 451-76 pp.
Thousand Oaks, California. In Eng.
"This article applies a
three-level nested logit model to the microdata of the 1990 U.S. census
to explain the 1985 to 1990 return and onward interstate migration
patterns of the elderly aged 65+ by personal factors and state
attributes. The elderly were split into three groups defined by age: 65
to 69, 70 to 74, and 75+. Analysis reveals that both return and onward
migrants were sensitive to amenity factors, racial similarity, and the
distance decay effect, although return migrants were less affected by
the distance decay effect than onward migrants. The motivations for a
return or onward migration were also observed to vary with respect to
age groups, with amenity effects more important for the young elderly.
Several personal characteristics also were found to systematically
influence the migration choice process, including level of education
and marital status."

"Drawing
upon the 1991 Statistics Canada Public Use Micro File (PUMF), this
paper describes the nature of the interprovincial migration flows
originating within Quebec and arriving in Quebec between 1986 and 1991.
Both the overall population and specific personal attributes such as
level of education, mother tongue and age are considered in order to
determine the demographic impacts of migration on the province of
Quebec. Results suggest that migration flows into and out of the
province continue a trend observed between 1976-81 and 1981-86, with an
overall loss of population through migration. English speaking migrants
represented a large proportion of the outmigrants and a small
proportion of the inmigrants to Quebec. Quebec must rely upon return
migrants as a source of population growth."

pp. University of Leeds, School of Geography: Leeds, England. In Eng.
"Annual national and sub-national population estimates for
Greece since 1981 have been adjusted recently by the National
Statistical Service of Greece to take account of the results of the
1991 Census of Population. The rebased population counts have been used
in this paper, together with births and deaths data to generate a time
series of net migration estimates for the...regions of Greece. These
estimates present a very different picture of net migration patterns to
that published by Eurostat during the 1980s. Time series of natural
change and net migration rates for 1980-92 are outlined and the
importance of the net migration component in explaining regional
population growth in Greece is quantified. Published migration data
from the 1991 Census is not yet available, so the paper contains an
analysis of internal migration in Greece using data from the 1981
Census."

[Wanderungen von Ost- nach Westdeutschland.] Wochenbericht des
Deutschen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung, Vol. 61, No. 9,
1994. 128-32 pp. Berlin, Germany. In Ger.
The number of relocations
from East to West Germany has been steadily decreasing since 1990. The
authors posit that this decline is a result of the poor employment
conditions now prevailing in West Germany. They indicate that the
potential for migration is still high: one quarter of adult East
Germans would consider moving to West Germany. The fact that young,
qualified persons are the most prone to leave the region should be
cause for concern. The main factor in this decision is not the current
situation, but expectations for the future. Data on migration potential
are drawn mainly from annual socioeconomic panel surveys conducted in
West Germany since 1984 and in East Germany since 1990; in 1993, 6,500
private households comprising over 13,000 individuals were
surveyed.

Assimilation and attachment in the context of international
migration: the case of guestworkers in Germany. Papers in Regional
Science, Vol. 73, No. 3, Jul 1994. 241-66 pp. Urbana, Illinois. In Eng.
"Immigrants' attachments to home and their assimilation into
the host society have been identified as major factors influencing
international return migration. This paper provides an empirical
analysis of the determinants of attachment and assimilation, with a
special focus on the impact of duration of stay. Using survey data on
guestworkers in West Germany in 1984 and 1989, the study finds that
assimilation increases at a decreasing rate as the duration of stay is
extended. The relationship between attachment and length of stay is
less strong, but shows a general trend of decreasing attachment levels
as guestworkers prolong their stay in Germany. The resulting trends for
return migration are characterized by an overall decline in the
propensity to return as the duration of stay is extended. However, the
rate of decline varies by gender, marital status, and nationality.
Overall, the results allude to the importance of distinguishing between
short term and long term immigrants."

Data from a
survey carried out by the author are used to analyze aspects of
rural-urban migration in Bangladesh. The survey comprised 710 migrants
and nonmigrants living in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The focus of the analysis
is on the motives and conditions affecting the migration of both men
and women. The author explores how women migrants cope with the demands
and stresses of urban living in unfavorable socioeconomic conditions,
and how migration affects the well-being of migrants and their
families. Policy implications are also examined.

"The migration flows to
and from the four largest Dutch municipalities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam,
The Hague and Utrecht) show a number of similarities. During the past
few decades internal migration has been characterized by a move away
from the large cities, while the much smaller international migration
flow had an opposite direction. This has resulted in a net decrease of
the total population in the largest cities."

"The number of people
that move to, from or within large cities is, in a relative sense, far
greater than the corresponding figure for the other parts of the

between the different sections of the city with respect to composition
and intensity of population flows. This article focuses on the
differences between two sections of Rotterdam."
