Using data
from the 1987 census of Cameroon, the authors examine the spatial
organization of age and sex structure and migration at the level of
Cameroon's 49 departments. They focus on the similarities and
differences between contiguous departments at the local level in order
to map the regions where demographic similarities and exchange of
population are greatest (regional nodes), and the boundaries separating
areas of demographic dissimilarity and weak migratory
exchange.

The hypothesis that
nineteenth-century European immigration to the northern United States
delayed the large-scale migration of blacks from the South to the North
is examined using state- and city-level data. "The article
suggests a Todaro-like interpretation of the Great Migration, which
emphasizes the importance of job availability to blacks in determining
their expected wages. The combination of mass European immigration and
hiring practices that favored white immigrants over blacks may have
delayed the Great Migration by decades."

"The
migration system of the Dogon of Sangha (Mali) contains three
components: a migration to agricultural lands in the Seno Gondo plain,
an internal migration, and an international migration, the two latter
being urban. The first of these migrations is an authentic colonizing
movement and has to be analyzed in a socio-anthropological perspective,
as a reflection of the organization of the extended family and the
clan. Intense economic, religious and social exchanges take place
between the villages of origin and those in the plain. The urban
migrations, whether internal or international, are more
individualistic. However, they should not be interpreted uniquely in
economic terms, for although they do reflect a desire for personal
gain, they are also the expression of a rejection by young people of
the traditional social system in which men and elder sons monopolize
power to the exclusion of young people and women. Migration is shown to
have a heuristic value in revealing the functioning of the social
system."

because of the extent, coherence, and wealth of their data, they can

an example, he uses the Belgian national register to answer some
questions about spatial mobility in a particular geographic
zone.

reviews the international migration experience of Germany in the

a new and threatening experience to many Germans. Contemporary public
debate has largely chosen to ignore the fact that throughout German
history the movement of people across borders and the consequent clash
of cultures was not the exception but the norm. It has also been
forgotten that many native inhabitants are descendants of foreigners
who immigrated to Germany, and that millions of German emigrants were
strangers in foreign countries, just as many foreigners today are
strangers in the united Germany."

two different pictures of Portuguese emigration [with regard to] sex
ratio, occupations and age distribution. Data obtained point at a
larger generalization: sources containing data on legal emigration only
do not reflect `true' emigration in countries with important

"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.
Our 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 States." The authors conclude that
"devising immigration policies that are fair as well as sensitive
to their environmental, developmental, trade, and foreign-policy
implications may prove difficult unless the public sense of economic
security increases enough to strengthen what appears to be an
increasingly fragile sense of social
contract."

"In a country such as the United States, the contribution of
net international migration to overall population change overshadows
the contribution of natural increase....Some analysts have assumed that
if the same number of people leave and enter the country each year,
then the effect of net international migration will be zero. This
article examines that assumption and shows that it is fallacious.
Examining the direct, indirect, total, and negative demographic impacts
of zero net international migration through simulations with
demographic data, we demonstrate that zero net international migration
is not the same and therefore does not have the same demographic
results and implications as zero international migration. We conclude
that zero net international migration should not be confused with zero
international migration."

The authors "find that
the official aggregate data on remittances, income and savings provide
a highly misleading picture of the actual extent and forms of such
flows and their uses. Their work indicates very little support for the
remittance decay hypothesis. Instead, data demonstrate that remittance
levels do not decline with length of absence away from the migrant's
home country and a significant factor for migrants to remit is the
accumulation of assets and investment in the home country. These
findings open the way for Pacific island governments to increase and
manage the flows of remittances to the benefit of their
economies."

The authors
discuss reasons that "the number of Haitians and of Dominicans of
Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic has almost doubled in the
past 10-15 years, despite the expulsion order of June 1991 and the fact
that, more than ever, migration takes place within a Caribbean-United
States context....The presence of 500,000 Haitians and
Dominico-Haitians on Dominican soil does not correspond to classical
migration dynamics. It reflects the economic and political relations
between the two countries, relations of undifferentiation that include
the persistence of smuggling between the two countries. Suggesting a
figure like this permits a better understanding of the Haitian
question, which in turn may help identify the obstacles to a
formalization of relations--political
differentiation."

International migration: backgrounds and developments.

Vol. 45, No. 3, Mar 1997. 12-29 pp. Voorburg, Netherlands. In Dut. with
sum. in Eng.
"Net migration [in the Netherlands] has
fluctuated strongly during the past decades. In 1983 net migration
(including net administrative corrections) was almost zero. In the
early 1990s net migration rose to almost 50 thousand per year. In 1994
net migration dropped sharply to a level of 20 thousand, followed by a
further decrease in 1995. In 1996 there was a moderate increase. One
cause of the strong decline in immigration in the mid-1990s may be the
increasingly strict immigration policy. Another explanation of
fluctuations in immigration is the business cycle. A regression
analysis for the period 1973-1995 shows that there is a negative
relationship between immigration of non-Dutch nationals and the
unemployment rate in the Netherlands and a positive relationship
between emigration and the unemployment rate."

workers, both in the short run (when occupational mobility is

labor force is endogenous). The paper goes on to consider some of the
fiscal implications of illegal immigration and the related expansion of
underground activity. Effects of sanctions against employers hiring
illegal aliens and measures to legalize the status of clandestine
foreign workers are also examined." The geographical focus is on

The economic changes that occurred in Mexico during
the 1980s are described and their implications for emigration assessed.
The author notes the concentration of economic development and
population movement toward the area bordering the United States, and
the growing impoverishment of much of the rest of the country, which is
leading to either pressure to emigrate or to civil unrest. He observes
that the United States has been attempting to limit emigration while
economic pressures favoring emigration have been
increasing.

"We examine factors
that influence the process by which foreign-born persons whose mother
tongue is not English acquire English-language proficiency. We argue
that the determinants of English-language proficiency include cultural
and other traits that U.S. immigrants acquire either at birth or while
growing up in their home countries, the human capital and other
endowments they possess at the time they migrate to the United States,
and the skills and other experiences they accumulate after their
arrival in this country. Based on data from the November 1989 Current
Population Survey, our results confirm that both pre- and
post-immigration phases of the life cycle contain elements that are
associated with how well immigrants to the United States speak
English."

source for work done by women within their homes. Combination with
other nominal sources [has revealed] the role played by women in the
organization and maintenance of kin and neighborhood networks. The
approach to the Italian diaspora abroad requires the linkage of
different nominal sources at origin and in the different places of

International trade in services: a growing trend among highly
skilled migrants with special reference to Asia. Asian and Pacific
Migration Journal, Vol. 5, No. 4, 1996. 367-97 pp. Quezon City,
Philippines. In Eng.
"An essential component of trade in
services is cross-border movements of service providers....On the one
hand, there are international movements of skilled transients who
emigrate for individual reasons in a long term perspective. On the
other hand, there are skilled temporary migrants who perform services
abroad without the intention or right to settle or seek employment in
the host country. This study aims to clarify these differences using
the example provided by the Asian Pacific region. Moreover, this study
shows that the dynamics of skilled international migration is largely
determined by the circulatory movement of skills of international
service providers and has emerged as an essential component of economic
development strategy of the countries in the
region."

the urban sector and the rural sector. But the results will be opposite
to these in the non-shiftable capital

This study
looks at the growing concept of international human rights, as opposed
to human rights within nations. In particular, it examines how modern
states are handling the transnational challenges posed by international
migration. It also addresses the institutional changes taking place
within states, international organizations, and nongovernmental
entities. After discussing the development of migration policies
designed to control international migration, illegal immigration, and
guest workers, the author argues that international migration is
steadily eroding citizenship, which is the traditional basis for
nation-state membership. Increasingly, he notes, rights are being
claimed based on residency rather than citizenship, and this trend is
strengthening the development of the idea of international human
rights. The geographical focus is on Western Europe and the United
States.

extent to which immigrants `assimilate' to the receiving country's

immigrants' effects on the social welfare system." The primary
geographic focus is on the experiences of Australia, Canada, and the

The author analyzes migration
from Africa to the developed countries of the north, focusing on the
underlying logic and methods of such migration. He suggests that
Africans see migration to the northern countries as a survival strategy
and as an attempt to integrate themselves into the world economic
system. The methods employed by African migrants to circumvent the
increasing efforts to limit their numbers are described, with a focus
on their use of regulations designed to aid the reunification of
families. The author suggests that rich countries may have a moral
obligation to allow migration from Africa, since its causes lie in the
history of colonialism and the present and past exploitation of the
developing countries by those of the north.

"This paper critiques behavioral
and geographical explanations of new wave Irish emigration. It suggests
that the former traces emigration to the aspirations and social
attributes of Irish young adults, thereby locating its causes and
consequences in Irish youth enterprise culture. The latter explains
emigration in simple geographical terms, attributing it to locational
factors and Ireland's peripherality relative to the European Community.
This paper adopts a world-system perspective, arguing that Irish
emigration can be traced to the peripheral status of the Irish economy,
in the global economy....It suggests that world-system theory allows
for a political geography of emigration by recognizing the centrality
of place to the process of emigration. It also stresses the importance
of emigration in the construction and destruction of socio-economic
space."

"We present a
two-country political economic model of income redistribution with
internationally mobile labor. Migration can be exogenous and/or
endogenous (i.e., determined by labor income differentials). Political
influence is determined by the size and homogeneity of the groups,
where the latter can be affected by immigration. We show that
immigration can increase the transfers to, and the income of, the
mobile group. We also investigate the possibility of migration
regulation, tax-transfer policy competition and coordination and,
finally, coordination of regulation policies. It is shown that the
selection of any of those regimes will depend on the particular
distribution of political influence among the relevant social groups in
the two countries."

presented in terms of an increasingly complex system of civic

discriminatory exclusion alongside assertions of equal treatment. The

migration to Europe: reflux, influx, refuge. Social Science

The author presents a general analysis of migration trends in
Europe from 1945 to 1993, a period during which about 31 million
migrants and refugees crossed international borders in Western Europe.
"The essence of the account is that the first phase was one of
reflux: an ethnic European retreat from colonisation (typified by
Germans from Slavic lands, French from North Africa, Dutch from
Indonesia, and British from their colonies). The second was influx:
worker immigration caused by expanding economies and aging populations
(typified by Turks to Germany, Algerians to France, West Indians and

Immigrants out! The new nativism and the anti-immigrant impulse in
the United States. ISBN 0-8147-6627-7. LC 96-25258. 1997. xv, 342
pp. New York University Press: New York, New York/London, England. In
Eng.
This is a collection of studies by various authors giving an
interdisciplinary review of nativism, or anti-immigrant attitudes, in
the United States. The 18 contributions are divided into six parts.
"Part I introduces the twin themes developed throughout this book,
the historical context that enables an understanding of present
nativism, and the critical assessment of the symbolism and langauge of
our discourse on nativism, immigration, and citizenship....Part II
identifies the new nativism, its features and effects....Part III
discusses the complex causation of the nativism....Part IV places the
new nativism in historical context, enabling striking comparisons
between what we know to have been nativism before and what we can
confidently identify as nativism now....Part V discusses the new
nativism and the significance of borders, national and
ideological....The final part analyzes the discourse of nativism,
citizenship, and community membership in the United
States."

International migration and international trade. In: Handbook
of population and family economics, edited by Mark R. Rosenzweig and
Oded Stark. 1997. 851-87 pp. Elsevier Science Publishers: Amsterdam,
Netherlands. In Eng.
This chapter attempts to combine the
literature concerning international trade and international migration
into a consistent analytical framework. "Section 2 explains how
different trade models account for either substitution or
complementarity patterns between labor mobility and commodity
trade....In Section 3 we analyze some dissimilarities between capital
mobility and labor mobility, which can break down the substitution
between the flows of labor and capital driven by the underlying
international distribution of relative endowments....Section 4
[presents] a benchmark framework in which all people are treated alike.
This framework enables us to characterize the global dispersion of
population. Section 5 identifies welfare gains and losses to the major
participants in the migration process....Section 6 considers a
two-skill model within which we examine the role of wage rigidity in
explaining resistance towards inmigration. Section 7 considers the
social burden brought by migration onto the modern welfare state, as
another important anti-migration force. Section 8 concludes our
survey."

M. Culture, race, and the economic assimilation of
immigrants. Sociological Forum, Vol. 12, No. 2, Jun 1997. 233-77
pp. New York, New York. In Eng.
"The economic assimilation of
European-origin immigrants is fairly rapid but selectively culture
contingent; the economic assimilation of racial minority immigrants is
less rapid and less culture contingent. Regression analysis of survey
data examines occupational status and earnings effects of eight ethnic
attachments among men and women in seven ethnic and racial minorities
in mainstream and enclave employment in Toronto (N=1,792), controlling
for foreign and domestically acquired human capital. Assimilationist
pressures that the survey showed to be widely perceived may apply more
to Europeans than to racial minorities. Economic assimilation is
affected when `forgiveness' is most pronounced: very selectively for
European immigrants and universally for racial minorities treated as
`foreign', presumably based on skin color, regardless of specific
culture, identity, behaviors, or network
affiliations."

London, England. In Eng.
"The phenomenon of individual
migration from Paraguay to Argentina is examined. This work
differentiates itself from the substantial literature that already
exists on Latin American migration in three important ways. First, it
focuses particular attention on the issue of urban-urban as compared to
rural-rural or rural-urban migration. Second, the data examined are
derived from household interviews rather than from national censuses.
The database for the study is a set of over 1,200 interviews conducted
with Paraguayan families from September 1983 to May 1984. Half of the
sample consists of families residing in Asunción, Paraguay and
half of families residing in Buenos Aires. A one-equation logistic
regression model is specified that discriminates between the two
samples as a function of demographic and occupational
variables."

"This article describes the
development of an economic migration from Poland to Greece and the
creation of a migrant community in Athens. It presents the development
of a new migration route by political immigrants. It then describes how
the Polish political emigrants heading for Greece in the mid-1980s
established the pillar institutions which were inherited by the Polish
undocumented workers who have followed, and which have served the
latter well. The article proceeds to highlight the work milieu of the
Polish undocumented workers in Athens, and discusses the role played by
the `Polish church', i.e., the Roman Catholic church to which Poles
were given access. It concludes by considering the future prospects of
this migration and of the Polish migrant community in
Greece."

"This paper is
part of a larger project investigating the production and regulation of

aims are twofold. First, to reverse the emphasis placed on immigrants
in the receiving countries and to (re-)explore the historical
production of Algerian emigration into metropolitan industry, more
specifically within the automobile industry....Second, in adopting an
`articulation of modes of production' (AMOP) narrative as an
alternative to other Eurocentric approaches, the first part of this
paper emphasizes the contradictory layering of various modes which have
produced an Algerian colonial diaspora. The latter half of the paper
argues that the history of post-independence Algeria confirms that
emigration was reinforced through a complex neocolonial relationship
during a period of rapid acceleration of Algerian migration to
France."

Immigration in the world economy. [Die Immigration in der

1995. 261-84 pp. Frankfurt, Germany. In Ger. with sum. in Eng.
"Immigration is at least partly an outcome of the actions of
the governments and major private economic actors of the developed
countries. The case of Japan is of interest here because it allows us
to capture the intersection of economic internationalization and
immigration in its inception....This paper argues that [Japan's] new
immigration is part of the globalisation of [its] economy. Japan is a
major presence in a regional Asian economic system where it is the
leading investor, foreign aid donor, and exporter of consumer goods
(including cultural products). The new immigration to Japan is not
unrelated to these processes of internationalization.
Internationalization provides a context within which bridges are built
with the countries of origin of potential emigrants and
internationalization contributes to make the Japanese economy more
porous, particularly so in the case of large
cities."

The author
examines the contemporary Norwegian media debate on immigration and
presents several examples illustrating the difference between an
analytical and utopian approach to the issues. "Examples of
analytical antagonism, not acceptable to utopians, are the
contradiction between the idea of a `multicultural society' and
specific cultural conditions for a common community, between claiming
full integration of immigrants and at the same time full respect for an
alien culture, and certain assumptions about immigrant culture as
harmonious expression of the interests of all immigrants. When the
program for full integration fails, this is often explained as an
effect of assumed racist attitudes in the population. Contemporary
radical mass mobilization against racism and fascism may possibly
disguise public attention to more real totalitarian challenges to our
civilization."

Current and
possible future trends in emigration from Poland are analyzed using
data from a recent survey of migration intentions and the
characteristics of potential and actual emigrants. Three alternative
scenarios are considered, based on different assumptions concerning
economic developments in Poland, and estimates of total emigration
varying from 1 to 3 million for the period 1991-2010 are presented. The
author notes that emigrants tend to be better off materially, have a
stronger desire for personal happiness, and have less strong feelings
about their native country than nonmigrants. It is concluded that
emigration, though substantial, will not reach catastrophic levels, and
that economic developments in Poland's private sector should create job
opportunities that will reduce the outflow of better qualified, younger
workers.

experience such as an individual's past history of migration, the
motivations for moving, the amount of time involved in the move, and
the distance traveled during the move have an effect on short and
long-term neighborhood attachment patterns independent of residential
stability and investment predictors. The findings imply that
psychosocial factors such as familiarity with the environment,
increased premove exposure to the new environment, and perceived
control during instances of transition have some impact on individuals'
postmove attitudes and behaviors, and suggest that researchers should
look beyond traditional `types of people' explanations of urban
neighborhood attachment."

studies suggest that it is possible to identify a range of conditions
in which migration has come to variously supplement, subsidize or
substitute for village agriculture. Indeed they suggest that migration
is a supplement to agriculture and non-agriculture activities in richer
regions, a subsidy for agriculture and non-agriculture activities in
mid-income regions, and a substitute for agriculture in poor and remote
regions. In all the villages studied the farmers themselves have
concluded that agriculture is an unprofitable, unattractive and even
redundant economic activity."

article is a step toward understanding the nature of the

Underutilized tabulations from the 1989 census and national statistical
data on characteristics of provinces were explored to gain insights
into the roles of development in interprovincial migration within a
context of institutional intervention. The overall results of OLS
regression indicate that more developed provinces attracted higher
volumes of inmigrants, whereas less developed provinces produced more
outmigrants, other things being equal. Most of the migrants, especially
females, moved to more urbanized and industrialized areas, regardless
of their origin home provinces....The study results suggest the
importance of interpreting population movement in Vietnam within the
broader context of its current transition to a market
economy."

"Based on the argument that values and expectations

migration-related values and expectations, and whether they are
intervening factors in explaining intentions to move among residents of
rural northeast Thailand. Data from the 1992 National Migration Survey
of Thailand identify four migration-related value-expectancy
dimensions: income, affiliation, stimulation, and comfort. Logistic
regression analysis shows that landownership and being married are
associated with higher expectations, while a diversified village
economy, a village economy development program, and a younger and
extended household structure are associated with lower expectations of
attaining valued goals in the local rural village. The analysis also
shows that value-expectancy concepts are only partial intervening
explanations for intentions to move or
stay."

"In this article we take advantage
of the differing racial environments of the northern and southern
United States to examine the behavior of racial attitudes in response
to changes in adult political context. Specifically, we ask whether
white adults who move from the more racially conservative South to the
more racially liberal North (or vice versa) maintain the racial
attitudes they developed as adolescents, or whether these interregional
migrants embrace the racial views of their new neighbors. We also
examine differences in the persistence of different kinds of racial
attitudes in response to the same changes in racial-political
environment, allowing us to draw some lessons regarding the
applicability of alternative theoretical understandings to different
dimensions of racial attitudes."

Internal migration in Kenya, 1979-1989. [Les migrations

An analysis of internal migration in Kenya
over the course of the 1980s is presented using data from the censuses
of 1979 and 1989. In view of the problems concerning the quality of
census data, particularly in the 1989 census, the author uses indirect
methods to estimate migration at the district level. "The analysis
of net migration not only puts forward some weaknesses in the last
census, particularly an underevaluation of the population which varies
according to the district, but also provides information on the
migration processes involved in Kenya. New types of migration appeared
in the 80s: return migration at young age, and settlement migration,
involving whole households, towards less and less hospitable
areas."

Internal migration in developed countries. In: Handbook of
population and family economics, edited by Mark R. Rosenzweig and Oded
Stark. 1997. 647-720 pp. Elsevier Science Publishers: Amsterdam,
Netherlands. In Eng.
This chapter examines the literature on the
causes and consequences of internal migration in developed countries.
It considers such questions as who migrates, where such migrants come
from and where are they going, when they migrate, and what consequences
result. The impact of unemployment on the migration of both the
unemployed and those seeking new jobs is emphasized. The author also
suggests that factors other than earnings, such as location-specific
amenities, tax structures, and leisure, need to be taken into account
in the analysis of such migration. The subject of return migration is
also addressed. Finally, the relations between migration and the
occurrence of demographic events, such as the birth and aging of
children, changes in marital status, and retirement, are
examined.

of the U.S. nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.
Empirical results suggest that the repository may influence
employment-related migration, but probably not retirement
migration."

C. Independent and linked migrants: determinants of
African American interstate migration. Growth and Change, Vol. 28,
No. 3, Summer 1997. 309-34 pp. Malden, Massachusetts. In Eng.
"Through kinship and other links to destinations, many African
American interstate migrants in the United States join other people in
destination households. These `linked' migrants contrast to
`independent migrants' who move as individuals or intact groups and set
up their own households at the destination. Using U.S. Census Public
Use Micro Sample data, this paper first shows that, in the 1985-90
period, about 45 percent of all Black interstate migrants were
independent, compared to 38 percent who were linked to housing at the
destination and 17 percent who moved into group quarters. Second, a
multinomial logit model, incorporating individual and state-level
variables, is specified that contrasts the determinants of independent
and linked migration.... It is concluded that the understanding of
Black migration must take into account a variety of factors beyond
traditional labor market conditions, including links to the destination
and individual housing circumstances."

The remainder of the chapter is then divided into four. Section 2 is
about the causes of migration--earnings opportunities and job search,
information and financing, family strategies and the contextual
setting, and displaced persons. Section 3 takes up the economic
consequences of internal migration--the direct and indirect effects of
rural emigration on rural production, the overall effects upon national
product in the light of various market pathologies, and the much
disputed consequences for income inequality. In the light of the
foregoing sections, Section 4 [reviews] the literature on policy

The influence of demographic and economic
cycles on the migration propensities given in the migration age
schedule is examined. Following a review of the relevant literature,
the author examines "the influence of generation size on the
migration intensities seen in a cohort (longitudinal) migration
schedule and that of economic conditions on the intensities of a period
(cross-sectional) migration schedule. [The author also specifies] a
model that incorporates both cohort and period effects in order to
understand their relative importance in shaping the migration schedule.
Empirical analyses based on [U.S.] Current Population Survey data for
the 1949-1993 period reveal that the level of the migration schedule is
sensitive to demographic and economic cycles, with the effect of
generation size being relatively more
influential."

"Equality indexes used in other geographical
contexts may be used to gauge the degree of spatial focusing in an
entire migration system or within the gross in- and out-migration
fields of specific regions. They provide useful indicators of overall
shifts in the patterns of interregional migration and can help give
insight into the population redistributive roles played by specific
regions. Perhaps the most common equality index used to measure income
distribution is the Gini coefficient, yet it appears almost never to
have been applied in migration research. In this paper we set forth a
variety of Gini indexes to be used for different migration analyses and
illustrate their application with recent data on U.S. interstate
movements. We argue that the Gini index provides some singularly useful
insights that differ from those afforded by other measures more
commonly found to date in the migration analyst's
toolkit."

"Independently conducted yet complemetary sets of data from
the 1970/1971 and 1990 National Jewish Population Surveys and the U.S.
censuses of the same years were used to analyze changes in the internal
migration of Jews and whites during the periods 1965-1970 (1971) and
1985-1990. Interstate lifetime and five-year migration rates among Jews
increased to levels significantly surpassing those of whites. Adjusting
Jewish migration rates for the educational achievement of their white
counterparts did not have much of an effect on lifetime migration or on
the recent migration of the 1970/1971 Jewish population; however, it
accounted meaningfully for the migration propensities of Jews in the
period 1985-1990. These findings suggest that socioeconomic status has
begun to play a larger role in promoting different migration patterns
than in promoting ethnic group differences. Further, the direction of
Jewish migrations followed those of whites (i.e., from the Northeast
and Midwest to the South and West); and due to their higher migration
rates, Jews have considerably narrowed the regional distribution
differences between themselves and whites. I interpret these results as
evidence of the weakening role of ethnicity in present-day
America."

"The purpose of this article
is to place Chinese labor migration from agriculture within the context
of the literature on labor mobility in developing countries by
comparing it to undocumented Mexican migration to the United States.
The similarities fall within three general areas: the migration
process, the economic and social position of migrants at their
destination, and the agrarian structure and process of agricultural
development that has perpetuated circular migration. The last section
of the article draws upon these similarities, as well as differences
between the two countries, to generate predictions concerning the
development of labor migration in China."

develops a theoretical model of refugee migration that builds on

empirically tests this model in order to assess the role played by
generalized structural factors in the formation of forced
migration." The data come from the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the U.S. Committee for Refugees
(USCR). "The results suggest that, first, measures of
institutional human rights violations have weaker predictive power than
do measures of generalized violence. Second, civil wars with foreign
military interventions are more important in producing large refugee
populations and prolonged migrations than are civil wars without
outside influence. Third, ethnic rebellion is important as a cause of
small refugee migrations, but cannot significantly predict mass exodus.
Finally, economic and intervening variables have little impact on
predicting refugee migration."

effect of an uncertain environment on migration and re-migration plans

size of the wage differential as well as the relative risk the migrant

paper deals with recent migration of the suburban population in order
to explain the causes and types of demographic growth in this type of
environment. Decongestion of the Paris urban area is responsible for
nearly three quarters of new suburban dwellers....The occupational
distribution of recent in-migrants to the suburbs also varied
significantly in different geographical areas and selection effects
have reinforced the existing specificity of various
sectors."

"The paper reports on a
sociological research project carried out in 1990 on migration of rural
populations to Moscow. Field research was conducted in several regions
of origin--Kursk, Kostroma, Orel and Vologda--and among Muscovites who
had migrated from these regions. The study found that often the living
conditions in Moscow were worse than those the migrants had experienced
in the rural home villages. Yet the interviewers found that migrants
did not want to return. The paper then examines the sociological
profile of possible return migrants, concluding that any probability of
such reverse flow would depend on improving health, education and
social infrastructure in the rural areas."

migration and counterurbanization in the European periphery: the case
of Andalucía. Sociologia Ruralis, Vol. 37, No. 1, Apr 1997.

The extent to which
counterurbanization is affecting rural population dynamics in southern
Europe is explored using the example of Andalucía, Spain.
"The purpose of this paper is to ask, in the context of
Andalucía, whether an emergent counterurbanization trend is
evident in a traditional area of rural population decline in southern
Europe. More broadly, it raises questions about whether the concept
counterurbanization helps or hinders our understanding of rural
migration."

"This paper is
an attempt to analyze the process of rural-urban migration based on the
data relating to the `Place of Birth' for Andhra Pradesh [India]. The
specific objective of this study is to present a rigorous economic
analysis of the process of inter-district rural-urban male migration as
seen from 1971 migration data. With the help of a simple model...the
direction and magnitude of relationships between selected explanatory
variables and migration have been
identified."

Rural-to-urban migration and its implications for poverty
alleviation. Asia-Pacific Population Journal, Vol. 12, No. 1, Mar
1997. 3-16 pp. Bangkok, Thailand. In Eng.
"This article
discusses whether rural-to-urban migration can improve the well-being
of the rural areas of origin of migration [in the ESCAP region] or
impoverish those areas because of the exodus to urban centres while
pauperizing the migrants who move to the cities. It also considers the
gender implications of migration in terms of the experience of women
migrants and those left behind. It concludes by drawing out policy
implications of the impact of rural-to-urban migration on poverty
alleviation."

Rural-urban migration and socioeconomic development in Ghana: some
discussions. Journal of Social Development in Africa, Vol. 10, No.
2, 1995. 13-22 pp. Harare, Zimbabwe. In Eng.
"This article
considers the situation regarding rural-urban migration within Ghana,
suggesting that migration has the effect of precipitating major social
and behavioural change. The nature of Ghanaian urbanisation is examined
together with the motivational factors that cause many to leave their
rural homes. A distinction is made between those `committed urbanites'
who readily adapt to urban life and the `situational urbanites' who
experience greater problems in adjustment to the city. Following this
discussion certain policy implications are then examined, including
that of fertility control, models of development and protection of the
status of the rural communities in the face of a `brain drain' to urban
areas."

urban migrants--the public policy challenge. Pacific Affairs, Vol.
67, No. 3, Fall 1994. 335-55 pp. Vancouver, Canada. In Eng.
"Since the mid-1980s, urban migrants have emerged as a new
status group in Chinese society. This study examines the complexity of
urban migration from the angle of public policy with the aim of
presenting an overview of the current situation regarding urban
migrants. The focus of the paper is on the challenges that migrants
pose to the state and civil society and the policy responses adopted
during the period from the late 1980s to 1993. The paper first analyzes
the problems and contributions brought by urban migrants. Second, using
Guangdong as an example, the paper examines the measures taken by state
agencies and their effectiveness. The final section discusses the
problems and prospects related to urban migration. The paper concludes
that current policy is plainly inadequate and that urban migrants are
still relegated to the margins of Chinese society. It is argued that
unless their claims are recognized, urban migrants are likely to remain
a thorn in governance and a threat to social
stability."

"This paper seeks to analyze the social background of
rural migrants and patterns of rural outmigration in post-Mao China. In
the following, I will first discuss the data for this study. Next, I
will briefly examine the Chinese government's policies on
rural-to-urban migration and the general patterns of population
movement since the early 1950s. Then I will study the dynamics of rural
outmigration, analyze the data, and present findings. I will conclude
this study with some thoughts on rural migration in post-Mao
China." The data are from a large-scale survey conducted in 222
villages in 1986-1987.
