Robin. Improving distance estimates between areal units in
migration models. Geographical Analysis, Vol. 29, No. 2, Apr 1997.
93-107 pp. Columbus, Ohio. In Eng.
"There are many methods of
modeling migrant flows within a set of areal units, but it is common in
most to incorporate some measure of distance as an explanatory
variable. These distances are effectively meant to represent the
typical distance between pairs of areas that would be traveled by
potential migrants. They are usually calculated between
population-weighted centroids derived for each zone. It is argued here
that this method of calculating distance is biased and that the zonal
system used will influence the final model parameters that are intended
to describe the underlying migration process.... This paper describes
an alternative method of calculating these distances which reduces this
bias."

"There is no attempt here to provide a comprehensive review of all
population movement in Indonesia but to focus on two types of movement
which have increased greatly in significance in recent years--rural to
urban mobility and international labour migration. Recent developments
in these types of population movement in Indonesia are discussed and
some of their causes and consequences addressed in the context of the
rapid economic and social change occurring in
Indonesia."

Primary, return and onward migration in the U.S. and Canada: is

Canada, this paper contrasts primary, return and onward migration in
the two countries. These classifications are based on information on
the region (state or province) of birth and region of residence at the
start and end of the census period. To study the propensities to make a
primary, return or onward migration, rates are calculated...and
compared with previous census periods. Analysis reveals that both
countries have experienced similar temporal patterns, and that primary,
return and onward migration patterns tend to be similar. Analysis using
a nested logit model further reveals that return and onward migration
in both countries can be similarly explained." Data are from the

Factors contributing to the
growing potential for large-scale migration to Europe from the
Mediterranean countries in Northern Africa and Western Asia are
analyzed. These include a high rate of population growth, a growth in
the potential labor force, low levels of development, and perceptions
of the differences in wealth between the two regions. Added to this,
the author suggests that the uncertain political situation in many of
the countries of origin and the weakening demographic trends in the
countries of destination increase the pressures for migration. The
author concludes that a new approach to these problems, integrating
population policies and development strategies, is
required.

This is a
study of recent immigration to Germany, with the focus on the extent to
which immigration has served as a catalyst for political change.
Chapter 1 traces the history of immigration to Germany and discusses
the number and characteristics of immigrants. Chapter 2 examines the
political effects of German return migration to Germany following World
War II. Chapter 3 uses opinion polls and survey data to show how
questions about non-German immigrants have become more politically
relevant over time. Chapter 4 examines the impact of immigration on the
German political system. Chapter 5 looks at the reaction of established
parties both to the violence directed against foreigners and to the
electoral success of the New Right, and Chapter 6 shows that, despite
the decline in New Right support, the established parties still have
not solved the political difficulties associated with
immigration.

This study examines
migration from Northern Africa to the European Union in the context of
the growing concern in Europe about the potential for rising levels of
such migration, and the need for policies in response to those
concerns. The author examines trans-Mediterranean migration in its
political context, and makes clear that there are no easy ways to
manage and control such international movements. She does, however,
suggest that current policies in receiving countries are inadequate in
that they are limited to attempts to impose controls on immigration and
to provide financial aid to developing countries as a measure of
compensation for such controls. The need for better policies that
involve both sending and receiving countries is
stressed.

An attempt is made
to provide estimates of net annual undocumented immigration to
California for the period 1980-1993. The author uses a residual method
based on analysis of the annual components of population change to
prepare the estimates. The results indicate that there were
considerable fluctuations in the flow of migrants over time, and that
these changes were related to changes in the state's economy and to
policy interventions, such as the Immigration Reform and Control Act of
1986. They suggest that, in the 1980s alone, the state gained over 6
million new residents, and that between 22 and 31 percent of these
newcomers were illegal immigrants.

This book presents a history of immigration to Canada from the
sixteenth century to the present day. Its purpose is "to describe
briefly the different kinds of immigrants who have settled in this
country over the centuries and the immigration policies that have
helped to define the character of immigration in various periods.
Special attention will be paid to some of the key policy-makers and
moulders of public opinion who have helped to shape these policies.
And, because racism frequently plays a role in the Canadian immigration
story, it will also be discussed, as will the effectiveness of various
policies in achieving Canada's immigration goals. The last part of the
book will touch on some of the realities of the 1990s that influence
the framing of immigration policy and try to make some sense of the
current debate about this country's immigration and multiculturalism
policies."

Black African immigration to France: toward an ethnic
approach. [L'immigration noire africaine en France: pour une
approche ethnique.] Migrations Société, Vol. 9, No. 49,
Jan-Feb 1997. 5-25 pp. Paris, France. In Fre.
An analysis of
immigrants to France from Sub-Saharan Africa is presented using data
from the 1992 survey Mobilité Géographique et Insertion
Sociale, which included interviews with 875 immigrants. The focus is on
the ethnic characteristics of these immigrants and on the differences
in socioeconomic characteristics among the various ethnic groups. The
effect of these characteristics on the process of assimilation is also
discussed.

Company, New York, NY. In Eng.
This is a study of contemporary
illegal migration from China to the United States, with a focus on the
recent increase in migration from Fujian province. The author suggests
that the problem of illegal migration can only be understood in the
context of the underlying supply-and-demand principle enshrined in the
traditional U.S. economic system, and that the solution lies not in
tightening immigration controls but in changing the economic conditions
in the United States that give rise to the demand for cheap immigrant
labor. The need to reduce the potential for conflict between new
immigrants and the native labor force is
stressed.

"Increase of absorption of employment is caused by emigration of
[the] productive population and by emergence of [a] shortage of
[available jobs]. Migration of [the] work force is seen as a profitable
process: a part of earned money and goods was transferred to workers'
families in their countries of origin."

This work consists of a
detailed study of four distinct immigrant groups in Spain: migrants
from Gambia, the Dominican Republic, Cape Verde, and Morocco. The first
chapter deals with the situation in the four countries of immigrant
origin, examining the impact of migration on the sending communities.
Next, the author studies the social organization of immigration and
migration networks. The process of assimilation into the workforce in
Spain is then analyzed, with separate consideration given to domestic
service, travelling vendors, agriculture, and mining. A final chapter
examines policy issues and some of the theories and ideologies relevant
to the immigration debate.

Mexico. Social Science Quarterly, Vol. 79, No. 1, Mar 1998. 1-34
pp. Austin, Texas. In Eng.
The impact of international migration on
economic development in the country of origin is examined with data on
30 Mexican communities and U.S. destination areas using event history
analysis. The results indicate that the receipt of U.S. earnings by
households and communities significantly increases the odds of business
formation and productive investment. "The fact that migrant-owned
businesses are generally small retail ventures that generate little
employment reflects generalized conditions of opportunity in Mexico,
not a debility resulting from the migration process itself. U.S.
migration is an important factor promoting business formation by
migrants and nonmigrants alike." Comments are included by Jorge A.
Bustamante (pp. 21-2), John M. Hart (pp. 23-5), and Philip Martin (pp.

This study of
immigration to California has two main purposes. "It goes back to
1960, before the current era of large-scale immigration began, and
looks systematically at how immigration has interacted with other
demographic and economic trends over the subsequent decades to affect
the state. It also examines how immigrants from different countries of
origin are faring in their pursuit of the American dream. Finally, it
identifies the challenges that California faces in integrating its
newcomers and their children and how federal and state policies might
maximize the benefits and minimize the costs of immigration in the
future."

This book
presents a portrait of the immigrant community in the United States,
concentrating on immigrants from developing countries and their
contributions to their country of destination. Rather than attempting
to assess the costs and benefits of immigration from a macroeconomic
perspective, the author looks at how immigration fosters certain
business strategies and synergies. He examines how the twin promises of
human freedom and market opportunities in the United States combine to
attract talent from overseas, and how that talent is having a positive
effect on the lives of Americans in general. The author suggests that
the solution to the problem of immigration is to encourage the
assimilation of immigrants into the American mainstream as quickly as
possible rather than to build barriers against
immigration.

This book presents an analysis of the characteristics of the
current immigrant population in the United States. Having briefly
examined the origins of immigration, the authors identify four main
types of immigrants, which are labor migrants, professional immigrants,
entrepreneurial immigrants, and refugees and asylum seekers. They
"delineate the basic contours of contemporary immigration by
focusing on major aspects of the adaptation experience. The emphasis
throughout is on diversity in both the immigrants' origins and their
modes of incorporation into American society. The typology
outlined...serves as the basic organizing framework as we follow
immigrants through their location in space, their strategies for
economic mobility, their efforts at learning a language and a new
culture, their decision to embrace the country as naturalized citizens,
and their struggle to raise their children in America and, inevitably,
as Americans."

Recent trends in emigration from
Turkey are explored. The author notes that Turkish emigrants have
developed substantial networks that are both political and religious in
nature, and extend over a wide geographical area centering on Germany.
The various ethnic and religious subgroups of Turkish emigrants are
supported in their countries of residence by these interconnected
networks. In the light of this complicated scenario, the author
questions the relevance of the concept of a diaspora to the study of
emigration from Turkey.

This is an analysis of emigration from Spain during the period
1880-1930. The author places this emigration in the context of
migration trends in Europe as a whole, and then identifies and
describes regional differences in emigration patterns within Spain
itself. The development of migration chains and networks is identified
as a critical factor affecting the regional characteristics of
migration. Emigration is also shown to be an essential ingredient of
family survival in regions where landholdings were generally small. The
author also notes that the growth of large cities within Spain
eventually provided an alternative to
emigration.

"The idea of
an economically integrated Arab world has been part of the region's
political discourse for decades. While the idea is compelling to many,
the Middle East is, in some ways, one of the least integrated regions
in the world, despite decades of attempts to give economic meaning to
the notion of Arab unity. The major exception is labor mobility where
intra-regional migration flows have been extensive in recent decades.
Remittances from migrant labor now exceed the value of regional trade
in goods as well as official capital flows. This paper explores the
characteristics of economic integration in the Middle East and analyzes
why labor flows have been the major channel through which
intra-regional economic ties have been
forged."

Switzerland. In Eng. with sum. in Fre; Spa.
"The article
explores the widespread assumption that immigration to Israel is a
unique phenomenon which differs structurally from migration to other
places. This assumption stems from the view that migrants to other
destinations generally leave a place they consider home to find a new
home. In terms of the Israeli construction, Jews have been `strangers'
in their countries of origin and seek to find a new home by means of
migration.... The article considers evidence that shows that in the
1980s and 1990s, Israel is becoming more like other Western countries
which admit large numbers of refugees, asylum seekers, foreign workers,
persons seeking family unification and diaspora
migrants."

relationships between immigration, farm employment, poverty, and

tests the hypothesis that expanding labor-intensive agriculture creates
a negative externality by drawing large numbers of workers from Mexico,
offering many of them poverty-level earnings, and increasing public
assistance use in rural towns. Econometric findings reveal a circular
relationship between farm employment and immigration. An additional 100
farm jobs are associated with 136 more immigrants, 139 more poor
residents, and 79 more people receiving welfare benefits in rural
towns. An additional 100 immigrants, in turn, are associated with 37
more farm jobs. Most of the impact of farm employment on poverty is
indirect, through immigration."

on components for estimating legal migration in 1980-1989 and on the
foreign-born population in 1990. Positing ranges for net undocumented
immigration, between 2 million and 4 million undocumented residents may
have been counted in the 1990 census. The total number of undocumented
residents may have been as high as 6
million."

In Eng.
"This paper examines trends and cross-national
variation in the active demand for immigration to the United States in
the period of 1984-1993, using data from the Visa Office and various
other sources. The analysis is restricted to legal immigration in
numerically limited categories. The results show that the total number
of active immigrant visa applicants steadily increased in the aggregate
and in each of the preference categories. Moreover, the active demand
for immigration was highly skewed, with the majority of applications
coming from a dozen countries: Mexico, the Philippines, India, mainland
China, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, El
Salvador, Jamaica, Hong Kong, and Pakistan. Most of these
highly-backlogged countries displayed a significant increase in the
growth rate of demand for immigration. The paper also shows a
substantial cross-national variation in the active demand for
immigration and explores its structural determinants. The regression
results indicate that the level of economic development in sending
countries and U.S. economic and cultural relations with sending
countries play important roles in the determination process. Policy
implications of the findings are also
discussed."

The author explores the potential negative effects of
large-scale immigration on the democratic functioning of modern
European countries, whose political systems were generally not set up
to take such migration into account. These effects could include a
disruption of the traditional balance between business and labor, the
weakening of social welfare, and increased burdens on educational
systems. The extent to which it is possible for a democratic state to
control immigration flows is considered. In the author's opinion, the
fear that immigrant communities will bring a new wave of fundamentalism
into Europe, disrupting the secular character of European institutions
and threatening the homogeneity of the political culture, is not
justified. She argues that bringing immigrants into the political
process as soon as possible will minimize the likelihood of serious
problems.

detailed generalization about migration processes such as
suburbanization, counterurbanization, intra-urban mobility, rural
depopulation and the relationship between housing and demographic
change at the local level. Unlike migration flows over long distances,
which are often employment related, these flows are primarily motivated
by residential requirements and housing type and growth are identified
as key variables in the interpretation of these migration
patterns."

continued to contribute to the geographical redistribution of the black
population down the urban hierarchy during the 1980s. Analyses of black
migration flows into six metropolitan areas suggest that liberal
welfare benefits play, at best, a minor role in contemporary black
population redistribution trends, kinship ties (i.e., location-specific
capital), the search for affordable housing, and employment in the
hospitality services industry appear to be the dominant forces
influencing black migration into the case-study

to be smaller than that for elderly stayers. It also demonstrates the

compared with 8.6 for the country as a whole. The many incentives for
people to move to this region that existed under the Soviet regime have
been abolished, and this has led to out-migration. The region's rate of
economic growth has also declined significantly in recent years. There
has been a 10 percent decline in the size of the region's population
since 1991.

their peak migration rate in the young-adult years has steadily moved

migration were identified. While the majority of migrants are satisfied
with their relocation to the `sun-belt', 30 per cent of migrants were
contemplating further long-distance migration, including return
migration. The study also confirms the need for migration studies to

"The relationship
between migration experience and family patterns among residents of the

observed between duration of residence in the North or West and family
stability among African Americans. Although selective return migration
to the South contributes to this association, it can account for only a
minor part of the variation in family patterns by migration history. It
is concluded that there is no evidence to support previous assumptions
that southern migrants carried a dysfunctional family culture with them
to the North and West, and thereby destabilized the nonsouthern African
American family."

using foreign-policy instruments in an effort to change the conditions

One cannot expect that immigrants from different countries of origin
will display a uniform pattern of return migration, even controlling
for observable individual differences. A major determinant of migration
flows will be the development of the German economy itself. If the
economic attractiveness of Germany in comparison to the migrants'
sending countries is retained, migration will be of a more permanent
nature. If it fades, large emigration streams can be expected."

"Rural-urban migration has
been modeled by both demographers and economists since the 1960s.
Little regard has been given by either discipline for the other's
models.... The purpose of this paper is to address this void in the
African context. We examine three hypotheses: (1) that variables
explaining the net urban in-migration rates vary with the age of the
migrants; (2) that changes in the availability of services in urban
areas [are] a factor in migration; and (3) that cohort structures (age
pyramids) are also part of the
explanation."

The aim of
this study is to analyze migration volume and streams to Bangkok,
Thailand, with a focus on labor migration. Social and economic
characteristics of migrants are compared, and changes in migrant
employment between the growing season and the off-season are examined.
Income levels of migrants and nonmigrants are considered. Extensive
statistical data are provided.
