estimating the net effects of migration on income distribution.
Journal of Development Economics, Vol. 55, No. 2, Apr 1998. 307-31 pp.
Amsterdam, Netherlands. In Eng.
"This paper examines the net
effects of migration and remittances on income distribution. Potential
home earnings of migrants are imputed, as are the earnings of
non-migrants in migrant households, in order to construct no-migration
counterfactuals to compare with the observed income distribution
including remittances. The earnings functions used to impute migrant
home earnings are estimated from observations on non-migrants in a
selection-corrected estimation framework which incorporates migration
choice and labor-force participation decisions. For a sample of
households in Bluefields, Nicaragua, migration and remittances increase
income inequality when compared with the no-migration
counterfactual."

This book examines migration as a
response of workers to a system that excludes them from the profits of
the world's productivity. There are chapters on immigration from the
viewpoint of rich and poor countries, the fallacy of trusting the
market to provide for the common good, migration throughout history and
in the present, the mobility of factors in economic production, and
migration and its alternatives.

Temporary and more permanent rural-urban migration in
Thailand. Population Research Institute Working Paper, No. 97-05,
Mar 1997. [18] pp. Pennsylvania State University, Population Research
Institute: University Park, Pennsylvania. In Eng.
"Drawing on
the theory of planned behavior from social psychology and micro-level
empirical migration research, this study develops a general model of
migration decision-making and tests this model using longitudinal data
from the National Migration Survey of Thailand. Logistic regression
model results show that migration intentions are significant
decision-making predictors of more permanent but not temporary
out-migration behavior. Supporting the theory of planned behavior,
value-expectancy measures are important predictors of migration
intentions but have no effect on migration behavior, net the effect of
migration intentions.... Temporary migration is associated with
household income needs, while more permanent out-migration is
determined by social roles and community economic
context."

first half of the twentieth century, the first flow of foreign migrants
appeared in the [1970s]. This substitution of migratory origin is
related to a reconfiguration of the immigrants' geographic polarity of
settlements and in their economic role. Based on various statistical
indicators and bibliographic references, this paper provides some
essential elements for the understanding of the migratory complexity of
this space."

"Germany is
today, along with the USA and Russia, one of the three most important
immigration countries worldwide. The authors examine how the immigrant
population of Germany has risen despite the fact that the German
government has sought to restrict it. They analyse six major streams of
migration: refugees and expellees who came immediately after World War
II, German resettlers from Eastern Europe (`Aussiedler'), emigration of
(West) Germans, migration between East and West Germany, foreign labour
migrants and asylum seekers. The dynamics of immigration within each of
these channels was remarkably different. As far as absorption and
integration are concerned the authors argue that different groups of
immigrants should be treated more equally."

This volume is a
product of a meeting held in Coimbra, Portugal, in November 1994 to
examine some aspects of current international migration trends
affecting the countries of Europe. The focus of the meeting was on
comparing the main features of immigration in the new countries of
in-migration with those in traditional European receiving countries.
Part I has four papers on migration determinants and political turmoil:
South-North migration to Europe in the post 1980s, by Catherine Wihtol
de Wenden; Trends in the 90's-- the Portuguese migratory experience, by
Maria I. Baganha and João Peixoto; Current migration trends in
Greece, by Ross Fakiolas; and An unexpected encounter--immigrant labour
and economic structure in the North of Italy, by Maurizio Ambrosini.
Part II has four papers focusing on whether these immigrants can be
considered guests or residents and the related policy issues:
Boundaries, margins and migrants--on paradigm shifts, heterogeneity and
culture wars, by João A. Nunes; Immigration--the cultural and
anthropological aspects of a case in European disintegration, by Guido
Bolaffi; Discours integrationniste et société
réelle [The integrationist debate and social realities], by
Albano Cordeiro; and The Portuguese immigration policy and the new
European order, by José Leitão. A final paper by Lydio F.
Tomasi and Mark J. Miller discusses the need for developing a
constructive alternative to containment with regard to this
migration.

"Immigration is one of the more controversial areas in the
history of European integration. Whilst northern European countries
have been constructing elaborate compromises in the European Union (EU)
Treaties and in the Schengen group, southern European countries have
been trying to construct their own immigration policies. Little
attention has been paid in the literature to the relationship between
these two phenomena: it is suggested here that southern countries have
found it expedient to fit in with EU and Schengen arrangements, even
though these appear impossible to implement. This contradiction is seen
as intrinsic to the overall relations of Portugal, Spain, Italy and
Greece to the EU."

Foreign workers in Israel: history and theory. International
Migration Review, Vol. 32, No. 2, Summer 1998. 303-25 pp. Staten
Island, New York. In Eng.
"Beginning in 1993, Israel began
importing large numbers of foreign workers, replacing its traditional
Palestinian labor force. This article presents a descriptive history
and theoretical analysis of the migration, placing it in the context of
Israel's reliance on noncitizen labor from the occupied territories.
Dual labor market theory is particularly helpful in analyzing labor
migration to Israel, but only by also analyzing the determinants of
state policy can we understand how these recent flows began. The
Israeli case thus suggests a cumulative model of the initiation of
labor migration flows: structural factors create a predisposition
toward use of foreign labor, and political factors determine whether
and how that predisposition will be
actualized."

weaknesses of existing data collection systems [including censuses,
population registers, border statistics, and residence and work permit

statistics on international migration. The book analyses the
measurement of migrants' remittances and problems associated with this,
as well as ways of gathering remittances data. Attention is also given
to specially designed surveys for use in examining the determinants and
consequences of international migration. Examination of these issues is
crucial for developing realistic and cost-effective migration

"We
consider the case in which the opening up of an economy to migration
results in departure of skilled workers. We point out that while the
possibility of migration changes the set of employment opportunities,
it also affects the structure of incentives: higher returns to skills
in the foreign country influence decisions about skill acquisition at
home. We combine the changing opportunities--changing incentive
structure idea with an assumption concerning the information
environment: employers in the foreign country are neither perfectly
informed nor equally informed over time about the skill levels of
individual migrant workers as employers' experience of employing
migrant workers accumulates."

its subsequent effect on ethnic diversity in a model featuring human
capital spillovers which depend on the degree of ethnic heterogeneity,
variation rates of time preference across individuals and endogenous
levels of immigration and assimilation. In the model, an increase in
ethnic diversity reduces the spillovers effect for the majority.
Nonetheless, immigration can be welfare improving for the majority
ethnic group even if it increases the degree of diversity as long as it
raises the average human capital level and/or growth rate by increasing
the proportion of people with low rates of time
preference."

on two non-income dimensions of immigrant performance: geographic
dispersion and occupational mobility. I compare immigrant performance
in two eras, separated by just over a century (1850-1860 and
1965-1980). This makes it possible to consider the impact of a broad
range of changes in the U.S. economy and in U.S. immigration

African Americans in a variety of ways that are not directly part of
the employment relationship. These include pre-labor-market effects,
such as those that occur through the accumulation of knowledge in
formal education; effects on non-labor-market activities, such as
housing choices and criminal activities; and impacts on workers'
choices of whether to enter employment or to become self-employed
instead. Part two...provides economic analyses of these other
activities.... Taken all together, the results of the various research
projects indicate that recent immigration to the United States appears
to have exerted small negative effects on the economic situations of
African Americans.... In part [three] an invited group of
commentators...remind us that it is one thing to try to estimate both
the economic effects of immigration in general and those effects on
African Americans in particular, but an altogether different thing to
try to estimate the effects of immigration on the country's overall
social welfare."

"This paper tests the assimilation hypothesis
with Norwegian data. Using both cross-section and cohort analyses, the
results show that the 1970-1979 immigrant cohort experienced an
earnings growth of about 11% between 1980 and 1990, when their earnings
profile was compared to that of natives. This is lower than the 19%
assimilation rate predicted by the cross-section method. On the
contrary, the results reveal a rapid earnings divergence across
cohorts, and between the 1960-1969 cohort and
natives."

"The
difference between immigrants' and natives' use of welfare programs [in
the United States] is concentrated among the elderly. This paper
examines the determinants of immigrants' welfare participation
decisions to evaluate the consequences of changes in immigration and
welfare policy. An important finding for immigration policy is that
immigrants who arrive after age 55 are significantly more likely to use
welfare than the typical immigrant who arrives during prime working
years. Surprisingly, this age-at-arrival effect is not explained by
differences in social security benefits between young-arrivers and
old-arrivers. The problem of immigrant welfare use is not simply low
incomes or poor labor market performance: decisions regarding take-up
of benefits are an important explanation for the effect of age at
arrival. Finally, the sharp rise in immigrants' use of welfare during
the 1980s was due mostly to higher welfare participation rates of new
immigrants."

Different paths: gender, immigration and political

"Building on arguments made by Grasmuck and Pessar (1991),
Hardy-Fanta (1993), and Hondagneu-Sotelo (1994), among others, this
article makes the case for a gendered understanding of immigrant
political socialization. Looking at recent Latin American immigrants to
New York City, the article argues that immigrant Latino men are more
likely to favor continuity in patterns of socialization and
organization, and immigrant Latinas are more likely to favor change.
This finding helps bridge theoretical and empirical literatures in
immigration studies, applying the logic of gender-differentiated
decisionmaking to the area of immigrant political socialization and
behavior."

"This article argues that in order
to fully understand the geography of labour migration to global cities,
it is necessary to consider economic forces in conjunction with
mediating socio-cultural influences. Support for this argument is based
on an examination of the pattern of migration to Hong Kong, a city
which plays a significant role in the world economy. Reported here are
the results of an analysis of recently released 1996 by-census data,
and the authors' interviews with foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong.
These findings have shown that highly skilled immigrant workers were
drawn largely from developed countries, the main sources of inward
investment in this city, while less skilled immigrants were drawn from
less developed neighbouring labour
markets."

"This paper investigates the relative roles
of conventional labour market forces and proxies for ethnic ties in
explaining the destination choices of 1985-90 young adult immigrants
[to the United States], based on data from the 1990 census. We find
that the destination choices of recent immigrants are more strongly
influenced by the race-ethnic composition of a state than by more
conventional labour market attributes. This is especially the case for
blacks and Hispanics who showed the highest concentration in their
destination selections, and least so for whites whose destinations were
most dispersed. We also found that immigrants with less than high
school education were most subject to the pull of race-ethnic
similarity, were least attracted by the states with low unemployment,
and had the most concentrated destination selections within each
race-ethnic group."

There were two peaks of immigration during this period: the wave of the

(`planning from above') to disperse the immigrants geographically; and
the wave of the 1990s, when the government adopted a policy of
absorption by market forces (`planning from below') to disperse the
immigrants. Between these two peaks, the main population flow
determining the spatial makeup was internal
migration."

On the basis of official statistics, the authors
compare immigration to Germany and Austria as two "most similar
cases" in order to analyze the effects of differences in societal
openness to foreigners, particularly in the labor and housing markets.
They conclude that socioeconomic integration is more difficult for
foreigners in Austria, due mainly to the greater control exerted by the
state, political parties, and labor unions over large segments of the
labor market. On the other hand, access to citizenship is more
restricted in Germany because of its ethnically based understanding of
nationality.

crisis are the millions of migrant workers whose labour is no longer
required by the region's erstwhile `tigers'. Their repatriation raises
serious political, economic and social issues for citizens and states

needs to be assessed if the possible socio-economic consequences of the

characteristics of migration from cities in the Mexican state of
Jalisco, an area with a long tradition of migration to the United
States. They also discuss to what extent this type of migration is
associated with polarized regional development in these urban centers.
Chapters are included on migration from cities and regional
development; the socio-demographic context; international migration;
and return migration and the situation of migrants living in the United
States in 1993.

D.C. In Eng.
Comparing today's (post-1965) immigration with the
immigration that occurred in the period 1890-1920, the authors assess
how likely the children of recent immigrants to the U.S. are to achieve
socioeconomic success. They suggest that "overall, the children of
the post-1965 immigration begin with disadvantages no greater than
those encountered by immigrant children before." They also point
out that greater discrepancies exist among the immigrant pool of today
than among that of the turn of the century: 22 percent of the
foreign-born population was born in Mexico and is at the bottom of the
socioeconomic ladder, while the remaining 78 percent present a picture
not unlike the native-born population, and are in fact more likely to
have reached college.

moving to Spain, the advantages and disadvantages reported of living
there, and the perceived impacts on the local region were analysed,
paying particular attention to cross-national differences between
British, German, Benelux and Nordic retirees. The results show that
sociodemographic and economic features of the settlers tend to be quite
similar, whilst reasons for moving, stated advantages and

This special issue is devoted to problems
concerning immigration to France from Black Africa. It is based on the
needs and perceptions of the immigrants concerned. There are four
substantive articles. The first, by Catherine Quiminal, examines French
colonial history and shows how it laid the basis for the need of
Africans to emigrate today in search of employment. The second, by
Samba Yatera, looks at how emigrants can help their areas of origin to
develop. The third, by Mahamet Timéra, discusses the
difficulties associated with the integration of immigrants in France
using an example of the Soninka community. The fourth, by Alain Morice,
focuses on the pressures that can lead to illegal immigration. The rest
of the issue consists of shorter articles on aspects of African
immigration in contemporary France.

The author investigates migration trends into European Union
countries from the Mediterranean region. "In 1995 approximately
55% (217 million) of the population in the Mediterranean area lived in
the southern and eastern countries, and around 45% (175 million) of the
inhabitants lived in the countries to the north. By the year 2020 this
proportion will have shifted to 2/3 (326 million) [and] to 1/3 (173
million).... If differences in demo-economic development continue to
last, we can expect that more people will continue to migrate from the
southern and eastern countries into the northern ones in order to work
and earn incomes."

Most of the papers in this monograph were
commissioned by the National Research Council's expert panel on
immigration, a 12-member panel originally established by the bipartisan
U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform. The panel, which consisted of
demographers, economists, and sociologists, was asked to address the
effect of immigration on (1) the future size and composition of the
U.S. population, (2) the U.S. economy and its workers, and (3) the
fiscal balances of federal, state, and local governments. The
commissioned papers were presented and discussed at a conference held
in September 1996 in Washington, D.C. "The topics addressed at
that conference included the labor market role of female immigrants...,
a historical perspective on immigration..., a theoretical framework for
addressing fiscal impacts of immigration..., the association of
immigration with criminal activity..., and the theoretical labor market
impact of international immigration and trade...." The panel also
conducted some original research, the results of which are presented in
the remaining four papers. "For its work on the fiscal impact of
immigration, we relied on an ongoing study of New Jersey...and started
our own case study of California.... In addition...the panel conducted
a study of the national longitudinal effects of immigration....
Finally, the panel heard a series of presentations from an ongoing
study of the effects of immigration on internal
migration...."

Latinos define their niches in an American city. It is important as
well to focus on events in the first half of the 1990s, because this

the full price of their trip north and when the nation fully awoke to

"This paper makes three observations about international trade
and immigration. (i) Borjas has argued that immigration may yield a net
social benefit even though it hurts those less-skilled workers who
directly compete with immigrants.... (ii) Following Wood and
Feenstra-Hanson, I argue that within an industry those goods produced
abroad use more unskilled labor than those goods produced in the United
States.... After transparently incorporating this into a new factor
content study I find that changes in U.S. trade patterns almost
certainly battered wages of those at the very bottom of the skill
ladder. (iii) Despite globalization pressures, I find little evidence
of earnings convergence for a sample of 75 countries over the 1963-92
period. This holds true even after controlling for education, capital,
and workers' industry of affiliation."

of British retirees to Malta has fluctuated in volume and character
over the last 35 years, partly in response to changes in Maltese fiscal
and residence policies, and partly reflecting the changing demand for
overseas retirement settlement in the UK. The substantial contribution
of intercommunal married couples to the British retired resident
population and the buoyancy of both tourist visits and new arrivals
suggests that its size will at least be stable or will grow slowly for
many decades to come."

"This article uses event history data to specify a model
of employment returns to initial migration, onward migration, and
return migration among newly married persons in the U.S. Husbands are
more likely to be full-time employed than wives, and being a parent
reduces the employment odds among married women. Employment returns to
repeated migration differ by gender, with more husbands full-time
employed after onward migration and more wives full-time employed after
return migration events. We interpret these empirical findings in the
context of family migration theory, segmented labor market theory, and
gender-based responsibilities." Data are from the National

Military service and migration in nineteenth-century France: some
evidence from Loir-et-Cher. Transactions of the Institute of
British Geographers, Vol. 23, No. 2, 1998. 193-206 pp. London, England.
In Eng.
"Military service in France during the nineteenth
century removed many young men from their own localities for long
periods. The widely accepted claim that few conscripts returned home
after completing their period of service is based on little evidence.
The paper examines the conscription classes of 1856 and 1891 in two
cantons in the département of Loir-et-Cher. In those cases,
there was not a significant relationship between conscription and
migration, nor between literacy and migration. Instead, migration of
youths in their twenties was linked partly to prior experiences of
migration but principally to their
occupations."

"Position in the labour force has a strong influence on
whether people move. This study examines the migration of all
categories of the labour force and how it relates to the nation's

mobility is affected by an individual's status in the labour force,
his/her sex, occupation and the industry in which he/she works; the
effects of labour migration on both State and regional growth and
development--the spatial outcome; how migration composition differs

Some aspects of recent internal migration trends in Brazil
are analyzed, with the focus on trends affecting the greater
metropolitan area of São Paulo. "Preliminary data derived
from the 1991 census of Brazil show that the São Paulo
metropolitan area experienced an important reduction in its rate of
population growth in the 1980s, growing more slowly than the population
of the state as a whole. Similar trends have been documented in Rio de
Janeiro. Within the metropolitan area, however, the population of
peripheral municipalities continued to grow, largely because of
intrametropolitan migration. Such migration therefore was responsible
for the geographic expansion of the São Paulo metropolitan
area."

"With the increased
feminization of the Mexican health work force--an estimated 30 per cent
of all physicians are female--there is an urgent need to study this
group of workers in terms of their impact on the health service. In
particular, the potential for female physicians to migrate could have a
dramatic impact on the health service.... To this end this paper will
analyse the migration and mobility of female physicians through the
lifecourse in provincial Mexico. The paper examines the factors that
control and structure female physician migration in childhood [and]
during their training and career development.... Primary data were
obtained from interviews with a sample of physicians in five study
states. Material presented in this paper demonstrates that female
physicians in provincial Mexico are not highly mobile. A lack of
mobility is due to the constraining factors of education, gender,
institutional structures and family and household
imperatives."

"The author examines the role of
residential satisfaction and mobility intentions vis-à-vis
structural variables in migration decisionmaking with the aid of data
drawn from the 1985-1989 waves of the American Housing Survey. A
conceptual model is derived which is based on behavioral theories
developed in social psychology, namely the theories of reasoned action
and planned behavior. Several previously ignored links among structural
variables, mobility predispositions and moving behavior are
incorporated. Empirical analyses show that, although satisfaction and
intentions are important predictors of mobility, most of the structural
variables that are commonly known to be related to migration also have
direct effects on subsequent moving behavior, independent of
satisfaction and intentions."

the consequences of migration and therefore on the desirability of
continued migration flows. The second section provides a description of
Lima's growth during recent decades, emphasizing the roles of
industrial growth, the changing role of government in the economy,

most backward states and a region of heavy out-migration in India.
Based on a survey of around 4,000 sample households from two rural and
two urban centres of the state, the study analyses the process of
migration from several angles. It has attempted to examine a number of
issues regarding the determinants of migration and the consequent
implications for rural and urban development which have a direct impact

The
impact of political factors on international migration around the world
is examined. The author notes that although the political events that
influence people to flee their country of origin, such as political
repression, civil war, ethnic cleansing, and attempted genocide, seem
to be growing in frequency, the political pressures in potential
recipient countries tend to make the task of entry by those seeking
asylum harder. However, he notes that most developed countries do
recognize the right of foreigners to seek political asylum in their
countries, even if they are opposed to immigration for economic or
social reasons. Recent trends in developed countries concerning
attitudes and policies toward political refugees seeking entry are
reviewed.

This is a collection of 18 studies by
various authors on aspects of urbanization in developing countries. The
primary focus is on the situation in Africa. One general theme emerges
from the studies: urbanization is continuing despite worsening economic
conditions, and this is causing increasing problems for the poorer
populations of urban societies who have to absorb most of the costs of
rural-urban migration. The absence of available jobs and housing
particularly affects the young, who have to postpone marriage and
starting a family. The difficulties that migrants have in fitting into
city life are noted.

Migration motivation, family links, and job search methods of
rural-to-urban migrants in India. In: Migration, urbanization, and
development: new directions and issues, edited by Richard E.
Bilsborrow. 1998. 187-219 pp. United Nations Population Fund [UNFPA]:
New York, New York; Kluwer Academic: Dordrecht, Netherlands. In Eng.
Some aspects of migration selectivity and motivation are examined
using data collected by the author in a 1975-1976 survey undertaken in
Delhi, India. The survey included 1,615 migrant heads of households,
most of whom originally migrated to the city from rural areas.
Consideration is given to migration selectivity and motivation; social
networks, information flows, and the search for jobs; and urban-rural
family links, including conjugal separation. The results suggest that,
in some cases, increasing rural incomes could increase the propensity
to migrate to the city, as could better education; that such migration
often does not involve the whole family; and that most people migrate
to the city after lining up a specific job, which implies that
rural-urban migration of this kind does not contribute significantly to
increases in urban unemployment.

This chapter focuses on some
methodological issues that arose during a project that began in 1989.
The project involved the simultaneous undertaking of migration surveys
in several Western African countries, including Burkina Faso, Guinea,
Ivory Coast, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal. The focus
is on issues of data collection and analysis. "The main goal of
the surveys was to permit the measurement of various characteristics of
the migration and urbanization processes in the network countries:
levels and trends of migration; characteristics, attitudes, and
aspirations of migrants; determinants and consequences of migration;
and the pace of urban absorption." In addition to the
methodological issues discussed, some preliminary results from the
surveys are presented.

"The purpose of this
chapter is to describe and analyze the role of migration in the process
of urbanization in Mexico between 1940 and 1990. The study is divided
into four sections. Section A investigates interstate migration
patterns and trends between 1940 and 1990.... Section B summarizes
urbanization indicators from 1940-90 and discusses limitations in the
traditional interpretation of urban growth in Mexico.... Section C
relates the economic performance of migrants to the characteristics of
destination cities, to test the hypothesis that the centrality of
cities in the urban network affects the economic performance of
migrants at their destination.... In the final section, I discuss
policy and research implications of the approach
used."

In Eng.
The model of migration in developing countries developed by
Todaro and others, in which the driving force behind rural-urban
migration is the wage differential between urban and rural areas, is
examined using 1971 and 1981 census data for the states of India. The
results do not provide any evidence supporting this model, which the
author suggests is not surprising, given the imperfect product and
factor markets prevailing in India.

(3) it analyzes the labor market and migration experience of current
rural second-level school leavers; and (4) finally, it evaluates the
nature and causes of change in rural outmigration patterns from the
1960s to the 1980s."

"The objective of this article
is to report on some of the main findings of an investigation into the
causes and effects of migration and urbanization in South Africa. The
alternative hypotheses of either an equilibrating or a disequilibrating
effect of migration on the spatial distribution of the South African
population and their income are examined. The initial discussion of the
migration theories is followed by an analysis of the functional
relationship between rural-urban migration and
urbanization."

Some recent trends in internal
migration in Cuba are analyzed using data from a national survey
carried out in 1995. The primary focus is on migration to the capital
city, Havana, the destination of most migrants. Emphasis is put on the
different reasons given by migrants for migrating to Havana from
various types of settlements. Following a description of the
methodology used in the survey, a brief history of migration to Havana
is provided. Topics discussed include the origin of migrants to the
city, the characteristics of recent migrants, the way migration occurs,
motives for migration, and the socio-demographic consequences of this
migration. Attention is then given to probable future trends in
migration to Havana and how they might be influenced by government
policies.
