Rome, Italy. In Ita. with sum. in Eng; Fre.
This study is concerned
with the relationship between migration and socioeconomic development.
The author considers some of the factors affecting migration, such as
the availability of information and training, the legal status of
migrants, the recognition of migrant associations, the coordination of
international and local policies, and the process of migrant
integration. Particular attention is given to the findings of some
Italian research on migrant remittances and their impact on the
development process. The author attempts to replace the traditional
concept that migration problems will be solved by the development
process with one that sees migrants as active agents in the process of
development and change.

"This article focuses on how
migration auspices affect the formation of migrant networks and ethnic
communities. Using ethnographic data and migration histories to focus
on caste `reformation' in the subcommunities of the Indians of Fiji,
the ability to reestablish and maintain subcaste group `extensions' in
Fiji is shown as directly related to the migration auspices that
originally established the community. By determining the
characteristics of migrants, the reason for migrating, and the
magnitude and duration of migration streams, migration auspices define
a migration type. This migration type affects the strength and density
of social ties present in migration streams. It also affects the
strength and density of network ties that members of a migrant
community can establish in a receiving
society."

This is a review
of recent migration trends affecting Russia. There are sections on
migration between Russia and former republics of the Soviet Union,
forced migrations, migration between Russia and countries outside the
former USSR, the in-migration of foreign labor, Russians working
abroad, and changes in internal migration patterns. The author notes
that the continuing political and socioeconomic crises affecting the
country have had a significant effect on migration trends. In general,
there is a positive migration balance between Russia and the countries
of the "near abroad" as Russians return from the countries
that were formerly part of the USSR, but this is partly offset by
emigration to the "far abroad", primarily to the developed
countries in the West.

European integration and immigration from third countries.
ISBN 82-00-22721-9. 1996. xiv, 164 pp. Scandinavian University Press:
Oslo, Norway. In Eng.
This book examines the process whereby
immigration in Europe has evolved from being encouraged as a major
factor in economic development to being discouraged as a threat to
existing socioeconomic structures. The main focus is on the political
process toward the harmonization of migration policies among the
receiving countries and efforts to control immigration. The issue of
immigration is first introduced in the context of national sovereignty
and nationhood. This is followed by a historical review of immigration
in Europe in the period following World War II. Next, the
characteristics of the immigrant population are described. The
remaining chapters examine the factors that have influenced the
development of migration policies and the trend toward the
harmonization of those policies.

The impact of current levels of
immigration for the United States is assessed in the light of the
recent report issued by the National Academy of Science's National
Research Council. "The findings of the NRC study basically tell us
this: we can now say with confidence that immigration is not the
benefit to the economy that it was once thought to be. While the
overall economic impact of immigration is modest, the effect on the
unskilled and on taxpayers in high-immigrant states is substantial. We
should, therefore, change our immigration policy not because the
negative effects are so large for the country as a whole but because
they are so concentrated." The author suggests that policy changes
are needed to limit immigration to those with more skills and
qualifications.

The authors "argue that national variation in the size
of highly trained migration can be explained by interaction and
inequality between nations, both reflecting the process of global
integration. Guided by this analytical framework, we tested the
structural determinants of highly skilled migration to the United
States. The evidence confirms our hypotheses that economic and
educational interactions between sending countries and the United
States increase the flow of the highly trained to the United States.
Results also provide mixed proof for our hypotheses that levels of
professional migration are positively associated with disparities
between sending countries and the United States in living conditions,
research conditions, children's educational opportunities, political
conditions, and professional employment
opportunities."

"This study explores the relationship
between immigration and labor market demand by employing information
about the occupational distribution of recent immigrants as compared to
natives to analyze the circumstances under which the two groups are
more likely to compete with or complement each other in the labor
market of U.S. cities. The findings lend some support to Light and
Rosenstein's (1995) specific demand hypothesis: in small and
medium-sized cities, many immigrants fill occupational niches that
would not exist in their absence. The picture is different in large
metro areas; here there appears to be little relationship between the
relative sizes of the immigrant population and of the labor market
sector made up of occupations which are--on a national
scale--immigrant-dominated."

"Apart from
Ireland and Italy Poland belongs to the `classical' emigration
countries of the 19th and 20th century. Due to economical and political
factors a considerable number of Poles left their country.... Spread
over many countries on several continents the emigrants established a
Polish diaspora and developed a national feeling that is...[connected]
with the Polish culture and the Polish `community'. The existence of
ethnic networks structures characterized the Polish emigration also
after 1989/90. Political and ethnic factors become thereby less
important in comparison with economical push- and pull-factors. This
leads to an emigration of qualified people who get jobs in the urban
labour markets of Western Europe in private households, and in the
building trade, sometimes under precarious
circumstances."

understanding offered by examining the effect of migration channels is
valuable. This is illustrated in terms of the contrasting channels used
by different professions, as well by migrants motivated to move by

plausibility, I discuss indirect indicators of the impact of

"The German cities in the old federal states showed a
remarkable increase in foreigners from 1980 to 1994. Their number grew
from 5.2 to 15.1 per cent. This is mostly a result of migration gains.
The regional pattern is closely related to the economic structures and
functions of the cities. But administrative and legal measures as well
as differences in the composition of nationalities have influenced the
diffusion pattern since the recruitment-stop in
1973."

"The study deals with size, main features (citizenship, sex
and age) and legal status (settled and semi-settled legal migrants,
illegal or irregular migrants) of [the] foreign population in six
Italian metropolitan areas (Rome, Milan, Turin, Naples, Bologna and
Palermo). Available data and their reliability are first analysed. The
six metropolitan provinces reveal a very high concentration of foreign
population, Rome and Milan in particular. The general picture is that
of an increasing concentration of foreign residents in the capital
city, but at the same time of the growing scattering in the
metropolitan municipalities. Estimates for illegal or irregular
migrants, obtained by applying the shares of illegality [emerging] from
sample surveys to the regular stock, suggest that the percentage of
illegal and irregular immigrants is particularly high in the provinces
of Rome and Naples and is mainly connected with flows from Eastern
Europe and North Africa."

Africa have diversified in terms of origins and destinations and no
longer necessarily follow patterns of colonial relations. Such a trends
calls into question the efficacy of bilateral responses. Second,
African states have clearly demonstrated interests in managing
emigration and return migration and need to be considered as partners
in policy responses. Third, African migrant communities are exerting
greater independence vis-à-vis sending and receiving

attempts to summarise the major contemporary trends in international

transition occurring across most of the region. The diversity of types
of mobility is one of the striking features of Asian international
migration and developments in each major type [are] discussed in the
paper. It is then argued that there are elements within the Asian
migration system that give it a momentum which to some extent operates
outside of the influence of economic and political trends. Finally some
emerging issues in Asian international migration are briefly addressed.
These include the scale and effects of remittances, the feminisation of
migration, undocumented migration, increasing government involvement
and brain drain issues."

"The article examines migrant
remittances per country of origin of remittances for two emigration
countries, Greece and Portugal. It also examines the relationship
between remittances and the number of banks of the emigration country
in the host country. From the analysis it appears that remittances are
concentrated in a small number of host countries--the U.S. and Germany
for the Greek case; France (mainly) and the U.S., Germany and
Switzerland for the Portuguese case. Remittances followed similar
trends, characterized by especially high growth during the 1970s and
also during the second half of the 1980s. For both countries similar
trends are observed regarding the relationship between remittances and
remittances per migrant with the presence of banks of the home country
at the important countries of origin of remittances. The growth of the
banking presence in host countries had a significant impact on the
growth of migrant remittances."

claimed by world system theorists. Utilizing data on U.S. permanent
migration, emigration rates for 150 sending countries are calculated

support for claims that rapid population growth and U.S. investment
fuel U.S. immigration. Rather emigration is significantly lower from

This study examines the
contribution that emigrants can make to the development process in
their countries of origin. The authors synthesize the results of six
case studies concerning Cape Verdeans in the Netherlands, Haitians in
Quebec, Italians in Switzerland, Malians in France, Tunisians in Italy,
and Zairians in Belgium. "Although in most cases migrants'
contributions to their own country's development is fairly small in
macroeconomic terms, they can sometimes have a substantial impact at
the local level. Moreover, the effect of these contributions could be
amplified if appropriate policies were devised and implemented in the
host and home countries. The studies demonstrate what might at first
sight seem a paradox: that the social integration of migrants in the
host country is favoured by the existence of associations whose purpose
is to maintain links with the home country and to undertake actions in
support of its development. Thus, the better migrants are integrated in
the host country, the greater can be their contribution to the
development of the home country."

by a small number of immigrants (best of times), and the second period
was characterized by mass migration (worst of times). Using data sets
assembled by the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, labour force
status of the two groups in Israel were examined four years after
arrival (1983 and 1994, respectively). We found no difference in rate
of labour force participation but considerable differences in the rate
of occupational mobility between the two groups of immigrants.
Specifically, the data reveal that immigrants were able to find
employment in both periods. However, during periods of mass migration,
recent immigrants had experienced higher rates of downward occupational
mobility and greater loss of occupational
status."

This is a comparative analysis of the differences in the

Australia. The main thesis is that the differences observed reflect
fundamental differences in the characteristics of the three recipient
societies under consideration far more than has previously been
recognized. The author maintains not only that the impact of
immigration is a social product shaped by the various institutional
structures existing in the receiving countries, but also that these
institutions are in a process of rapid change, partly in response to
global economic change, which will in turn change the impact of
immigration in all three countries.

Dynamics of immigration: return migration to western Mexico.
ISBN 0-9653184-2-7. Jan 1997. xxi, 98 pp. Public Policy Institute of

This study is
concerned with the return migration of Mexican immigrants in the United
States to their country of origin. It examines "how long Mexican
immigrants stay in the United States and the differences between those
who stay and those who return. It analyzes data on return migration for
a sample of immigrants from western Mexico--an area that accounts for a
large percentage of California's immigrants. The study's major findings
suggest how important return migration could be for considering the
social and economic effects of immigration: half of all immigrants from
western Mexico return home within two years and about 70 percent have
left within ten years; undocumented immigrants and the unemployed leave
at even faster rates; the long-term settlers have more education and
higher-paying jobs and are thus the most likely to succeed in the U.S.
labor market. These and other findings suggest that migration is driven
primarily by economic incentives. The results also suggest that the
costs and benefits of immigration should be estimated over
time."

author concludes that while there is no systematic exclusion of
foreigners from more desirable occupations, entry into certain sectors
of the labor market is more difficult for foreigners than for native
Germans. Subsequent generations of foreigners have improved their
occupational situation, but tend to retain their ethnic identity rather
than to assimilate into the dominant culture.

The author uses panel data collected from 1984 to
1989 to compare the situation of foreigners in Germany with that of
native Germans, and to determine whether the opportunities for
foreigners in Germany have changed over time. He concludes that while
the German labor market is not a closed system, it contains significant
structural barriers for foreigners, even in subsequent generations.
Foreign workers are concentrated mainly in the unskilled sector, and
even for those with qualifications comparable to those of native
Germans, entry into more desirable sectors has been impeded both by
labor laws giving preference to Germans and by prejudice on the part of
employers. Great improvements in integration in the foreseeable future
seem unlikely.

"guest workers": issues and public policies. ISBN
4-13-047061-2. 1994. ix, 220 pp. University of Tokyo Press: Tokyo,
Japan. In Eng.
This study puts forward the argument that Japan has
a serious foreign worker problem that is likely to play a major role in
shaping the nation's future. The author notes that, in the late 1980s,
when the economy was booming, there was a lively debate over the
illegal employment of unskilled foreign workers between those wishing
to promote a more open policy and those wanting to exclude foreign
labor altogether. With the current economic recession, the concern over
foreign labor seems to have diminished. The author suggests that as
soon as the economy recovers, the debate is likely to be renewed,
particularly as Japan's shrinking and aging labor force is increasingly
unwilling to tackle hard or dangerous types of work. The author
suggests that success or failure in developing policies that welcome
and provide suitable training for the immigrant labor needed by the
economy will play a critical role in the nation's future.

"To understand the gap that has developed
between the categorization used in the official statistics and the
scientific questions about migration and its long-term consequences for
French society, we examine the history of the classification of
immigrant populations. This overview points to the influence of the
national model on the categories employed in the social sciences. The
second part of the article explores the strengths and weaknesses of the
various categories used in the quantitative studies of social phenomena
that involve `immigrants' or people of `immigrant origin'. The problems
associated with the construction of categories based on the origins,
usually ethnic, of individuals are examined by means of a
non-exhaustive catalogue of recent survey
applications."

among Mexican migrants. International Migration Review, Vol. 32,
No. 3, Fall 1998. 561-92 pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"In this article a theoretical model is developed that views
undocumented border crossing as a well-defined social process
influenced by the quantity and quality of human and social capital that
migrants bring with them to the border, and constrained by the
intensity and nature of U.S. enforcement efforts. Detailed histories of
border crossing from undocumented migrants originating in 34 Mexican
communities are employed to estimate equations corresponding to this
model.... As people gain experience in border crossing, they rely less
on the assistance of others and more on abilities honed on earlier
trips, thus substituting migration-specific human capital for general
social capital.... On all trips, the intensity of the U.S. enforcement
effort has little effect on the likelihood of arrest, but INS
involvement in drug enforcement sharply lowers the odds of
apprehension."

"There is some concern that
immigration contributes to a larger current account deficit in a net
borrowing country like Australia.... This paper uses both micro survey
and aggregate data to investigate [this issue]. It is shown that
although the immigrants as a group have a lower propensity to save, and
hence, make a greater direct contribution to the current account
deficit than the local-born, the relationship is considerably weakened
when indirect effects are taken into account. On balance, immigration
does not appear to have had a significant effect on the current account
for the period considered in the study."

This is one of two publications based on
papers and discussions at a workshop held July 11-13, 1994, at the OECD
Development Centre in Paris entitled Development Strategies, Employment
and International Migration. The seven papers in this volume are
organized under two subject headings: Migration, trade, and
development; and Trade and employment. "Much of the research
presented in this volume is based on theoretical or empirical models,
ranging from game theory to computable general equilibrium (CGE)
models. Major attention is focused on the likely impacts of the recent
international trade liberalisation on the movement of people across
borders.... Other papers...fall primarily into the `trade and
employment' category and cover various aspects, including political
economy aspects of reform." The focus is on the policy
implications of these trends for developed countries.

Data from an INED survey on
migration and social integration (Mobilité Géographique

the process of assimilation of young people aged 20-29 in France. The
results show that although there are many problems facing the young of
foreign origin, and particularly those of North African origin, the
situation concerning their integration into French society has improved
significantly over the course of a generation despite the economic and
social problems affecting the country that have made the process of
assimilation more difficult.

University of Paris X in Nanterre on contemporary U.S. immigration. The
focus is on the reasons why the immigration experience of the United
States, a country that has traditionally seen itself as a nation of
immigrants, has, over time, led to policies favoring the exclusion of
immigrants from many aspects of American society. The 13 papers are
organized into four sections: National identity and racist ideas; The
role of the state--definitions and laws; Ways toward integration and
cultural pluralism; and Spatial segregation. A general theme is the
relevance of the U.S. experience to the current immigration issue in

"This
article provides a comparison between intentions to return home and
observable return migration behaviour of Italians and Turks living in
Germany. It is argued that external factors (economic and legal
conditions) and internal factors (assimilation in the host country and
ties to home) influence the discrepancies between return intentions and
behaviours. Using micro-data from the MARPLAN surveys and macro-data
published by the German government for the 1970s and 1980s, the
analysis reveals that the return migration behaviour of Italians is by
and large consistent with their expressed intentions. In contrast,
Turks are less prone to translate their intentions into behaviour.
Specifically, Turks are more likely to postpone their intended return
and extend their sojourn in Germany."

positively disposed to returning in the future. Key background
variables that affect that decision are people's age, sex, social
background in China, and their views about returning when they first

having a wife abroad greatly increased the desire to stay abroad. Why
people chose not to return varied significantly between people [who

paper is that we use a survey data set to verify that the input
measures employed as explanatory variables in the migration study
actually are related to citizen satisfaction with local public
services. We find that the results depend crucially on whether the
input measures are instrumented. When input measures are instrumented,
we find few effects of local public services on
migration."

growth, land scarcity and the diminishing yields, Kikuyu started a
search for arable land. This migration has been extended toward areas
which are unsuitable for agriculture, where survival strategies of
Kikuyu migrants have been analysed. Results of the extended data
collection have shown that a range of social practices within the
mainly patrimonial families enable them to survive in the semi-arid
savannah on the Laikipia plain (Kenya). Two strategies could be
distinguished: on the levels of the individuals the mobility may be
described as personal transhumance, and on the level of the domestic
units as steps on the various islands of a vertical archipelago; both
are characteristics of a family circulation that constitutes a
migratory scheme prevailing among the Kikuyu. The study concludes with
a model of migratory practices which associates individual tactics and
the strategies applied by domestic units."

paper provides new insights into the spatial pattern of internal

Analyses are reported which show a decline in the level of
inter-provincial migration over the last three intercensal periods and
a much more uniform spatial pattern of net gains and losses in the
1980s than in previous decades.... The paper is based primarily on an
unpublished sample of anonymised census records relating to
migration.... The main focus of the paper is on age-specific migration
and on the analysis and interpretation of the composition of migration
age schedules and of their spatial variation between provinces.... It
is evident that aggregate patterns of inter-provincial migration
conceal a diversity of age-specific experience in Spain and that flows

living with at least one of their parents (non-married couples
included) and then the intermunicipality migration rate by age. The
conclusions are that emancipation in Belgium takes place between 20 and
30 and that the migrations linked with the growth of the household
closely overlap the emancipation migrations. A principal component
analysis of the growth rates of the cohorts between 1981 and 1991 shows
that the cohorts aged between 10 and 20 in 1981 are the best markers of
emancipation migrations in that period."

"Using 1990 [U.S.] PUMS data, this paper examines
determinants of interstate migration for immigrants as a whole and for
24 subgroupings in the 1985-90 period, focusing on whether state
context of residence or immigrant group characteristics themselves
explain migration differentials.... The analysis shows that group
concentration in a given state operates as the greatest deterrent of
interstate migration but economic and demographic conditions of the
state in which immigrants resided in 1985 serve as strong and important
determinants."

presented at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the Population Association of

"[The]
Czech Republic has experienced, over the last decade, quite a balanced
population system with low growth. This has changed recently and from
1994 we noted a decrease in population partially offset by
international migration, for the time being mainly temporary labour
circular movements. The decreasing trend may well continue due to
future replacement in the reproductive ages of large female cohorts
with much smaller cohorts, currently aged 0-15 years.... In terms of
population dynamics the most important feature we have observed is slow
but clear deconcentration of population from large cities to suburban
areas. The main gains are observed in medium size towns and smaller
communities at the expense of large cities and rural areas. However,
the migration factor plays a lesser role than in the past. Net
migration is low and migration effectiveness is very
limited."

"The paper investigates
population change and migration over the period 1984-1994 for communes.
There are important conclusions emerging from this study. The first is
that we are watching now a profound change of population redistribution
patterns in Poland. We observed that direct upwards hierarchical
mobility has been markedly modified. The first modification is the
substantial reduction of migration from rural to urban locations....
Largest cities, massive gainers of the seventies and eighties, have
tended to lose population in the mid-nineties. It is likely that they
lose population mainly to the neighbouring communes. We believe that a
suburbanization process has been put into motion. Medium to large sized
towns and cities, in the range between 50,000 and 500,000 as well as
small, but not the smallest, towns attract substantial parts of the
migration pool."

paper thus argues that the heterogeneity of the population is indeed a

data collected during a survey of 300 households in 1992. "The
first chapter is a review of the literature of internal migration both
in developed and developing countries, and a brief introduction to and
critique of...four migration models. The main task of the second
chapter is to hypothesise a set of social/anthropological and economic
variables and their relationships to the internal migration decision,
and to build up a multi-disciplinary internal migration model. In the
third and fourth chapters, a detailed description of the field study in
the five villages, one town and one city is given and a qualitative
analysis follows. The fifth chapter is the quantitative analysis,
testing the model to see whether or not there is correlation between
the hypothesised independent variables and the making of the internal
migration decision. Finally, a conclusion and some proposals for
further research are given in the sixth

migration is towards denser and more central places, this is a product
mainly of the migration of young people. When the migration streams are
broken down by age, the resulting tales show that the largest urban
areas are experiencing net losses from middle age and upwards....
Throughout the current report the role of life course stage in
influencing the direction of migration has been stressed. Most often
the overall pattern of population shifts conceal very different flow

larger internationally comparative study sponsored by the Council of
Europe and the European Commission. The aims of the study are
threefold: (1) to investigate the extent of rural depopulation; (2) to
analyse the degree to which the processes of urbanization,
counter-urbanization and sub-urbanization are in train; and (3) to
describe the patterns of and trends in internal migration.... By 1984
the Netherlands had reached a mature phase in the urban deconcentration
process. The main centres of population were losing migrants to ring
towns and peripheral municipalities outside of the short distance
spheres of influence of major centres. This pattern, established in the
1950-1980 period, marginally intensified between 1984 and 1994....
While rural depopulation was characteristic of a few remote
municipalities in the northern Netherlands, this phenomenon was swamped
by the attractiveness of rural municipalities with slightly better
accessibility. However, the most striking feature of regional
population dynamics in the Netherlands was the dramatically different
migration behaviour of young adults (aged
15-29)."

on population displacement in one of the most disturbed parts of
Africa. For thousands of people flight across an international border
occurs repeatedly and is not a uniquely traumatic event. For thousands
more, displacement has occurred within their own countries. The
chapters demonstrate that in situations of such long-term upheaval,
notions of flight into refuge and repatriation to a homeland cease to
have much meaning. These populations have received minimal assistance
from international organizations and have lacked protection from
oppressive governments and marauding guerrillas. Their plight has
largely been ignored. A conference organized in Addis Ababa by UNRISD
drew attention to this problem and discussed new ways in which relief
and development work might be organized. Most of the chapters in this
book are by researchers and aid workers with many years experience of

"In all the Nordic countries, a change of direction in refugee
policy has taken place in recent years, primarily for similar reasons
to those in the rest of Western Europe. These changes have been sparked
off by the situation in the former Yugoslavia, but should also be seen
as reflecting something more.... The prospect of a continuing influx of
refugee groups, and a corresponding strain on national budgets, creates
a backdrop for new thinking in all countries. An interesting aspect of
this issue in the Nordic region is that, despite being a fairly
homogeneous area, these countries have chosen radically different
points of departure for their approach to refugees from
Bosnia-Herzegovina. The article identifies these different national
strategies and analyses the subsequent tendency towards convergence of
policies that has taken place along the
way."

"Indonesia's
transmigration program to transport people from Java and other densely
populated islands to largely forested outer islands has high
environmental, social, and financial costs, while doing little towards
relieving population pressure on Java. Transmigration has been an
important cause of forest loss in Indonesia. World Bank financing
promoted the program directly over the 1976-1989 period and continues
to underwrite other settlement models that have supplanted earlier
programs. The Bank projects included creating and strengthening a
Ministry of Transmigration, which also carried out settlements of types
other than those financed as discrete components of Bank loans. Some of
these indirectly supported activities have had particularly serious
human rights consequences. The case of transmigration provides valuable
lessons for tropical countries and international development agencies
such as the World Bank, and many of these lessons have yet to be
learned."

This is a
general review of the transmigration program that has been carried out
in Indonesia since the colonial era, with the focus on developments
since independence. The author suggests that most of the problems that
the program has experienced are due not to problems inherent in its
implementation, but to confusion as to the conceptions and objectives
of the program. He suggests that the program's setbacks are due to
misunderstandings about the Javanese peasantry's ability to adapt in
the face of population growth, prejudices concerning the population of
the outer islands, and, above all, to policies exclusively focused on
agricultural development.

"This article examines return migration during the

Russia at the end of the nineteenth and at the beginning of the
twentieth century" The focus is on changing migration patterns
over time. "The behavioural norm of Estonians born in the
1910s-1920s has been return migration to Estonia, while the migration
behaviour of the 1930s-1940s and the 1950s-1960s generations can be
characterized by urbanization in West Siberia. The results give reason
to assume that ethnic return migration over a long period depends
neither directly nor indirectly on momentary environmental changes, but
rather on changes in people's values, habits, identity etc., which in
the case of an ethnic minority living outside its historical homeland
may be followed generation by generation."

This doctoral dissertation
is concerned with the changing dynamics of household location in the
Netherlands, and particularly with examining the evidence that there is
a trend toward reurbanization. The main factors that might affect
reurbanization are analyzed, including economic change due to the
recession in the early 1980s, the postponement of marital union or
family formation, increasing female labor force participation, more
positive attitudes about the values of urban living, and increases in
the number of immigrants. The focus of the study is on providing policy
guidelines to encourage certain types of households to choose the city
as a place to live.

hukou (household registration) system in affecting their life--indeed,
in determining their fates. In the West, a number of China scholars,
notably Christiansen, Chan, Cheng and Selden, and Mallee have begun in
recent years to study this important subject in relation to population
mobility. Their work has significantly expanded our understanding.
Unlike population registration systems in many other countries, the
Chinese system was designed not merely to provide population statistics
and identify personal status, but also to directly regulate population
distribution and serve many other important objectives desired by the
state."

This collective work examines several
aspects of the relationship between the city and rural areas in
post-colonial Africa. It is a product of the Afrique Noire team based
at the Dynamics of Developing Societies Laboratory of the
Université de Paris VII-Denis Diderot. One of the issues covered
is migration flows between rural and urban areas. The primary focus is
on the Francophone African countries.

J. Explaining the recent migration trends of the Tokyo
metropolitan area. Environment and Planning A, Vol. 30, No. 10,
Oct 1998. 1,797-814 pp. London, England. In Eng.
Recent migration
trends affecting the Tokyo metropolitan area (TMA) in Japan are
analyzed. The focus is on the factors affecting the change in migration
patterns that resulted in a net outflow of migrants from the area in
1994, the first time this has occurred. "The results from a set of
time-series analyses lead the authors to conclude that, as far as the
study period (1979-92) as a whole is concerned, the changing migration
pattern of the TMA arose from factors closely related to Tokyo's
transformation into a world city (specifically in terms of industrial
restructuring and changes in residential land prices) and from cycles
of economic boom and bust. However, it was found that the change to
world city was more important than the economic cycle. Such findings
suggest that the Japanese migration system experienced structural
change during the 1980s and entered a new phase in the
1990s."

"Migration
models in the Harris-Todaro tradition imply that urban informal sector
earnings are less than rural sector earnings. Examining the situation
for [South] Korea, we find that both urban formal and informal sector
earnings exceed earnings opportunities in rural areas, making
rural-urban migration the best decision for the individual and for the
Korean economy in terms of maximizing output.... The implication for
policy makers is that government efforts may be better directed toward
mitigating the externalities caused by over-crowding, rather than
attempting to influence population
movements."

selectivity by gender, place of birth, and educational attainment.

pp. Tokyo, Japan. In Eng. with sum. in Jpn.
"This paper
studies the selectivity of the 1982-92 rural/urban migrations of the
Africans in Zimbabwe, based on the data from a multidimensional
tabulation of all the individual records in the 1992 Population Census.
The focus is on the selectivity with respect to gender, place of birth,
and educational attainment. The selectivity is interpreted in the
context of the country's colonial legacy, cultural norms, and current
socioeconomic conditions."

pp. London, England. In Eng.
"Since the early 1980s, reduced
migration control by the state and increasing economic liberalization
in China have led to the movement of millions of peasants to the
cities, creating various types of new `urban spaces' and `non-state
spaces'. This influx has fundamentally changed the social, spatial and
economic landscapes of the Chinese city, making the urban scene much
more varied, lively and dynamic, but less safe and orderly than that of
the Maoist era. Aside from the resulting expansion of city population,
the Chinese city is also taking on some of the features common to other
Third World cities, including the formation of migrant communities in
both the cities and suburbs."

The author assesses
ways of effectively controlling the mobile population in urban areas of
China, using data for Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, and Shenzen.
Aspects considered include migrant place of origin, previous
occupations, age, sex, and education. The impact of the mobile
population on socioeconomic development in urban areas is
considered.
