Migration and demographic processes in Cyprus, Greece, and

Wilfried Heller. 1997. 31-48 pp. Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft:
Munich, Germany. In Ger.
Migratory flows in Cyprus, both internal
and external, are summarized from colonial times to the present.
Post-World War II urbanization and emigration is first described; then
the author focuses on developments after Cyprus achieved independence
in 1960. These include segregation of Turkish and Greek Cypriots
through forced resettlement in the 1970s, leading to the permanent
division of Cyprus in 1983; emigration, especially to Great Britain and
then to Greece; and recently, increased immigration. The extent of
immigration from mainland Turkey to northern Cyprus is not precisely
known and is heavily politicized. In a concluding section, the author
looks at internal demographic shifts in Cyprus from 1960 to
1992.

In Eng.
"This paper investigates spatial statistical
associations between overseas in-migration rates and internal migration
loss within Sydney and between housing costs in Sydney and internal
migration outflows. The hypothesis was that housing cost changes and
overseas migration contributed additively to migration losses from the
metropolis. The integration of metropolitan Sydney and Australia into
the `Pacific rim' economy is examined with reference to wider
explanations of house cost changes and migration
flows."

Emigration and demographic processes in Croatia.

The author sketches out a history of
Croatia and its population, emphasizing the role of immigration in
creating an ethnic mix of Croatians and other nationalities. He then
outlines the population dynamics in Croatia from 1857 to 1991, pointing
out that epidemics, wars, and emigration have significantly slowed the
rate of increase. He also suggests that demographic aging and
rural-urban migration pose problems. In the final sections, emigration
from Croatia from 1880 to the present is examined in detail, including
forced outmigration of ethnic minorities and the guest-worker
phenomenon. The depopulation of rural areas within Croatia is addressed
as an important barrier to Croatia's further
development.

Using
data from the Residential Preference and Migration Survey, a panel
study of Pennsylvania households on migration intention and behavior,
the authors examine some aspects of the decision to migrate. "We
first examine the impact of the presence or absence of household
interaction on the desire to move, migration expectations, and actual
migration behavior. We hypothesize that the presence of household
interaction is associated with migration behavior, while the absence of
household interaction on migration-related issues is a predictor of
staying in the present residence. Second, we test an expanded
residential satisfaction migration decision model.... The expanded
model permits us to test the thesis that household interaction
frequency and consensus/conflict are moderating factors in explaining
and predicting the outcome of migration decision
making."

This chapter begins with a brief synopsis
of the history of emigration out of Albania, which has always been a
feature of Albanian life. The authors then focus on migration trends
after 1990, when the Communist regime fell. They describe the extent of
emigration, the destination countries, and some demographic and
economic characteristics of the emigrants. The motivation for
emigration is primarily economic. Advantages for Albania include
decreased unemployment, remittances, an increase in living standard,
and increased investment. Disadvantages include poor social and
economic integration of Albanian illegal immigrants into their host
country, increased criminality, and separation of families. The authors
also discuss internal migration despite the lack of data, pointing out
that it involves mainly people from the poor rural areas in the north
migrating south, particularly into the cities, to increase their
economic well-being. In conclusion, some guidelines for shaping
Albania's migration policies are given.

Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft: Munich, Germany. In Eng.
After a
short historical overview of emigration from the former Yugoslav
republic of Macedonia through the time of the Yugoslav federation, the
author focuses on Macedonian emigration in recent decades. She looks at
differences in emigration from the various districts and ethnic groups
in Macedonia and summarizes some demographic characteristics of the
migrants, including education and occupational skills. The destinations
of these emigrants are also discussed. Demographic trends for various
ethnic groups in Macedonia are then examined. A section on internal
migration follows, discussing urbanization and depopulation of rural
areas as well as brain drain to other formerly Yugoslav republics.
Finally, the socioeconomic development of Macedonia's population is
examined, stressing high unemployment levels, and the author points out
some differences between ethnic groups. She also makes some
recommendations aimed at aiding the further development of
Macedonia.

The
growth of the services sector of the economy in developing countries is
examined with reference to its implications for migration. The focus is
on possibilities for better management of migration in the context of
trade liberalization, as exemplified by the General Agreement on Trade
in Services (GATS). The study suggests that by creating jobs in
developing countries, growth of the service sector decreases the
potential for disruptive migration. It underlines the need for freer
movement of individuals in order to benefit from the liberalization of
the trade in services. The extent to which temporary migration can be
substituted for more permanent migration is considered. Finally, the
need for developing an internationally harmonized visa and migration
regime to facilitate, monitor, and manage trade-related migration is
noted.

regime, the pre-World War II mix of Slovenes with Germans, Italians,
and Hungarians was replaced by an almost exclusively Slavic population,

other Yugoslav republics. The author examines the refugee flows created
by the Balkan wars since 1991 and discusses the current legal status of
the various ethnic groups in Slovenia.

The author analyzes the ethnic mix of Serb, Croat, and Muslim
migrations from 1981 to the 1990s, both within and outside the former
Yugoslavian federation. He concludes that the net result of the
migratory flows has been to concentrate the three ethnic groups in
separate, more homogeneous areas than had been the case in Communist

283-309 pp. Opladen, Germany. In Ger. with sum. in Eng.
People who
share a common household with their life partner tend to demonstrate
very low residential mobility. Attempts to explain this have been
fruitful to an extent, but controlling for appropriate third variables
does not entirely account for the effect of partnership status on
mobility. A simple microeconomic model makes a first attempt to explain
the independent effect of partnership status on migration decisions.
This first attempt is here expanded into a behavior theory model and an
expanded model of decision making in the context of uncertainty.
According to this analysis, within certain parameters, the decisive
obstacle to the mobility of couples living together consists of the
risks and costs associated with negotiations. The anticipation of
possible negotiating problems frequently results in a potentially
positive migration opportunity not even being considered for a
decision. The proposed theoretical models are empirically tested using
data from the study on migration potential undertaken by the University
of Mannheim's Center for European Social
Research.

This is a general review of
migration trends in Russia from 1959 to 1997. The authors compare
trends in the period 1959-1974, when people were moving away from
highly populated regions to more remote areas such as Central Asia and
Kazakhstan, with those since 1974, and particularly since the breakup
of the Soviet Union. The demographic impact of these migrations on the
population of Russia as a whole is discussed. Data are also presented
on the different migration patterns affecting the various regions of
the country. Finally, the article analyzes recent migration trends,
particularly the return of ethnic Russians to Russia from the near
abroad (primarily because of armed conflicts) and Russian emigration to
the West. The cities and regions most affected by this emigration, and
the destinations of the migrants, are discussed.

The author first summarizes migration
trends in Communist Yugoslavia to 1991. In the 1940s, most emigrants
were members of non-Slavic ethnic groups returning to their cultural
homeland; from the 1950s to 1991, migration was driven both by economic
and by political or ethnic factors and took place mainly inside the
Yugoslavian federation. The next section focuses on migration after the
collapse of Yugoslavia; the author discusses refugee flows into Serbia
as well as emigration to other countries, pointing out that the
emigration of highly educated and skilled people is creating a brain
drain. In the final sections, population dynamics are discussed and the
problems of demographic aging, changing ethnic composition, and
economic underdevelopment are addressed.

analyzed through a combination of mutual association membership
registers and shipping lists; the linkage of available sources showed,
at least for these immigrants, a considerable gap between arrival and

the voluntary associations in assisting recent immigrants to obtain a
job."

home. We have suggested reasons for the objective obstacles which they
might have faced in their aim to return to Lucca and how this migration
flow started following a different pattern since the late
1950s."

recognised that the Human Resources for Science and Technology (HRST)
stock of any given country is sharply affected by migration flows of
qualified people. We have thus undertaken a study of highly-qualified
immigrants in Rome.... The conclusion is that the resident foreign
population in Rome has a high mean level of instruction by no means
lower than the mean level of Romans, at least up until the 1991 census.
It also emerges, however, that among graduates differences in level of
instruction vary according to geographical areas and, above all, the
level of industrialisation of the country of

Estimating remittance functions for Pacific island migrants.
World Development, Vol. 25, No. 4, 1997. 613-26 pp. Oxford, England. In
Eng.
"There is concern that Pacific island economies dependent
on remittances of migrants will endure foreign exchange shortages and
declining living standards as remittance levels drop due to lower
migration rates and the belief that migrants' willingness to remit
decreases over time.... From survey data on Tongan and Western Samoan
migrants in Sydney, this paper estimates remittance functions using
Tobit regression analysis. It is found that the remittance-decay
hypothesis has no empirical validity and migrants are motivated by
factors other than altruistic family support, including asset
accumulation and investment back home."

"This
analysis of data from the 5% 1980 and 1990 Public Use Microdata Samples
shows that among 18-40-year-old men in the United States, immigrants
were less likely than the native-born to be institutionalized (that is,
in correctional facilities, mental hospitals, or other institutions),
and much less likely to be institutionalized than native-born men with
similar demographic characteristics. Furthermore, earlier immigrants
were more likely to be institutionalized than were more recent
immigrants. Although all immigrant cohorts appear to have assimilated
toward the higher institutionalization rates of the native-born as
their time in the country increased, the institutionalization rates of
recent immigrants did not increase as quickly as would be predicted
from the experience of earlier immigrant
cohorts."

long run this will provoke a political reaction, resulting in a
significant reduction in the influx of migrants. In the Low scenario it

The author briefly reviews international
migration waves in Hungary from the end of the 1980s, when many
thousands of Romanian nationals sought refuge in Hungary, to the 1990s,
when even more refugees came from the former Yugoslavia, many of whom
were ethnic Magyars. The national composition and destinations of the
migrants are described; Finally, the labor market participation of
immigrants in Hungary is discussed. The author notes that immediately
after the fall of the Iron Curtain, 90% of employed foreigners were
manual laborers; Budapest harbors more than a third of all foreigners
in Hungary; many foreigners are active in the black market; and many
Hungarians work in other countries, mainly Germany and
Austria.

ethnic fragmentation in the U.S. The bulk of our argument, however,
attends to the expression itself. Given that the term balkanization is

to the present. While emigration of Greeks to Europe and overseas
dominated until the 1970s, in recent times there has been an influx of
migrants from formerly Communist and third world countries, including
refugees and illegal labor migrants. The author examines the economic
motives of the Greek emigrants of the past and the illegal immigrants
of the present, as well as the economic and social effects of
immigration on Greece, and discusses Greek policy regarding
migration.

emigration--overpopulation--is dismissed. During the process of
population growth, local social networks became more close-meshed and
inegalitarian.... Loose-knit transatlantic networks provided
information on opportunities in America which made emigration an option
for all social strata. It is suggested that networks provide a more
useful context for the understanding of emigration than territorial
demographic and economic systems, and that the workings of networks can
be both positive and negative."

The history of twentieth-century
emigration from Bulgaria is briefly described. Emigration of ethnic
groups, including Jews and Turks, far outweighed emigration of
Bulgarians for economic reasons. The opening of borders in 1989 caused
a massive exodus of ethnic Turks. The emigration of people of working
age has contributed to demographic aging in Bulgaria. The authors
analyze the motivations of potential emigrants during the recent
transition from Communism; most seek a higher standard of living.
Finally, migration policy in Bulgaria and the destination countries is
discussed, including policies dealing with immigrants to Bulgaria, and
some recommendations aimed at making the emigration process smoother
are made.

emphasize the importance of both differential economic advantage and
the ease with which a prospective migrant can transfer skills to the

The historical, political, and economic
contexts of the migratory flows of the past decade in southeastern
Europe are discussed. The author points out two gaps in the research on
this topic: first, it has been studied almost exclusively from the
point of view of the developed Western countries, and second, the links
between migration and socioeconomic transformation have not been well
studied. He also suggests that it may be misleading to speak of a
"transition" to the same sort of society found in today's
western European countries; at present, no methodology exists to study
the transformation of formerly Communist countries to their post-Iron
Curtain realities, and the extent of their comparability to third world
countries is debatable. Finally, it is not clear whether the recent
migrations are continuations of those existing during the Communist
regimes, or if they are qualitatively different. The author concludes
with some broad policy recommendations aimed at guiding the
transformations of southeastern Europe to a desirable
outcome.

and women as gendered actors in migration and that recognizes key
institutions as distinctively gendered.... New arenas such as gendered
transnational communities, the geographical and spatial contours of
immigrant occupational sex segregation, and the inclusion of youth and
children in gendered analysis of immigrant communities are also
changing the landscape of the gender and immigration

was strictly controlled during the Communist regime, from 1989 onward
people were free to leave Romania. Until 1991, most emigrants were
ethnic Germans or Hungarians. The level of immigration remains quite
low. Some consequences of emigration for Romania are discussed,
including brain drain, remittances, and impetus for
development.

"The paper places migration in the context of the extended
family. It models informal loans between migrant and extended family
for financing the costs of international labor migration. To show
repayments to extended family is important; we trace the effects of
such loans on migrant savings and remittance to the immediate family.
We employ a standard life-cycle approach, which predicts that the
demand for extended family financing rises with migration costs and
falls with pre-migration wealth. Remittance to the immediate family and
savings retained abroad both fall with the pre-migration loan."
These hypotheses are tested using data from a 1986 survey of return
migrants to Pakistan.

This doctoral dissertation examines peasant migration
from Oaxaca, Mexico, to Los Angeles, California. The first chapter
looks at theoretical aspects of labor migration by indigenous peasant
populations in general. The economic context of Mexican migration to
the United States and the relevant migration policies are then
examined, and the research methodology used in the study is described.
The results of the analysis are then presented, with the focus on two
Zapotec villages, San Marcos and Jaltianguis, and on the social network
linking these villages and Los Angeles that has evolved over
time.

"One of the economic benefits of
immigration is that the diversity of the population is enhanced.... The
argument in favor of diversity is evaluated both theoretically and
empirically using the 1990 [U.S.] Census. Diversity cannot be the
justification of U.S. immigration policy.... Further, the results
suggest that our immigration policy has resulted in differences in the
characteristics of immigrants that reflect the effects of selection as
much as they do the underlying characteristics of the populations from
which the immigrants are drawn."

various practices, discourses, and processes influencing gender

not singular agent for change. Conversely, she finds that multiple
agents and agencies at the local, regional, and transnational levels
affect gender relations.... In the conclusion, she addresses girls' and

speculates how they have been shaped by transnational processes and

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."

The author assesses the implications of the

migration were largely developed in the context of male labor
migration, and are therefore inappropriate for dealing with the
problems associated with female migration. The need to develop policies
in France that would help to enhance the status of women and alleviate
the problems of assimilation is stressed.

Paper, No. 97-07, 1997. 34 pp. Pennsylvania State University,
Population Research Institute: University Park, Pennsylvania. In Eng.
"In recent years, interest in the consequences of migration to
the United States for children's economic well-being has been
stimulated by high rates of immigration. Existing studies typically
compare immigrants with the native-born population or with higher-order
generations of the same ethnic group. We use the 1990 Census Public Use
Microdata Samples for the United States and Puerto Rico to demonstrate
the benefits of a comparative approach that includes children at the
point of origin as well as children at the destination.... The results
show that migration from the island to the mainland reduces the risks
of child poverty, but return migration to Puerto Rico is associated
with impoverishment. Mainland-island differences in family structure
and parental human capital cannot explain observed differences in child
poverty. Instead, interactive models provide the greatest insights into
how child poverty is structured in the two
locations."

This work consists of a selection of the author's
work undertaken between 1978 and 1994, some of which has been published
previously, on aspects of international migration and the development
of multicultural societies in Europe. In many of his contributions, the
author develops the theme that the multicultural aspects of modern
European societies are not just the product of recent immigration, but
are the result of more long-term and historical trends. He also
suggests that migrations are generally a product of cultural and
socioeconomic factors that are embedded in the human experience, and
are therefore not easily subject to control and manipulation by the
governments of individual sovereign states.

"This
review highlights contributions made by scholars who have treated
gender as a central organizing principle in migration and suggests some
promising lines for future inquiry. Many significant topics emerge when
gender is brought to the foreground, such as how and why women and men
experience migration differently and how this contrast affects
settlement, return, and transmigration.... Several migration scholars
have replaced early feminist frameworks in which gender hierarchy was
privileged with more comprehensive and flexible models. These map the
simultaneity of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, class, and legal
status on the lives of immigrant and native-born men and
women."

"As three
mass legalisations have revealed, migrants in Italy were predominantly
staying on without a permit and without being entitled to pursue
regular work. It was further uncovered that many legal migrants carried
out unregistered work in agriculture, building, housekeeping, street
trading, small manufacturing firms and within urban services....
Migratory chains transmit an image of Italy being a country where it is
easy to stay and to earn an income, even in the absence of a permit to
stay and the presence of a significant underground economy means that
Italy exerts a particular pull effect on those migrants more prone to
accepting irregular conditions."

This book contains 14
essays, some of which have been published previously, written by the
author between 1984 and 1997 on aspects of U.S. immigration. The essays
focus on the challenge that immigration since 1965 has posed to
traditional American values and practices. They explore how effective
American legal and political institutions are in dealing with these
challenges, and they address the coherence and meaning of the three
categories into which all U.S. residents are classified: citizens,
legal aliens, and illegal immigrants. The essays are grouped into five
sections. The first section describes the current immigration system.
Other sections deal with the courts and immigration, the politics of
immigration, citizenship and community, and current policy
debates.

programmes have developed as basic mechanisms to include or exclude

participation in the labour market are of prime importance to the
access to social rights. In both cases all migrants may profit from
contributory programmes."

links residential ethnic succession with propensities for riot
violence. We depart from previous research on riots by comparing census
tracts rather than cities, and we find that, controlling for economic
conditions and racial/ethnic composition, there is a significant
association between ethnic succession in neighborhoods (Latino and

pp. Abya-Yala: Quito, Ecuador. In Spa.
The internal migration of
women in Ecuador is analyzed in this study. In the first part, the
characteristics of female interprovincial migration are described for
the period 1982-1990, and the sociodemographic characteristics of
migrating women are explored. In the second part, case studies of
internal migration in the province of Azuay and international migration
in the Austro region are presented.

"Based on information drawn from many large
migration surveys carried out in mainland China, this paper analyses
the impacts of recent migration, especially those in the category of
`floating population' and related policy issues. It is argued that the
plentiful supply of cheap migrant labor is crucial to China's recent
economic growth in the coastal region.... China needs to reverse its
urban-biased policy, reform its household registration system and
articulate a more coordinated policy on migration, integrating it into
the national development strategy."

Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft: Munich, Germany. In Ger.
After a
brief overview of labor migration out of and into Turkey, the author
focuses on Turkey's internal labor migration. Two main migration trends
are identified: from east to west, and from rural to urban areas. The
author identifies economic and developmental inequalities as the main
causes underlying these trends. In the second half of the chapter,
labor migration to Istanbul is examined more closely, and the ethnic
heterogeneity of the city's population is stressed. The problem of
Istanbul's shantytowns is briefly described, and the relatively high
emigration from Kurdish areas is noted. Finally, recent migratory
trends are described on the basis of surveys conducted in 1994, and
possible policy responses are sketched out.

The author
first attempts to define the development process underway in Eastern
Europe since the fall of the Iron Curtain. He examines the effect of
this development on internal migration in Hungary, whose most prominent
feature is urbanization, and he briefly describes the role of the
border regions. There is a section on theoretical explanations of
internal migration during the transition to a market economy, followed
by a description of Hungary's actual population trends during the
period 1970-1993 and projections into the future. Contrary to
expectations, internal migration has declined significantly. Finally,
some socioeconomic factors underlying Hungary's mobility patterns are
examined; these include income, unemployment, number of enterprises,
wage disparities, and industrial job losses. In conclusion, geographic
migration patterns are summarized.

"Migrants in China make an
important contribution to the economy, yet everywhere they go they meet
discrimination and rejection. This book looks at their lives. It
considers why people migrate, the push and pull factors that operate,
and what the migrants gain and lose from the gamble that they take. It
looks at the different types of migration and the very different
effects that it has on the lives of men and women. Marriage and
prostitution also receive attention. Migration in China occurs against
a background of uneven economic development in a society that is moving
from a system of rigid controls on all aspects of life towards
something nearer to a market economy. The household registration system
has had to adapt to these changes. The government is caught between its
recognition that the rapidly growing economy of the coastal areas needs
cheap labour and its fear of chaos and urban unrest. This...book
explores these tensions."

"This article
investigates the effects of welfare payments, wages, and unemployment
on women's probability of interstate migration [in the United States].
It also investigates if the income attraction of locations varies with
recency of labor market experience. Welfare gains increase the
probability of interstate migration. Welfare effects are largest for
single mothers with small children and stronger among women with no
recent labor market experience. The welfare effects, albeit small, are
larger than the wage effects. The wage effects are weaker among women
with no recent work experience. Ethnic-specific analyses suggest
differences in migration behavior among Anglos, African-Americans, and

"The spatial assimilation and ethnic resources models, two
major theoretical explanations of the adaptation of immigrants, provide
different views on the mechanism of spatial mobility of immigrants. We
used the 1990 census 5 percent Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) to
analyze the migration of foreign-born Chinese in three large
metropolises--New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. We tested the
two explanations in this study and argue that our results largely
support the assimilation model. In addition, we contend that
macroeconomic conditions of ethnic enclaves and characteristics of
ethnic economies are also important in affecting the geographic
redistribution of immigrants."

Good data
are available for Bulgaria's internal migration flows dating back to
1881 and include local registration information as well as regular
censuses. The authors first note the linkages between internal
migration and emigration; between 1878 and 1990 most Bulgarian migrants
were ethnic Turks, who preferred to emigrate to Turkey. After the fall
of the Iron Curtain, many ethnic Bulgarians also emigrated, but since
destination countries implemented stricter immigration controls, more
ethnic Bulgarians have been migrating internally. Between 1956 and
1965, significant urbanization took place; from 1976 to 1985, the main
flows were between cities. Since the transition from a socialist to a
market economy, there has been significant return migration from the
cities to the villages, involving mostly older people who are retiring.
Fertility has dropped below replacement level, and widespread
unemployment and low incomes have contributed to a decline in the
standard of living and increased poverty among the population. The
chapter's final section addresses internal migration policies in light
of Bulgaria's development goals.

"It is well known that similar changes of migration
pattern occurred during recent decades in most developed countries;
core regions recorded a greatly decreased net in-migration in the
1970s, but increased net in-migration in the 1980s. Based on
shift-share analysis of the migration data of Japan, Sweden and Canada,
this paper reveals that changing cohort size, especially related to the
fertility fluctuation of baby boom and bust, has played an important
role in the turnarounds. Furthermore, it is elucidated from a series of
correlation analyses that this demographic factor was closely linked
with labour-market restructuring in terms of industrial/occupational
employment changes."

southwest region of the state of Paraná. The results show that,
although migration continues to be an essential factor in the survival
of peasant families, difficulties encountered by migrants to virgin
lands in Amazonia have resulted in changes in migration patterns. In
recent years, the trend has been toward migration to urban areas in
search of wage-paying jobs.

migration.... [This chapter] compares the magnitude of the three

the outcome of long-term deconcentrating trends that were interrupted
from the late 1970s to the late 1980s by circumstances that favored
metropolitan areas. The return of nonmetropolitan territory to net
in-migration in the 1990s appears to be due in part to favorable
economic conditions that allow more people to act on preferences for
smaller places."

study residential mobility, and the other studies interactions among
family members as part of the migration decision-making process. The
last three papers focus on rural migration in three non-Western
contexts: the Ecuadorian Amazon, rural South Africa, and

Internal migration in Sweden: the effects of mobility grants and
regional labour market conditions. Labour, Vol. 12, No. 2, Spring
1998. 363-88 pp. Oxford, England. In Eng.
"The main purpose of
this study is to investigate whether variations in mobility grants have
affected internal migration in Sweden. The paper also contains an
exploration of how changing labour market conditions influence the
migratory behaviour of the unemployed in comparison with other
individuals. The results indicate that total migration flows respond to
changes in labour market conditions in accordance with predictions from
economic theory. This finding seems mainly to stem from the migratory
behaviour of the unemployed. Furthermore, non-matching migration
subsidies at the levels employed are not found to be migration
enhancing."

"Shanghai delta migration
statistics indicate that the ability of the PRC [People's Republic of
China] to control where people live has declined since about 1973....
The paper includes a table of registered migrants in and out of
Shanghai for every year from 1950 to 1992, which aids a periodization
of the topic and an awareness that migration by uneducated people has
not received enough attention. Migration in the Shanghai delta
increasingly resembles patterns found for other developing countries
during the `construction phase', in terms of distance moved, by age and
gender, from and to different sizes of
settlement."

"Projections of the future number of
asylum seekers [in the Netherlands] are very uncertain. This article
examines how the number of asylum seekers can be projected. A
distinction is made between projections for the short and for the long
term.... This article introduces a model based on the assumption that
there are two types of policy reaction to changes in the number of
asylum seekers. On the one hand, if the number of asylum seekers is
increasing policies tend to become more strict in order to reduce the
number of new asylum seekers. On the other hand the capacity to house
asylum seekers is expanded."

After a brief review of forced migrations
to and from Turkey during the Ottoman Empire, this paper focuses on
more recent developments. The author first examines forced migration
into Turkey during the 1980s and 1990s, mainly of Iranians, Bulgarian
Turks, Kurds, Bosnian Muslims, and other asylum seekers or refugees.
The second part of the paper looks at forced resettlement within Turkey
and forced migration out of Turkey, both of which mainly involve
Kurds.

"Many analysts have criticized resettlement
institutions for placing displaced people in inappropriate and desolate
areas. We seek to determine the extent to which the Russian Federal
Migration Service plays an active, systematic role in the placement of
dislocated peoples, focusing on refugees (bezhentsii) and forced
settlers (pereselentsii) in the Russian Federation arriving from the
Republic of Armenia. Using data on regional-level forced migrations
flows, we investigate structural- and choice-based models for the
prediction of settlement patterns. Findings indicate that variables
associated with models of individual choice best predict the
resettlement pattern for forced settlers and refugees from the Armenian
Republic in the Russian Federation."

Migration und sozioökonomische Transformation in
Südosteuropa, edited by Wilfried Heller. 1997. 303-14 pp.
Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft: Munich, Germany. In Eng.
The author
discusses the recent history and future prospects of ethnically based
migration in two municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sanski Most
and Travnik. Before the war, Sanski Most had roughly equal proportions
of Serbs and Muslims, with a small Croat minority; Travnik had fairly
equal numbers of Muslims and Croats, with a small Serbian minority. As
a result of the inter-ethnic hostilities, Muslims and Croats migrated
from Sanski Most to Travnik in great numbers; in the end, the Croats
left Travnik as well, leaving it under Muslim control. After the Dayton
accords, only a small number of refugees returned to their place of
origin. The author points out that many highly skilled and educated
people have chosen to relocate to third countries, and that there is no
mechanism to support the practical challenges of returning people to
their original homes.

"Drawing on analyses of commuting data from secondary sources
as well as on selected results from a research project on long-distance
commuting in Britain, this article investigates the extent to which,
and why, households may choose to substitute longer distance commuting
for migration. Reasons for long-distance weekly commuting, and
associated advantages and disadvantages from individual, household and
employer perspectives, are outlined. The evidence points to increasing
complexity in home and working lives, with important implications for
housing, transport and human resource management policies, as well as
for family life."

greater possibility of changing social relations through seasonal

This is a general review of the
importance that the idea of a possible return to the place of origin
plays in the life of most migrants, whether they be rural-urban or
international migrants. The author distinguishes between labor
migration and migration for purposes of settlement. The problems of
immigrant assimilation and of the reinsertion of returning migrants are
also discussed. The geographical scope is worldwide, with particular
attention to France.

"The most significant population movement
affecting Australia in recent years has been a dramatic growth in the
number of short term arrivals.... While a substantial literature has
evolved concerning overseas students' temporary migration and
settlement, there has been only limited demographic analysis undertaken
to date, including minimal attempt to explore the participation and
specific student experience of women. This paper seeks to address this
omission through presentation of a detailed analysis of the
characteristics of Asian female students within the overall student
movement, together with a preliminary exploration of issues related to
their personal and academic transition."

Djibouti: migration and the urban integration of women.
[Djibouti: migrations de populations et insertion urbaine des femmes.]
L'Afrique Politique, 1998. 120-46 pp. Paris, France. In Fre. with sum.
in Eng.
"The history of the Republic of Djibouti coincides
with the history of migration in the region. Djibouti, the capital, has
been attracting most of the rural people desperate to escape successive
droughts and conflicts, to such an extent that its population increased
from 60,000 to 400,000 between 1967 and 1997. In order to survive in
such an urban context, immigrants develop multiple strategies. The
specificity of women's insertion--they are mainly illiterate and
unskilled--lies in their dynamism within the informal sector. Yet, the
strategies they display, save for a few remarkable exceptions, fail to
compensate for their extreme poverty and to ensure the survival of
their household."
