"This document tries to show the close relationship between the recent population growth in the northern border cities of Mexico and the dynamic demand of the regional market labor. First, it analyzes the evolution of demographic growth and the development of economic activities, in the Mexican borders in urban towns, then it reviews the data from the survey called Encuesta sobre Migración en la Frontera Norte de México in order to explore the connection between the regional labor market characteristics and the internal and international migration flows."

In Spa. with sum. in Eng.
This is a general study of migration and of the reasons why people decide to migrate. The author develops a theoretical approach to the study of the causes of migration, which suggests that the decision to migrate is the result of a conflict that has taken place in the minds of potential migrants and their families in which traditional social and cultural values are questioned and found wanting.

"Net migration has been widely criticized as a theoretical concept and as a measure of population movement. Many of these criticisms are valid: net migration reflects a residual rather than a true migration process, it often masks large gross migration flows, it cannot account for differences in the characteristics of origin and destination populations, it cannot be used for rates in a probabilistic sense, and it can lead to misspecified causal models and unrealistic population projections. However, we believe there are purposes for which net migration is very useful, especially for analyses of small areas.... In this paper we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of net migration and provide several examples of how it can be useful for population estimation, forecasting, and analysis."
This is a revised version of a paper originally presented at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America.

This is the text of the 1998 presidential address of the Eastern Sociological Society, presented in Philadelphia on March 22, 1998. The author discusses the potential increase in the number of ethnic minority groups in the United States. "This projected shift has been seen by many commentators as implying the possibility of revolutionary changes in the relationship between majority and minority Americans, including a decline of, or even an end to, European American social and cultural dominance and a flowering of multiculturalism. In this paper, I intend to put these implications under a sociological magnifying glass and consider some alternative scenarios."

[La migración internacional en la Argentina: sus características e impacto.] INDEC Estudios, No. 29, 1997. 47 pp. Buenos Aires, Argentina. In Spa.
Recent trends in international migration to Argentina are described and the characteristics of recent immigrants are analyzed using data from the 1991 census. Particular attention is given to migration from adjoining countries, since migration from these countries has been significant in recent years. The focus is on the impact of migration at the provincial and departmental level and its effect on the spatial distribution of the population. The sex and age distribution of immigrants, their educational level, and labor force participation are analyzed and compared with the Argentinean population as a whole.

The author challenges and questions the arguments that have been made in support of continued large-scale immigration to the United States. He suggests that "a large majority of Americans are troubled by current immigration and would like to see it reduced, but they are perplexed and intimidated by the never-ending stream of clichés, myths, catch-phrases and fallacies, disseminated by the news media and other powerful institutions, that are used to promote it. In the following pages I will critically examine a number of these slogans from a variety of angles.... I will seek to expose the false premises, the deceptive assertions, the illogical leaps of thought, and the brain-numbing sentiments by which the immigrationists have kept America in thrall."

"This article demonstrates how Portugal, despite appearing to be a country which would be [an] unattractive country to immigrants, is rapidly becoming a country of immigration. The existence and extent of opportunities for immigrants in Portugal is assessed with this objective in mind. On the basis of an analysis of the country's labour market, the immigrants' economic profiles and the Portuguese informal economy--and the interaction of these factors--it is concluded that the Portuguese economy is currently generating labour demands which the immigrants are satisfying. In some cases they complement and in others they substitute for the domestic labour force."

"Since they became a minority in 1918/1920, the number of Hungarians in Slovakia and the shape and size of the region they inhabit have changed significantly. These changes were mainly caused by this century's main dramatic historical events. The paper gives an overview of these events and focuses on their specific impact on the size and spatial distribution of the Hungarian minority. Ensuing, it investigates the Hungarian region and the Hungarian character of this region.... A reflection on the impact of the radical political and economic changes of the post-communist era on the size and habitat of the Hungarian minority constitute the final part of this paper."

The 10 papers in this book were originally presented at a conference held in Jerusalem, Israel, in March 1995, on the impact of immigration on modern industrialized societies. "Nations originating from immigration, such as the USA, Australia or Israel, have reluctantly abandoned the vision of a melting pot wherein all ethnic origins would be transformed into a homogeneous national identity. But will common citizenship be sufficient to integrate an ethnic mosaic? Many European societies have traditionally identified the political nation with specific ethnic traditions. How much cultural adaptation can they expect from immigrants and how open are their national cultures for accommodating the immigrant experience?.... There is a common denominator: Cultural diversity resulting from immigration is neither seen as inherently desirable nor as a problem to be overcome, but rather as a challenge to which liberal democracies have not yet responded adequately."

"This paper uses the 1970, 1980, and 1990 U.S. Censuses to study trends in educational attainment of immigrants relative to natives. Immigrants have become relatively less highly educated, but have become more highly educated in an absolute sense. The effects of changes in relative educational attainment between immigrants and natives on earnings are studied. Educational differences are found to explain more than half the observed wage gap between the two groups. The paper also allows for non-linearities in returns to education. Sheepskin effects influence earnings in different ways for natives and immigrants. Differences in returns to pre- and post-migration education also appear. The paper also finds evidence that immigrants crowd natives out of education, although the effects are stronger in secondary than in postsecondary education."

It discovers three main schools of thought based on net pull factors: the official explanation and two unofficial explanations which focus on migrants as workers and on migrants as consumers. However the growing importance of net push factors after 1974 means that some of this work is less relevant today. Explanations focusing on net push factors have yet to cohere into a distinct perspective (or perspectives) but some research has been done on chain migration and family-based migration strategies, asylum seekers, temporary movement, and migration and the law."

"This paper investigates if the location choices made by immigrants when they arrive in the United States are influenced by the interstate dispersion in welfare benefits. Income-maximizing behavior implies that foreign-born welfare recipients unlike their native-born counterparts, may be clustered in the states that offer the highest benefits. The empirical analysis indicates that immigrant welfare recipients are indeed more heavily clustered in high-benefit states than the immigrants who do not receive welfare, or than natives. As a result, the welfare participation rate of immigrants is much more sensitive to changes in welfare benefits than that of natives."

"Using data on undocumented immigrants in the city of Rotterdam, it is argued that peculiarities of the Dutch housing market, especially the large degree of decommodification of the housing stock, lead to a specific housing situation and housing career of illegal immigrants.... The housing situation of undocumented immigrants in Rotterdam clearly shows how formal arrangements create conditions for informal practices.... A comparison between Dutch and U.S. data shows that differences in formal arrangements have substantial effects on the potential of ethnic solidarity within immigrant communities."

"One of the standard propositions in the migration literature is that migrants tend to be favorably `self-selected' for labor-market success. That is, economic migrants are described as tending on average to be more able, ambitious, aggressive, entrepreneurial, or otherwise more favorably selected than similar individuals who choose to remain in their place of origin.... In recent years there have been challenges to the general proposition of the favorable selectivity of migrants. In addressing this issue, this paper considers alternative specifications of the migration model that are relevant for the issue of migrant selectivity."

This study is about the implications of large-scale immigration to California over the last 15 years. The focus is on the impact of the process of assimilation of some 5 million newcomers from around the world on the resident population of about 25 million. The study is based primarily on census data. The author demonstrates that much of the recent growth in California is being created by immigration rather than by natural increase, and there has been a major drop in the proportion of births to U.S.-born mothers. A quarter of the state's population is foreign-born, and nearly one-third speaks a language other than English at home. The study also shows that although most immigrants are upwardly mobile in terms of home ownership, educational status, and income, immigrants from some countries, such as Mexico and El Salvador, are losing ground because of their more limited education and low skills. The case is made for a more rational immigration policy that would both protect the more vulnerable immigrants and encourage only those new immigrants that would increase the nation's capital.

The difficulties in obtaining reliable data on remittances to Mexico by Mexican immigrants in the United States are first outlined. An analysis of such remittances is then attempted using data from a recent survey, the Encuesta sobre Migración en la Frontera Norte. Data from this survey are used to analyze several aspects of remittances "such as the direct determination of the amount of the remittances and the identification of the immigrants that send them according to their social and demographic features, and the location of Mexican zones where the remittances arrive, [and] the variations in the amount and frequency of the remittances among the different groups of immigrants."

This special issue contains papers by various authors on migration and the informal economy in Europe. "It is conventional to identify demands for undocumented workers and to reflect on how relative disadvantage and population pressure in the countries of origin provide the pull and push of movement. This takes no account of how the people involved view their worlds.... Those without work permits are not prevented from working by widespread domestic unemployment for their wages are half the local rate, but neither are they targets for local opposition since the domestic and labour services they provide are beneficial to both employers and native workers."

This is an analysis of international migration between Mexico and the United States. The general approach is anthropological, and the study is based both on original data from 2,150 interviews carried out in areas of migrant origin in Mexico, and on previously published case studies carried out by other researchers. The study focuses on three primary topics: the role of this migration as a safety valve for economic and political problems in Mexico, the extent to which results from case studies can be used in more general studies of migrations, and the economic impact of this migration on agricultural investment in Mexico. In addition, the study attempts to expand on previous research by examining migration in new geographic areas such as the state of Guanajuato and central western Mexico.

"Low-skill labour migration from Mexico to the U.S. is a dominant aspect of general Mexico-U.S. migration. It is of even greater importance in undocumented migration in general and in undocumented border flows, and as such has become a growing source of concern and initial coordination and collaboration between the two governments.... The article recommends that any large-scale migrant worker programme be bilateral in nature."

"This paper discusses what the theory of international trade has to say about the relation between international trade in commodities and human migration.... I discuss only whether trade and migration are complements or substitutes, ignoring other aspects of their relationship.... I address factor migration in general, ignoring distinct features of labour migration.... I ignore models which assume some direct link between trade and migration.... I minimise analytical detail, offering a basically intuitive discussion in terms of simple, familiar models."

"Asia, with 60 per cent of the world's population, has traditionally been a major source of emigration, but in recent years rapidly intensifying internal migration has turned certain states in the region into destinations for foreign labour.... How governments are reacting to these new circumstances is the principal question we investigate. We concentrate on the substantive content of emerging immigration policies and goals towards which they are directed.... [We also] place the Asian cases in a comparative perspective by asking if their policies will gradually assimilate to those of the West."

Based primarily on data from the Encuesta sobre Migración en la Frontera Norte de México, results of a study of international migration from the Mexican state of Mexico to the United States over time are presented. The author notes that from 1942 to 1964, labor migration between the two countries was organized under an agreement between the two governments concerned. However, since that agreement ended, an increasing volume of illegal labor migration has occurred in response to the economic situation. Attention is given to migrant characteristics, the characteristics of illegal immigrants deported back to Mexico, and migrant remittances.

"This article focuses on forecasting migration between Australia and New Zealand (trans-Tasman migration), which is largely visa-free and therefore resembles internal migration. Net trans-Tasman migration is a major component of New Zealand population change and is embedded in this article in a Bayesian or unrestricted vector autoregression (VAR) model, which includes foreign and domestic economic variables. When time series of net migration are available, this approach provides a useful input into forecasting population growth in the short run in the absence of major policy changes. This conclusion applies equally to interregional migration and to unrestricted international migration between economically integrated nations."

The following section examines migration of professional and skilled workers to and from Australia in recent years and the implications of that movement.... The chapter argues that in the early post-Second World War period student migration and the brain drain were almost synonymous but in the last two decades this nexus has been broken."

This is an analysis of international migration trends in Poland during the period 1975-1994 using data from ethnic surveys carried out in various regions of the country. The author first reviews international migration trends affecting Poland since the end of World War II. Theoretical aspects of research on migration and the characteristics of the surveys from which the data for this study were taken are described. Specific types of migration affecting different communities are identified and the characteristics of migrants are analyzed. The political and socioeconomic consequences of current migration trends are assessed.

The article argues that the neo-classical view that skilled migration leads to overall improvement in global development does not apply. `Brain waste' or `wasted skills' occur frequently, to the detriment of both individuals and nations. Improved data and constructive dialogue on skilled migration are needed.

"The objective of this paper is to describe and understand the determinants of changes in the number and quality of new legal immigrants to the United States over the last 25 years. Our main interest is in understanding the behavioral response of potential immigrants to changes in the U.S. immigration law regime (as well as in the origin-country determinants of demand for immigration to the United States) and how these affect and have affected the skill composition of immigrants.... [The authors] assembled a new data set based on annual INS records of all new, legal immigrants over the period 1972 through 1995.... Inspection of our new data indicates that since the mid 1980s the average skill of new, U.S. legal immigrants has been rising relative to that of the U.S. population. An econometric analysis of a panel of country-specific measures of the skill of immigrants based on these data over the period 1972-1992 indicates that these changes are due in part to changes in immigration law and to the overall rise in the real purchasing power of countries outside the United States."

This collective work is concerned with the varied and complex ways in which women experience international migration, and is a product of a panel held in 1996 as part of the annual meeting of the International Studies Association in San Diego, California. The 11 papers are organized into two parts, focusing on the economic status and the social status of international female migrants. The discussions are primarily centered on the situation in developed countries. The papers attempt to provide answers to several general questions: "Does international migration provide women with an opportunity for liberating themselves from subordinate gender roles in their countries of origin, or are traditional gender roles perpetuated in the host societies? Do migrant women face new forms of subordination and discrimination in their host societies? To what extent is international migration driven by actors and institutions which exploit the social, economic, and political vulnerability of women across the globe?"

Second, it examines family migration, covering diverse forms of family reunification and formation which, although the dominant form of legal immigration into Europe since the 1970s, has received relatively little attention. Third, it explores the implications of the diversification of contemporary female migration in the European Union and argues for the necessity of taking account of the reality of changing patterns of employment, households and social structures to advance our understanding of European immigration."

This work was produced by the members of the Committee on South-North Migration. The committee was set up by the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population in 1991 to develop a better theoretical understanding of the forces producing contemporary international migration. The approach is interdisciplinary. The book "was intended to describe the international migration systems that had emerged in different world regions by the decade of the 1980s; present and evaluate the leading contemporary theories proposed to explain the emergence and operation of these systems; evaluate the efficacy of the various theories as they applied to trends and patterns in North America, Western Europe, the Persian Gulf, Asia and the Pacific, and South America, and then to synthesize the results of these reviews to produce an integrated theoretical vision capable of providing a coherent guide for future research and policy formation. We also planned to devote special attention to the thorny issue of international migration and economic development."

"This profile of 20,000 British and Irish assisted migrants [to Australia after 1841], based on individual-level data, establishes their age, sex, religious, educational and occupational characteristics. Their composition differed markedly from the existing colonial population and other migrant flows at the time. They reflected the recruiting methods of the time as well as the changing migration propensities in the British Isles. The migrants were better human capital than was acknowledged at the time. They constituted a new start in Australian demographic development."

"Population migrations in Israel simultaneously move in two opposite directions: while the initial distribution of new immigrants is primarily focused on big cities of the country's central core, the existing population of these centres tends to move outward, to small settlements where housing is more readily available. The effect of housing construction on population migrations appears to be delayed and tends to become visible with the passage of time. The initial low attractiveness of urban settlements in peripheral districts of the country to the new immigrants is mainly caused by [the] small size of the population in the settlements and an inferior state of urban development rather than by a lack of new housing or the harsh climatic conditions of these areas."

The papers are organized under five topics: Diasporas in world politics; Traditional diasporas in difficulty; Diaspora iconographies; The return of diasporas; and The challenge of diasporas. The geographical scope is worldwide.

"Migration has important implications for the financial soundness of the pension system.... While it is common sense to expect that young migrants, even if low-skilled, can help society pay the benefits to the currently elderly, it may nevertheless be reasonable to argue that these migrants would adversely affect current young since, after all, the migrants are net beneficiaries of the welfare state. In contrast to the adverse effects of low skilled migration in a static model, [the authors] show that in a Samuelsonian overlapping generations model...migration is a Pareto-improving measure. All the existing income (low and high) and age (young and old) groups living at the time of the migrant's arrival would be better off."

"In a stylized model of migration and human capital formation, [the authors] show...that low-skill immigration may lead to a lower tax burden and less redistribution than would be the case with no immigration.... Data on 11 European countries over the period 1974 to 1992 are consistent with the implications of the theory: a higher share of immigrants in the population leads to a lower tax rate on labor income, even after controlling for the generosity and size of the welfare state, demographics, and the international exposure of the economy. As predicted by the theory, it is the increased share of low education immigrants that leads to the smaller tax burden."

"Overtly contrasting with the dominant pattern of what can be considered as the first stage of the European cycle of emigration, women, particularly the younger ones, have been occupying the front-line positions in the unstoppable process of abandonment of the so-called less-favoured areas, especially the mountain regions.... This growing predominance of women in emigration processes is directly connected to a wider context of disagrarianization strategies. Rural women are using these strategies as a response to the multiple disadvantages that generally affect life and the ways of living in these regions, and also as a reaction to the disadvantages that they experience as women."

This is a general review of international migration to France over the course of the twentieth century. The author notes that immigration has contributed over 10 million persons to the French population over the past century. Of these, four million were born outside France, and six million are the children of immigrants. The changes that have occurred in immigration over the years are described, and their relationship to various political and socioeconomic events is considered, as are the changes in attitude and policy concerning immigrants in response to those events. The differences in the ease of immigrant assimilation into French society over time are noted, particularly as many of the more recent immigrants have come from outside Europe and have cultural and ethnic backgrounds that make them more easily distinguishable from the general population than was the case for earlier immigrants. The author discusses the problems of developing population policy in the context of the European Union and of the different objectives of member countries regarding immigration.

"Labour migration to the Gulf countries is predominantly contract based and a majority of workers fall below the salary ceiling necessary for sponsoring family members. Despite this, social networks have expanded in Kuwait, primarily in the form of sponsorship of additional labour migrants by those already in the country. The objectives of the article are to describe how the process of arranging sponsorship works, to delineate the predictors of moving through a friend or relative, or arranging sponsorship for a subsequent labour migrant, and to assess the `multiplier' effect of the above process. The article is based on a survey among 800 South Asian skilled and unskilled male migrants, 200 each from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka."

Second, migration and remittances influence migrant sending economies in ways that are usually overlooked by migration research.... Third, the economic environments that encourage out-migration also limit the potential for migrant remittances to stimulate development in migrant sending areas."

This study examines the extent to which foreigners living in Switzerland have been able to acquire Swiss nationality over the past 15 years. In the first part, the author describes the context in which naturalization occurs. He discusses the relevant laws and statutes and describes how they have changed over time, and how the situation in Switzerland compares with that in neighboring countries. In the second part, trends in naturalization are analyzed over the period 1981-1996. The relationship between naturalization and the assimilation of immigrants is considered.

This is a study of immigration to colonial North America by Germans and the Irish. The focus is on how the trade in immigrants influenced the numbers, types, and experiences of the immigrants concerned. The author suggests that these immigrant experiences established the model for the mass migration of free persons to the United States that has done so much to fashion the nature of modern America.

"Focusing on Asian immigrants, this article demonstrates that much insight into immigrant quality can be gained via a diversity approach. Using the 5% PUMS data of the 1990 U.S. census, this paper shows that a common perception that the quality of post-1965 immigrants is lower than natives and earlier immigrants is invalid for post-1965 Asian immigrants. Unlike their Latin American counterparts, post-1965 Asian immigrants are generally more educated and skilled than natives. The educational level of post-1965 Asian immigrants surpasses that of their pre-1965 counterparts, despite their disadvantage in occupational attainment due to their shorter time of adaptation."

"Relying on data from a variety of sources, this article sketches the main trends of international migration during 1965-1996, thus documenting the changes that both the character and the direction of international migration have undergone over the course of time. In doing so, it provides a quantitative basis to assess the validity of certain common tenets regarding the evolution of migration at the end of the twentieth century. The article concludes that the changes observed are generally less striking than usually claimed, although major historical events, such as the end of the cold war and the transformations it entailed, have had a determining influence in shaping many of the key migration movements occurring since 1985."

"Economic reform in China has led to migration of people within the world's most populous nation on a scale never before seen. Since China's new industrial revolution began in the late 1970s, there has been a flow of tens of millions (perhaps even hundreds of millions) of surplus rural laborers and their families moving from rural to urban areas. This phenomenon has been described in terms of both a blessing for China's economic development and a threat against its social order. It is the aim of this short edited volume to look at the different aspects of internal Chinese migration. This will include a brief introduction to current research and pointers to the methodological traps and misunderstandings that can occur in the field."

"Conventional census-based measures of population mobility are conceptually abstruse, ignore multiple moves and obscure the diversity of human migration experience. This paper explores three alternatives and outlines their strengths and limitations. Application of life table techniques to convert transition rates to migration expectancies generates measures that are more readily understood, automatically standardizes for age and enables the timing of mobility to be analysed methodically. Data on movement frequencies and residence duration provide new perspectives indicating substantial chronic mobility and significant differences between frequent movers and long term stayers. A number of simple summary statistics are proposed to supplement transition rates."

"The Australian Census provides two approaches to measuring migration: indicators which distinguish movers from non-movers, and a geographic classification which identifies each person's usual residence on census night, and their usual address one year and five years previously. Although these data represent a rich source of information, they contain several traps for the unwary. We show that differences in the variables and classifications used can result in marked variations in the apparent intensity and patterns of migration. The questionnaire and processing methodology used in the 1996 Census also resulted in a number of inconsistencies between the migration indicators and the usual address information. We examine the magnitude and source of these anomalies, assess their implications and propose a partial solution."

The authors note that there seems to be a trend toward higher levels of migration over time, and that if this trend were to be confirmed through an analysis of 1999 census data when they become available, the value of this source of data on migration would be established. The value of these new data for projecting future migration trends and evaluating health risks associated with residence characteristics is also examined.

Permanent migration flows among seven regions and three settlement classes are analyzed....

"It is our thesis that interaction among family members in the form of exchanges of information about home, community, and labor market environments is a key process in migration decision making. We argue that the frequency of interaction among members of the household, and the consensus/conflict which accompanies such interactions are two theoretically significant dimensions for migration decision models.... Our research model states that migration behavior is directly determined by the desire and expectation of moving, which in turn is the result of household interaction processes." The model is illustrated with data from a Pennsylvania migration survey.

"Is geographical migration a consequence of the end of unemployment or does it help in finding a job? This question is approached within the general framework of human capital theory.... A model is introduced in the form of a system of two simultaneous equations with qualitative endogenous variables. The test is based on a 1993 survey of 1,176 young rural people of seven areas of France. A main finding is that migrations of young rural people are essentially the result of professional preoccupations. However, migration is not a factor which always helps in finding a job, when people are unemployed. When a young person has a good initial training, he or she has to migrate (and leave a rural area) to get a job. Yet, migration does not seem to be necessary for less trained people."

"The aim of this paper is to analyse the expectancy of in-migration in the districts of Madhya Pradesh State [India, using the 1981 census].... The percentage of in-migration in Madhya Pradesh from rural areas is very high (84.83), in comparison to the urban areas (15.17). The influences of industrialisation, urbanisation and facilities of higher education on in-migration has been analysed and found significant. The Chhattisgarh Basin and Malwa Plateau are the regions where the expectancy and actual in-migration are high."

Population and Development Program Working Papers Series, No. 98.05, [1998]. 16, [8] pp. Cornell University, Department of Rural Sociology, Population and Development Program: Ithaca, New York. In Eng.
"Using 1990 PUMS data, this paper examines the sources of differentials between immigrants and natives in [U.S.] interstate migration in the 1985-90 period. In addition to comparing differentials for immigrants as a whole and natives, the immigration population is disaggregated into 24 national origin groups in order to identify distinctive patterns among immigrants. Three sets of factors are evaluated: individual human capital, social and immigrant capital of nativity groups, and economic conditions in state context of residence. The analysis shows that while human capital is the most important determinant for the total foreign born [migration], contextual dimensions associated with nativity groups and state economic context play a major role in determining whether immigrants move to another state. Immigrants are significantly less likely to leave states [with] higher economic growth rates and higher percentages of the labor force in manufacturing. In addition, immigrants are significantly less likely to leave states with high concentrations of other immigrants of the same national origin."

This is the first official Israeli publication to focus on subsequent internal migration of immigrants who came to Israel in the 1990s. The report examines how variables such as length of stay in Israel, year of immigration, and year of internal migration affect the scope and direction of migration.

"This paper carries forward the dialogue relating to the net migration problem.... [It] outlines the scenarios that probably emerge in the areas that experience a net inflow of people and those that experience a net loss, followed by an analysis of the changing relationship of net migration rates of one period to those of another in Wisconsin counties [United States. It] suggests strategies to mitigate the net migration problem and presents results of applying it in two cases...."

"A set of log-rate models is proposed to transform Rogers and Wilson's accounting-based migration models into statistics-oriented migration models. This study demonstrates not only how log-rate models can be used to replicate results generated from Rogers-Wilson's cohort and multi-region mobility models, but also how log-rate models can be used to make statistical inferences and to derive more parsimonious models. Estimation issues and model fit are discussed, and case studies with U.S. mobility and interregional migration data are provided. The flexibility of log-rate models is emphasized, and possible uses for such models, such as the testing of various hypotheses and migration projection, are explored. Potential applications and limitations of log-rate models are also discussed."

65:30517 Lin, Ge. Elderly migration: household versus individual approaches. Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 76, No. 3, Jul 1997. 285-300 pp. Urbana, Illinois. In Eng.
"This paper employs a household approach to elderly migration analyses and compares it with the traditional individual approach. The first part of the paper develops some concepts about household mobility and relates them to individual mobility. It then compares the two mobility measurements in a case study using the [U.S.] Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) from the 1990 Census. The results show that the mean household size for the elderly moving together tends to be smaller than that for elderly stayers. It also demonstrates the utility of the household approach on profiling elderly movers' living arrangement choices. The second part of the paper calibrates a set of discrete choice models based on the household and individual approaches. While in most cases the two approaches yield similar parameter estimates, new insights can still be gained through the household approach."

"The main objectives of this paper are (1) to identify the determinants of job-related fast repeat migrations of individuals in the civilian labor force of Taiwan, and (2) to examine whether the effects of these determinants are largely consistent with the existing theories and with the findings of other empirical studies. Our study is based on the linked microdata of the annual national migration surveys of Taiwan from 1980 through 1989.... We review the main theories of repeat migrations and formulate a set of hypotheses that can be tested against the Taiwanese data."

"Theoretical formulations, model building, and macro- and micro-level empirical studies on migration [in India] have neglected the gender dimension of migratory processes, patterns, trends and consequences. The past two decades have begun to witness interest in this area. This introductory paper to this special issue on `Women and Migration' has attempted to provide an overview of selected material in this area."
