Kuba.] Erdkunde, Vol. 53, No. 1, Jan-Mar 1999. 14-34 pp. Bonn, Germany.
In Ger. with sum. in Eng.
The extent to which the economic crisis
and subsequent economic reforms in Cuba have affected patterns of
migration is explored using official data and other sources. "On
the one hand, previous migration tendencies, as the emigration to the
USA, the in-migration into the capital and the out-migration from the
peripheral eastern part of the country, have noticeably increased. On
the other hand, however, new migration destinations have developed.
Those are not only the considerably extended or newly founded tourism
centres, but also favourably situated agrarian areas...which have on
the one hand hugely profited from the reform in the agrarian regions,
and on the other hand have cushioned a part of the employees dismissed
from state industrial firms and service enterprises. The partial
liberalisation of the labour market by the admission of `Work on one's
own account' has allowed labour-orientated migrations [to] come to the
fore. These are likely to increase in the future and will on the whole
lead to an intensified attractiveness of the bigger cities. With that,
the regional disparities, which could have been to a large extent
removed during the socialist era, will increase
again."

"This article focuses on the
context within which migration occurs in the ESCAP region. It covers
the patterns of migration according to countries' stage in the
demographic transition process and level of economic development. It
points out that, although international migration is receiving
increased attention, it is internal migration that makes up the vast
majority of moves. Internal migration is characterized by a high
proportion of temporary migrants, a significant proportion of whom are
female, and people moving from rural to urban areas. The article also
discusses urbanization and international migration as well as the
impacts of these processes. It concludes with a number of predictions
about the pattern of migration in the first quarter of the twentieth
century, during which migration is expected to come to the forefront as
a demographic, economic, social and political
issue."

The relationship between
mobility and modernization is examined using data on German migrations
over the past 200 years. "Migration rates in Germany rose
continuously throughout the nineteenth century, and have fallen during
the twentieth century. Mobility, [the author] argues, was not an
unprecedented accompaniment to industrialization, but a traditional
rural response to specific economic changes. [The author's]...analysis
of urban in- and outmigration shows the mechanism of urbanization to
have been the migration of families rather than the much greater, but
also more circular, migration of single men and
women."

"This paper [seeks] to identify and assess the
determinants of 1985-90 interprefectural return and onward migrations
of the young non-native labor force (aged 25-29 in 1990) in Taiwan....
The following are the main findings. First, disappointments are more
likely to result in return migrations.... Second, the U-shaped effect
of previous migration distance in the return/onward model...supports
the disappointment hypothesis.... Third, return migration is selective
of the less educated labor force... Fourth, agricultural workers are
particularly prone to remigrate and choose return option from
prefectures with a high non-agricultural share of total employment.
Fifth, the relative sensitivity of male and female labor force...[is]
substantially affected by the patriarchal ideology; within this value
system, breadwinners are (1) more prone to move onward, (2) less prone
to return, and (3) more responsive to the pushes and pulls of market
forces than non-breadwinners."

investigates behavioral inconsistencies in migration using data drawn

number of people do not realize their intention to move and many move
unexpectedly; with or without prior intentions to move, movers and
stayers appear to differ significantly in terms of their
sociodemographic characteristics. The extent to which individuals act
consistently with their intentions also differs along with their
attributes (e.g., tenure, age, education and gender). The paper
discusses possible reasons for behavioral inconsistencies in migration

current theoretical perspective encompassing enlightened insights in
diverging specialisms in the field of migration history, such as
slavery studies, ethnic history, macro-economic migration studies, and
gypsy studies. The seventeen essays in this volume, written by leading
scholars in the field, collectively represent a pioneering effort in
migration and settlement studies. They address the problems of ongoing
specialization (and hence the need for synthesis) and the difficulties
of integrating the consequences of this new paradigm into general
histories."

"This article argues that
perspectives of migration as a matter of individual choice or
structural coercion are limited in explaining Asian experiences in
internal and international migration. Migration experiences in Asia
range from early coerced and state-mediated migrations to migrations
that are mostly demand-determined. A few exceptional cases, such as
that of Malaysia, Indonesia's transmigration programs, and enforced
migration on account of infrastructural projects, are noted. Also
highlighted is migration in China before and after 1978. The Chinese
path is distinct in that before market reforms, there was little rural
to urban migration despite a high rate of industrialization. After
1978, rural to urban migration and urbanization increased, but was
still lower compared to the rest of Asia. Whether China will go the
same way as other Asian countries and how the state will respond to the
challenges of increasing migration remain to be
seen."

"African peoples have
moved from one place to another for a variety of reasons; much of the
history of the continent depends on the movement and interaction of
peoples in time and space. In the colonial and post-independence eras,
those movements became central to the existence of people in many parts
of the region, ranging from labor migration to mines in central and
southern Africa, to coastal movements of young men in the Sahel, to
urban migration throughout all of sub-Saharan Africa. Older forms of
movement, such as pastoralism, have continued as well. And in recent
years, the movements of refugees fleeing natural and man-made
disasters, especially war, have added to the image of a continent of
people on the move.... This...essay briefly reviews the study of

Despite significant regional
migration since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990, the total
population of Siberia and Russia's Far East has remained fairly
constant. There have, however, been significant migratory flows within
the region which have altered the population distribution. There was a
reverse migration to more rural regions from the impoverished cities.
Ethnic Russians are migrating into Russia from the autonomous regions
and republics, while non-Russians are migrating back into these areas.
The more northern and remote regions have lost population, while
Western Siberia has gained inhabitants. Finally, emigrants to foreign
countries constitute a "brain drain" for the Russian
Federation, while labor migrants from south-east Asia are increasing
the potential for social conflict in an already precarious
economy.

Migration to and from Turkey, 1783-1960: types, numbers and

"Migratory movements to and from Turkey during the period
between 1783 and 1960 are analysed by grouping them under two headings:
non-economic migrations and economic migrations. The size,
ethno-religious composition and causes of each movement are considered.
The article pays special attention to the mass economic migration from
Turkey (the Ottoman Empire) to North and South America. Turks were
represented in very small numbers in this migration given that they
constituted the largest group within the Ottoman population.... The
article also considers whether there is any continuity or relationship
between the migrations of the pre-1960 period and the post-1960 labour
migration to Western Europe."

"It is [predicted] that immigration [to the
Netherlands] will stabilise in the long run due to two counteracting
forces. The growing immigration pressure from poor countries is assumed
to be balanced by...increasingly restrictive immigration policy.
Emigration rates are assumed to decline.... Nevertheless the absolute
number of emigrants will increase from 82 thousand in 1997 to over 100
thousand in the long run, due to the increase in population size. As a
result net migration will decline from 40 thousand in the late 1990s to
less than 25 thousand in the long run. It is assumed that the odds are
two to one that net migration in 2015 will be between 13 thousand and
48 thousand."

destination for both migrants and refugees. Although many of the issues
of migration policy are dealt with at the European level, individual
countries have continued to make decisions on many important
migrant-related issues, including who to admit and how to integrate new
immigrants. Following a general introduction, in which structures,
challenges, and policies concerning asylum and migration are examined
in a comparative perspective, the situation in each member country is

of this population mobility into inward and outward flow reveals that
while the former can be traced to political factors like the partition
of the Subcontinent and the Afghan war, the latter mostly represents a
job-oriented move.... Differences emanate from the pattern of permanent
or temporary settlement abroad, characteristics of the emigrants
particularly in terms of human capital endowments and the nature of
links maintained with families in Pakistan which have a bearing on the
inflow of remittances." A comment by S. I. Cohen (pp.1,006-9) is

"This paper reconsiders the fiscal impact of
immigrants [in the United States] over time, using the technique of
generational accounting.... (1) Because new immigrants represent a
larger fraction of future generations than of present ones, shifting
the burden onto future generations also shifts it, relatively, onto new
immigrants.... (2) When a policy of `fiscal responsibility' is
followed, whether there is a fiscal gain from immigration depends on
the extent to which government purchases rise with the immigrant
population [and] (3) The impact of immigration on fiscal balance is
extremely small relative to the size of the overall imbalance itself.
Thus, immigration should be viewed neither as a major source of the
existing imbalance, nor as a potential solution to
it."

Understanding factors which cause migration is the first step towards
finding durable solutions for economic and social autonomy of a

as labour migration into the planning framework. Both economic and
social conditions (such as the nature and structure of economy,
employment opportunities, etc.) at macro level and individual
characteristics (such as age, educational attainment, skills level,
etc.) at micro level, may interact to produce the migration dynamic in
a given geographical area which would reflect its migration potential.
The study attempts to provide a model which could be followed for
determining this migration potential." The data for the study are

European migrations in the sixties, after signing agreements with
France, the Netherlands and Germany. The evolution of the Portuguese

with global migration systems. Chapter 1 lays the theoretical
groundwork by discussing theories of endogenous and exogenous factors
of social change, especially as they pertain to globalization and the
opening and closing of boundaries. It also looks at migration theories
and "ethnicization". Chapter 2 examines the development of
migration systems and citizenship laws. Chapter 3 covers the
interaction between globalization tendencies, expressed in migration
systems, and the closing and opening of social and national
boundaries.

"This paper highlights the
distinctive features of the theoretical approach taken by scholars who
analyzed the impacts of the mass migration into the United States in
the two decades preceding World War I. Broadly speaking, this
literature was couched in terms of the `aggregate production function,'
and emphasized advancing technology, productivity change, and changes
in factor proportions. Attention was focused on the close
interrelatedness among the many diverse elements in the economy. A
notable difference between the historical studies and the recent
literature on the impacts of immigration is the propensity of the
current literature to concentrate only on the first-round consequences.
It is easy to show that these will be harmful to resident workers who
face direct competition. Economic historians writing about the earlier
period of high immigration went beyond the first-round effects. Taking
a long-run perspective, they identified many aspects of the mass
immigration that were beneficial from the point of view of the resident
population."

Amsterdam, Netherlands. In Eng.
"This paper studies illegal
immigration using an efficiency wage/dual labor market model. The
illegal immigrants are endogenously sorted, completely or incompletely,
into secondary labor markets. The effects of immigration on native
workers are more complex than in standard models of factor mobility. As
illegals first enter the country, natives may gain because the number
of primary sector jobs rises. With enough illegals in the country,
natives are hurt because the migrants increasingly take those primary
sector jobs. Enforcing immigration laws by deporting migrants who work
in primary sector jobs is Pareto-superior to other forms of
enforcement." The geographical focus is on the United States and
other host countries.

"The
present study is based upon the model proposed by the IOM/UNFPA
research project to analyse recent emigration trends and changes
compared with previous courses of emigration. Recent developments have
greatly influenced the social dynamics of each Central American
country, as well as their emigration patterns. For the purposes of this
study, we define Central America as comprising Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.... One hypothesis in this study
addresses the relation between the degree of insecure and unstable
living conditions of the population and the emergence of emigration as
an option for survival."

"This study provides a global perspective on the nature
of migration movements, why they take place, and their effects on
countries as different as Britain and the USA, Australia and Germany,
and Canada and France. Showing how migration almost always leads to
formation of ethnic minorities, the book examines how growing ethnic
diversity affects economies, cultures, and political institutions and
challenges existing forms of citizenship and national identity. This
second edition has been completely revised and updated, including
increased coverage of new migrations in Africa and Latin America and a
new chapter on the Asia-Pacific region."

This is a collection of studies by
various authors on aspects of migration from the Caribbean to other
parts of the world. The 16 studies are organized into six parts, which
are entitled: Rethinking diaspora; Migration narratives; Ethnicity and
identity; Family and identity; Caribbean migration cultures; and
Gender, socialisation and survival in Caribbean communities. "This
anthology brings together a multidisciplinary approach to Caribbean
migration from historians, anthropologists, sociologists and
geographers. It takes a comparative perspective on the migration
experiences of Caribbeans not only within the Caribbean, but to North
America and to the European metropoles of Britain, France and the
Netherlands. It shifts the focus away from the causes of migration,
towards the nature and meaning of the migration experience, a shift
which has radical implications for those concerned with the
consequences of migration and its future. It investigates migration as
a continuing historical event which has been informed by, and continues
to inform, a vibrant culture of transnational and circular migration,
in the `home' and in the `host' countries."

"We study the
migration of skilled workers, along with the skill acquisition
incentives created by the prospect of migration. We trace out the
dynamics of migration as foreign employers accumulate experience in
deciphering the skill levels of individual migrants. It is found that
migration by the relatively highly skilled is followed by
return-migration from both tails of the migrant skill distribution;
that the possibility of migration induces skill acquisition at home;
that until the probability of discovery reaches its steady state
equilibrium, migration consists of a sequence of moves characterized by
a rising average skill level; and that migration of skilled workers can
entail a home-country welfare gain."

"The settling of the United States is a recent
event. Unlike the colonization of South America, where a small minority
of Europeans imposed its law upon several million Amerindian occupants,
the colonization of North America was based on the early importation of
African slaves (roughly 400,000, most of whom were introduced in the
eighteenth century) and above all the massive arrival of Europeans
(nearly 40 million), which reached its maximum between 1845 and
1915.... Following a period in which the frontiers were relatively
closed (1915-1965), immigration resumed, with racial preference
eliminated. In 1998, the population of the United States reached 270
million inhabitants. Its ethnic composition is undergoing far-reaching
changes: in a few years, Hispanics will outnumber Blacks, a development
that is causing concern over linguistic unity, previously based on
English and now threatened by the spread of Spanish. In a state like
California, the traditional `White non-Hispanic' majority is about to
be overtaken by the `minorities' (Hispanics, Blacks, Asians,
Amerindians)."

"The recent
flows of immigrants to many countries has been categorised by both
legal/illegal migrants. Such migration flows have occurred despite the
presence of domestic unemployment of various categories of labour. It
has also been observed that migration has lowered the reward of
unskilled workers. These problems are analysed on the basis of two
alternative models: (i) where skilled workers and (ii) where unskilled
workers are unemployed. It is shown that migration may raise both
skilled/unskilled employment and welfare under plausible factor
intensity conditions. More importantly, illegal migration may help in
lowering the relative price of the non-traded good while the impact of
migration on structural adjustment is
ambiguous."

"Using data from the 1980 and 1990 U.S. censuses (5% Public
Use Microdata Samples), this paper provides the socio-demographic
profile of African immigrants in comparison to native blacks. The
results show that the number of Africans living in the United States
has increased by 6% per year between 1980 and 1990, but the growth has
been greater for blacks (11%) than for whites (4%). This racial
difference in growth changed the composition of the African immigrant
population from predominantly white (60%) in 1980, to predominantly
black (47%) in 1990; other races counted only for 11% in 1980 and 9% in
1990. Compared to native blacks, black and white African immigrants are
more educated, less likely to be on welfare, more heavily concentrated
in some states, more likely to be married, and more employable. These
characteristics are key determinants of the future conditions of native
blacks and African immigrants in the United
States."

place between 1850 and 1914. The focus of the study is on how the
growing concept of the national state affected this migration over
time. "These new constraints on mobility came to rebuild social
identities: declining inherited local identities were combining with a
new emerging citizenship and a more precise sense of transnational
spaces, at a time when the nation-state legal norms and ideology were
being enforced. These migratory experiences generated as many
misunderstandings and tensions as adaptations allowing both local,
social and national identities. So, we see once again that the concept
of identity can only operate once
historicized."

whether the nineteenth century really was a golden age for immigrants.
In the twentieth century the state has promoted increasingly strict
laws against immigration, but the success of these laws has been
limited. However, the growth of the central state has led not only to
the exclusion of potential immigrants but also to the inclusion of
immigrants within the welfare system. Moreover, in the nineteenth
century applications by immigrants to poor law authorities and to
charities could lead to expulsion from the
country."

for the 52 largest migrant groups in Australia. It finds clear evidence
of disadvantage related to educational qualifications and,
particularly, facility with the English language--although these
operate differentially for males and females--plus differences that
reflect the particular programmes under which recent migrants have
entered the country."

"The aim of this study was to draw a comprehensive picture of
international population movements/mobilities in Ukraine, to determine
the key factors influencing migratory movements, to elucidate the
nature, trends and patterns of international migration, and migration
behaviour, as well as assessing the consequences of migration."
The study covers the period 1975-1994, with the focus on 1992-1994. The
methods used are based on the ethnosurvey methodology developed by
Massey and others for the study of Mexican-U.S. migration. The survey
included some 440 households containing around 1,500 individuals. The
results suggest that between 30 and 40 percent of households surveyed
had individuals with recent international migration
experience.

"The dramatic contrasts in opinion about
the effects of international scientific migration are traced to its
intrinsic character as a polymorphic, recurrent phenomenon whose costs
and benefits have never been successfully evaluated. The tendency to
assign countries the status of `winner' or `loser' in migration
patterns is shown to be of dubious usefulness in an era of changing
economic paradigms and increased interconnection of scientists via
electronic communication networks. Nevertheless, those countries with
neither improving economies nor easy and inexpensive network
connections may still find themselves at a disadvantage in the global
flow of scientific talent."

pp. Paris, France. In Fre.
The consequences of the brain drain of
technically qualified professionals from developing to developed
countries for the countries of origin are explored. The authors note
that these consequences vary considerably from country to country, and
that some countries have found a way to profit from this trend by
finding ways to draw on the pool of scientific and technical experience
that the expatriate elite provides. Ways in which the countries of
origin, particularly those that are experiencing rapid rates of
development, are able to use this expatriate expertise or even
encourage the return migration of expatriates are
described.

The author identifies "six
main `holes' or areas of needed immigration research. Three of these
concern processes of immigrant incorporation: the persisting question
of selectivity in emigration and immigration...; intergenerational
differences in adaptation...; and macrolevel economic, political, and
societal factors shaping those patterns of adaptation. Three other
areas involve the field of immigration scholarship itself: insider
versus outsider roles among immigration researchers, the need for more
empirical research on the choices (and omissions) of topics and groups
that draw the attention of immigration scholars, and the role of
funding agencies in shaping the field of
study...."

This
study attempts to analyze worldwide trends in irregular, or illegal,
migration. "It seeks to provide within a single framework a
reasonably comprehensive analysis of irregular migration in its
different aspects and dimensions: its nature, characteristics and
magnitude; its causes, conditions and consequences; and the
inadequacies of existing policies and measures. Against the backdrop of
this analysis, the study in its last chapter puts forward a set of
specific proposals which can be woven into a coherent and comprehensive
strategy to combat irregular migration."

This analysis of migration from Brazil to Canada is based
on interviews with 205 Brazilian immigrants in Toronto in 1991. "A
large proportion of the immigrants who arrived after 1987, the year a
visa requirement was initiated for Brazilians, gained entry by claiming
to be `refugees'. Because of numerous court system delays, this
strategy permitted them to work, study and collect social benefits
until all their appeals, no matter how spurious, were exhausted.
Meantime, many acquired English skills and on-the-job training which
enabled them to score high enough on the Canadian immigrant point scale
to become legal permanent residents."

pp. W. E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research: Kalamazoo,

The authors aim to analyze the factors
influencing the composition of the legal immigrant pool in the United
States, and to describe the economic effects of this immigration.
"The research that is described here is based on a `human capital'
approach to immigration. Although we attempt to account for factors
such as political conditions and religion in source countries, much of
our focus is on the benefits and costs of migrating legally to the
United States.... Perhaps the most unique type of variable included in
the study is a vector or set of source-country social program
indicators.... The study is organized as follows. [After an
introductory chapter,] Chapter 2 sketches the history of U.S.
immigration policy, and Chapter 3 provides a brief history of U.S.
immigration. Chapter 4 provides details on the data that underlie the
models that are estimated in Chapters 5 through 8. Chapter 5 discusses
a model of the determinants of overall U.S. immigration. Chapters 6, 7,
and 8 develop models of the gender, age, and occupational composition
of U.S. immigration, respectively;... Chapter 9 provides a summary and
conclusions."

Working Paper, No. 98/47, Apr 1998. 29 pp. International Monetary Fund:

"The paper analyzes the ability of a
regional labor market [British Columbia, Canada] to absorb growing
flows of immigrant workers with declining levels of skills during
relatively high unemployment. The impact of the size of the flow and
the skill characteristics of the immigrants are analyzed. It is found
that immigration is positively related to unemployment in the short run
but in the long run is negatively related. Also, a higher skill level
among immigrants makes them more effective in their job search in the
short run. Finally, increasing the discrepancy between the skill
distribution of immigrants and that of the existing workforce is
desirable, as both types of labor appear to be complements in the
short-run."

Aspects of international migration from Sri Lanka are explored.
"This study examines the way in which informal networks and
community structures operate in two processes of migration, legal and
illegal. It analyses factors that have worked to motivate, facilitate
and promote migration and examines the processes which maintain the
home country-host country link and act as a stabilizing factor in the
return flow. Although the study intended originally to cover both
economically driven and politically motivated migration, it was decided
to concentrate on the economically driven migration." The data are
for a purposively selected sample of 37 returning migrants, 16 of whom
were illegal migrants.

border. American Economic Review, Vol. 89, No. 5, Dec 1999.
1,337-57 pp. Nashville, Tennessee. In Eng.
"In this paper, we
examine illegal immigration in the United States from Mexico. We
address two questions. The first is, how responsive is illegal
immigration to changes in U.S. and Mexican real wages? While long-run
U.S.-Mexico wage differences create obvious pressures for immigration
from Mexico, short-run movements in relative wages may also contribute
to immigration by encouraging Mexican residents to ride out Mexican
economic downturns in the United States. The second question is, what
effect does enforcement of the border have on illegal immigration?
Current U.S. policy is predicated on the idea that border enforcement
reduces attempts at illegal entry, in part by demonstrating that the
cost of crossing the border is too high to be worthwhile. We do not
know in practice whether such a deterrent effect exists or how costly
border enforcement is as a means to control illegal
entry."

This
study examines the causes and effects of the mass migration of about 55
million Europeans to the New World of the Americas that occurred
between 1850 and 1914. Among the questions considered are: "Why
did a nation's emigration rate typically rise with early
industrialization? How did immigrants choose their destinations? Where
international labor markets segmented? How successfully did migrants
assimilate in host country labor markets? Did immigrants `rob' jobs
from locals? [and] Did emigration improve the lot of those left
behind?" A major conclusion is that this mass migration made an
important contribution to the striking convergence of living standards
between poor and rich countries.

pp. Oxford, England. In Eng.
"In the last 30 years
international migration has been transformed from being of little or no
significance in Asia to being of substantial economic, social,
political and demographic importance. Two types of migration which have
increased greatly in significance since the 1970s are international
labour migration and refugee movements.... It is argued that two
elements, proliferating migrant social networks and the emergence of a
vibrant immigration industry, have given a momentum to international
migration which to some extent limits the power of nation states to
control it. There is some concern among countries in the region that
the increase in migration is creating excessive economic dependence
upon the export of labour. Fears that migration threatens social
cohesion depend upon the extent to which migrants settle permanently in
destination areas."
