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."

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

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 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."

"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."

"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

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.

"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."

"A recent study...has shown that the lower immigration
flowing from the [Australian] Government's 1996 reforms is compatible
with higher average living standards. This is consistent with a large
body of research which indicates that immigration does not have a
substantial positive effect on living standards. Rather, the effect is
small and could be positive or negative. The difficulty of boosting
skilled immigration without lowering average skill levels reduces the
economic attractions of higher immigration."

Illegal migration and employment in Russia. International
Migration Papers, No. 26, Nov 1998. [35] pp. International Labour
Office: Geneva, Switzerland. In Eng.
"Through the analysis of
the illegal employment of foreign workers in Russia, this work
highlights, not only the urgent need to design and implement a more
sophisticated immigration policy but also to create adequate means for
its enforcement. Due to the nature of the subject, an attempt was made
to use key informants to develop a picture of the dimension of illegal
migration and its causes, and the questions they raise for immigration
policy reform. The author of this report is rather pessimistic on the
present ability of the Russian Federation to orderly monitor the
massive inflow of illegal migrants. He emphasizes that further delays
in the setting up of sound immigration policies may lead to major
disruptions in the [Russia's] national
security."

Trends in
emigration from Poland for economic reasons are analyzed over the
period 1870-1939. In the first part, attention is given to the various
ways that the Polish authorities attempted to influence this migration
over time, to migration policies, and to the institutions involved with
the migration. The second part concentrates on the changing ideologies
and attitudes toward emigration in Poland and their impact on
migration.

This article
"describes the process and problems of repatriation of the Russian
speaking population living in Mazheikyai, Lithuania, to the village of
Vsevolozhsk in Russia. For the most part such repatriations have not
been very successful for various reasons but in the case studied by the
authors, due to the engagement of a self-help group called the
`Committee for Resettling Citizens', some problems in the process were
avoided.... The authors come to the conclusion that those resettlers
who already have friends or relatives in Russia adapt more easily to
the new situation due to the support they receive from them. Finally
the authors look into the question of whether those Russian speaking
persons who are still in Lithuania will leave or
stay."

"At around two million, people of
Turkish descent and origin make up the largest ethnic minority in
today's Federal Republic of Germany. The largest proportion of Turks
living in Germany has already been residing there legally for two or
more decades, often already in the second or third generation. The
overwhelming majority of younger Turks was born in Germany, but owing
to Germany's anachronistic citizenship law (jus sanguinis), they do not
possess German nationality, even if a growing number has dual
citizenship. Still, there is not only an ethnic line of conflict and
cleavage between Germans and Turks, but also a divide within the
community of Turkish citizens living inside Germany (and in other
European societies). Since the end of the Seventies, above all, many
`Turks' have discovered and played up their Kurdish origins. The
article asks why a big part of former Turkish guest workers became
Kurds, not Germans, and why at all self-identification with a
transnational ethnic community abroad overwhelmed political inclusion
as German citizens `at home'."

immigrants arriving in the 1990s, highlighting the major destinations
in the region, and examines the effects of race and class background on
settlement patterns. We argue that similar to the residential
experiences of immigrants earlier this century, the increased flow of
immigrants to areas outside New York City is a product of the
ecological processes of residential invasion-succession and of
assimilation."

The conceptual model designed
for the IOM/UNFPA Project on Emigration Dynamics is used to analyze
international migration from Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The main
theme of this study is that demographic and economic conditions combine
with a set of social, political, and historical factors to create a
migration situation best described as structural, as distinct from time
or event fixed. "Direction of flow may shift occasionally, and
magnitude may vary, but because pressures are constant, high rates of
emigration will probably continue in the near future. The five
important dimensions of the structural features of migration from the
Caribbean to the U.S. are: the self-contained geographical space which
is the Caribbean; the creation of networks over a long period; the
successful assimilation of Caribbean migrants in the U.S.; the
continuing role of U.S. policy regarding ethnicity; and U.S. law and
sentiment which provide enduring support for family
reunion."

increasing stringent citizenship laws, and immigrant groups' varying
relationships to the labor market. Finally, the authors argue that
medical labels became more flexible over time, moving from clearly

I propose an alternative model in which the probability of migrating to

timing and the destination of Italian migration between 1876 and 1913
can be explained by the presence of social networks in the destination
country."

context of the various regional and subregional associations aimed at
promoting economic development in the countries concerned. The author
notes that migration in these two regions is influenced by the relative

economic agreements. He concludes that so far, southern Africa has had
more success in regional cooperative initiatives than eastern
Africa.

labor migration by introducing a gender-specific analysis that goes
beyond conventional definitions of labor by including in the discussion
the issue of an international marriage market and trafficking in women,
set within the broader context of a gendered political economy and a
global patriarchal system. The paper argues for the abandonment of the
strict distinction between voluntary labor migration and trafficking in
women. A more flexible approach in immigration policies is needed to
cater for the complex situations of female migrants and to protect
their human rights."

Unskilled migration: a burden or a boon for the welfare state.
NBER Working Paper, No. 7013, Mar 1999. 23 pp. National Bureau of

"In a static setup, migration of unskilled labor may be
resisted by the entire native-born population because, being relatively
low earners, migrants are net beneficiaries of the fiscal system.
However, the paper shows that with a pay-as-you-go pension...the
dynamics are such that migration is beneficial to low and high income
groups and the old and the young, provided that the economy has a good
access to the world capital markets.... The pro-migration feature of
the dynamic model is however weakened and possibly overturned when
access to the world capital market is limited. In the case of low
elasticity of substitution between capital and labor, earnings of
native-born may be significantly affected, and the factor price effects
can dwarf the effects of the migrants' giving to or taking from the
welfare state on the native-born
population."

history and selectivity of Turkish and Moroccan migration to
Belgium. International Migration, Vol. 37, No. 4, 1999. 679-713
pp. Oxford, England. In Eng. with sum. in Fre; Spa.
An attempt is
made to add the concept of selectivity to the analysis of labor
migration from Turkey and Morocco to Belgium. "By using a
combination of different data sources, a systematic comparison is made
of leavers and stayers with respect to their region of origin and
educational attainment. The (self-) selection of the immigrants is, in
other words, the empirical angle that is chosen to compare and
characterize both migration systems.... Implicit in this article is a
plea for the added value of the empirical operationalization of
selectivity in terms of understanding migration systems. However, such
an approach requires comparable data on the sending and receiving
countries. In this case, data were combined from two national surveys
conducted in Belgium between 1994 and 1996, with aggregated data from
national statistical institutes of the sending countries, for the
analysis of selection with respect to the region of origin. The same
survey data were used in combination with the DHS surveys for Morocco
(1992) and Turkey (1993) for the analysis of selection with respect to
educational level."

conceived of as a different path of adjustment for migrants and, using
Hirschman's concept of the Exit, Voice, and Loyalty, we illustrate the
reasons underpinning the predominance of transnational migrant

original fieldwork that explores the prevalence of different migration

"With the opening of the
Iron Curtain, the successor states of the Soviet Union became
integrated in the international migration context. But instead of
taking the form of gigantic waves of emigration as feared, the bulk of
the migration that took place was inside the borders of the former
empire. As the product of a research project that went on for several
years, the author presents a typology of the numerous migration
movements in that region.... Migration regimes--refugee and migrant aid
agencies--have been established in recent years at both the local and

The aim of this overview is to
highlight major findings from the joint International Organization for
Migration(IOM)/United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) project on
emigration dynamics for the countries of South Asia. The focus is on
identifying linkages among the various phenomena that affect migration.
The author concludes that labor migration from South Asia is likely to
continue for the next few years, but that eventual return of these
migrants to their countries of origin is inevitable, and therefore
planners should not place too much reliance on this so-called safety
valve to reduce pressures in those countries.

The role of social networks

this study, South Asia is defined to include Bangladesh, India,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The specific research questions addressed are:
(a) in what ways do networks facilitate the move itself; (b) does
migration through the network lower the cost of migration; (c) when
compared with migration through more formal channels such as recruiting
agents, do the dynamics of migration differ; (d) does migration through
the network result in clustering of migrants in specific occupations,
and what are the salary implications of this; (e) does migration
through the friends/family network enable greater success and mobility
in the host country, or does it result in unemployment and failure; (f)
in terms of attitudes towards migration, can we predict the
`self-perpetuating' nature of migration; [and] (g) does the sponsorship
of migration and degree of connectedness affect the duration of stay in
Kuwait?"

the public immigration debate is dominated by moral and political

workers and especially members of certain professions. On the other
hand, unskilled workers who stand to lose economically because they can
be easily substituted for by immigrants are for the most part opposed
to immigration." The geographical focus is on developed

"The spread of hostility and violence in Europe against
immigrants from the Third World has provoked much soul-searching in the
past decade over the resurgence of the old demon of racism in a new
guise. However, a perceptible shift in the rhetoric of exclusion can be
detected. From what were once assertions of the differing endowment of
human races, there has risen, since the 1970s, a rhetoric of inclusion
and exclusion that emphasizes the distinctiveness of cultural identity,
traditions and heritage between groups and assumes the closure of
culture by territory.... In this article, I intend first to examine
this shift in the way in which European anti-immigrant sentiment is
phrased. Then I will trace its social and political roots. I will
conclude by contrasting the ways in which the national political
repertoires of Britain and France have been employed to legitimate
mounting animosity against immigrants."

the East European countries we calibrate the welfare effects of the
brain drain. Our major findings are: First, Germany gains from
migration from Eastern Europe whereas Eastern European countries lose
from free migration because the average stock of human capital is
lowered. Second, the overall increase in income is positive, thus
international welfare increases. Third, taking remittances into account
does not alter the qualitative findings."

immigration which began in colonial times and became massive after
1945. Between the first period of strictly controlled entrance of the
first workers and the measures taken to regulate the flow and control
the migrants after Algeria's independence, a contradictory and wavering
policy gradually emerges with consequences that unsettled the original
society. Above all can be felt the persistence of a colonial vision and
management of the Algerian migrant. As a French subject he is from the
start a peculiar migrant, an `immigrant worker' before the word till
1939, then specially controlled and protected, never meant to [settle
permanently]. The children of Algerian immigration in France have to
bear the burden of a history catching them up from the
past."

An analysis of international migration affecting the Anglophone
countries of the Caribbean is presented. The author argues that
"migration...is not necessarily, or always, a decision in response
to negative conditions; national circumstances provide opportunities
which are extended by the migration option. The environments of small
Caribbean island states are extended to incorporate a `wider world'
outside. Within the context of language and educational systems based
on former colonial linkages, traditions have evolved in which
emigration has become a well-established institution. Indeed, migration
is not an isolated situation in the lives of the family or individual;
accessibility to flows of information, especially via networks,
determines how likely a person is to follow a particular type of
behaviour at different stages of the life cycle, although volume and
direction of migration are obviously restricted by legislation in
receiving countries."

hypotheses in connection with the evolution of the Italian population

into consideration the complexity and variability of the observed
phenomena, this study simulates theoretical scenarios, based on
hypothetical demographic tendencies. However, they constitute a valid
indication of the impact that international migrations could have on
the Italian population, whose increasing reduction is constant because
of low fertility and ageing of the structure. Therefore, the closing of
frontiers does not seem to be a rational solution on a demographic
level, for it would worsen the already delicate problem of the decline.
On the other hand, the policy of entry visas should not be disconnected
from the family policies, in order to [encourage] increased
fertility."

"Recent profound changes
in the world political and economic order have generated large
movements of people in almost every region. As migration has
proliferated, so too has the formation of diaspora or transnational
communities, leading to increasing numbers of people with allegiances
straddling their places of origin and their new homelands. At the same
time many expatriates have been forced to return home and other
previously scattered populations have regrouped, leading to the
weakening or un-doing of diasporas. This book charts the connections
between migration crises and transnational communities--their
formation, their demise and their social, economic and political
fall-out. Drawing on original research and a wide range of case
material, [the author] looks in detail at ten migration crises in the
contemporary world.... He examines the factors that are
accelerating--and constraining--the growth of transnational communities
in an ever more volatile world migration

Oakland, California. In Eng.
The concept that current levels of
immigration to the United States are a problem is examined in the
context of the evolution of attitudes toward immigration from colonial
times to the present day. The authors note that recent concerns about
levels of immigration are a result of the policy changes adopted in
1965, which did away with ethnic and national preferences for potential
immigrants. The extent to which immigrants are a welfare burden or an
economic asset is examined, and the authors conclude that "the
evidence cited to prove that immigrants are now taking undue advantage
of the welfare state is exaggerated or just plain
wrong."

The concept of culture is examined from
an anthropological aspect in the context of immigration and the
assimilation of immigrants. "First, I address the problematic
nature of the concept of culture in this field of study. Then I discuss
the relation between cultural homogeneity and heterogeneity and the
nation-state. Lastly I examine the notion of multiculturalism and the
crisis it is going through." The primary geographical focus is on
developed countries.

the symptoms of Dutch disease to labour-exporting countries.
Consequently, the theoretical model shows that through labour

Encouraging unwanted immigration: a political economy of Europe's

Quarterly, Vol. 20, No. 4, Aug 1999. 839-54 pp. Abingdon, England. In
Eng.
"It is often asserted that pressures for North African
migration to Europe would be reduced if the European Union encouraged
economic development on the southern shores of the Mediterranean. Such
arguments prompt questions about the efficacy of past and present
endeavours by Europe to support economic development in North Africa.
This article argues that the European Union's efforts have ironically
encouraged a form of economic development in its southern neighbours
that abets, rather than discourages, migration. Deeper economic reform
is necessary by the European Union itself--within the economic space
that Europe dominates--if genuine progress is to be made on North
African migration pressures."

wave of Mexican immigrant bashing. Review of Radical Political

In Eng.
"After reviewing literature which correlates economic
crises with immigrant scapegoating and shows the former functionality
of Mexican undocumented immigrants for U.S. capitalism, I argue that
the anti-immigrant sentiments arising globally today have a new
dimension that is closely related to the restructuring of the world
system as well as to the qualitatively different character of
immigration. Immigrant bashing is partially a reaction to the
`deterritorialization' and increasing delegitimization of the
nation-state as a viable `encapsulating' entity. Such
deterritorialization represents a qualitative change in immigration
patterns: immigrants from underdeveloped to core capitalist countries
have progressively formed `daughter communities' and become settlers
instead of temporary, circular migrants, thus becoming economically
less functional for U.S. capital."

"Five network principles are elaborated from
literature on Mexican immigrants and from research that I conducted on
immigration from a rancho in Jalisco state to a variety of destinations
within the United States. These principles are, first, that networks
are multilocal, encompassing a number of geographical destinations....
Second, the anchoring points at any given geographical location are the
work sites where immigrants find employment.... Third, new geographical
locations are often accessed through the `strength of weak ties',
leading to geographic dispersion.... Fourth, both dense networks and
diffuse, weak-tie, or acquaintance networks constitute `social capital'
for their members. Fifth, given the geographical dispersion at the work
site and/or work type clustering found among immigrants from any
particular source community, the latter can best be explained by job
recruitment primarily through dense network members, especially close
relatives."

International migration trends from the
Catalonian region of Spain prior to 1970 are analyzed. The author notes
that much of this emigration was related to the international trade of
the region that developed in association with its industrialization and
the need for trustworthy representatives overseas. "The article
draws a profile of the typical Catalonian emigrants, young, male,
unmarried, usually with some degree of professional qualification,
their position overseas depending partially on their parents' standing
at home. The decision was made within the family, and not individually
by the would-be emigrants. Thus familiar resources--cultural, social
and monetary in nature--were channeled to favour the young migrant's
settling and progress in America, and he was expected, in turn, to send
part of the profit home."

is found to be a persistent phenomenon for its participants. Legal

migration year after year. Female migrants are less likely to return to
Mexico, whereas married migrants tend to follow a year of migration
with 1 or more years spent entirely in Mexico. Surprisingly,
macroeconomic indicators of expected wage differentials between the two
countries explain little of migration
behavior."

"High levels of
immigration to the United States have caused the size of the

Recent immigrants are concentrated in several states, particularly
California. This article examines the determinants of the intended
state of residence of new recipients of legal permanent resident status
and new refugees from 1989 to 1994. The presence of other foreign-born
people is the primary determinant of the locational choices of new
legal permanent residents, but there are some differences among
immigrant groups by admission category and by country of origin. Only
refugees' locations appear to be sensitive to welfare

labor. Initially confined to rural areas, rural labor later expanded to
urban migration in response to regional disparities in employment and

research evidence show about the determinants of individual-level
migration intentions and behavior? The objective of this chapter is to
explore these issues. The thesis is that the intentions-behavior
relationship is fundamental to understanding migration decisionmaking.
Placing this relationship in the context of a general model derived
from choice theory and the microlevel literature in the discipline of
demography is the strategy used to help advance our understanding of
why people move."

places, stimulated heavy rural-to-urban migration; temporary migrants,
in particular, sought to take advantage of this situation to obtain
urban jobs and to improve the quality of their lives. Logistic
regression models indicate that permanent migrants tend to be older,
better educated and are more likely to be married than temporary
migrants. There are also substantial differences in determinants of
migration by gender, suggesting that opportunities for women and men
vary by type of urban destination."

"Unbalanced migrations which change the relative importance of
regions in a country indicate that the regional structure is not in
equilibrium. In this case migrational data are representations of a
disequilibrium process. It seems reasonable to analyze such data by
assuming economically rational behaviour of migrants but it is
impossible to do this by means of an economic equilibrium model.
Instead, the original gravity model derived from classical mechanics
and some modifications derived from statistical mechanics are used to
analyze the relative attractiveness of regions and the implied regional
long-term equilibrium structure. The interregional migration between
the 16 labour market regions of Switzerland during the period from 1975

socioeconomic characteristics and spatial patterns of major types of
migration, focusing on migration for employment in industry and
business, male migration due to job transfer, and female marriage
migration. I argue that the multitude of migration types, and the
contrasts among them, are products of the combination of state-planning
and market mechanisms. The findings highlight institutional
explanations for migration, and show that the 'plan'-'nonplan'
dichotomy is more meaningful than the economic-social dichotomy for
understanding population movements in

"This paper presents the results of an empirical analysis of
the patterns of inter-provincial migration [in Canada] 1982-95 using
the recently available Longitudinal Administrative Database (`LAD').
Rates of out-migration have been generally inversely related to a
province's population size, strongly related to age, and somewhat
greater for men than women, while movements have tended to be towards
provinces which have been nearby, large, or further west. Net migration
rates generally conform to expectations, but there is perhaps greater
variability in these trends than might have been expected, and a few
clear surprises. Overall, there was a slight downward trend in
migration rates over time."

"This working paper
is based upon preliminary findings from a study which sampled, by
postal questionnaire, private sector movers over the whole of mainland
Scotland in 1990, obtaining their preferences for housing type as
location and the motivation for their recent move.... The objective of
the paper is twofold. Firstly it will describe preliminary results of
trends in migration at an all-Scotland level with some inter-regional
comparison. Secondly it will attempt an analysis of motivational
factors by assessing the relative importance in migration
decision-making of factors such as employment, life cycle, housing, and
quality of life. A growing body of evidence, including the results from
this survey, point to the maximisation of quality of life as an
increasingly important element in the decision to
migrate."

"The migration of labor into
overseas Chinese enterprises in South China has been a significant
phenomenon in internal migration in China since the early 1980s. This
phenomenon has not only changed the structure of traditional Chinese
labor markets but has also reduced urban-rural differences in the
country. This massive migration, [undertaken] mostly by young women of
peasant background, has also contributed to the rise of a new migrant
working class in China. This article explores the management of migrant
labor in overseas Chinese enterprises. Specific issues examined are
characteristics of migrant workers and employer-managers, management
practices and the impact of management and worker's education in the
workplace."

"Frequently, in spatial interaction analysis, researchers are
forced to use destinations that are zonal aggregates of the `real'
destinations perceived by the participants in the interaction process.
Previous simulation studies demonstrated that, under certain
circumstances, the aggregated spatial choice model can outperform the
popular ordinary multinomial logit model, both in explanatory power and
predictive ability. In this paper the two models are compared with
interprovincial migration microdata for the time period 1990-91,
obtained from the 1991 Canadian census. Since this is not meant to be a
migration study, the analysis is limited to outmigrants from Ontario.
The results indicate that, at least with the data used, the multinomial
logit model performed reasonably well. The paper, however, highlights
some practical advantages that can accrue from the use of the
aggregated model."

"In this paper I explore
alternative understandings and experiences of migration, drawing on
in-depth interviews with urban-destined migrants in Ecuador to argue
that mobility produces ambivalent development subjects. Recent research
is retheorising the places of migration as deterritorialised
households, labour markets and communities that explode singular
concepts of uniform and contiguous origins or destinations of
migration. Building from this work, I argue that in contrast to a
dualistic and discrete treatment of the relationships between origins
and destinations, migration research can develop a nuanced,
imaginative, dialectical understanding of the interplay of identity and
subjectivity, of desire and longing, across the places of
migration."

disproportionately associated with the location choices of family
migrants for both whites and blacks. Expected economic benefits are
more important to destination choices by black families than they are
for white families. Consistent with traditional family migration
theory, the employment prospects of migrant wives seem to play a lesser
role than the husbands' employment in family migration decisions for
both blacks and whites."

The first phenomenon is that relocations are instrumental to goals
arising from a specific life course trajectory or `Career'.... The
second phenomenon is that even those careers that are not the actual
trigger for the move, are still pertinent to the relocation
decision.... The third phenomenon is that residential relocation, which
has a positive effect on the triggering career, can have a detrimental
effect on other careers or on the careers of other household
members." The focus is on the Netherlands.

1999. 1-11 pp. Cambridge, Massachusetts. In Eng.
"For perhaps
the first time since the founding of the United States the net
direction of interstate migration was to the east rather than the west
for the period 1992-1993 through 1994-1995. This and other findings,
such as a general slowdown in the southward tendency of U.S. population
movement over the period 1980-1981 to 1994-1995, are highlighted using
the concept of migration drift. I propose the migration drift measure
to summarize the net directionality and distance moved by migrants in
any country's population system. Like the concept of a center of
population or a population centroid, migration drift is an intuitive
one. Unlike the population centroid, however, migration drift
summarizes the pure effects of population movement without confounding
those influences with spatial variations in birth, death, and net
foreign immigration rates."

Time series data on U.S. internal migration
created by linking data from the Internal Revenue Service and the
Bureau of the Census for the period 1980-1995 are used to explore time
trends in interstate migration streams. "After briefly describing
the construction of my database and displaying sample graphs of
adjusted IRS-Bureau of the Census migration time series, I set forth a
methodology for benchmarking each series to take into account the
influence on observed migration flow levels of changes in origin and
destination populations over the study period. I then calculate
z-scores from the population-benchmarked flows and analyze coefficients
of variation calculated for each state-to-state stream of movement over
the fifteen-year study period. This analysis highlights the most
volatile and the most stable interstate migration streams. I then use
the z-scores to carry out a frequency analysis similar to those used by
hydrologists to examine the recurrence intervals of extremal events in
rivers and streams. In this fashion it is possible to define
numerically the levels of flow that represent migration floods (and,
similarly, migration droughts)."

migration at the state level, particularly in the four migration
streams (rural-to-rural, rural-to-urban, urban-to-rural, and
urban-to-urban) is likely to reflect the culture of migration. The
linkages between internal migration flows and indicators of economic

Ordinary Least Squares regression on aggregate cross-sectional data,
state policy factors are found to be significant determinants of the

previously untested variables, state ideology and an
investment-consumption ratio, are found to be significant. The analysis
indicates that states with low taxation levels, high
investment-consumption ratios, and more liberal ideologies relative to
other states, tend to experience more population growth via interstate
migration. The results suggest that a consumer-voter model explains a
significant portion of the variation in aggregate migration
behavior."

Migration' of African Americans during the first half of this century.
Although a period of decreased migration, the Depression was marked by
sizeable movement in which nearly 10% of the total [U.S.] African
American population moved interregionally. Ethnogenic measures such as
NAACP activism, the number of community newspapers directed at African
Americans, and the longevity of a chapter of the National Urban League
significantly increase migration flows."

"The changing
territorial concentration of migration flows is of interest to many
geographers, yet we still do not have a widely accepted index of
spatial focus. The much used index of migration efficiency has been
shown to be an inadequate index of such spatial concentration, and two
candidates have been suggested to replace it: the Gini index and the
coefficient of variation. Both are examined in this paper, and a
comparative assessment is offered. Data from the 1970, 1980, and 1990
[U.S.] censuses are used to illustrate the two measures. An examination
of the findings reveals that the coefficient of variation measure
indicates higher levels of spatial focus than does the Gini index for
states with highly concentrated flows."

examines African American migration from Los Angeles County, 1985-1990,
utilizing Census Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) data to identify
linkages between Los Angeles migrants and others in destination
households. Increased migration to suburban counties and to regions
outside of the South, since 1975-1980, suggests an overall
diversification of African American migration. The majority of
outmigrants were `independent' because they moved into 1990 destination
households that contained only migrants from the same origin, Los
Angeles County. Others were linked either to nonmovers or to migrants
from other places in destination households. A discriminant analysis
suggests that many migrants linked to nonmigrants were moving for
assistance, depending on others at the destination for housing and
financial resources. In contrast, independent migrants have the
personal resources to set up their own destination
households."

study, in-migrants are needed for economic reasons but prevented in
various ways from fully integrating into the host community. She makes
the case that, in fact, foreign immigrants in Germany and Japan are
treated better and have more rights than rural migrants in the cities

1990 census and a study of 75 villages carried out by the Center for
Agricultural Research of the Ministry of Agriculture, covering the
period 1988 to 1994. The impact of marriage on migration is analyzed,
as are occupational differences by sex.

The extent to which an
individual's life-course experience influences migration behavior is
examined. "This chapter presents a more detailed inspection of the
life course than can normally be found in migration research. One goal
is to illustrate how `unimposed' life-course trajectories and
transitions play into the migration decision, which means I will be
examining the diversity of times, ages, and events that influence
individual spatial behavior. This is in contrast to an `imposed' life
course in which individuals are slotted in stages defined primarily by
an age range and often bounded by selected events such as graduation
from school, marriage, or retirement. A second goal is to examine the
spatial nature of the life course: the sources and extent of spatial
knowledge and how that knowledge is incorporated into mobility
decisions. These goals are achieved through a critical examination of
narrative life histories, a form of qualitative research that, although
now common in such disciplines as psychology, history, and allied
health fields, has been lacking among tools used by migration
researchers." The geographical focus is on the United
States.

"Formal" and "informal" urbanisation in China:
trends in Fujian Province. Third World Planning Review, Vol. 20,

"This
paper, using Fujian Province as an example, divides China's
urbanisation process into `formal' and `informal' patterns; it argues
that `informal urbanisation' is often neglected, being ignored by
official definitions, and differs from the traditionally understood
concepts of urbanisation. However, the `formal' de jure urbanisation
sponsored by the Chinese government has become less important, while
the `informal' quasi-urbanisation driven by local economic development
and market forces has become increasingly important. `Informal
urbanisation' has been mainly encouraged by the development of township
and village enterprises, the creation of many small urban centres and
the arrival of many temporary residents."

This collective work
contains 13 studies by various authors on aspects of refugee
repatriation and reconstruction in their countries of origin. The focus
is on the repatriation that has occurred over the course of the 1990s
following the end of the Cold War. "The changing constructions and
realities of refugee repatriation provide the backdrop for this book
which presents new empirical research on examples of refugee
repatriation and reconstruction. Apart from providing up-to-date
material, it also fills a more fundamental gap in the literature which
has tended to be based on pedagogical reasoning rather than actual
field research. Adopting a global perspective, this volume draws
together conclusions from highly varied experiences of refugee
repatriation and defines repatriation and reconstruction as part of a
wider and interrelated refugee cycle of displacement, exile and return.
The contributions come from authors with a wealth of relevant practical
and academic experience, spanning the continents of Africa, Asia,
Central America, and Europe."

This is a
general review of the problems associated with internal displacement,
or forced internal migration, around the world. It is estimated that
such migrations now involve between 20 and 25 million people, and that
almost all regions of the world are affected by this problem. The focus
is on developing appropriate "normative and institutional
frameworks for the international protection and assistance of these
populations". The author offers proposals for filling the gaps in
existing legal norms for the internally
displaced.

Netherlands? The authors consider the question of just how much choice
the asylum-seeker has. Next, the importance is analysed of three groups
of factors in explaining the patterns of destination of asylum-seekers:
(1) ties between the country of origin and the country of asylum, (2)
the characteristics of the countries of destination and, (3) events
during the actual flight and journey which might influence the
destination of the asylum-seeker."

comprise this global flow, and at the highly gendered forces that frame
and affect them. In theorizing gender and forced migration, these

overpopulation, urbanisation and environmental degradation in

established settlement pattern.... Throughout, immigrants can be either
legal immigrants or refugees, and distinctions between the two groups
are made as needed. Evidence drawn from the existing literature and the

Ashgate: Brookfield, Vermont/Aldershot, England. In Eng.
"Ethnic conflicts have peculiar characteristics which affect
the number, type and quality of emigration which they generate. Often
these conflicts are especially violent, fought with a great deal of
emotion and tend to be protracted and difficult to resolve.
Consequently, those fleeing from them are often victims of abuses from
their ethnic enemies and tend to remain in exile for a long time....
Partly because of these reasons, and especially because of the
collective nature of ethnicity, emigrants from ethnic conflicts tend to
be refugees in neighbouring countries.... Various types of ethnic
conflict produce different volumes, quality and experiences of
emigrants. Eight types of ethnic conflicts have been identified:
irredentism, secession, nativism, corporatism, interest demands,
autonomy, hegemonic demands, and fundamentalism. Of these, corporatism
has produced the greatest number of violent ethnic conflicts and the
greatest number of refugee situations."

"In the 1990s doors have
been closing in the Western world against refugee claimants. Although
there are multiple causes for declining generosity towards refugees,
arguments that refugees pose security problems to host nations have
been particularly prominent. An historical analysis reveals that the
so-called `golden age' of postwar refugee settlement from the 1940s to
the mid-1970s was a by-product of Cold War security and propaganda
considerations. The end of the Cold War and the pressures of refugee
movements generated by Third World and former Communist block conflicts
had restructured Western refugee discourse. Refugees now tend to be
seen as importers of external political conflicts into the West. At the
same time growing European and North American resentment of
`foreigners' competing for declining job opportunities and reduced
social services have encouraged anti-immigrant political movements. By
tightening barriers and controls over refugees on security grounds,
Western governments are able to respond in part to these
pressures."

285-301 pp. Abingdon, England. In Eng.
"As the Caribbean-born
population in Britain ages, the issue of return migration of labour
migrants becomes pertinent. The migratory cycle model is examined in
the context of this postwar movement of labour to Britain. Return
migration is revealed to be a very complex issue and is only one option
which migrants consider. While return is considered a less desirable
option by some migrants, others are denied this option due to a lack of
capital. The close relationship between mobility and wealth is clearly
demonstrated here. Meanwhile, the length of time over which migrants
have remained in Britain has affected their lives and links with this
country while their places of origin in the Caribbean have also altered
considerably. Migration from the region has widened the geographical
range of migrant contacts and, at times, dilutes the ties to the place
of origin. Caribbean migrants appear to embody the notion of the
`transnational community'."

"This paper investigates human capital investment of
immigrants whose duration in the host country is limited, either by
contract or by their own choice. The first part of the paper develops a
model which distinguishes between temporary migrations where the return
time is exogenous or optimally chosen. The analysis has a number of
interesting implications for empirical work, some of which are explored
in the second part of the paper. The analysis focuses on language
capital and tests the hypothesis that country specific human capital
investments are sensitive to the duration in the host country's labour
market. The results show that the acquisition of language capital is
sensitive to the intended duration in the host country." The data
used for the empirical analysis are from the German Socio-Economic
Panel, which has data on migrants coming to Germany between 1955 and

1990s and that it continues growing at a steady pace. In undertaking
the analysis, the author develops a comprehensive migration systems
approach, which includes cultural and ethnic variables as well as the
usual economic variable.

Gender differences in determinants of temporary labor migration in
China: a multilevel analysis. International Migration Review, Vol.
33, No. 4, Winter 1999. 929-53 pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"Data from a 1988 migration survey in Hubei province [China]
are used to examine gender differences in the determinants of temporary
labor migration from a multi-level perspective. We find that community
level factors play a key role in temporary labor migration; models
omitting community-level variables are poor in predicting temporary
labor migration. Significant gender differences exist in determinants
of temporary labor migration. For men, temporary labor migration is
mainly a response to community level factors; individual or household
characteristics have little predictive power. For women, by contrast,
temporary labor migration is predominantly determined by individual
characteristics; community level factors are not as
important."
An earlier version of this paper was presented at
the 1997 annual meetings of the Population Association of
America.

U. Gender differences in the incidence of rural to urban
migration: evidence from Kenya. Journal of Development Studies,
Vol. 35, No. 6, Aug 1999. 36-58 pp. London, England. In Eng.
"This article examines gender differences in the incidence of
rural to urban migration in developing countries, particularly those of
Sub-Saharan Africa. The study distinguishes itself from current
migration literature by suggesting that the gain in returns to
observable attributes, as a result of migration, may differ by gender
and could provide an explanation for gender differences in migration.
Using data from Kenya, we estimate the urban-to-rural wage gap,
separately for each gender, and decompose the gap into the components
due to urban to rural differences in observable attributes and
differences in returns to observable attributes. We find that the
portion of the wage gap that is due to the gain in returns to
observable attributes is larger for males, suggesting that males
receive larger monetary returns as a result of migration and,
consequently, have greater incentive to migrate to urban
areas."

"With its theoretic
robustness and intuitive appeal, the human capital model of labor
migration has been successful in explaining several empirical
regularities of the migration process. While adhering to a similar
approach, the purpose of this article is to estimate, using survey data
from Tunisia, a model of returns to rural-urban migration which
accounts for self-selection of migrants.... The results lead to the
conclusion that by purely statistical assessment the expected monetary
gains effect is significantly different from zero, but that by economic
considerations it is small.... This finding supports the notion that
non-migrants in the [rural] population choose their status because they
fail to perceive more favorable returns elsewhere." Data are from
a micro data set developed by the Office des Tunisiens à
l'Etranger in 1987, involving about 50,000 individuals and 10,000
households.

The hukou system and rural-urban migration in China: processes and
changes. China Quarterly, No. 160, Dec 1999. 818-55 pp. London,
England. In Eng.
This study is concerned with the hukou system of
population registration in China, with particular reference to its
relationship to internal migration patterns. "The first section of
this article examines the role of the hukou system in the complicated
administration of rural-urban migration in mainland China. The second
section reviews the changes of hukou policies since 1978. This includes
analysing the array of new hukou categories created in the last two
decades, which has not been systematically examined elsewhere, and
discussing the major consequences of the policy adjustments with
respect to the rise in rural-urban migration. The final section
examines some major issues and explores the prospect of future hukou
system reforms."

Labor allocation of Chinese rural migrant workers in urban areas:
Job election or job enforcement? Asian and Pacific Migration
Journal, Vol. 8, No. 3, 1999. 329-41 pp. Quezon City, Philippines. In
Eng.
"China has experienced significant rural-to-urban
migration since the launching of economic and social reforms in the
early 1980s. This paper discusses the factors that led to the emergence
of the `floating population', describes the characteristics of the
employment market of rural migrant workers, and proposes some
alternatives for a more efficient labor distribution. Rural migrant
workers remain as `outsiders' in urban areas, despite their
contributions to economic dynamism in the destination areas. The paper
concludes that labor allocation seems to be a combination of choice and
enforcement factors: migrant workers exercise some choice in their
jobs, but their choices are limited to only a few job
possibilities."

the Harris-Todaro model revisited. Journal of Regional Science,
Vol. 39, No. 3, Aug 1999. 429-47 pp. Cambridge, Massachusetts. In Eng.
"In this paper we extend the Harris-Todaro model of
rural-to-urban migration to include urban agglomeration effects, some
urban real wage flexibility, and a government budget constraint.
Without employment subsidies laissez-faire migration is excessive
unless real wage flexibility and agglomeration effects are high.
Laissez-faire migration is too low compared with the first-best outcome
supported by subsidy, if its financing involves no costs. Simulations
suggest that such a program would imply a substantial increase in
taxation. If, as seems likely, an increase of this magnitude involves
economic costs then the optimal outcome falls well short of
first-best."

Microdata Samples. Environment and Planning A, Vol. 31, No. 6, Jun
1999. 1,093-118 pp. London, England. In Eng.
"In this paper
the authors describe the application of spatial choice models to
microlevel intermetropolitan migration destination choice data from the
U.S. Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) for the period 1985-90.... The
focus of the modelling exercise is to examine the performance of
competing-destinations migration models which are based on the
assumption that migrants process spatial information hierarchically....
The authors provide information on the determinants of
intermetropolitan migration within the USA and on the validity of the
theoretical foundations of the competing-destinations framework.
Traditional spatial choice models are shown to be severely misspecified
and the distance-decay parameter estimates from such models to be
potentially biased in such a manner that they exhibit the well-known
'spatial structure' effect. This effect does not appear when the
parameters are estimated from competing-destinations
models."

"Contrary to the indications of
official statistics, recent research suggests that internal migration
in Estonia may in fact be predominantly urban-bound. Applying a loosely
structurationist approach to analyse sample survey data collected in
1997, this paper attempts to explore why urban areas are attractive as
a destination, and why many migrants moving to urban areas, unlike
those leaving for the countryside, fail to register. Differential
urban-rural and regional development are the important factors helping
to explain the nature and direction of migratory flows in Estonia
during the transition period, while the (partial) removal of
constraints operating in urban housing markets facilitates the decision
to move."

Aspects of rural-urban migration in China are explored. "Using
qualitative research methods, this article presents the experiences and
perceptions of the Chinese rural female migrants as narrated by
themselves. It attempts to identify by this means the major forces
behind rural women's out-migration and the institutional changes and
structural barriers that have shaped women's lives and experiences in
the migratory process. The author argues that women are actors and
agents in this unprecedented economic and social transformation.
Through their active engagement in the urban labour market, female
migrants have challenged both the traditionally defined gender roles
and the spatial and socio-economic boundaries that have been
structurally designated to them. Their actions may catalyse a radical
rearrangement of the social, political and sexual
orders."

migration based on a baseline survey in the rural areas of Guangdong
province, China in 1995 to evaluate the impacts of migration policy,
rural community development, individual and household characteristics
on rural outmigration. The results suggest that migration decision is
highly related to individual education levels, marital status, and
household registration status, household dependency ratio and income
level, and community development level. Finally, the policy
implications on migration and development policies in China were
discussed."
