Methods of Research and Analysis Including Models, as appropriate. Includes some consideration of policy aspects, but studies relating primarily to policies designed to affect migration are coded under M.3. Measures Affecting Migration.

This study is in two parts. The first part
examines the development of theories on human migration. The second
part presents seven empirical studies on migration, which are on the
acculturation of immigrants from outside the European Union in Rimini,
changes in social behavior of Senegalese migrants in Italy, education
in multicultural societies in Europe, Italian and German immigrants in
southern Brazil, immigrant families and social change in Brazil, and
Italian research on the sociology of migration.

"A key objective of the paper is to present a
review of existing economic theory and empirical evidence to evaluate
the likelihood of migration flows from acceding countries (and
neighboring countries) toward the current [European Union] EU member
states. In particular, the analysis will derive the implications of the
existing evidence for the size and skill composition of the migration
flows that might occur between the acceding countries and the current
EU member states. The paper will also briefly review the migration
policies that are currently in place, and make policy recommendations
to allay the serious concerns raised by the migration issue in the
context of the European Union."

This
collective work examines aspects of recent trends in immigration from
Latin America to North America. "At a time when many
immigrant-sending nations are becoming increasingly reliant on money
sent home by their nationals, the United States, Canada, and other
immigrant-receiving societies are tightening immigration policies while
promoting free trade and hemispheric integration. Where will these
developments lead? Will countries in the North adopt ever more
restrictive immigration laws? Would stricter laws be effective? What
trends in the South make enforcement of immigration controls difficult,
if not impossible? Are free trade agreements and restrictive
immigration policies compatible? In this volume, leading scholars
analyze these and other critical
questions."

1999. 61-84 pp. Santiago, Chile. In Eng.
"The article contains
a brief analysis of traditional methods for estimating migratory flows
and proposes that their practical applicability can be maintained
through the use of three basic questions: the country of birth, the
country of residence five years before the census date and the year or
date of arrival in the country of persons born elsewhere. It is noted
that the latter category of international migrants is the one that has
been studied the most, particularly by means of a comparative approach
involving cross-country exchanges of census data on migrant population
stocks. The article emphasizes that the relevant pool of knowledge
includes not only quantitative information on migration, but also the
territorial, social, economic and demographic specificities of
migration both from and into a given country; these types of data
represent the main advantage of traditional estimation
methods."

"In the 1990s the annual number of
changes of nationality [in the Netherlands] was much higher than during
the preceding decades. This is probably related to the practice,
introduced on 1 January 1992, allowing non-Dutch nationals who adopted
the Dutch nationality to keep the original nationality as well.
According to a recent change in regulations...inhabitants of the
Netherlands can in principle have no more than one nationality.
However, there are a number of exceptions to this principle. Almost all
of the 85 thousand Turks who became Dutch nationals in 1995-1997
decided to keep the Turkish nationality as well. The same holds for
Moroccans and Iranians, but for them it is almost impossible to give up
the Moroccan or Iranian nationality, due to the law on citizenship in
these countries. The large number of changes of nationality led to a
decrease in the number of non-Dutch nationals in the
Netherlands."

Vol. 8, No. 4, 1999. 511-36 pp. Quezon City, Philippines. In Eng.
"Research on Asian migration flows to and community creation
in Great Britain has neglected the case of Sri Lankans. In fact Sri
Lankans by 1991 constituted the sixth biggest Asian community, with
over 39,000 residents of Britain having been born in Sri Lanka. An
estimate of the population of Sri Lankan origins by the end of the
1990s suggests around 65,000 residents, including British-born
offspring. Using information on country of birth from the 1991 British
census, this paper discusses the characteristics of the Sri Lankan
community. It is shown to be markedly different from other South Asian
groups in a number of respects, most particularly through its extreme,
and growing, geographical concentration in the South East and Greater
London."

"The study
explores the impact of temporary and more permanent internal migration,
along with family resources and individual human capital attributes, on
upward and downward job transitions of workers in Thailand. Four
multinomial logit origin and destination occupational transition models
were estimated using the 1992 National Migration Survey of Thailand.
Results showed that the increasingly frequent phenomenon of temporary
migration was consistently associated with both lower occupational
transition rates and downward occupational mobility. More permanent
migration was associated with both upward and downward occupational
mobility, and migration to Bangkok affected only specific occupational
sector transitions."

interactions of migrants and their households of origin: are women more

No. 4, 1999. 447-71 pp. Quezon City, Philippines. In Eng.
"One
of the salient features of internal migration in Thailand is the
increasing participation of women in population mobility. Drawn by
growing economic opportunities in urban areas, more and more women are
participating in migration streams. This paper examines, from a gender
perspective, the interactions between migrants and their households of
origin, in terms of the transfer of money and goods. The analysis of
the National Migration Survey data suggests that, as the theory of New
Economics of Labour migration posits, migration might have functioned
as a survival strategy of many Thai households. The flows of money and
goods into migrant sending households are large and essential
supplements for the livelihood of the households. Presumably
conditioned by traditional gender roles in Thai culture, female
migrants showed deeper commitment than male migrants in providing
economic supports for their households left
behind."

"A unique
data set collected in Dungarpur--one of the less developed districts of
India--allows us to closely examine both the determinants and impact of
seasonal migration. Detailed information was gathered from all members
of 624 households. Thus enabling analyses at both individual and
household levels. The findings indicate that seasonal migration among
rural laborers is wide-spread. Rural households in India use migrant
labor offered by their members to improve their well-being by both
reducing the impacts of inferior conditions and by raising household's
income levels. Migrant labor is a compensating mechanism used by
households to reduce their disadvantageous
position."

separation of rural labor migrants from other categories of the
floating population such as students, tourists, relatives on social
visits, and business people from outside Shanghai. From 61 to 78
percent of the floating population can be classified as rural labor
migrants. Particular attention is given to the demographic and
occupational characteristics of this stigmatized group, as well as to
the factors influencing their duration of stay in the
city."
