This study
reviews both traditional and newly developed methods for analyzing
human migration and spatial mobility. The first part is concerned with
using direct sources of information such as population registers,
censuses, and surveys. The second part examines the links between
these various data sources and the methods required to analyze them,
with an emphasis on the use of sophisticated models to examine
different types of mobility. A third part concentrates on the use of
indirect methods of estimating migration from incomplete or inadequate
data, with particular reference to the study of migration in developing
countries. The geographical scope of the work as a whole is
worldwide.

"This paper develops a
theoretical model which analyzes the impact of the spatial distribution
of a family's stock of human capital on its migration decision. This
stock of human capital is composed of location-specific and
non-specific human capital. The distribution of location-specific
capital is a function of the residential and employment history of the
family, while non-specific capital is distributed evenly over space.
An empirical specification of the model is derived and estimated with a
[U.S.] data set consisting of a number of cases from the Michigan Panel
Study of Income Dynamics."

"The role of location-specific amenities in
human migration decisions, and subsequently regional development, is
explored. A framework is developed which motivates a new assessment of
existing alternative models of regional development, indicating the
need for additional modeling efforts which focus upon amenities as
critical elements in such analyses. The approach hinges upon the
notion that amenity values are capitalized into wages, rents, or other
local prices. This process of capitalization enables researchers to
explore the implicit value that society places upon amenities, which
can then be used in assessing future regional-development trends in a
more comprehensive manner."

familial characteristics." The authors demonstrate how family needs and

"A positive
association between rates of in-migration and out-migration across
locations has long been observed. This apparent paradox has usually
been attributed to the impact of in-migration on population
composition. We argue here that the intrinsic structure of population
dynamics may also induce this effect, and we develop a formal model of
this process. Empirical analyses using migration data for states in
the U.S. over 1955-60, 1965-70 and 1975-80 show that the intrinsic
mechanism may swamp the compositional
effect."

Methods of measuring migration are reviewed and assessed using
data from a repeat survey involving three rounds conducted at six-month
intervals in Mali in 1982 and 1983. The survey included some 2,000
individuals in Bamako and the rural village of Benakoro located 20
kilometers from the capital. The authors outline three factors that
should be taken into account when deciding on methods to obtain
migration data: the simplicity of the question, the accuracy of the
responses, and the complexity of the method of data analysis selected.
The need to question the accuracy of migration data obtained regardless
of method is also stressed.

for the U.S. limit their usefulness for studying international
migration and estimating national population change. For example, no
information is collected on emigration of legal permanent residents or
U.S. citizens, nor is there any direct information on the immigration
of U.S. citizens. Data collected on legal immigrants are based on a
legal and administrative definition that often conflicts with the
demographic definition of an immigrant."

"Development and migration are
related because the processes of capital substitution, enclosure, and
market penetration destroy the foundations of the peasant economy and
create a pool of displaced persons who seek better opportunities
elsewhere. Given the cyclical nature of economic growth, the
persistence of international wage differentials, and the decline of
transport costs, some movement abroad is inevitable. The extent of
emigration is determined by the degree of economic integration between
countries, but once begun, international migration tends to feed on
itself and grow rapidly. Historically, among European countries in the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, emigration was extensive and
reliably linked to the onset of industrialization. As a contemporary
example, Mexico conforms closely to expected patterns and its level of
emigration is not exceptional by historical
standards."

consequences of labour migration to Kuwait, within the framework of the

on published and unpublished statistics to examine the significance of
migration hypotheses, and to test the human capital model in the

between immigrants and refugees is noted. The author then shows how
third world immigrants are filling the gaps in the Italian labor force,
and concludes that Italy must accept the consequences of adapting to
the ethnic and cultural changes resulting from this immigration and
take steps to improve the imbalances in the current labor system to
reduce the demand for future immigration.

"This note extends the work of Rivera-Batiz to the case where
capital is collectively owned and the decision to emigrate entails both
a withdrawal of labor services from the source-country and the
surrender of the ownership of capital. In this framework, which seems
to have wide real-world relevance for socialist, labor-managed and
peasant economies, it is found that emigration helps increase the
welfare of the non-migrant. This result, which seems quite robust to
its specifications, is exactly the opposite of that of Rivera-Batiz and
points to the need for great caution in drawing policy conclusions with
regard to issues pertaining to emigration."

1-14 pp. Alexandria, Virginia. In Eng.
"This article provides
theoretical reasoning and empirical evidence that international
migration decisions are influenced by relative as well as absolute
income considerations. Potential gains in absolute income through
migration are likely to play an important role in households' migration
decisions, but international migration by household members who hold
promise for success as labor migrants can also be an effective strategy
to improve a household's income position relative to others in the
household's reference group. The findings reported in this article
provide empirical support for the hypothesis that relative deprivation
plays a significant role in Mexico-to-U.S. migration decisions. The
findings also suggest that this migration is an effective mechanism for
achieving income gains in households that send migrants to the U.S. and
that households wisely choose as migrants those of their members who
are most likely to provide net income
gains."

"This paper examines the
impact of legal and illegal Mexican immigration on the unemployment
experience and wages of native workers in metropolitan areas of the
Southwestern United States. The analysis is based on individual-level
data on wages, annual earnings, current employment status, and job
history for the year 1979 for males residing in 47 standard
metropolitan statistical areas (SMSAs) in five southwestern states, as
well as aggregate-level data on the numbers of legal and undocumented
Mexican immigrants in each SMSA." The data indicate that the labor
market effects of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986
may be the opposite of those intended. "Rather than improving the
earnings and employment prospects of natives, the increase in the
number of legal immigrants and any decrease in the number of
undocumented immigrants brought about by IRCA may reduce earnings and
increase unemployment among natives."

Germany from a group of twelve countries classified in this study as

workers' remittances on the consumption level of two labor sending
countries [Morocco and Turkey]....This study demonstrates that economic
factors are responsible for [the] flow of international labor migration
to West Germany....It has also been found that immigration policy as a
variable is more effective in reducing the inflow of labor migration to
West Germany from low income countries than it is from high income
countries..., that workers' remittances have a positive relationship
with the level of consumption and that in countries where the economies
are under-developed, remittances may have a long-term development
effect."

misconceptions concerning the demographic effects of immigration.
Australian Quarterly, Vol. 60, No. 2, Winter 1988. 220-30 pp. Sydney,
Australia. In Eng.
The author challenges the claims by a wide range
of Australian commentators, journalists, and politicians that
Australia's population will stop growing without migration and that
migrants make the population younger. The author uses mathematical
procedures to analyze age structure and population size and concludes
that "there is no demographic justification for a high level of
immigration. A continuing high level of immigration would increase the
population size beyond acceptable limits, and would make little
difference to the ageing of the population or the dependency ratio."
Australian population policy is discussed in terms of these
findings.

"The goal of this paper is to determine whether
the black suburban growth [in the United States] during the seventies
was primarily a process of dispersal or concentration. That is, did
blacks disperse into exclusively white suburbs or did they tend to
concentrate in suburbs which already contained significant black
populations?" Consideration is given to rising incomes of middle-class
blacks, changing attitudes toward residential integration among whites,
and historical racial segregation and discrimination in housing to
determine the demographic distributional aspects of recent black
suburbanization. Data are from the 1970 and 1980 U.S.

The
effect of increased education of blacks in the United States on their
internal migration patterns is explored. "In 1900 90 percent of
America's black population lived in the South and only 4.3 percent of
those born in the region were living elsewhere. By 1950 the proportion
of blacks living in the South had declined to 68 percent and 19.6
percent of those born in the region had left it. Using samples drawn
from the public use tapes of the 1900, 1940, and 1950 censuses [the
author shows] that better-educated blacks were far more likely to leave
the South than less-educated ones....[and that] black school enrollment
increased in states that had previously experienced high rates of black
out-migration." The impact of socioeconomic and labor market
opportunities is also considered.

The changing age composition of the population will imply further
mobility declines during coming decades if age-specific mobility rates
remain constant. A consideration of anticipated changes in the size of
the young adult cohort suggests that the national mobility rate may
increase slightly over the next decade, before beginning a relatively

modelling of return migration is based on an information model extended
to incorporate the human capital approach. It is shown that
differential rates of return to schooling and productivities across
countries and their changes over time can result in return migration.
The partial effects of various socio-economic variables on the rate of
return migration are analysed....We apply our methodology and empirical
models to the study of outmigration of foreign-born members in the U.S.

educational and occupational background and ages of first and last
migration. The study found that most returnees go home before
retirement rather than in old age, as had previously been suggested by
studies of intentions to return. There is also a growing trend towards
immigration to the cities as elderly parents, especially mothers, join
their migrant children. Accommodation can be a major problem of
dependent old age, and house ownership at home or in town is therefore
an important factor in the decision to remain a permanent migrant or to
return home."

rural-urban migration since 1949, accounting for about half the urban
population increase, is by no means small and is certainly more than
was previously realized. The tremendous variation in migration rates
reflects the heavy interventionist role of the government in this area.
The periods of high net migration generally coincide with the periods
of better economic performance. It is argued that the temporal
patterns of migration and urbanization have been shaped mainly by the
economic development strategy pursued by China. Finally, the current
trend of rural-urban migration is
examined."

"A major demographic
surprise emerged in the United States (and many other highly developed
countries) in the 1970s, when the nonmetropolitan population was
observed to be growing faster than the metropolitan population. To
analyze when and where the turnaround began and what has happened to
it, the article presents new data that extend comparisons back to 1900
and monitors change annually after 1970. The turnaround in growth
rates began earlier than previously thought and reversed around 1980,
with subsequent growth increasingly favoring the metropolitan sector.
It was found that metropolitanization has not necessarily implied
increasing concentration of population across all spatial
units."

Rural-urban migration to
Surabaya, Indonesia, is analyzed using data from a survey on migrant
population mobility conducted by the Ministry of Population and
Environmental Affairs. The focus is on "the patterns and behaviors of
the migrant workers in Surabaya and several of the problems created by
their migration." The authors conclude that because of the filtering
effect of smaller towns in the region and the tendency of migrant
workers to return to their places of origin, population growth in
Surabaya between 1971 and 1980 was slower than
expected.

The causes of migration from rural to urban areas in
the Soviet Union are explored using data from a survey conducted in the
city of Novgorod. Among the factors affecting migration are desire to
move to a place with many young people, lack of educational
opportunities in rural areas, and lack of cultural amenities in rural
areas.
