"This paper examines developments
in population movement [in Fiji] between 1970 and 1986 with particular
reference to an acceleration in levels of migration overseas by Indians
and an exodus of Fijians from rural village communities for towns on
Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Trends in internal and international
migration are evaluated at a range of spatial scales--national,
regional and local. Some speculation on the effect of political and
economic changes since May 1987 on these population movements attempts
to provide a contemporary perspective on demographic developments over
the last 15 years." Data are from the 1986 Fijian
census.

The author studies the effects of
individual poverty and poverty levels of residential areas on the
propensities of U.S. youth to migrate. "The major findings are: (1)
youth living in areas with [fewer] employment opportunities are more
migratory; (2) poor youth are less migratory than the nonpoor; and (3)
the poor living in areas with [fewer] employment opportunities are
least migratory." Data are from the 1983 National Longitudinal Survey
of Youth Cohort.

"This study examines the differences between lone and family
migration at various stages of the migration process. It assumes that
the objective in migration is to maximize the net gains to the family,
regardless of whether the migration is undertaken by an individual
member or by the family. By developing a conceptual model of family
migration, the conditions under which a potential migrant would move
alone, as opposed to taking the family along, are examined.
Introducing the concept of the cost of separation, we show that lone
migration is undertaken only when its net gains are greater than the
separation cost of the family....The two post migration behaviors
examined are remittance and repeat migration." The data are from
Korea.

men in the United States is studied. The author examines whether the
event of retirement increases migration and what factors predict
retirees' decision to move and choice of destination. Findings
indicate that retirees are three times more likely to migrate than are
those who are working and that socioeconomic status and health
condition are the most significant determinants.

"This paper examines the
role of absolute income versus relative deprivation incentives for
internal and international migration in [developing-country]
households. Our empirical results, based on Mexican village data,
support the relative deprivation hypothesis of migration when migration
is likely to be an effective vehicle for reducing households' relative
deprivation within the relevant reference group. They suggest that,
independent of relative deprivation, households wisely pair their
members with the labor markets in which the returns to their human
capital are likely to be greatest. They also suggest that a specific
type of migration constitutes a response to a specific configuration of
variables, and the role of relative deprivation appears to differ
between international migration and migration within a country. A
relative deprivation approach to migration is shown to have important
implications for development policy."

analytically expressed by the 'mediating factor'. The model is
macrodynamic in nature and provides both for the main secular component
of the migratory flow and for transient components caused by
extraordinary events. The model is expressed in a Bernoulli-type
differential equation through which quantitative weights can be derived
for each of the operating causes. Out-migration from the Republic of

Consideration is given to three types of migrants: permanent movers,
temporary residents, and travelers, which are then divided into
categories concerning arrivals to or departures from a given country.
International migration data are from U.N. official sources for the
years 1975, 1985, and 1987. "The AIDS data are based on the number of
cases reported to the WHO Global Program on AIDS as of 31 January
1988." Findings indicate that "countries with a high rate of AIDS
cases are more likely to be origins for international population
movements than are low prevalence countries. Whether the population of
movers contains a high or low proportion of HIV infected persons is an
open question that cannot be answered on the basis of available
data."

Permanent Indian migrants to England are

their community of origin encouraged international
migration.

"A multiregional model of gross internal migration flows is
presented in this article. The interdependence of economic factors
across all regions is recognized by imposing a non-stochastic adding-up
constraint that requires total inmigration to equal total outmigration
in each time period. An iterated system estimation technique is used
to obtain asymptotically consistent and efficient parameter estimates.
The model is estimated for gross migration flows among the Canadian
provinces over the period 1962-86 and then is used to examine the
likelihood of a wash-out effect in net migration models. The results
indicate that previous approaches that use net migration equations may
not always be empirically justified."

the Canadian population will continue to age rapidly over the next
three decades and that the elderly's demand for services (for example,
health care and income maintenance) will expand rapidly as a
consequence. Some of these services are clearly location-specific and
should be matched to the changing distribution of the elderly
population, which is, of course, affected by geographic

Data from the Italian census of 1981 and from vital
statistics for the period 1977-1981 are analyzed using Courgeau's model
and two migratory indexes, one of migratory stability and one of
migratory circularity. Results show that different types of migratory
behavior predominate in the major geographic regions of Italy.
Individuals in the north-central region show a tendency either to not
migrate or, if they do migrate, not to return, while those in the south
are more inclined to leave and subsequently
return.

The authors examine the relationship between migration and
wife's employment in Canadian families. "The results presented here
suggest that the labour market experience of migrant wives, at least in
the short term, is difficult. Despite having an employment rate of
42.1 percent in the month before they moved, the employment rate fell
to 25.1 percent in the month after migration. There is also an
indication that wives in families with young children have the least
chance of being employed after migration. After some time at their
destination, migrant wives do enjoy an improvement in their employment
rate." Wife's educational level was found to be an important
determinant of post-migration employment status. Data are from the
1981 Canadian census and Statistics Canada's Current Population Profile
for 1976-1982.

"Migration
flows between states in the [United States] over three decades are
analysed using a general spatial interaction model. The role of
geographic distance and a more general distance conception are
examined, as is the stability of the spatial structure over time.
Results imply that although migration structures reflect geographic
distance, other stable factors, reflecting idiosyncratic ties between
locations, are important as well. This suggests that the common
practice in migration research of ignoring spatial structure to focus
on individual locations is misleading. The particular ties between
locations cannot be ignored in examining total migration at a location
at one point in time. In examining changes over time, however, we can

Peter R. Measuring the impact of locational
characteristics on migration: interpreting cross-sectional
analyses. Demography, Vol. 26, No. 3, Aug 1989. 499-513 pp.
Alexandria, Virginia. In Eng.
The author discusses methods of
measuring the impact of locational characteristics on U.S. migrants'
choices of destination. "Methods that employ cross-sectional data to
analyze the impact of locational characteristics on migration decisions
may produce seriously biased results because migrant decisions at any
one point in time reflect historical as well as contemporaneous forces.
A comparison of results based on a typical cross-sectional analysis
and those obtained with longitudinal data shows that these issues are
of empirical importance. An alternative interpretation of the results
of cross-sectional migration analyses is
provided."

"In this paper, we investigate net migration by age
for U.S. counties for each decade over the period 1950-80. Our
approach focuses on the diversity of county experience in light of
increased migration to nonmetropolitan areas in the 1970s and the
accelerated movement from the older northern industrial states to the
South and West. Our analysis will examine patterns separately for
metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties, as well as differences
across regions. We wish to shed light on the processes associated with
the new migration trends and, in particular, on the extent to which the
patterns reflect an increased specialization by counties in amenities
and services associated with different periods of an individual's life
cycle."

Frontier migration in Nepal is analyzed, with a focus on its
impact on hill migrants in the Tarai region. This type of migration is
defined as the move to outlying areas in search of land. Data are from
a field survey and participant observations conducted in 1979-1980.
The results indicate "that the ability of frontier migration and
settlement to serve as a channel of upward mobility is selective and
largely determined by migrants' previous socioeconomic
positions."

"Migration is much more than a simple transfer of individuals
from one region to another....It also implies a transfer of 'years to
be lived' and 'children to be born'. Rogers' multidimensional
demographic model allows one to measure such an induced impact. The
results obtained show that, in the case of interprovincial migration in
Canada, this induced impact is far from being proportional to the
direct impact in terms of individuals
transferred."

pp. Silver Spring, Maryland. In Eng.
"A study of migration
processes in the Moscow Capital Region over the period 1970-1985 begins
by assessing their contribution to overall population growth within the
region vis-a-vis natural increase and territorial and administrative
changes. Attention then is turned toward movements both within the
Moscow Capital Region and between it and other oblasts of the European
RSFSR. Although the overall volume of migration within the Moscow
capital Region and between it and remaining oblasts of the European
RSFSR declined, the relative popularity of the former as a destination
among migrants in European Russia remained unchanged."

"This paper assesses the
employment effects of migration [in the United States] among ethnic
groups, using data from two time periods--one during which labor
markets were relatively tight (1965-70) and another when labor markets
were relatively slack (1975-80). Specifically, we address the
questions of whether migration increases the likelihood of employment
among the nonemployed, and whether the likelihood of employment
following migration is similar for blacks, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and
non-Hispanic whites. The [findings] indicate that among the
native-born population, and excepting non-Hispanic white chronic movers
in 1970, migration did not increase the likelihood of becoming
employed, even for the college educated. On the other hand, the
foreign-born and the foreign-born who migrated between 1975 and 1980
increased their likelihood of being employed by at least 10
percent."

The author analyzes the situation of internal migrants
in the labor market in Tijuana, Mexico, using data for 672 families
surveyed in 1982. Migrants' experiences are compared with those of the
native population and are analyzed in terms of region of origin and
previous labor experience. The impact of the relative development of
migrants' place of origin is also considered. It is found that in
general, migration in the region tends to resemble that occuring in
industrialized countries more than that taking place in developing
countries.

The author
examines the economy of a rural village in Indonesia in which a high
proportion of households rely on remittances from urban informal sector
earnings. Household income and per capita income are analyzed
according to whether or not households have at least one temporary
migrant, and by the sex and age of the household head. Findings
indicate that "remittances from short-term circular migration push many
households into the middle and upper income ranges. However, the
wealthiest households continue to rely on traditional high earning
activities and do not depend on remittances. The poorest households
are scattered among those who rely on remittances and those still
totally dependent upon traditional low earning village activities,
regardless of the sex and age of the household
head."

"This paper provides an
appraisal of studies on internal migration with implications for rural
development in West Africa. There exists a general idea that rural
development should have inhibiting effects on internal migration. But
migration decisions tend to react positively, and not negatively, to
development processes. It is, therefore, suggested here that the
migration/rural development hypothesis is likely to hold in the short
term, but will fail to stand the test of time over long periods." The
author suggests that countries focus on achieving national development
as a whole, rather than concentrating on rural
development.

regional subsystems operating within each of the five major geographic
divisions of the nation: the Atlantic Region, Quebec, Ontario, the

concept of migration, this paper maintains that the patterns of
outmigration vary a great deal when the level of development of a rural
area is treated as an independent variable. The study shows that in
the development transition of rural areas from low to high level, the
overall outmigration increases; while commuting increases positively,
migration involving permanent change in residence first increases and
then slackens at [a] higher level of development." Data are from three
villages in rural India, each at a different level of
development.
