[Households and families of migrants of Caribbean origin].

"Households and family patterns of Caribbean migrants in France [are] compared to those of three different populations: first, to the non-migrants living in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane or Reunion; second, to the other migrants in France; third, to the French population of comparable socio-economic status (mainly employees and workers)....Several indicators, mainly drawn from the census of 1982 are used: mean numbers of persons and of children per household, proportions of male-headed households, typology of households and families, [and] relationship of each member of the household to the head." Cultural background and French citizenship are shown to be more closely associated with patterns of family size and characteristics than are socioeconomic factors. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

More on immigrants' earnings over time.

Immigrants' earnings have been found to be below those of natives in the earliest years after immigration, but with time in the US, earnings catch up with and then surpass those of natives. The authors obtain this result using an alternate data set, confirming the previous work of Barry Chiswick. The catch up period is between 20 and 30 years, later than Chiswick's result. After adding variables for foreign education and English ability, the catch up period is only 3 years after entry. In a context where other variables are not held constant, the authors consider effects of discrimination in admission by schooling and age. Both are found to be powerful selection factors in increasing the earnings levels of immigrants.

Sponsors, sponsorship rates and the immigration multiplier.

"This article reviews the evidence pertaining to the extent to which U.S. immigrants actually make use of the family reunification entitlements of United States immigration laws, examining the two available studies which are based on probability samples of immigrant entry cohorts. It then provides new estimates of the characteristics of the U.S. citizen sponsors of immigrant spouses and parents.... With respect to the characteristics of sponsors, analysis of the information in the GAO [General Accounting Office] report indicates that 80 percent of the persons who immigrated in FY 1985 as the spouses of U.S. citizens were sponsored by native born U.S. citizens. In contrast, native born U.S. citizens sponsored only five percent of the parent immigrants. Additional findings on the country of origin and sex of the sponsored immigrants are presented."

[Ukrainian immigration in Canada: some aspects of socio-demographic integration].

The author examines social and demographic characteristics of Ukrainians living in Canada, with a focus on acculturation levels and trends. "Among the indices which confirm the notion that members of the group have integrated themselves into the social-demographic structure of Canadian society, the author notices: dispersive settlement (in all the provinces and territories of the country), urbanisation which recently has surpassed the Canadian average; an increase in the number of persons born in Canada (87.5%); a growing similarity between the employment structure of the able-bodied population and the employment structure typical for Canada as a whole; growth of the incomes of Ukrainian families;...[and] increases in the level of education...."

Lifetime migration to the major cities of the United States, Asia, and Africa.

"The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the lifetime migration patterns into the major cities of selected developed and developing countries. This study was confined to cities in...the United States and certain Asian and African countries with relevant published data.... This paper has shown that some lifetime population movements were exceptionally high. Two-thirds of the residents of the major U.S. cities in 1970 were born elsewhere. The major cities in sub-Saharan Africa were second highest with 60 percent. Asian cities followed with 48 percent of their residents being lifetime migrants and the cities of North Africa were lowest with less than a third. Finally, the native population born and reared in most urban agglomerations will probably comprise a larger percentage of the total population in those areas in the future." (SUMMARY IN FRE AND ITA)

The making of an immigrant niche.

"This article speaks to the conceptual and methodological issues in research on the making of an immigrant niche through a case study of immigrant professionals in New York City government." The author argues that "the growth of this immigrant niche resulted from changes in the relative supply of native workers and in the structure of employment, which opened the bureaucracy to immigrants and reduced native/immigrant competition. These shifts opened hiring portals; given the advantages of network hiring for workers and managers, and an immigrant propensity for government employment, network recruitment led to a rapid buildup in immigrant ranks."
