[Who is a migrant? Problems of documenting and defining spatial mobility in developing countries].

"Increasingly uneven spatial population distribution, especially in developing countries, has brought about a growing need for better statistical information on the extent of the various forms of spatial mobility during the [1980s] and their determinants and consequences....The main issues discussed in this paper are...the problems of defining and measuring spatial mobility in general as well as [reviewing] the types of mobility-related questions in censuses, their strengths and weaknesses, and the possibilities of evaluation of the collected data. Finally, alternative concepts for measuring spatial mobility are discussed which could help to gather information on non-permanent forms of spatial mobility, an issue of growing importance for the developing world."

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome after travelling in Africa: an epidemiological study in seventeen Caucasian patients.

Seventeen Caucasian patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) contracted after long stays in Africa are reported. Central Africa was concerned in all cases. Men are particularly exposed to AIDS whatever their occupation. This study suggests that the risk of contracting AIDS in Africa is high; the transmission of the virus was related to sexual contact, particularly with prostitutes, in Africa in most of the cases. It suggests also that Caucasians who travel in Africa spread the virus throughout the world by means of their heterosexual relations.

Moving back vs. moving on: the concept of home in the decision to remigrate.

"This study examines the effect of information and psychic costs on the remigration propensity of the U.S. labor force. Specifically, the study investigates how the proximity of a potential migration destination to a previous residence, and familiarity with this residence, affect information and psychic costs, and thus, remigration propensity. In this respect it is hypothesized that familiarity with, and location of, a prior residence are significant determinants of both the migration destination and the allocative efficiency of the remigration process." Several specific hypotheses are developed and tested using data on interstate, nonreturn, repeat migration of the white male labor force over the period 1965-1970.

A history of population movement between New Zealand and Australia.

"Migration between New Zealand and Australia has assumed considerable significance for both countries during the past 25 years. Commencing in the late 1960s, three major waves of net immigration from New Zealand have seen Australia's New Zealand-born population increase from 52,000 at the 1966 Census to 212,000 at the 1986 Census.... This paper aims to set these contemporary trends in historical context. So strong has been the tide flowing towards Australia that it is easy to imagine, erroneously, that it always flowed that way." Movements since the early 1800s are examined. Aspects considered include major periods of net migration, gender balance, short-term and permanent movement, and size and composition of immigrant groups. The impact of changes in migration policies over time is analyzed. The author's name is incorrectly listed as George A. Carmichael on this article. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA)

The status of circular migration in the evolution of Melanesian towns: an attempt at explanation.

"This article proposes a model of Melanesian urbanization and associated forms of migration, both permanent and temporary/circular. The model describes four stages of urban development, spanning the arrival of capitalism to a futuristic city of the next century. The author links the future of circular migration in Melanesia to the relative strengths of the precapitalist and capitalist modes of production and associated social relations, particularly the wantok [kinship network]."

Labor force mobility in the United States: migration, unemployment, and remigration.

"This study examines the relationships between pre- and post-move unemployment and interstate migration of the United States labor force for the period 1965 to 1970. Multivariate analyses are conducted for several large occupation groups. The results indicate a strong link between unemployment and migration. Unemployment increases migration possibilities for each large occupation group considered. Substantial post-move unemployment exists, but there is a significant link between migration and such unemployment only for blue-collar workers who are repeat migrants."

Migrant information and the remigration decision: further evidence.

This study concerns the relationship between the decision to migrate again and the success or failure of a previous move. The data concern approximately 5,000 individuals who made their initial move in 1968-1969 from one of the 44 regions of Canada to another. Consideration is also given to the role that distance of the prior move plays in influencing the remigration decision. The authors conclude that "a disappointing income experience during a previous move can be an important determinant in causing individuals to move again immediately after an initial move."
