International labour migration in Nigeria 1976-1986: employment, nationality and ethnicity.

International migration trends associated with the oil boom and bust that occurred in Nigeria between 1976 and 1986 are analyzed. "Large numbers came from Ghana..., [and] Niger, Chad and Togo, whose countries were suffering from a mixture of drought, political instability and stagnant economies. The resultant labour market became segmented according to job skills, nationality and ethnicity...." The decline in the oil industry led to the expulsion of some two million aliens between 1983 and 1986, causing considerable friction between Nigeria and its neighbors. The author concludes that "the rise and fall of migrant labour in Nigeria and the political situation within the country were embedded in the changing regional political economy of West Africa and its linkages to the larger world capitalist economy."

Italy in the context of European migration.

"This article is divided into three sections. The first section analyses the transformation of Italy and other Southern European countries from nations of emigrants to nations of immigrants. In the second section, the volume and characteristics of immigration to Southern Europe are analysed in an attempt to point out, given the context of national characteristics, the similarities in the phenomenon of non-European migration. In the third section, an attempt is made to analyse the role played in the labour market by migrants from developing countries and to present evidence of the expansion of the underground Italian economy." Comments by R. Magni are included (pp. 113-4).

[Migration and oil in Tabasco].

"At the beginning of the seventies, important economic investments aimed at developing and commercializing the newly discovered oilwells were made in the state of Tabasco [Mexico]. As a result of this, the distribution and the social growth of the population in this state changed. This paper analyses the general characteristics of these changes, particularly those related to migration.... Generally speaking, the most important migratory movements which took place in this state during the oil boom were from one municipality to another and not from other states to Tabasco, as was thought at first.... This paper also describes the direction of the migratory flows and provides information about the sex of the migrants and about their insertion within the sphere of employment." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

On the Malthusian theory of long swings.

"In the Essay on Population economic growth consists of alternating surges of population (during which real wages fall and the rate of profit rises) and capital (during which the reverse occurs). A series of temporary equilibria exists at which wages are maximal, the rate of profit minimal, and fully employed work-force in technically determined relation to fixed capital stock. Between these equilibria occur episodes of excess labour, below-maximum wages, above minimum profit-rate and capital accumulation. Malthus's 'ratios' presuppose a logarithmic production function that implies first, that the full-employment real wage will fall to subsistence; secondly, that the full-employment 'wages fund' is constant."

Migration trends and regional labour market change in Poland.

The author examines internal migration and its relation to economic conditions in Poland during the period since World War II. The "basic facets of internal migration in Poland, as they prevailed over the last decades, will be summarized in Section 2 and [compared] with the most recent mobility trends. Section 3 will focus on migration flows within and among 49 regions over the 1975-1983 period while taking account of changing industrial employment levels in individual regions. Alternative interpretations of observed migration patterns will be sought in Section 4. Preliminary conclusions and some further questions will be listed in Section 5."

[Main characteristics of intergenerational social mobility].

"Data [from a Hungarian] mobility survey show that the main driving force behind social changes is the alteration of the economic structure, which presented itself with increased numbers of the self-employed on one hand, and with increased numbers of employees in the private sector on the other. Relying on her analysis the author thinks that only a part of social changes can be described...using the categories built on traditional labour-like groups." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
