Patterns, trends and future of international migration: some causes and consequences.

"This study examines the main trends of various models of international migration for the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and places emphasis on the volume and direction of various models of migration at present. Permanent migration, illegal migration in search of work and compulsory migration (refugees) are discussed in some detail with reference to the occasional difficulty of distinguishing between the various types of migration. When discussing the volume and sources of migration, the study indicates some of its motives and implications at origin and at destination and presents some of the future prospects and major factors that contribute to the continuation of the flow of the different types of migration." The geographical scope is worldwide.

European East-West migration, 1945-1992.

"This article's thesis is that Europe is undergoing an international but intracontinental migration such as it has not seen since the beginning of the Cold War. The authors cite several reasons for the recent outburst of migration: ethnic relocation, the search for refuge and asylum, and the need for work. They also present a country-by-country description of sending and receiving nations. The push and pull factors causing such massive migration cannot only be contained by the present methods of having each government erect legislative and other barriers--such as armed border guards--against newcomers."

Migration and the quasi-labor market in Russia.

"This paper explores the twin concepts of labor demand and labor mobility during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods. The study uses a detailed data set on labor stock, industrial labor demand, and labor flows for the 1980s in the Yaroslavl' Oblast, and data on migration and regional labor markets for all Russian regions in the 1990s. Contextual features, such as the social contract, full employment, methods of labor allocation, and a generally low rate of geographic mobility, distinguish the centrally planned quasi-labor market from the labor market in capitalist democracies. The findings suggest that net in-migration induces employment change in the current period rather than in a future period. The job creation effects appear concurrent with migration during the Soviet period. In the post-Soviet period, migration and employment relationships are not predictable based on the same relationships during the Soviet period."

The uncertain connection: free trade and rural Mexican migration to the United States.

"Will a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) decrease Mexican migration to the United States, as the U.S. and Mexican governments assert, or increase migration beyond the movement that would otherwise occur, as NAFTA critics allege? This article argues that it is easy to overestimate the additional emigration from rural Mexico owing to NAFTA-related economic restructuring in Mexico. The available evidence suggests four major reasons why Mexican emigration may not increase massively, despite extensive restructuring and displacement from traditional agriculture....NAFTA-related economic displacement in Mexico may yield an initial wave of migration to test the U.S. labor market, but this migration should soon diminish if the jobs that these migrants seek shift to Mexico."

[Migration and the business cycle in the Federal Republic of Germany since the 1960s].

The relationship between migration and economic development in the Federal Republic of Germany is explored. Questions considered include: "How does the economic development change the intensity of migration flows in short and long distance migrations? What kinds of migrations are especially sensitive to economic changes? How do these changes come about?" Migration patterns between West Germany and other European countries are analyzed in comparison with a time series of economic parameters, such as the labor market. Migrations between three West German cities and their surrounding regions are also analyzed in comparison with a different series of parameters, including new housing construction. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Linked migration systems: immigration and internal labor flows in the United States.

The relationship between immigration to and labor movements within the United States is examined using a model that links migration, occupations, production and institutional relations in the economy, and economic restructuring. The authors conclude that "native blue-collar workers have been spatially displaced by recent immigration and that the process of capital accumulation, as manifested in economic restructuring, is the driving force behind the mobility system, affecting both immigration patterns and the destination choices of white-collar workers. As a result, we suggest that previous estimates of immigrant impacts on local labor markets may be underestimated."

Female immigrants and labor in colonial Malaya: 1860-1947.

"The role of Chinese and Indian women as immigrants and workers in colonial Malaya is examined using data from censuses, immigration records, official reports and secondary sources. The article discusses the main types of work of female immigrants and their contribution to the economic development of colonial Malaya during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in an attempt to redress the neglect of female immigrants' economic role in Malaya's history. Comparisons between male and female immigrants' labor and between Chinese and Indian immigrants, are drawn to highlight the different conditions of migration and labor for the different groups of immigrants."
