Interurban flows of population and occupational skills to three cities in Nigeria.

"This article examines interurban flows of population and occupational skills to three cities in Nigeria. The analyses are based on sample survey data collected in the cities of Benin, Ibadan, and Kano in 1973 and 1974." The results indicate that most migrants were repeat movers, and that interurban migration predominated. However, whereas men brought a wide range of occupational skills, most women came with traditional-type skills or as housewives.

[Population migration from village to city and opportunities for employment: a survey of three cities in North Sumatra].

"This study is concerned with patterns of mobility and employment in North Sumatra Province [Indonesia]. Various forms of population mobility are investigated with a view toward assessing their causes and consequences. In this article, however, we are mainly concerned with rural-urban migration. The analysis is based upon a probability sample of 1,100 households selected from Medan, Pematang Siantar and Tebing Tinggi." The results indicate that "migration patterns appear quite similar for all three cities. Migrants are reasonably well educated and tended to be young, unmarried and motivated by economic reason. Most migrants come from greater distances, are frequently from urban origin and exhibit diversity of ethnic backgrounds. Those who come to Medan are more certain of a job, because urban informal employment is very significant there. In general, most migrants appear to experience significant gains in their social and economic status subsequent to moving." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Migration, urban growth, and development: Pakistan's experience.

The authors "focus primarily on voluntary, peacetime migration [in Pakistan], both internal and international, and attempt to analyze some of its possible socioeconomic consequences." The importance of the role of migration in urban population growth is discussed, with attention to implications for social and economic development. The impact of large-scale emigration of workers to the Middle East is also assessed. The analysis is based on data from the 1951, 1961, 1972, and 1981 censuses as well as from secondary sources.

Growth of India's scheduled caste population, 1971-81: a spatial analysis.

The author analyzes the spatial distribution and the rapid growth rate of India's scheduled caste population since 1971 and finds that "there are wide regional disparities in their rates of population growth. Areas with relatively high growth rates are associated with (i) accelerated process of urbanisation and industrialisation, (ii) expansion in mining activity, and (iii) intensification and commercialisation of agricultural development based on irrigation. By contrast, areas experiencing low rates of growth are associated with (i) continuing high mortality rate, and (ii) net out-migration arising from scarcity of resources, acute poverty and subjection to deprivations...."
