City employment change in the Republic of Korea, 1960-1970.

Changes in the employment characteristics of Korean cities during the 1960s, a period of polarized development and rapid industrialization, are examined. The expectation of modernization and world-system/dependency theorists that the national metropolis, Seoul, increased its dominance in many key sectors is supported. Other cities, however, also grew rapidly, specialized in different economic sectors, and changed their economic structures. Polarized development, therefore, need not imply atrophy of noncore cities. Both modernization and world-system/dependency theorists need to apply more complex conceptualizations of systems of cities in developing nations.

Population redistribution towards core areas of less developed countries, 1950-1980.

"This paper presents estimates of the rate of population redistribution to the core areas of 44 developing countries over the period 1950-80. Particular attention is given to the period 1970-80, a time during which the core areas of developed countries experienced substantial declines in their rates of net inmigration. The principal finding is that the core areas of most developing countries are still experiencing high and, in a number of cases, increasing rates of net inmigration." The author contends that "this finding confirms the developmental model of spatial concentration and dispersal and should lay to rest other explanations of deconcentration, including arguments that focus on diseconomies of absolute size in the core area or on fluctuations in the aggregate economy." The difference between the population growth rates of entire nations and of core areas is used as a measure of interregional migration. Data for the 44 countries and information on the data sources are included in appendixes.

Residential movement among the poor: the constraints on housing choice in Latin American cities.

"The paper examines the validity of current theories of intra-city migration, subjecting those theories to the test of explaining new data collected in a total of 13 low-income settlements in three Latin American cities: Bogota, Mexico City, and Valencia, Venezuela. The study focuses attention upon the principal reception points for migrants; the location of previous place of residence for contemporary barrio dwellers; [and] the tenure and dwelling characteristics of previous places of residence. The authors conclude that residential patterns in Latin American cities are less the outcome of migrant choice, as some theories argue, and more the product of constraints imposed upon the land and housing markets."

[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...."
