Harvest of confusion: immigration reform and California agriculture.

"Agriculture was a major stumbling block to immigration reform [in the United States], largely because Congress was unwilling to assign explicit priorities to the competing goals of protecting American workers and admitting supplemental immigrant farmworkers. This article describes the Special Agricultural Worker or SAW legalization program that generated 700,000 applications in California and the hypothetical calculations required to determine whether Replenishment Agricultural Workers or RAWs will be admitted to the United States to do farmwork. The paper concludes that immigration reform did not resolve the century-old debate over agriculture's 'need' for alien workers; instead, SAWs and RAWs have contributed to the harvest of confusion on farm labor."

The relative economic progress of male foreign workers in Kuwait.

"A human capital framework is utilized to examine the economic progress of nine nationality groups of foreign workers [in Kuwait] using data from the 1983 national Labor Survey. The sources of earnings' variations of particular interest to us included different degrees of education and experience transferability, occupational affiliation and ethnic background. In general, the results derived from the analysis suggest that 1) foreign workers achieve a discernible economic progress as their residence lengthens; 2) the rate of economic progress varies depending on worker's education, home and Kuwait-specific experience, occupational status and ethnic background; and 3) about one third of the earnings inequality is due to unexplained factors including discrimination."

[Spatial and socio-demographic characteristics of commuters in Olsztyn Voivodship].

The authors discuss changes in commuting patterns and characteristics of commuters in Olsztyn Voivodship, Poland. It is found that "commuters to towns are considerably younger than [those] commuting in the opposite direction [and] a decisive majority of commuters are employed as manual workers (85%). Education level of female commuters in both directions was relatively higher than that of males, [with a] higher per cent of females [working] as white-collar workers." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)

[Tuscan emigration from 1860 to 1914: rhythms and flows].

"The article describes the phenomenon of permanent outmigration from the Apennine regions [of Italy] (particularly from the provinces of Massa Carrara and Lucca) and analyses its causes and transformation from a localized exchange of labor (seasonal farmworkers, and peddlers) to the massive movement towards the end of the last century. At the same time, similar patterns were also occurring in the region's lowlands. The study attempts to distinguish the demographic, sociological and professional characteristics of these population movements and presents their preferred destinations between the middle of the 19th century and the first World War."

Continuity and change in Canada's unemployment-immigration linkage (1946-1993).

"Between 1946 and 1976, variation in unemployment rates strongly affected the number of immigrants allowed into Canada. Implementation of the Immigration Act of 1976 should have weakened the effect of unemployment on immigration, for the Act requires that immigration levels be set after consideration of demographic as well as labour market conditions. Our analysis shows the unemployment-immigration linkage actually strengthened after 1978, and only weakened significantly after 1989. Since the government's annual immigration projections are excellent predictors of immigration landings, we conclude the Canadian state is highly capable of controlling immigration levels and thus the tightening of the unemployment-immigration linkage from 1978 to 1989 reflected the choice of regulators. Discussing future research in this area, we argue that if the immigration policymaking process was not restructured in the late 1980s, an adequate model of state-society relations in this area must account for both continuity and change. However, if the process was restructured, a revised or new theoretical framework is needed." (SUMMARY IN FRE)

Job displacement effects of Canadian immigrants by country of origin and occupation.

"Some previous Canadian studies have shown that considering the labor market as a whole and also pooling all immigrants as a group, immigrants do not have any job displacement effects on the Canadian born. This study presents some new evidence. It disaggregates immigrants by country of origin and by occupation groups and provides an analysis of job displacement effects of immigrants on the native-born Canadians by these dimensions. The study finds that (1) U.S. immigrants and the Canadians are substitutes [for] competing groups in the labor market and the effect is quite significant; (2) Canadians and Europeans are competing groups in certain occupations, while they have complementary skills in others; and (3) immigrants from the Third World and the Canadians are slightly competing groups in certain occupations."
