[The migration of Mexicans to the United States: changes in the decade 1980-1990].

"The study indicates certain differences in the amount and characteristics of Mexican migration to the United States in the period from 1964-1980 and from 1980-1990. Entry procedures to the United States, migrants' places of origin and destiny, their occupation in both Mexico and the United States, and the length of their stay there are analyzed. Migrants' age and relocation costs are also studied, although emphasis is placed on the need to systematize data from a conceptual and methodological point of view." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Migratory movements in Central and Eastern Europe from the early 1950s till the late 1980s].

"The major aim of the present paper is to disclose the magnitude of immigration from Central-Eastern Europe, to selected European and overseas countries of immigration and the changes those flows underwent over the period 1950-1989. The analysis focuses on the late 1980s.... It follows from the analysis that there were no regular and uniform trends, and the intensity of immigration depended on [the] political cycle in particular countries of Central-Eastern Europe...."

Is international economic migration spreading?

"Are the numbers of migrants growing? Proof is hard to come by--many countries' statistics do not provide reliable data for legal migration; most countries do not have good estimates for illegal migration; quite a few have no useable data at all, especially migrant-sending countries. We make use of an alternative yardstick, which over a period of time compares the number of countries that receive foreigners who are economically active or that are these persons' countries of origin.... Our yardstick includes only countries of a minimum population size fixed in terms of a comparable population base in the years 1970 and 1990."

Rural-urban migration patterns shift.

The authors analyze changes in rural-urban migration patterns in the United States. "Current Population Survey (CPS) migration data from 1990-94 indicate a dispersal of population out of urban areas into small towns and open country areas. The net rural gain has been small according to these data (0.1 percent), but it contrasts sharply with rural outflow of the late 1980s. Even more significantly, the rural ¿brain drain' of the 1980s has not carried over into the 1990s."

A systematic demographic efficiency analysis of U.S. interstate population exchange, 1935-1980.

"Evolving patterns of population redistribution within the United States are examined for the period 1935 to 1980. The demographic efficiency measure is employed to assess the compensating or non-compensating nature of migration to and from each state. This measure is then extended in order to examine the entire system of state-to-state movement streams. Using the analytical technique of Q-analysis, systemic change is shown to have taken place. It is argued that the geographic pattern change reflects a nexus of economic and societal trends associated with post-industrialism."

Shifts in Grenadian migration: an historical perspective.

Migration from Grenada has been varied and large over the past century, reaching levels which even resulted in negative population growth. This article focuses on changes in Grenadian migration over the past 80 years, with emphasis on the Grenada Revolution, 1979-1983. After the 1979 revolution there were some changes in the attitudes of Grenadians to migration, although many of the expected socioeconomic and demographic features of migration were still present. Migration may be seen as a means of circumventing low wages and limited opportunities, as a culturally specific pattern of behavior, or as a combination of economic, political and cultural factors. After reviewing the pattern of Grenadian migration over the past 80 years, some of the causes of and attitudes to migration are examined, and the meaning of migration for Grenadians is discussed.

Polish migration policies: challenges and dilemmas.

Following a brief historical overview of Polish migration policies and trends, current post-Communism migration is examined. The focus is on "two...types of Polish emigration.... The first, continuing over the last two decades, is temporary labor emigration, when emigres spend two to three years (especially overseas) or a few months (in Western Europe) working outside of Poland. The second model of movement of Poles abroad is short-term private business excursions to different regions of Europe and Asia." The author examines "which migration policies will be beneficial to Poland's political and economic systems, as the country enters a new phase of development."

Migration policies and return migration with particular reference to Yugoslavia.

"The essay analyses some of the most recent migratory trends in Europe in the light of labour turnover, integration and assimilation. The author states that [since] World War II the expansion of the European and international capitalistic system has encouraged or discouraged, according to the various circumstances, the transferral of workers to different countries. "Particular attention has been given to the case of Yugoslavia. The changing of its migration policies has often coincided with the different modalities of flows." (summary in FRE)

[The emigration of English-speaking Quebecers].

It is generally stated that Bill 101 (The French Language Charter) passed in 1977 provoked an exodus of the English speaking population in Quebec. A review of past data from the Canadian Censuses shows that the propensity to leave Quebec has always been greater for the Anglophones than for the Francophones. Family allowance records have enabled Canada to retrace the outgoing population since 1974. Although it is true that between 1977-79 both the proportion and the number of English speaking migrants were greater than before, the levels then dropped and for the next 4 years became camparable to the ones observed in the past, although Bill 101 is still in force.
