A comparison of the Korean minorities in China and Japan.

"This article compares the Korean minorities in China and Japan in their differential levels of cultural autonomy and ethnic identity....In explaining the differential levels of ethnicity between the two Korean minority groups, this paper focuses on the basic differences in minority policy between the two countries; the difference in the context of migration; the existence or absence of a territorial base; and the differential levels of influence from Korea."

The migration of doctors and nurses from South Pacific Island Nations.

Little is known of the structure of the international migration of skilled health professionals. Accelerated migration of doctors and nurses from the Pacific island states of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga to the Pacific periphery is part of the globalization of health care. The findings from a recent survey of 251 doctors and nurses from the three island countries are reported here. Key determinants of both present migration status and future migration intentions were analyzed using econometric methods. Nurses' and doctors' propensities to migrate are influenced by both income and non-income factors, including ownership of businesses and houses. Migrants also tend to have more close relatives overseas, to have trained there, and so experienced superior working conditions. Migration propensities vary between countries, and between nurses and doctors within countries. Tongan nurses have a higher propensity to migrate, mainly because of greater relative earnings differentials, but are also more likely to return home. The role of kinship ties, relative income differentials and working conditions is evident in other developing country contexts. Remittances and return migration, alongside business investment, bring some benefits to compensate for the skill drain. National development policies should focus on encouraging return migration, alongside retention and recruitment, but are unlikely to prevent out migration.

[Migration in the countries of the European Economic Area].

"During the last decade the number of migrants entering the European Economic Area has increased considerably. The governments in many countries have responded to this increase by implementing restrictive immigration policies. Most countries forecast a decline in net migration." Information is provided on push and pull factors, net migration, asylum applications, and forecasts are made for the years 2000 to 2010. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Labor contractors: a conceptual overview.

"The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of labor brokering or contracting that helps to explain why employers turn to foreign workers to fill certain vacant jobs, and how the presence of foreign workers brought to a country by labor contractors can affect the size and duration of migration flows. The major conclusion is that East Asian policies that aim to avoid the settlement of unskilled foreign workers also make labor brokering a prominent feature of labor migration and migrant labor markets in the region."

The law and the management of Australian immigration.

"Two new reports document the growing role of migration advisers, lawyers and the courts in Australian immigration, as well as the conflict between the judiciary and the executive over immigration control. One consequence of this conflict is that some foreigners now have a legal right to immigrate. Foreigners continue to be able to draw on legal aid to enforce this right and the Attorney General's Department does not record the costs."

Interprovincial migration and local public goods.

"The objective of this paper is to test whether fiscally induced migration occurs in Canada; that is, whether interprovincial migration flows are influenced by government tax and expenditure policies. In order to do so, a multinominal logit model of migration is developed in which individuals choose to live in the province where their utility would be highest. The model is estimated using aggregate data for the period 1962-81.... The results indicate that migration is influenced by provincial government spending, trough the magnitude and direction of the effect differs with the type of government spending.... The implication of these results is that intergovernmental transfer payments and provincial natural resource revenues also have the potential to influence migration flows in Canada."

Effect of geographic migration on SMI prevalence estimates.

The prevalence of serious mental illness (SMI) varies by the socioeconomic characteristics of communities. This variation is presumed to be due to the differential incidence of disorders caused by adverse social factors (social causation) and differential geographic migration (social selection and drift). The objective of this study was to measure the geographic migration patterns of adults treated for SMI. A sample of 11,725 adults with three or more psychiatric hospital admissions between July 1978 and November 1992 was drawn from inpatient records. At least one third migrated to different counties between first and last admission. Migration rates were higher for Whites than for African Americans and higher for unmarried than for married patients. There were no significant differences in migration rates by gender or mental disorder. Patient migration did not parallel shifts in the general population. Patient migration was generally toward medium-size, low-income urban counties with relatively declining general populations, and movement was away from both the most rural and the largest urban counties. Public needs assessments and resource allocation policies may understate the need in communities with net SMI out-migration and overstate endemic need where there is net in-migration. In the long term, these same policies may induce migration through resource allocation decisions.
