Geographical and economic determinants of interregional migration in the USSR, 1968-1985.

"Interregional migration results in a regional redistribution of labor, essential under the current mismatch between the locations of labor and of natural resources and industrial capacity in the USSR. This study focuses on economic and geographical determinants of destination choice of migrants from 1968 through 1985. Particular emphasis is placed upon the relative effects of economic variables and quality of life factors and on the effect of gravity variables (i.e., distance and population size). The statistically significant results for the economic and gravity variables indicate the appropriateness of using Western theories to analyze migration in the Soviet context."

Immigrants from the European socialist countries in the U.S.A. and Canada: socio-demographical aspects.

The author analyzes changes in the rate of migration and choice of destination among migrants from socialist countries in eastern and southern Europe to the United States and Canada during the period 1941-1990. "The data presented show that in the period in question the immigrants from the European socialist countries constituted only 2.9% of the total number of immigrants to the U.S.A. while their proportion in the total number of immigrants to Canada was 6.6%.... In comparison with the decades 1961-70 and 1971-80, in the middle of the 80's the proportion of immigrants from the examined countries in the U.S.A. and Canada increased.... The proportion of Poles among the emigrants from the East European countries in the U.S.A. and Canada is comparatively the highest...." (SUMMARY IN SCR)

Internal migration for recent immigrants to Canada.

"This study examines the extent to which internal migration among recent immigrants to Canada is affected and constrained by characteristics related to admission. By examining measures of information and personal ties, it may be possible to establish that migration behavior is rational regardless of economic incentives." It is suggested that "internal migration in the first year after arrival is strongly affected by characteristics such as admission status, destination at arrival, reason for immigration, and area of origin. With increasing length of residence in Canada, though, the effect of these admission factors on internal migration behavior diminishes." This is a revised version of a paper originally presented at the 1992 Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America.

[More than a century of international immigration into Argentina].

"From the second half of the 19th century, Argentina was, along with the United States and Brazil, one of the main destinations that attracted European emigration to America.... The arrival of more that six million people between 1869 and 1930 resulted in radical changes in the socioeconomic structure of the country. After the crisis of the 1930s the impact of a development plan based on the export of agricultural products waned and the economic growth accompanied with political instability generated a slowing decline of migratory flows, despite a new wave between 1945 and 1952. The decrease of international migration comes along with an important change in the composition by places of origin.... The article analyses the successive migratory policies of Argentina's government as well as the migrants' spatial distribution and their incorporation in the labor market." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)

China's "tidal wave" of migrant labor: what can we learn from Mexican undocumented migration to the United States?

"The purpose of this article is to place Chinese labor migration from agriculture within the context of the literature on labor mobility in developing countries by comparing it to undocumented Mexican migration to the United States. The similarities fall within three general areas: the migration process, the economic and social position of migrants at their destination, and the agrarian structure and process of agricultural development that has perpetuated circular migration. The last section of the article draws upon these similarities, as well as differences between the two countries, to generate predictions concerning the development of labor migration in China."

Social networks and the asylum cycle: the case of Iranians in the Netherlands.

"This paper examines the traditional distinction between the migration of refugees and labor migrants in the context of Iranian asylum seekers in the Netherlands. The empirical strategy adopted is to apply a framework designed specifically to explain labor migration to the case of asylum migration, and the social networks approach is identified as the most appropriate. This paper examines the role of social networks through the asylum cycle, focusing on the decision to migrate, the choice of destination, and adaptation in the host society. The key conclusion is that the validity of the distinction between refugee and labor migration varies through the asylum cycle even for the same individual."

Gravitation model for the magnitude of migration and its application.

"The magnitude of migration is one part of the feasibility study on migration, its result being critical to the yield of positive or negative effect.... The key to the success of migration is that the magnitude of migration must be limited within the capacity of the place of destination with generous room for flexibility. It is therefore necessary to determine the appropriate magnitude by scientific methods." The geographical focus is on China.

Language skill definition: a study of legalized aliens.

"The robustness of the model for the acquisition of destination language skills is studied using the Legalized Population Survey (LPS) of aliens who received amnesty under the 1986 [U.S.] Immigration Reform and Control Act. The English language proficiency variables include self-assessed overall speaking skills (the census question), speaking and reading skills in specific situations, perceptions as to whether language skills limit job opportunities, and measures of speaking and reading proficiency at work. The model is found to be robust across definitions of proficiency. Proficiency increases with exposure, efficiency and economic incentives for English language acquisition. The panel feature of the data is used to analyze changes in proficiency over time."

Impacts of low-skilled immigration on the internal migration of the U.S.-born low-skilled Americans in the United States: an assessment in a multivariate context.

"This paper assesses the impacts of low-skilled immigration on the interstate migration of...U.S.-born low-skilled Americans, based on the disaggregated data of the 1990 Census. Our results reveal that the push effects of...immigration on the departure process [were] much stronger than its discouraging and complementary effects on the destination choice process; and that the push effects of low-skilled immigration are (1) stronger on whites than on non-whites, (2) much stronger on the poor than on the non-poor, (3) weaker on the 15-24 age group than on older age groups, and (4) the strongest on poor whites."

[Migration and socioeconomic changes in the community of Zoogocho, Oaxaca].

"This study of migration and the socioeconomic dynamics of the community of Zoogocho in the state of Oaxaca [Mexico] is an example of what happens in rural areas when Indian-campesinos establish contacts with foreign parts. The penetration of alien socioeconomic and cultural values alters both family and communal structures to such an extent that available resources prove insufficient in competing with the colliding external society. This leads to increasingly more complex movements of the population, the manifestations, causes and consequences of which vary through time not only in the places of origin but also in destinations."

[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."

The delayed transition from folk to labor migration: the Netherlands, 1880-1920.

"This article analyzes Netherlands government statistics on overseas emigration, 1880-1920, which reveal that the process of industrialization caused a major social structural shift in the 1890s. A system of urban labor migration replaced the traditional rural folk movement and the primary destination shifted away from the United States to Dutch colonies in Asia and South America. The Netherlands belatedly 'caught up' with the rest of Western Europe in the shift from family to industrial overseas emigrants."

A three-dimensional approach to multistream migration modelling: local-level flows in Hereford and Worcester.

Using data for the English county of Hereford and Worcester, the author presents a method for the analysis of migration at the local level "which does not disaggregate migrant flows by distance criteria alone, but incorporates measures relating to the nature of the origins and of the destinations." The author suggests that "in comparison with a standard single-stream regression model this method improves the fit substantially, and the variability in the resulting parameter estimates for each of the eight streams supports the need for identification of distinct migrant streams. In particular, flows over short distances between wards with high population densities are estimated more effectively."

Modelling regional migration in China: estimation and decomposition.

"In this paper I consider the issue of identifying the effects of spatial structure and the origin and destination attributes on interregional migration. A decomposition approach is developed based on migration models. The interprovincial migration data in China over the period 1985-1990 are used to estimate a gravity migration model, an extended gravity model, a Poisson gravity model, and a multilevel Poisson model, which are then used to decompose the various effects on migration in China."

[An Egyptian national survey on international labor migration (1974-1985)].

International labor migration from Europe is analyzed based on data from the Egyptian Emigration Survey of 1985. "In all, roughly 2 million Egyptians emigrated, as workers or their dependents, between 1974 and 1985, and 1.5 million were abroad at the time of the survey....Emigrants tend to be unaccompanied males (average age 32 years), probably because of tight controls on dependents and difficult living conditions in the receiving countries. The majority are nevertheless married....Both workers and their dependents are increasingly well educated. Destinations have changed over the decade: Libya and Jordan have declined in importance, following political and economic upheavals respectively, while Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are now taking larger numbers of Egyptian workers. Emigration to Iraq seems to be more modest than sometimes reckoned (500,000), and almost entirely made up of single males." The impact of emigration on Egypt is also considered.

Modelling internal migration in Kenya: an econometric analysis with limited data.

"In this paper the determinants of internal migration in Kenya are analyzed on the basis of a human capital model. Explanatory variables included in the specification are both economic (wage rates and employment rates) and noneconomic (for example, population density and educational attainment). Also incorporated are variables which reflect intervening opportunities.... The econometric results show that destination variables are important determinants of internal migration, as is distance between the districts. Further, the variables for the intervening opportunities add significantly to the explanatory power of the model."

On generalizing the economic analysis of international migration: a note.

The author critically examines an article by Kar-Yui Wong concerning "two important, well-known propositions on international factor movements--namely, first, finite international factor movements are beneficial to the nationals of the destination-country but detrimental to those who are left behind in the source-country; and second, marginal movements do not have such welfare implications.... The present paper, by utilizing the indirect trade utility function, derives...results in a manner that is both direct and at once intuitively transparent."

[Migration from Southern Italy to Argentina: Calabrians and Sicilians (1880-1930)].

"The study analyzes Italian emigration to Argentina from Sicily and Calabria between 1880-1930, compared with out-migration flows from Piedmont. The concepts of cultural patrimony and of migratory strategy are used to measure the different potentials and job opportunities in the Argentinean labor market as well as in the Italian context for those returning home. Considering the high proportion of returnees, a positive or negative correlation between region of origin and of destination can be proposed. Southern Italians indicate a more permanent settlement. The authors conclude that the Argentinean society in its Italian component is the result of Southern rather than Northern influences." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
