Refugee flow or brain-drain? The humanitarian policy and post-Tiananmen mainland Chinese immigration to Canada.

"The humanitarian policy that the Canadian government implemented in response to the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown changed a migration system primarily based on personal networks into a brain drain. Post-Tiananmen mainland Chinese immigrants (MCIs) were better educated than those arriving in Canada previously. Among the post-Tiananmen MCIs, those who landed under the policy were better educated than those landing in other categories. The analysis suggests that post-Tiananmen MCIs represented a brain-drain rather than a refugee flow, that the humanitarian policy implicitly contained ideological and human capital concerns in addition to humanitarian concerns, and that Canada benefited from the policy by obtaining human capital as well as satisfying its humanitarian obligations and ideological aspirations."

Effects of commune-internal migration in Finland on the spatial distribution of population and on dwelling house utilization.

"The article is based on a programme of research which has been pursued for some years with the purpose of describing the extent and spatial orientation of commune-internal migration [in Finland], a topic about which very little has previously been known, relating this form of migration to total population movement and to dwelling house requirements and utilization. The analysis yields information on the dynamics of population changes occurring in areas on the margins of permanent settlement, while at the same time taking into consideration the effects of regional and in particular housing policy decisions upon the spatial distribution of population."

Ministerial Ordinance No. 650/231/88 concerning the regulation of the employment of foreigners in Burundi, 29 July 1988.

This Ordinance sets forth rules on the employment of foreigners in Burundi. It requires foreigners working in Burundi to have a work permit, applied for by the foreigner, if the foreigner is a resident of Burundi, and by the foreigner's employer, if the foreigner is not a resident. The permit is valid for one year and may be renewed. Foreigners who have been recognized as refugees or who have resided in Burundi for 15 years may obtain permits valid for five years, and the spouses of Burundi citizens and persons living in Burundi descended from a foreign father married to a Burundi citizen may obtain permanent permits. In addition, an employer desirous of hiring a foreigner must first receive authorization from the relevant Ministry. Such authorization is also valid for one year and renewable. Foreigners may not work in positions higher than those for which they were authorized unless they have acquired higher qualifications than they had when given a work permit and unless no Burundi citizen with the same ability for advancement exists. Foreign investors or their representatives need not receive authorization to work.

Globalization of infectious diseases: the impact of migration.

With up to 2% of the world's population living outside of their country of birth, the potential impact of population mobility on health and on use of health services of migrant host nations is increasing in its importance. The drivers of mobility, the process of the international movement, and the back-and-forth transitioning between differential risk environments has significance for the management of infectious diseases in migrant receiving areas. The management issues are broad, high-level, and cross-cutting, including policy decisions on managing the migration process for skilled-labor requirements, population demographic and biometric characteristics, and family reunification; to program issues encompassing health care professional education, training, and maintenance of competence; communication of global events of public health significance; development of management guidelines, particularly for nonendemic diseases; access to diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for exotic or rare clinical presentations; and monitoring of health service use and health outcomes in both the migrant and local populations.
