["Ana-Yana", those who go away from the Dogon region (Mali)].

"Our purpose is to study the migrations of a Malian population, the Dogon (district of Sangha, Bandiagara's cliff). We distinguish three patterns of emigration: emigration through West African frontiers (mainly Ivory Coast, Ghana), internal movements and a deplacement towards the plain of Seno Gondo. Each pattern of migration has its own [characteristics] with regards to age, gender, nuptiality and geographical origin of migrant people.... We conclude by a sociological analysis of the causes and consequences of emigration in the Dogon society." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)

[Population, migration, and development].

"Rapid demographic growth in Africa has not been accompanied by economic development. It has generated important flows to the North. Family planning programs will not be sufficient to solve the problems caused by...demographic growth and they will most likely increase in the future. Controls of these [outflows] are unlikely to effective. Under these conditions, only the economic development of the South will allow the limitation of outmigration." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)

Post Second World War immigration from Balkan countries to Turkey.

"Although there are some works, both in English and Turkish, that have studied migration into the Ottoman empire from the Balkans during the 19th century...it is difficult to find any systematic and comprehensive literature that examines the period since the establishment of the Turkish Republic.... This article aims at filling some of this gap....[The article offers] an analysis of the size and causes of migration from the Balkans to Turkey since the end of the Second World War. The statistics for tables used in this article, unless stated otherwise, have been obtained from the General Directorate of Village Works in Ankara, which is responsible for keeping the statistical records on immigrants arriving in Turkey."

[Restructuring in Mexico and the United States and international migration].

"This article relates some of the new trends in Mexican migration to the United States to the various moments, forms and intensities of restructuring in both countries. It states that the new forms of precarious employment in Mexico have to do not just with the size of migrant flows and migrants' socioeconomic characteristics, but with the responses of host populations. It ends by stating that Mexican migrants will become more and more irritating to middle class Americans if the types of jobs being created in Mexico do not change." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)

[Migration as a way to spread risk within a family. The example of the Ivory Coast].

"In this paper we look at migration as a family decision of risk-sharing. The theoretical model is based on the maximisation of a joint utility function under a budget constraint which depends on the decision taken. To assess its relevance, an empirical version of this dichotomous model is estimated. Evidence from [an Ivory Coast case study] confirms some traditionally looked-at motives for migration and supports the idea of risk-sharing behaviour." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Two regional (rural-urban) life tables for India.

"This paper proposes to construct, for India, a two-regional life table, considering two regions viz., rural and urban. Such a table provides information on the probabilities of survivorship and migration, as well as life expectancy by age, region and place of birth and in particular information on: (1) The probability that an individual living in a rural area at age x will be living in an urban area at age y. (2) Life expectancy at birth in a rural area, and the number of years on average this individual may live in an urban area. The aim here is to compare and contrast rural to urban and urban to rural migration probabilities by sex and age for the years 1971, 1981 and 1991, and provide the underlying reasons. Region-specific life expectancy is also compared for these years." (SUMMARY IN ITA AND FRE)

Environmental concerns and international migration.

"This article focuses on international migration occurring as a result of environmental changes and processes. It briefly reviews attempts to conceptualize environment-related migration and then considers the extent to which environmental factors have been and may be significant in initiating migration. Following is an examination of migration as an independent variable in the migration-environment relationship. Finally, ethical and policy dimensions are addressed."

A quantitative analysis of major determinants of rural-urban migration in Nigeria.

"This paper discusses some major determinants of rural-urban migration in Nigeria using the logit estimation technique. It utilizes cross-sectional data generated from a national sample survey of internal migration conducted...between January and March 1988.... The empirical results revealed that the significant determinants of rural-urban migration in Nigeria are income, contact, cost, spoken English, ability to speak two Nigerian languages, distance, marital status, sex and ethnicity. The results further suggest that rural-urban migration is selective of single people and males. Proximity to urban areas where prospective migrants have relatives, friends and townspeople is an important factor."

The net national costs of illegal immigration into the United States.

"This article examines the major economic pros and cons of illegal immigration and answers the question: what, if any, are the public and private costs of illegal immigration in the United States? In brief, the article finds that between four and 5.4 million illegal immigrants reside here.... The article also finds that illegal immigrants and their own citizen children cost taxpayers an additional $12 to $16.2 billion annually for education, public services, and incarceration after deducting all local, state, and federal taxes paid in by them. In the private sector, illegal aliens are found to save their employers and owners of capital about $1.5 billion more than U.S. workers lose due to wage depression. The article also considers what legal and enforcement reforms would be necessary to dramatically slow the current flow of 300,000 illegals yearly and concludes that, although improvements in the system are now being proposed, the actual reforms will be insufficient to more than stem the currently rising tide of illegals due to economic instability in Mexico and the Third World."

Where do Americans live abroad?

"This article examines the factors that influence emigration of U.S. citizens. Data from a 1993 survey administered by the U.S. Department of State as part of an evacuation requirements report form the basis for the empirical analysis. The empirical analysis explains the distribution of U.S. citizens residing in 65 foreign countries in terms of economic and political characteristics of the foreign states. The study finds that U.S. citizens are more likely to reside in rich and close countries than in distant and poor countries and that the foreign country's ties to the U.S. immigrant population and the use of the English language are important determinants of where Americans settle abroad. Political conditions and U.S. military presence also influence the choice of foreign residence."

[Exchanges, transportation, and communication: Turkish circulation and migratory domain].

"In this article, the author first describes and then analyzes how networks of exchange, transportation, and communication function to animate and irrigate the Turkish migratory domain, which currently covers Europe, the Middle East, and the CIS, and which has become transoceanic (North America and Australia).... The author suggests a dynamic vision of the migratory domain, based on the mobility of people and goods, and associated with various means of transportation (air, sea, rail, and road), as a complement to the static vision, which observes the emergence of immigrant communities undergoing a complex process of ethnicization (or assimilation) in highly diversified environments."
