"Spouse migration [to Australia] makes up 40 per cent of the current migration program and appears likely to expand further. The rules governing sponsorships, especially those made off-shore, need to be tightened if the settlement problems associated with this migration category are to reduced."
"This article's thesis is that Europe is undergoing an international but intracontinental migration such as it has not seen since the beginning of the Cold War. The authors cite several reasons for the recent outburst of migration: ethnic relocation, the search for refuge and asylum, and the need for work. They also present a country-by-country description of sending and receiving nations. The push and pull factors causing such massive migration cannot only be contained by the present methods of having each government erect legislative and other barriers--such as armed border guards--against newcomers."

"This article studies migration from the poor countries of the South to those of the rich North, with special reference to the case of Tunisia. The study is divided into two parts. The first...outlines a brief history of Tunisian migration and underlines the active role taken by governmental organizations in promoting and controlling migratory flows, seen in their twofold goals of patching up internal inequities and, at the same time, boosting development. Statistical data regarding flows towards the most popular destinations are reported, along with possible developments in the future. The second looks at...whether migration is good for the sending country." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)

"This article examines past and present migrations to Germany from the perspective of nation-state formation.... Focusing on the many experiences with the Polish minority (ranging from the eighteenth century to the present), this essay suggests that Germans have never discovered an acceptable and workable approach for dealing with large non-German minorities in the German nation-state. Rather, different regimes at different times have vacillated between an exclusive approach founded on nationalist principles and practices and an inclusive one founded on liberal principles and practices.... The confusion over the two approaches produces not only a confused immigration policy, but also reflects deep-seated confusion over the definition of the new German state and identity of the newly united German nation."

The characteristics of international labor migrants from the Philippines are examined. "Based on an analysis of a sample of 495 Middle East workers and 1983 worker placements, this paper presents a profile of Filipino workers in the Middle East with reference to such variables as occupation, gender, age and work experience, civil status, education, Philippine residence, household size and number of dependents." (summary in FRE, SPA)
"This paper, in a comparative analysis of the Philippines and Indonesia, examines first under what conditions can migration favorably contribute to the process of economic development and then to what extent can economic growth impact upon reducing emigration pressures in these labor surplus economies. The paper also argues that there is still considerable scope for putting in place [an] agreed set of rules and policies to ensure better protection for the more vulnerable migrants."

Population policy may be defined differently by students of demography but it is generally defined as measures aiming at influencing demographic processes--fertility, mortality, and migration--through public and private programs. Population policy may also be classified into different types: direct and indirect policies; population influencing and population responsive policies; explicit and implicit policies; and domestic and international policies. For Thailand, earlier population policies tended to be policies aimed at increasing the size of population through pronatalist and public health measures. However, findings of various studies in the early 1960s indicated that the rate of population growth in Thailand since the end of World War II had been as high as 3% per annum. These had led the government to eventually issue the first national population policy statement "supporting family planning through a voluntary system..." in March 1970. The first 5-year family planning program was included in the health plan of the Third National Economic and Social Development Plan (1972-1976). From the Fourth National Economic and Social Development Plan (1977-1981) onwards, population policies were made more comprehensive to cover all dimensions of population: population growth; quality of population; and population distribution and human settlements. Since population policy is an integral component of overall economic and social policies, conflicts between objectives of sectoral policies have to be minimized as much as possible. Future options of the population policies were briefly discussed.
"The authors contend that problems associated with rapid demographic growth in developing countries have to be tackled through comprehensive population and human resource planning. Linkages between population and development are especially close in the area of labour markets. Following a discussion of the impacts of demographic factors on labour supply, labour demand and migration, the article proposes a practical framework in which population and human resource development plans may be operationalised. The concluding section briefly discusses the emerging area of population policy formulation and implementation."

"Economic theory suggests that transnational migration results from the push-pull effect of wage differentials between host and source countries. In this paper, we argue that political instability exacerbates the migration flow, with greater instability leading to relatively larger flows. We conclude then that an optimal solution to the illegal immigration problem requires proper coordination of immigration and foreign policies by the host country. A narrow preoccupation with tougher immigration laws is wasteful and may be marginally effective." Emphasis is on the United States as a host country.
