Salvadorian migration to the United States in the 1980s: what can we learn about it and from it?

This study investigates "why and how Salvadorian migrants came to the United States, and the implications of their migration....First, it presents evidence that the dichotomy used to distinguish economic and political migrations may not be adequate for examining current migration trends....Second, it illustrates the importance of social networks in international migrations from politically conflictive regions....Third, it points out that assumptions regarding the viability of social networks as sources of support among immigrants may also need revision."

Convergence and migration among provinces.

"Have regional disparities in Canada changed over the past thirty years? This paper assesses the robustness of earlier findings of convergence in the levels and growth rates of provincial per capita GDP, and then estimates the extent to which interprovincial and international migration is being influenced by regional differences in incomes and employment."

International trade in services: a growing trend among highly skilled migrants with special reference to Asia.

"An essential component of trade in services is cross-border movements of service providers.... On the one hand, there are international movements of skilled transients who emigrate for individual reasons in a long term perspective. On the other hand, there are skilled temporary migrants who perform services abroad without the intention or right to settle or seek employment in the host country. This study aims to clarify these differences using the example provided by the Asian Pacific region. Moreover, this study shows that the dynamics of skilled international migration is largely determined by the circulatory movement of skills of international service providers and has emerged as an essential component of economic development strategy of the countries in the region."

Return migration of New Zealanders: a profile of 1990 returnees.

"In the 1990s the population [of New Zealand] is experiencing higher levels of mobility than at any time in its history. However, with regards to European migration to New Zealand, the settler flows of the past have been overtaken in importance by reverse flows of temporary migrants. Now flows of new settlers come predominantly from Asia and the Pacific....This paper is about return migration--a process that has been largely ignored in the literature on international migration to New Zealand."

Economic internationalization: the new migration in Japan and the United States.

"The general proposition argued in this paper is that international migrations are embedded in larger social, economic and political processes.... The first section of the paper addresses the impact of economic internationalization on the formation of new immigration flows into the U.S. during the last 25 years. The second section examines both the magnitude and forms of Japan's recent economic presence in South and Southeast Asia. The third and fourth sections briefly review questions of policy in the U.S. and Japan during the last few years.... The fifth section conveys evidence of illegal immigration to Japan. The sixth section discusses conditions in receiving countries that make possible the adaptation of immigrants with a view to understanding how illegal immigrants in Japan could become part of the Japanese economy involving Japanese employers deeply steeped in an anti-immigration culture."

The changing character of contemporary migration.

"Although the flow of human beings between countries and continents has marked the behaviours of populations for centuries, present international migration is clearly characterized by a number of new factors which make it distinct from international movements of people in the past. This paper aims to identify such new factors relating to the underlying reasons for the international mobility of people, including the motivations of the individuals concerned, and attempts to examine the consequences as they are being faced by the individuals involved, the countries concerned and--in more general terms--the international community."

[The Tamil migratory cycle, 1830-1950].

The author examines international migration from the Indian State of Tamil Nadu during the period 1830-1950. "An attempt is made to interpret migration processes in terms of [the] migratory cycle. The cycle of migration streams is divided into three phases: perfect regulation, growing independence, government-controlled termination. These stages of the cycle correspond to the progressive constitution of a permanent migrant community in receiving countries. Such a pattern can help analyse other examples of international labour migration in the contemporary situation." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)

Trends in migration in the UK.

This article presents the latest annual statistics for international migration and for internal population movements in the United Kingdom, and compares them with recent trends. It also aims to give some information on the characteristics of the migrants from the data sources that are available. Measuring migration is not straightforward as there is no compulsory system within the United Kingdom to record movements of the population, either into the country from abroad or within the country. Nevertheless, we can estimate these movements from available data sources and so monitor migration trends and patterns.

The 'explosiveness' of chain migration: research and policy issues. Introduction and overview.

This is an introduction to Volume 23, Number 4, of the International Migration Review. This issue "focuses on the legislative and social science interface concerning the complex issue of whether the current system of United States legal immigration is promoting or facilitating an 'explosive' multiplication of immigrants.... The purpose of this collection of articles is to present the most current evidence and policy analyses of the size and composition of the immigration 'multiplier.' It assumes that there is merit in focusing attention on the overlapping interests of social science researchers and legislative analysts regarding how the system of legal immigration actually operates in promoting or reproducing future waves of immigrants."

Inter-provincial migration in Spain: temporal trends and age-specific patterns.

"This paper provides interpretation of the changing patterns of internal migration in Spain at the inter-provincial scale, and new analysis of age-specific migration during the 1980s using a 10% sample of anonymised records from the 1991 census. Schedules of age-specific gross migration rates are constructed and classified according to their shape and level relative to the national schedule, and the relationships between in-migration and out-migration rates are examined for four selected age groups to demonstrate how aggregate patterns of inter-provincial migration conceal a wide diversity of age specific experience."

Migration during early married life.

"A one percent sample drawn from the 1971 Census (the OPCS Longitudinal Study) [of England and Wales] was used to study the migration patterns of women in the early years of first marriage. Information from the retrospective fertility and migration history contained in the 1971 Census record was analyzed and the results show migration at, or soon after, marriage to be almost universal." The focus is on internal migration. Factors considered include marriage duration, age, husband's occupation, and timing of births. The value of the OPCS Longitudinal Study as a source of migration data is noted. (summary in FRE)

Longitudinal Study of Immigrants to Australia Project.

The authors report on the Prototype Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia (PLSIA), which was begun in 1991. "Topics covered...include demographic and geographic characteristics, plus employment, education and housing, both in Australia and prior to migration. Other sections cover immigrants' experiences of government programs and services, health, welfare, income and internal migration. A special feature is the attention given to immigrants' expectations of life in Australia."

Changing age-selective gross migration streams and turnaround in the Federal Republic of Germany.

"Age-specific migration changes between 1977 and 1980 reveal several modifications in the pattern of population redistribution in the Federal Republic and suggest a major alteration of the West German internal migration system. In 1980, both the 30 to 49...and the 50+ year olds move (in the net) out of densely populated regions and into sparsely populated areas. A net out-migration occurs from the large, densely populated urban regions with strong and contemporary economic bases as well as from areas with structural economic problems. Densely populated regions lose more migrants while sparsely populated areas retain additional potential movers. Diverse explanations are suggested for these age-selective migration changes."

Migration networks: a case study in the Philippines.

"In an attempt to consider contract labor and other forms of temporary migration from the Philippines within the context of several interacting processes, I will first examine aspects of the international economy and government policy that set the stage for labor movement. It will then be argued that international migration flows emerge as a complex set of links that connect individuals and communities to the national capital region and ultimately to places abroad. This approach acknowledges that structural imbalances provide conditions for potential movement, but that this potential is translated into movement flows only when links between various people, places and mediating structures are actually activated through social networks. Once these links are established, a cascading system of migration emerges that is held together by a series of interpersonal relationships."

Racism, migration and the state in Western Europe: a case for comparative analysis.

This paper offers a framework for the comparative analysis of international migration into Western Europe since 1945. It identifies "the migration of four analytically distinct categories of person which highlights the role of the state in the reproduction of the imagined community of nations. That role is carried out in the context of a more general process of the regulation of scarcity, in the course of which people are simultaneously included in and excluded from the hierarcy of economic, political and ideological positions in the nation-state. Of special interest is the content of the processes of signification and categorisation that are generated in the inclusionary and exclusionary processes. The countries selected for analysis are France, the Netherlands and Britain."

South-to-north migration since 1960: the view from the north.

"Using statistics on migration flows by country of origin gathered by three of the traditional countries of immigration (Australia, Canada and the United States of America) and five European countries (Belgium, Federal Republic of Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), this paper analyses trends in migration from developing to developed countries, the so-called 'South-to-North' component of international migration. The data reveal that persons born in the developing world now constitute a majority of the immigrants admitted for resettlement by the traditional countries of immigration. In Europe, in contrast, migrants from developed countries still predominate in migrant inflows. However, during the 1980s, European countries generally gained population from the developing world, whereas they recorded only small or even negative net migration balances with respect to other developed countries."

Migration in the urban-rural hierarchy of China: insights from the microdata of the 1987 National Survey.

Microdata from the 1987 National Population Survey are used to analyze internal migration in China in the 1980s. The focus is on the impact of migration policies on rural-urban migration. "There are two main findings. First, although the migration policy resulted in a very low migration level and systematic distortions in migration schedules, its encouragement of downward migrations was very ineffective, whereas its control on rural-to-urban migrations was partially weakened by the strong upward aspirations of rural families awakened by recent economic reform. Consequently, net in-migration contributed substantially to the growth both of city and of town populations. Second, although the level of education had a strong positive effect on the migration propensities both of males and of females in general, it had a strong negative effect on the migration propensities of females at the time of marriage, a finding which suggests that the families at subsistence income level tended to marry their daughters to grooms in other communities in order to reduce the risk of familial income shortfalls."

Is migration supply--or demand--determined? Some remarks on the ideological use of economic language.

The author briefly discusses debate on the question of "whether international migration is essentially 'supply-determined' or 'demand-determined'.... In general, the supply school holds that there are any number of migrants willing to move (usually from poor to rich countries) irrespective of demand conditions in their destination countries, whereas the demand school claims that migration actually emerges out of specific demand conditions in prospective immigration countries.... By explicitly applying economic concepts of supply and demand to migration analysis--restricting attention to the situation in receiving countries--migration can rarely be called supply--or demand--determined alone, but will usually depend on the interaction of these forces."
