Abstract:

The relationships between trends in migration patterns and regional employment structures during and after the Peruvian agrarian reform years are explored. Population movements, particularly the outmigration from the Peruvian countryside, are seen as influenced primarily by structural conditions of the regional economies. Census data is used to compare rates of migration between 1972, when the land reform was taking place, and 1981, after the reform measures had taken effect. These findings are compared with an analysis of trends in the regional labor force. It is found that the regional disparities in socioeconomic development would suggest much greater outmigration than is indicated by the departmental migration rates. Due to the seasonality of labor demand in agriculture, many population movements are necessarily of a temporary or circular nature. No direct correlations are made between land reform measures and rates of migration; rather, the study describes regional socioeconomic contexts of the reform, and the likely impact of the land reform on the propensity to migrate.

Abstract:

Over the past forty years, migration in China have attracted the attention of scholars all over the world for its huge magnitude and peculiarities. Millions of migrant workers leave every day their house in search for a better life. However, once moved to the big city, migrants face discrimination from their urban neighbours and exclusion from the city life. The main driver for exclusion is the hukou, a family registration system that still ties Chinese citizens to the welfare system of their place of born; once an individual moves from the countryside to the city, they cannot benefit form State aid in medical assistance, education, housing or pensions anymore. The hukou is a fundamental tool in driving population movements and reconfiguring urban and rural spaces. In the recent years, the government have tried to reform the old system by introducing lower standards for the transfer of hukou from rural to urban in a few cities. In 2014, the leadership launched a New Urbanization Plan with the aim of transferring 60% of Chinese population into urban areas. Target cities of the project are small- and medium-sized cities, which are usually far from the coastal and more developed regions, and are ready to welcome migrants from both the poor countryside and the overcrowded metropolis. By offering an easier way to obtain urban hukou, the government is trying to create new consumer pools and solve the problems related to the cities. Will the “human-centered urbanization” solve the problems faced every day by rural migrant workers? What is the relation between the plan and migration? Is it possible to talk about a new wave of return migration? In this paper, I will analyse the topic of Chinese internal migration from different perspectives and I will try to answer these questions.

Full text

Abstract:

This study attempts to elucidate aspects of the complex relationship between internal migration and development in Sierra Leone, a country marked by pronounced dualism. It argues that internal migration and its developmental facets such as remittances should be examined within their socio-economic and ecological context. The major findings can be summarised as follows: 1. Interregional migration was shown to be positively and significantly correlated with a composite index encompassing social and economic dimensions of development. 2. Since the trends in migration and development in the two sets of regions delineated positive net migration/more developed and negative net migration/less developed - have been in force for at least two decades and show no signs of narrowing regional inequality, suggest disequilibrium rather than equilibrium tendencies. This feature of the migration process was confirmed by analysis performed at the local level, which explicitly took into account, socio-economic and ecological factors along with the effects of government policies on rural outmigration. 3. A study of the determinants of interregional migration for a whole system, Sierra Leone, and its component economic sub-systems underline the importance of taking into consideration development dimensions in such analyses, 4. Finally, on the role of remittances in development, the study established that - a. Overall, that there was a net transfer of resources from the urban to the rural areas; b. In-remittances were found to be important to poorer rural households; c. Remittances received were used mainly for consumption purposes; and d. For the decision to send remittances, the common, significant variables for rural and urban households were those showing ties with origin areas; while for the decision on the size of remittances, they were the income of the head of the household and whether an unskilled manual worker or not.

Abstract:

Studying the internal migration of China since 1949, the overall effect of migration on economic performance has had a discernible impact both positive and negative at different times. There are two distinct aspects the actual migration patterns and their relative effects on the economy; and the domestic policies enacted by the PRC that directly prompted movements whether intentional or not. This thesis has led to the conclusion that it was the push and pulls aspect or opposing forces of domestic policies and the migration of the people and labor throughout this entire time period that helped shape economic successes and failures in China. This push and pull aspect is the push by the PRC to control (via domestic policies) migration patterns or urban growth and the pull (internal migration) of businesses and firms for relatively cheap labor that drive internal migration. This in my opinion is the most important aspect in this thesis. The impact that of circular cause and effect is, in turn, a crucial basis of either the economic successes or failures seen throughout the time periods examined in this thesis.

Broadhead, William Michael. "Internal migration and the transformation of Republican Italy." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2002. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1317574/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis argues that the scale of independently motivated geographical mobility within Italy during the 3rd-1st centuries BC was much greater than is usually thought, and that the impact of this type of movement on political developments was correspondingly more significant. The study of this private phenomenon, affecting the demographic face of Italy independently of Roman state control, also provides a new perspective on the wider process of transformation in this period, restoring as it does the element of individual choice. The thesis begins by distinguishing the type of independent mobility in which it is interested from other types of population movement in the same period, before providing a brief review of work on mobility in Roman Italy and other parts of the Mediterranean world. Chapter 2 examines the various types of evidence for the phenomenon: literary, epigraphical, and archaeological. Two central chapters exemplify the phenomenon - and its connection to economic change - using the full range of literary, epigraphical, and archaeological evidence to reveal patterns of mobility in two chosen areas: southern Latium, with the focus on the two important sites of Minturnae and Fregellae, and the region of the Po Valley. The final section examines the relationship between the picture of a high level of mobility, as revealed in the case studies, and the political context of Roman rule in Italy in the middle Republic. First, it is argued that the so-called ius migrandi never existed as a privilege of the Latins, but was instead a restriction placed on colonies to maintain their demographic stability. Second, it is suggested that the difficulty of preventing individual migration had seriously disruptive consequences, especially for communities suffering from emigration in the 2d century, which in turn contributed significantly to the strain on Rome's middle Republican framework of control in Italy.

Abstract:

Some of the theories in the third world countries claimed that rural to urban migration was the result of rapid urbanisation in many developing countries. With the hypothesis that migration, especially rural to urban migration, is the dominant factor for urbanisation in Malaysia, a study is undertaken to investigate whether this hypothesis is still valid. Using data from the Malaysian Censuses of 1991 and 2000, this study embarked into some empirical analysis to understand the dynamics of population movements in Malaysia and how this has shaped the population settlement in this country. The study is about time and spatial structure. The urban and rural areas in Malaysia are shaped through time and by population shifts within and between its settlements. The study analyses the population shifts by looking at internal migration in three different levels, the state level, the district level and the urban/rural level. The empirical analyses and evidences at these levels comprised the major part of this thesis. Conclusions are drawn from these analyses. The study found that short distance migration is prominent in Malaysia, although the number of population migrated from one area to the other have decreased in recent years. The rate of long distance migration is also increasing which probably the result of higher standard of living and better transportation infrastructures and facilities. The study also found that urban to urban migration has been dominant both within and between the states in Malaysia in the last few decades. Rural to urban migration is no longer dominant. In fact, rural to rural migration has been shown to be higher in many states than rural to urban migration. The study also concluded that the expansion of urban areas between the Census periods have contributed to the urbanisation in Malaysia. The increase in urban population is the result of extending boundaries of the cities and urban areas by local authorities as well as the creation of new urban areas when the previously rural areas meet the requirement to become urban areas as defined by the authority.

Abstract:

The central concern of this study is to determine the role of return migration in the changing economic and noneconomic determinants of state in-migration. It was hypothesized that the transition from primarily economic to noneconomic determinants of in-migration in the United States in the last decade was directly related to changes in the components of the migration stream itself; that is, that an increasing proportion of return migrants in the in-migration stream contributes to the movement toward noneconomic reasons for migrating. This study compares the selective characteristics of lifetime and five-year non migrants, and primary, secondary and return migrants using Public Use Sample data for 1960, 1970, and 1980. In addition, it analyzes four economic and six noneconomic determinants of migration for 1970 and 1980 usinq a data set that includes published data on state migration and socioeconomic characteristics. An analysis of the selectivities of migration has both supported and rejected existing literature. In a comparison of migrants and non migrants, migrants tend to be younger, better educated persons from white collar occupations with higher incomes and smaller households than non migrants. When migrant types are compared, return migrants tend not to be as well off as other migrants socioeconomically. They tend to have lower education, come from blue collar occupations, have larger households, be a little older and have less income than other migrants. The most significant finding is the distinction of five-year from lifetime nonmigrants. The regression analysis on the determinants of state in-migration reveals that there has been a shift from economic to noneconomic reasons for migrating from 1970 to 1980. In addition, the relative proportion of primary, secondary and return migration has changed over time. Contrary to the hypothesis, however, the trend from economic to noneconomic determinants of migration has not been related to changes in the proportion of return this study points to the relationship migration in the stream. Rather, further research that investigates between secondary migration and the changing determinants of state in-migration.

Abstract:

In this paper we use the novel (at least in regional science) technique of social network analysis and apply it to one of the most analyzed topics in the discipline, US internal migration. We want to see whether social network analysis can yield any new insights into this well known process. We want to compare the technique to more conventional methods of analysis in migration. The paper presents an overview of social network analysis, defines key concepts and describes the main components of the technique. This discussion will also involve a discussion of currently available software for social network analysis. Then, we will apply the technique to the official data about internal migration between US states as published by the US bureau of the census, to see whether the technique can reproduce the main results of the traditional techniques and whether it can yield any new insights.

Full text

Abstract:

This document deconstructs the issue of forced displacement in Colombia, focusing on the period 1992 – 2004, and has two main methodological features. The first is its interdisciplinary approach, which is both sociological and economic. The second is its multilevel orientation, which aims to tackle forced displacement in Colombia on the individual, community and aggregate levels. Given the lack of interdisciplinary theoretical approaches to forced migration, I propose a new one, based on bounded rationality from economic theory and using Castles (2003) and Richmond (1988) for the sociology of forced migration. In order to properly characterise the concept of forced displacement as one of the many modalities of migration, my literature review expands on the thesis’ remit, both in time and scope, including studies of internal migration in Colombia, between 1960 and 2004. The review reveals some interesting lacunas and regularities in the study of forced migration in Colombia: the lack of interdisciplinary studies, the lack of consensus about the real dimension of forced displacement in Colombia - as a consequence of the divergent and hence unreliable nature of current statistics - the historic role of violence for flows of migration in Colombia, the importance of land appropriation and illegal economic activities as catalysts for the decision to migrate, and the specific profiles of gender and ethnic backgrounds. These issues are addressed in three chapters: one concentrates on deconstructing the different statistics available for forced displacement in Colombia, the systems devoted to collect them and the subjective reasons that may explain the differences between them: another evaluates the recurrence of specific patterns of ethnic background and gender among a displaced community and the third evaluates he lack of social cohesion as anomie, through applying the scale of Srole (1956) as used by Lipman and Havens (1965) in their study of the anomie among displaced people in Colombia.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is formed of three separate essays. The essays are empirical in nature and use the Kagera Health and Development Survey from Tanzania. The survey spans a 19-year period offering a unique opportunity to study many long-run dynamic processes of development in rural Africa. In the first essay, a version of which was co-authored with Joachim De Weerdt, we use these data to shed light on how mass internal migration changes the nature of informal risk-sharing. By quantifying how shocks and consumption co-move across linked households, our analysis shows that migrants unilaterally insure their extended family members who remain at home. This finding contradicts risk-sharing models based on reciprocity, but is consistent with assistance driven by social norms. Migrants sacrifice three to five per cent of their consumption growth to provide this insurance, which seems too trivial to have a stifling effect on their growth through migration. The second essay studies the role of exogenous income shocks on long-term migration decisions. The results reveal that temperature shocks cause large fluctuations in household consumption and inhibit long-term migration among men. These findings suggest that liquidity constraints are binding and prevent potential migrants from tapping into the opportunities brought about by internal migration. The final essay focuses on child nutrition and examines whether under-nourished children are able to recover the height losses later in life. The essay questions the methods used in the existing empirical literature and challenges the conventional view that recovery is nearly impossible after five years of age. The empirical part of the essay documents how puberty offers an opportunity window for recovery in the case of children in Kagera.

Abstract:

This thesis contains three essays on the Indian economy. They aim to contribute towards understanding the role of geographical and sectoral mobility by examining the important components of demographical changes that bring up new economic opportunities. The ﬁrst essay investigates the relationship between geographical mobility and over-education. An other key outcome of geographical mobility is that it generates remittances in the origin areas; our second essay is therefore related to this aspect of geographical mobility, analysing the impact of remittances on left-behind household expenditure behaviour. Our third and ﬁnal essay is related to sectoral mobility, where we use information on workers in India who switch sectors to decompose the drivers of inter-sectoral wage gaps. The three diﬀerent empirical analyses give us some indication of the role of mobility in the process of development. The investigation of the outcomes of mobility also informs us if the markets work properly and if resources are eﬃciently allocated in the economy. In the ﬁrst chapter, we use data from India and correct for the selection bias problem by using an instrumental approach and propensity score matching methods. Our objective is to investigate the relationship between geographical mobility and the probability of being over-educated for the present job. We measure geographical mobility in terms of internal migration; over-education is deﬁned as a job-educational mismatch, where a person works in a job that requires the level of education lower than he possesses. The main objective of the study is to determine the extent to which more mobile workers have better job-educational matches in comparison to those who are not mobile. The results show a positive relation be tween internal migration and the probability of over-education, which implies that a worker's decision to relocate within India in search of a job does not contribute towards reducing the risk of over-education. Instead, a migrant has a slightly higher probability of incidence of over-education relative to those who are not mobile. In addition, we also try to investigate the consequences of over-education by looking at the wage eﬀect of over-education among movers and stayers. In terms of results, we ﬁnd that over-educated migrants are more likely to overcome the risk of the wage penalty associated with over-education. Overall, if these two results are linked, then they suggest that the job-educational mismatch among migrants is not driven by some discriminatory practises or lack of local knowledge; instead, this mis match could represent a trade-oﬀ for better wages. If not, an alternative explanation could be that migrants have some strong bargaining power that enable them to overcome the risk of lower wages associated with over-education. In the second chapter, we look at the impact of remittance ﬂows on the economic well-being of households in the rural part of India. To measure household well-being, we construct in dices of households productive assets, ﬁnancial assets, housing quality and consumer durables by applying a principal component analysis. Using panel data from the Indian Human Development Survey, we evaluate the changes in the stock of various kinds of assets by the incidence of remittances. The empirical ﬁndings show that remittances have a signiﬁcant eﬀect on the nature of investments carried out by the left-members in the rural household. However, the direction and signiﬁcance of the eﬀect mainly depends on the initial income status of the households. Poor households with remittances lose out on the stock of con sumer durables, but gain more in production inputs and ﬁnancial assets than those without remittances. In contrast, in the case of rich households, we do not ﬁnd any signiﬁcant impact on the stock of consumer durables, production inputs and housing quality, with one exception being the positive and signiﬁcant eﬀect on ﬁnancial assets. In terms of policy implications, these ﬁndings suggest that remittances help to reduce poverty in rural areas. Finally, in the third chapter we explore the inter-sectoral wage gaps in India. Like any other developing country, wages in Indias agricultural sector are signiﬁcantly below those of other sectors. In addition, more than 50 percent of the workforce is employed in the agricultural sector. In our study, we try to look at a puzzle which has been closely examined by several macro-economic studies i.e. why are so many workers employed in the agricultural sector, despite other sectors of the economy paying better wages? To answer this question, we will study the wage trajectories of the workers who switch sectors and compare them with those workers who do not switch sectors. Examining the wage premium from a worker's inter sectoral switching will help us to determine whether the diﬀerence in wages across sectors are due to unobservable characteristics or, alternatively, if they reﬂect the presence of diﬀerential pay between similar workers across sectors. Our results hence show a positive wage gain from the reallocation of workers out of agriculture. This ﬁnding suggests that the inter-sectoral wage gap is driven by the misallocation of resources in the economy.

We adapted the chord diagram plot to visualize China's recent inter-provincial migration during 2010-2015. The arrowheads were added to present the direction of the flows. This method allows us to show the complete migration flows between 31 provinces in China including the direction and volume of the flows. The spatial component was also clearly depicted in the plot using four color palates representing four regions in China (i.e. East, Center, West, Northeast) and arranging the 31 provinces in an approximate geographic order. Besides that, we extend the chord diagram plot to describe China's bilateral net migration during 2010-2015.

Abstract:

The dissertation investigates the interrelationship between migration and family behaviours, marriage and fertility, in the Chinese context. I apply event history techniques using data from an ethno-survey, several national-level censuses and population sample survey. Chapter 2 explores the effect of international migration on marriage chance for males and females separately. Chapter 3 studies how international migration affects fertility under the condition that the country of origin experienced strong family policies, e.g., the one-child policy. Chapter 4 explores how spousal separation due to migration affects marital fertility at couple level. The dissertation adds an interesting country case of understanding the interrelationship between migration and family events. Moreover, it accounts for the correlation between events due to unobserved characteristics. Lastly, it emphasizes the importance of socio-economic status in shaping the migration and family dynamics.

Abstract:

The main thesis of this study is that migration is an integral component of the major processes of structural change in a country. As such, migration should not be studied in isolation from the historical and evolving patterns of development of the country. In their specific forms and magnitudes, migration processes are patterned movements of human populations within and between territorial units. The important point to stress here is that these movements are a response to, and at the same time, conditions the economic and social forces which affect significant sections of a community.

Abstract:

This thesis is co~cerned with internal migration and its relationship with community backgrou~d ('religion or religion brought up in') and residential segregation in Northern Ireland. The principal concerns are how far community background has an impact on migration patterns, and the role of migration as a process in the maintenance, reinforcement or erosion of population concentrations. While the project has addressed major gaps in research on internal migration in Northern Ireland, key foci have been on the advancement of our empirical and conceptual understanding of migration and residential segregation, and on developing and applying innovative methods for the analysis, interpretation and understanding of these issues more broadly. A mixed methods approach was adopted to fulfil the research aims and key findings include that non-sectarian factors have an important influence on migration patterns and processes in the region. Quantitative analyses of migration data from the 2001 Census of Population of Northern Ireland suggested that various economic, social, demographic and housing characteristics were important. Likewise, residential choice and motivations for migration were often found to be influenced by these characteristics, as demonstrated through qualitative research with residents of selected Supplied by The British Library - 'The world's knowledge'

In this thesis, I investigate the economic linkages between internal labour migration and the welfare of migrant-sending households and communities. The analysis is couched in the new economics of labour migration theory, which recognises the familial participation in migration decisions and therefore the potential role of economic linkages between migrants and their original households.

Magister Artium (Development Studies) - MA(DVS)
This study examines internal migration, remittances and welfare impacts among migrant households in the Dormaa Municipality in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. Data were gathered though a questionnaire survey among 202 migrant households and in-depth interviews with 8 of them and some key informants. The findings were analysed largely based on the Push-Pull theory and New Economics of Labour Migration Theory. The findings of the study indicate that an overwhelming majority of migrant households reported an improved welfare as a result of having a migrant in their household who have moved away to other communities during the last 10 years and have been away for the last six months or are expected be away for six months or more. Majority of these migrants sent remittances back to their families left behind, either in the form of cash or goods. More males migrate than females,which is consistent with the general tendency for males to migrate more than females. The age category with the highest proportion of migrants was 30-39 years. Many of the migrants moved to another town or village in Ghana for work-related reasons, notably job transfer, work, or seek work/better work. The migrants themselves were the main people who made the decisions to migrate followed by spouses, parents and siblings, lending support to the collective decision making within households. Also, most of the migrants had some connections or contacts at their most recent migration destinations. A lot of the migrants relied on their personal savings to finance their migration whilst others received funds from family members and banks to finance their migration. The study recommend that government should make efforts to monitor remittance flow in Ghana and also increase awareness about the importance of remittance for the national and household economy. Further, there is the need to scale up education on social attitudes and discourses about internal migration and policy initiatives on remittance management in Ghana.

Abstract:

Research shows that more than 60 percent of South African born professionals, who graduated from South African universities, are leaving the country to work abroad in search of better working environments and financial rewards. This research assessed the intention to migrate and a number of factors that are likely to influence intentions to migrate such as age, professinal group, education, gender, and population group. The research also examined the countries to which people intend to migrate.

Abstract:

In view of theoretical proliferations in migration studies, there is a need for a more comprehensive approach to migration modeling. A central problem identified in this study was the multitude of potential variables for migration research and the lack of established procedures for selecting among them. Several studies on migration have attempted to answer cornmon migration questions, but with differing variables and therefore divergent conclusions. There is thus a strong potential for misinterpretation by researchers and policy makers. Partial theories of migration have been developed rather than a unified one. This study offers an objective process through which variables may be selected for purposes of migration model design or interpreting completed studies by researchers, policy makers and others. Meta-analysis was used to develop a heuristic framework as an operational tool for selection of migration modeling options. Because meta-analysis uses past studies as its data, a wide range of previous literature was reviewed. The literature was derived from a number of disciplines, i.e., economics, sociology, geography, demography, and schools of thought within disciplines to move toward a unified modeling framework. The variables identified for meta-analytic procedure were further subjected to a factor analysis to identify the inherent variable constructs. The 1980 intrastate migration between counties in the state of Oregon was used. The data were obtained from the IRS County to County Migration Records, the County and City Data Book, and the 1980 Census of Population. Seven clusters (constructs) emerged. They included: urban amenity, low mobility, individual mobility, negative amenity, low spatial mobility, mobility, and amenity. Each cluster was representative of a partial approach. These clusters were then tested by a regression analysis by sorting them out into amenity, spatial, and mobility related variables. The two most frequently used techniques, i.e., the basic Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and the gravity approach, were used with the same data as in factor analysis. Both OLS and the gravity approach produced a similar pattern of results. Thus, when mobility, spatial, and amenity variables were tested individually their R2 was not as high as when variables were selected from each (in spite of having the same number of variables in each). These findings have several implications. Thus a rationalized unified model, where each significant cluster is represented by a variable, allows parsimonious prediction of migration. A factor analysis is the key technique in pinpointing the minimal set of useful variables. The significance of this heuristic approach also has further implications. First, identification of an analytical structure for the development of a unified theory in migration studies. This heuristic is useful as an applied forecasting device and an academic tool in policy areas. Secondly, it provides a framework that may be useful in other social sciencesâ€™ development of theory. This modeling heuristic has some caveats. Whether an OLS or gravity model specification is used, a factor analysis of potential independent variables is an essential step. In some cases, actual data for this factor analysis may be expensive and difficult to obtain. Variables representing all clusters may not be available: irreducible specification errors are implied. Also, factor analysis requires some qualitative interpretation to elaborate clusters, both in naming them and selecting those to appear: in the reduced model. Hence, there is not a single specification from a given structure. Similarly, qualitative analysis is critical in phase I of the framework. However, in both of these instances, a wide coverage of literature provides reasonable insurance against subjective error.
