), Handbook of population and family economics. The re-emergence of guest worker programmes is currently receiving strong support, not only from international organizations such as the International Labour Organization and the International Organization for Migration, but also from scholars (Piche?, 2012). (1989). However, following on from Morokvasic, the role of gender relations in migration decisions has been addressed as part of a specific theory of womens place in society. The second point concerns the period covered, namely the decades from the 1960s up to the year 2000. Recent research on the more global economic effects of immigration (at macro level) has produced results that are contradictory and uncertain to say the least (He?ran, 2002). Most of the texts presented so far focus on legal and voluntary migration. The discourse of the extreme far-right political parties emerging in many parts of the world is based, among other things, upon an anti-immigration stance, sometimes linked to Islamophobia. On voit ainsi se dvelopper des thories qui, privilgiant dabord des approches micro-individuelles centres sur lanalyse cot-bnfice, vont peu peu intgrer les facteurs macro-structurels. The determinants of interregional and international migration is a topic which has received considerable attention from economists. In his view, the idea that immigration reduces the economic well-being of current citizens is not a valid argument for imposing restrictions. Is there a fundamental contradiction here between neo-liberalism, which promotes free circulation of capital, goods and services, and the new protectionist model of migration management based on flexibility and circularity? 38In their discussion of the factors of refugee migration, Zolberg, Suhrke and Aguayo make an important distinction between internal and external effects. 55The second dimension to be more fully integrated in migration theory concerns migrants rights. In short, they show that the dynamics leading to the inception of social conflicts are not purely internal, but transnational, and that as conflicts develop, they tend to be further internationalized. But Castles and Kosacks key contribution was to highlight the hierarchical structure of employment, with immigrants often at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder, leading to a division of the working class. The second current concerns the effects of immigration on national identities. ), Crossing borders: Regional and urban perspectives on international migration. Calvo, G. (1978). Borjas, G. (1990). Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, 52, 241305. Throughout history, each society has developed demographic reproduction strategies by combining the reproductive mechanisms of fertility, mortality and migration. In: The Economics of Immigration. Research on the effects of migration is in turn fragmented, between macro and micro approaches, and between the contexts of developed and developing countries. Oberai and Manmohan also mention that the relative effect of remittances is strongest for the poorest households. First, by founding texts, we refer to the landmark articles or book chapters that have shaped the progress of migration studies. 23The network approach also underpins the model of cumulative causation proposed by Douglas Massey (1990*). Zipf, G. (1946). viewpoint. His analytical framework sought to identify all the elements liable to influence migration, ranging from the economic environment to technology, the social environment and political factors. Stark, O. He points up the absence of appropriate policies to address the new challenges of migration, notably the build-up of emigration pressure due to mounting inequalities. Becker makes it clear that migration is an act of investment in ones human capital when he states The many forms of such [human capital] investments include schooling, on-the-job training, medical care, migration, and searching for information about prices and income (our italics). This global perspective became increasingly fashionable from the 2000s, and generated abundant literature on transnational networks (Schiller et al., 1992; Faist, 2000; Vertovec, 2009). 11Despite the old and outdated vocabulary of Zelinskis article, his contribution is significant on two levels. Google Scholar. The costs and returns of human migration. Journal of Political Economy, 64, 416425. The 20 texts brought together in the collective work published by INED are identified in the text and the bibliography by an asterisk (*). Runciman, W. (1996). Burda, M. (1995). This approach was later developed widely in research on migration in developing countries, particularly with regard to survival strategies and migrants capacity to become actors of change (De Haas, 2010). The emergence of migration theory and a suggested new direction. Pich V.. For an exception in the field of fertility and health, see Riley and McCarthy, 2003. Migration, unemployment and development: a two-sector analysis. Under this theory, the mere consideration of gender as a variable among others is not enough; it must be developed as a central concept (Boyd, 1989*; Pessar, 1999; Lutz, 2010). The second concerns the impact of migration on non-migrant populations and on the native-born inhabitants of destination countries. What fundamentals drive world migration? European Economic Review, 37, 452461. Emigration pressures are primarily the result of increasing inequalities between countries which, in turn, are the result of factors internal to less developed countries and their relations with developed countries. The theory of wages. Journal of Political Economy, 81 (Supplement), 514564. International Migration Review, 23, 457485. ), remittances will not significantly accelerate local or national development. You might also want to visit our French Edition. We will return to this point later in relation to the founding text by Oberai and Manmohan (1980*). In particular, he considers that the notion of migration network as developed by Massey is overly restrictive as it focuses on social and family networks primarily based in the same regions of origin as the migrants themselves. Today, the evolutionist perspective has been almost entirely abandoned, in sociology and anthropology at least, in part due to the influence of the postmodern approach which contests the universality of theories in the social sciences. (1986). This approach is often associated with the paper by Larry Sjaastad published in 1962*, in which he sought to identify the costs and returns and to determine the rate of return on resources allocated to migration. PICH Victor, Les thories migratoires contemporaines au prisme des textes fondateurs. It is the interplay of these two processes that drives the circular system. It is a pioneering study which aims to clarify the various definitions and typologies and, above all, to place migration theories in their historical context. Taking an opposite stand to the proponents of this approach, several scholars have questioned the assumption that ethnic enclaves are advantageous for immigrants (Sanders and Nee, 1992). These authors turn the problem around by considering the links between emigrants and sending regions via the notion of remittances, a key vector, in their view, of the impact of emigration in developing countries. Based on the literature reviews published since 2000, one might be tempted to say yes. Todaro, M. (1976). Altogether, Sjaastad's model accounts for four aspects of the migration investment decision: (i) the imperfect synchronization of migration's benefits and costs over time; (ii) earnings differences between origin and destination locales; (iii) cost of living differences between the origin and destination; and (iv) the migrant's rate of time In: J. Frankel (Ed. Economic theory and international migration. The human capital perspective leads to the implications that the immigration rate depends upon international differences in the returns to factor supply, controlling for migration costs, skill levels, income inequality, and immigration policies. For Sjaastad, "it is particularly useful to employ the human capital concept and to view migration, training, and experience as investments in the human agent". Borjas has also presented the same models in three expository surveys of the immigration literature (see Borjas, 1990, 1994, 1999). (2002a). She thus subscribes to the distinction, established by Burawoy (1976) and Meillassoux (1975), between the public and private spheres, and above all, the necessary articulation between the two when analysing female migration strategies. 3Our first question concerns the very definition of migration. According to the human capital theory of migration (Sjaastad, 1962), people are likely to move to regions with many employment opportunities. Explaining U.S. immigration, 19711998. In 2011, for example, remittances to developing countries totalled USD 372 billion, an increase of 12.1% with respect to 2010, and with an annual growth rate of 7-8%, the total could reach USD 467 billion by 2014 (Ratha and Silwal, 2012). 31Transnationalism often conveys a positive image of migration, and this image has been embraced and disseminated by international organizations including the World Bank, the International Organization for Migration, and the various instances of the United Nations. 49It is the fear of huge waves of illegal immigration that shapes some areas of current political discourse and that serves to justify restrictive measures. Here, migration is no longer seen in terms of permanent rupture, and attention focuses rather on the links that are maintained between the home society and the host society, since migrants lives cut across national boundaries and bring two societies into a single social field. Polachek, S., & Horvath, F. (1977). Larry Sjaastad, professor emeritus of economics and a leading expert on trade in Latin America, died May 2. Journal of Economic Literature, 13, 397433. Challenging the postulate of the rational actor maximizing interests under market forces, Burawoy introduced political and structural factors. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-2116-0_2, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-2116-0_2, eBook Packages: Business and EconomicsEconomics and Finance (R0). Southern Economic Journal, 58, 392405. Review of Economics and Statistics, 89, 359373. Researchers no longer focus on the situation in immigration regions, but rather on the links between emigration and development in the emigration regions. 44Migration theories do not serve solely to understand and explain, but also to justify migration policy choices. Beyond measurement problems, debate often focuses on the economic impact of irregular migration. This third form of labour market incorporation introduces the idea that unqualified immigrants are not all at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder, and that working in an immigrant enclave may be advantageous as it offers real opportunities for advancement. The second question pertains to the connection between In short, for several authors, womens marginal position on the labour market is a reflection of family choices which perpetuate gender inequalities (Tienda and Booth, 1991). Anderson, J. They may be employers looking for migrant labour, but also traffickers. (2010). A second current, linked to postcolonial studies, examines the consequences of transferring the human and symbolic colonial legacy to the heart of the metropolis. Vous avez t dconnect car votre compte est utilis partir d'un autre appareil. (1979). 9While Lees model is mentioned in literature reviews on migration theories, it has been widely criticized. It would be of utmost interest to explore the conception of mobility in these great works, but our purpose is elsewhere. Journal of Labor Economics, 4, 131149. A gendered approach to migration decision-making rounds off this analysis. Bhagwati, J., & Srinivasan, T. (1974). Research on this question remains overly ideological, and does not focus adequately on practical analysis of the living conditions of migrants and their families. This attention reflects both the importance of the flows and the complexity of the behaviour. Two questions, in particular, must be studied in greater depth: What are the new manpower needs of the developed economies, and how will they evolve? Yet while these major classics have marked the social sciences, their contributions to the field of migration are few. But in all cases, these effects are small, or even negligible (Card, 2009). 7Sjaastads paper laid the groundwork for the general schema for migration presented by Everett Lee in 1966*. Curiously, the first dimension has rarely been studied in developed countries, as if the positive effects of migration at individual level could be taken for granted. Graves, P. (1983). Remittances may thus be used unproductively, and making them more productive is a leitmotif of future research. Happiness: Lessons from a new science. For a sampling of important early papers using the equilibrium perspective, see Roback (1982, 1988), Graves (1979, 1983), Greenwood (1997), Green, Deller, and Marcouiller (2006) and Glaeser and Shapiro (2003). While postmodernism has never held sway in demography,[2] two research currents have exerted a certain influence in the field of migration theory. His most important conclusion is that the methodological arsenal of modern econometrics is incapable of providing a single shred of evidence to prove that immigrants have a substantial and adverse impact on the earnings and labour market opportunities of US natives. The economic theory of cross-border migration is concerned with three questionswhy migrate, who migrates, and what are the consequences for source and destination countries? Science, 237, 733738. 39The authors also discuss refuge migration in the global context, with its enormous asymmetries in terms of power and wealth across different regions of the world. 8Alongside the notions of negative and positive factors, and of intervening obstacles and opportunities, Lee alludes, when discussing Ravensteins laws of migration (1885, 1889), to additional factors that would later be developed by other scholars. Journal of Labor Economics, 5, 452476. Tous droits rservs pour tous pays. A model of labour migration and urban unemployment in less developed countries. What can economists learn from happiness research? Journal of Economic Literature, 10, 159198. He points out that it is not so much the actual factors at origin and destination as the perception of these factors which results in migration. They also stated that there is no all-encompassing theory to explain international migration. 1987:102; Sjaastad, 1962:85). In addition to the migration work, Larry has made lasting research contributions in several other areas, most importantly public finance and international economics. Their pioneering text on the economic contribution of immigrants advanced a series of hypotheses that served as a guiding thread for subsequent research. Recent literature reviews pay scant attention to female migration (see, for example, Massey et al., 1998; Zlotnik, 2003). This figure represents an analytical framework which sees migration as a multifactorial and multidimensional phenomenon and which incorporates its three main ingredients: origin and destination; micro, meso, macro and global analysis levels; and economic, social and political dimensions (Piche?, 2004). The first two concern the primary and secondary labour markets. PICH Victor, "Contemporary Migration Theories as Reflected in their Founding Texts", The economic effects of immigration: structural, macro approach in developed countries, Migration and development: the case of developing countries, The micro-economic effects of immigration, Political effects: the case of refuge migration, The social effects of migration: minorities versus majorities. Brookfield: Ashgate. In general, the first dimension a change of residence is the main criterion used. For Tapinos, examining the economic and political challenges of irregular migration involves identifying what makes this type of migration specific with respect to regular migration. A 3-year PhD fellowship in fish migration theory and applications is offered by the National Institute for Aquatic Resources (DTU Aqua) at the Technical University of Denmark.If you are interested in An important contribution was by Sjaastad , who articulated a theory of internal migration as a type of human capital investment. Journal of Economic Literature, 40, 402435. Happy life-expectancy: A comprehensive measure of quality-of-life in nations. How will national and supranational states respond to these new needs? Molho, I. She examines the reorganization of industrial production, as reflected in the proliferation of sweatshops exploiting undocumented workers, and of industrial homework. In an evolutionist perspective, these societies will develop if they adopt more modern structures and the attitudes that underpin them. Hedonic prices and implicit markets: Product differentiation in pure competition. Hatton, T., & Williamson, J. Immigration and self-selection. Under this paradigm based, moreover, on the principle of national sovereignty in migration policy these policies are shaped by the economic needs of the countries concerned, and hence focus mainly on the labour market. Sjaastad argued that a person migrates . The precarious situation of irregular migrants, and their limited bargaining power, foster discriminatory practices. Lanalyse des rseaux migratoires occupe une place centrale aussi bien dans les cadres explicatifs que dans les travaux propos des effets de la migration sur le dveloppement conomique. Gorter, C., Nijkamp, P., & Poot, J. El cuadro analtico que aqu se propone presenta la migracin como un fenmeno multifactorial y multidimensional que integra tres dimensiones principales: el origine y el destino, los niveles de anlisis micro, meso, macro y global, y las dimensiones econmicas, sociales y polticas. The text by Georges Tapinos (2000*) is an exception, and his study of irregular migration provides a useful complement to the analyses of Bimal Ghosh. The Neoclassical Economic Theory, which is mainly used to describe migration between two countries, suggests that there is a correlation between the global supply and demand for labour and the reason people migrate, effectively driven by a wage gap among geographical areas (Sjaastad 1962; Todaro 1969; Jennissen 2007). 19952002. Sjaastad's framework has been extended in a variety of ways . In particular, literature reviews on the impact of remittances suggest that situations are very heterogeneous and that cash transfers alone are not sufficient to boost the economic development of a region (or country) if there are no genuine investment opportunities in the localities where the beneficiary households live (Skeldon, 2008 and De Haas, 2010). A new approach to the economic theory of fertility behavior. It is interesting to note that at around the same date, in fact a year before Burawoy, Claude Meillassoux (1975), not cited by the author, had proposed the same approach for the African context, articulating domestic and capitalist modes of production, and the separation of the two functions (reproduction and maintenance of the labour force). Layard, R. (2005). 6Without doubt, Sjaastads greatest contribution was to introduce the notion of human capital into migration theory to get around the problem of estimating returns. 4 . It was not until the late 2000s that this approach resurfaced in a systematic manner, and the recent book by Pcoud and Guchteneire (2009) has shaken many certainties as to the immutability of the utilitarian principle. An econometric study of international trade flows. The social process of international migration. This provides a means to sidestep the fragmentary nature of the demographic field by calling upon the notion of demographic regime. The Determinants of International Migration: Theory. Economic Development and Cultural Change, 31, 191196. On this question, Castles (1993*) advanced a series of hypotheses on the situation of migrants and minorities in western Europe, notably with respect to migration policies and the issues of citizenship, racism and identity. In her view, immigration is a primarily urban phenomenon, concerning the major urban centres of the developed world. reality but did not change core of the original theory.

Migration management calls for coordination between governments. nomic content of the theory of migration proposed by Larry Sjaastad. For Tapinos, this must be multilateral management; it would be anachronistic to address immigration control exclusively in terms of sovereignty. Cloud State University, St. In G. DeJong & R. Gardner (Eds. Yap, L. (1977). The basic postulate of his approach is explicit, namely that the analysis of private costs and returns is valid only in the case of voluntary migration which, in a competitive economy, satisfies the requirement of optimum allocation of resources. Internal migration in developed countries. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative, Over 10 million scientific documents at your fingertips, Not logged in Migration and business cycles. Pessino, C. 1991. 26For Stephen Castles and Godula Kosack (1972*), immigration has become a structural necessity in response to the needs of western capitalism. For now, governments are tending to restrict permanent migration in favour of circular and temporary migration, resulting in the emergence of new categories of non-citizens. The main feature of enclaves is their high proportion of immigrant workers working for businesses belonging to other immigrants (Light, 1972). THE HUMAN CAPITAL MODEL OF MIGRATION Many models of migration have a thin base of theoretical support and are difficult to relate to the body of microeconomic the-ory. Drawing on the theory of labour market segmentation as developed by Michael Piore (1979), the authors describe three modes of incorporation. In R. Ehrenberg (Ed. 52We have presented the various theoretical approaches by examining the paths along which new ideas unfold. Journal of Regional Science, 23, 541546. The central notion of his theory is based on the principle of geographical separation of the processes of labour force renewal (reproduction) from those of maintenance. Willis, R. (1973). L. Sjaastad Published 1 October 1962 Economics Journal of Political Economy Migration research has dealt mainly with the forces which affect migration and how strongly they have affected it, but little has been done to determine the influence of migration as an equilibrating mechanism in a changing economy. Migration theories and evidence: An assessment. He also talks about discrimination and the inauguration of other kinds of diversity among people, laying the foundations for wide-ranging subsequent research on multiracial and multicultural societies. An exception is the approach taken by Sjaastad [11] who began a tradition of treat-ing migration as an investment in human capital. The first selected text is by Alan Simmons (1987*). His text highlights some of the inadequacies of existing migration policies and practices, and argues in favour of a more comprehensive, balanced and transparent multilateral regime to manage migration. 18Burawoys approach introduces macro-structural factors into the circular migration process. New York: Modern Library. Most studies of migration determinants investigate the impact of. Borjas tends to favour the second view. Each text marks a major advance in the understanding of migration, its causes and its effects. Dichos textos estn al origen de avances significativos en la explicacin de las migraciones, de sus causas y de sus efectos. INTRODUCCIN. 1) Migration theory and the experience of a natural disaster in relation to migration Migration theories in general have focused on cost-benefit analysis (Sjaastad 1962 as presented in Speare 1974),the mover-stayer model . Demography, 26, 114. They may contribute to productive investments aiming to develop and diversify agriculture or non-farming activities in rural areas; they may be spent on housing or education or, quite simply, serve to alleviate the poverty of those left behind in the villages. 40These ideas have not been widely developed since the work of Zolberg, Suhrke and Ahuayo in the 1980s. In O. Stark (Ed. (1986). Shields, G., & Shields, M. (1989). London: Macmillan. I. Hence, the actors involved in migration networks are not always facilitators; some may also be exploiters.

Alejandro Portes and his team have shown that migrants may be incorporated into the labour market in several different ways (Wilson and Portes, 1980*). Are third world emigration forces abating? It is Sassen who can take credit for developing the concept of the global city from where the world economy is managed and serviced.
