Skilled International Migration and the Global City
A. M. Findlay, F. L. N. Li, A. J. Jowett, R. Skeldon, Skilled International Migration and the Global City: A Study of Expatriates in Hong Kong, Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Vol. 21, No. 1 (1996), pp. 49-61
Migrating to Learn and Learning to Migrate
The research reported here evaluates whether students come to the UK mainly for educational reasons, and therefore perceive their stay as temporary, or whether emigration for study is being used as part of a conscious strategy by people intending to become future labour migrants.... The simplest interpretation of the results appears to be that migration, experienced as a result of international moves for study purposes, does not influence plannin…
Discourse on Migration and Ethnic Identity
This paper has revealed a complex set of relationships between migration, place and ethnic identity [in Hong Kong]. On the one hand, ethnic identity is shaped by the places where people have lived, particularly the places where they have spent the early years of their life; on the other [hand], places--being the context for socialization--provide the milieux where people learn who and what they are and how to act...." The authors note that "while…

A survey of Hong Kong doctors with overseas work experience was undertaken by the authors to examine the factors influencing the length of employment overseas and the propensity to return. Statistic…

China's Water Crisis
Despite having the fifth largest surface run-off in the world, China is currently faced with a major problem of seasonal and regional water shortages. Though the country is still in the early stages of economic growth, the developmental potential of North China is already being constrained by inadequate water supplies. Tianjin, a municipality with a population of 7.76 million, highlights the problem of and perhaps the solution to the water crisis…

The Growth of China's Population, 1949-1982 (With Special Reference to the Demographic Disaster of 1960-61)
Some of Chinas recently released demographic data are presented and analysed. Comparisons are drawn to show that Chinas current growth rate of population her levels of mortality fertility and life expectancy are all well above the norm for a country at her level of economic development. The product of some 680 million births and 225 million deaths has given China an average growth rate of just under 2 per cent per year over the period 1949-81. Ho…
