Migration and Occupational Changes during Periods of Economic Transition
This paper examines the impact of internal migration on gender differences in occupational mobility after the introduction of economic reform ( Doi Moi) in Vietnam. Data derived from a survey conducted in 1997 in six provinces of Vietnam provide the basis for comparing the experience of permanent migrants, temporary migrants, and non-migrants. The results show that migration reduces gender differences in occupational distribution by increasing wo…

Internal Migration and Development in Vietnam
This article is a step toward understanding the nature of the interrelationship between population movement and development as Vietnam continues to move toward intensive market reforms. Underutilized tabulations from the 1989 census and national statistical data on characteristics of provinces were explored to gain insights into the roles of development in interprovincial migration within a context of institutional intervention. The overall resul…
Jews on the Move
Based on data from the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey the authors examine the high level of mobility among American Jews and their increasing dispersion throughout the United States and how this presents new challenges to the national Jewish community. (EXCERPT)
Migration, fertility, and state policy in Hubei Province, China
Despite China s one-child family planning policy, the nation experienced a slight rise in the birth rate in the mid-1980s. Many observers attributed this rise to the heightened fertility of those rural-to-urban migrants who moved without a change in registration (temporary migrants), presumably to avoid the surveillance of family planning programs at origin and destination. Using a sequential logit analysis with life-history data from a 1988 surv…
The Relation of Migration to Changing Household Headship Patterns in China, 1982-1987
Theories of family development posited by Goode suggest that increased economic opportunities and more efficient agricultural production which leads to very high levels of migration in China increases the number of nuclear families. However examination of headship rates in China during 1982-87 suggests a process of family fusion. Fertility and the household size declined and the number of adults in the household increased from 2.9 in 1982 to 3.0 …
Changes in Jewish mortality and survival, 1963-1987
From information on mortality of Jews obtained from individual death certificates and population data from surveys of the Jewish population undertaken in 1963 and 1987, age specific death rates and life expectancy of the Jewish population of Rhode Island are compared with those of the total white population for 1963 and 1987 to assess changing differentials. The Jewish mortality experience continues to differ from that of the larger population ev…

Permanent and Temporary Migration Differentials in China
Urban development and migration policies in China have greatly limited permanent migration to cities especially to bigger ones. In recent years however largely as a result of economic reforms temporary migration has become a major mechanism of population exchange. Data from the 1986 Survey of Migration in 74 Cities and Towns of China sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Social Science provide a unique opportunity to evaluate the volume and directi…
Rural Industrialization and Migration in the People’s Republic of China
The modernization/development process, both historically in Europe and in developing nations of the twentieth century, has involved the transformation of the labor force from one primarily engaged in agricultural pursuits to one largely involved in secondary- and tertiary-sector activities. This change has often been brought about in stages, beginning with the introduction of nonagricultural work in rural areas—proto-industrialization—as a supple…
Rural Industrialization and Migration in the People's Republic of China
Temporary Migrants in Shanghai Households, 1984
In China, temporary migration is defined as a change in place of residence without a concomitant change in household registration; such mobility therefore encompasses a more heterogeneous set of movements than is usually subsumed under this heading in other nations. Because of China’s strict control of permanent migration to large cities, temporary migration has become an important strategy for adjusting to economic changes and to effecting famil…
Population Movement in Zhejiang Province, China
China's urbanization policies include strict control of permanent migration to large cities, but encourage the growth of small cities and towns. Concurrently, temporary migration is widely permitted as a way to stimulate commerce. Data for Zhejiang province indicate that permanent mobility is largely directed toward urban places, that towns gain more than cities and that rural areas experience migration losses. Permanent migrants to urban places …

Urbanization in China, 1982-87
This report explains that while official figures indicate that between 1982-1987 Chinas urban more than doubled these facts are somewhat misleading considering that it is not migration but the reclassification of what constitutes urban that is primarily responsible for the massive growth of in the number urban dwellers. Since the revolution China has viewed large cities as detrimental to the social environmental and economic well-being of the fav…

Interrelations between migration and fertility in Thailand
Based on special tabulations of 1960 census data on migration within Thailand, this analysis attempts to assess the role of migration in the urbanization process and the relation between migration and fertility. The importance of migration to urban growth is evidenced by the clearcut positive relationship between the percentage of persons classified as either lifetime or 5-year migrants and the urban character of their 1960 place of residence. Ye…

Repeated Migration as a Factor in High Mobility Rates
THE United States has been characterized as a land of migrants. The 1950 census found 5.6 per cent of the population living in 1950 in a county different from that in which they were living in the previous year.1 In a sample survey which the Bureau of the Census made in 1947, it was found that 21 per cent of the population was living in a county different from that in which they had been living in 1940.2 While these data lend statistical support …
Facets of redistribution
Within the past few years the world has passed 3 demographic milestones: 1) total world population passed the 4 billion mark after reaching 3 billion 15 years earlier and will probably reach 5 billion within 13 years; 2) most of the worlds cities and most of the worlds urban population now are in less developed countries; and 3) in more developed countries the smaller cities and rural areas are showing faster growth than cities and adjoining subu…

Socioeconomic Differentials Among Religious Groups in the United States
The availability of hitherto withheld tabulations from the 1957 Current Population Survey, in which a question on religion was asked, provides a unique opportunity to examine a nationwide sample of the U.S. population for the relation between religion and socioeconomic status, as measured by education, occupation, and income. Over-all, without controls, the data show significant differences among the religious groups with respect to socioeconomic…

The influence of labour force participation and education on fertility in Thailand
Increasingly, discussion of the appropriateness and effectiveness of methods to limit population growth have focussed both on measures which seek to provide new and efficient contraceptives to an ever larger target population and on those measures which go beyond family planning to emphasize the need for adoption of policies 'expressly related to family roles and opportunities for legitimate alternative satisfactions and activities'.(1) Proponent…
City Directories as Sources of Migration Data
The city directories of Norristown, Pennsylvania, were analyzed to determine their usefulness for the study of migration and occupational mobility. Tests showed that they provided a complete enumeration of the city's population and its occupational composition. Death certificates identify persons who disappeared from directory listings through death, and birth certificates and school records identify those who first appeared in the listings upon …
Population Movement, Labor Force Absorption, and Urbanization in China
Concern in China with problems of rural-urban population distribution, rates of urban growth, and relations between employment opportunities and rural and urban development have resulted in a firmly articulated policy regarding population movement. Permanent movement from rural to urban places and from smaller to larger urban places is strictly controlled. Yet the pressures of a large surplus labor force and the introduction of the new economic r…
The impact of migration on fertility
Reflecting a growing concern with high rates of urban growth in less developed countries, increasing attention focuses on the fertility of migrants to such places. The present study explores the relations between fertility, migration, and urbanization, using ‘own children’ data from the 1970 Census of Thailand. Information on ‘own children’ less than one year old is used to approximate fertility levels in the year before the census, and that on ‘…
Urbanization in Thailand, 1947–1967
Utilizing both census and population register data for the period 1947–1967, this analysis assesses changing levels and rates of urbanization in Thailand, compares regional variations in urbanization patterns, and relates such differences to selected indicators of economic and demographic development. Although the overall level of urbanization remains low, the rate of urbanization is high and the increase in the number of moderate sized urban pla…
Migration and the Journey to Work
Special census tabulations obtained for Rhode Island permit analysis of the interrelation between residence, commuting, and migration. Although the central cities provide job opportunities for persons living well beyond their boundaries, most people in the suburbs and the outlying areas live fairly close to their place of work. Moreover, within the respective zones, purely local migration takes place independent of changes in job location. For th…

Religious fertility differentials in Thailand, 1960
Although the evidence supporting high fertility in Thailand is clear-cut, little is known about fertility differentials within the population. As part of a larger investigation, a special 1 % tabulation of the 1960 Thai census data on number of children ever-born to married women has been analysed to determine the extent of differentials by religion and urban-rural status. The findings point to considerable differentials among Buddhists, Moslems,…

Migration
AMONG the outstanding results of the accelerated industrialization and urbanization which characterized the United States over the last century have been the changes in the structure of the American population. The lower birth and death rates and the consequences of the varying patterns of immigration to the United States are familiar to most students of American history. While births, deaths, and international migration have changed the size and…

Migration and Occupational Mobility in Norristown, Pennsylvania
NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania, a mediumsized city twenty miles northwest of Philadelphia, is currently the focus of an intensive study of the changing size, composition, and demographic behavior of its population. This is a report on one phase of this overall study-an attempt to utilize local data to determine the changing patterns of occupational mobility among the male members of the Norristown labor force over the last forty years and to determine …
Patterns of Business Growth and Survival in a Medium-Sized Community
Since 1951 the population, social structure, and economy of Norristown, Pennsylvania, have been the focus of study of an interdisciplinary research seminar at the University of Pennsylvania. Under the over-all theme of technological change and social adjustment, a variety of investigations have been conducted to discover the ways in which the processes of industrialization and urbanization in the twentieth century have operated dynamically to bri…

Some Economic Consequences of Suburbanization in the Copenhagen Metropolitan Area
Data from the Danish population registers are analyzed to ascertain the role of migration in changing the distribution of population and income within the Copenhagen Metropolitan Area. The net effects of migration clearly account for the large growth of the suburbs and the actual population decline of the central city. Yet the existence of large, but selective, countermovements means that the over-all impact of migration is much greater than some…
Devolution of an Empirical Generalization
Population Decline and the Social and Demographic Structure of an American City
Previous research has shown that during 1940-1950 some disassociation occurred between socio-economic status and other demographic variables in a number of American cities. Since the population of Providence, RI., declined at a faster pace during 1950-1960 than during 1940-1950, it was hypothesized that the disassociation would continue even more sharply. Using the 36 census tracts of Providence, a series of demographic and housing variables were…
