Determinants and consequences of internal and international migration

Abstract

This paper analyzes the current migration in rural population in the south of Veracruz state (Mexico). We identify three different spaces of migration, traditional markets, the northern border and the United States. Applying a three-level multinomial logistic model and taking into account individual, family, and local characteristics of the migrants, we find different determinants in each space. These determinants are related to the objectives, needs and means of the migrants and their families. Otherwise, each space involves different consequences to the family in terms of the relationships between migrants and the rest of their relatives.

Albania on the Move : Links between Internal and International Migration

“…This process may develop over time, which causes the migration to change direction. Consequently, migrants may 'leapfrog' provincial towns and migrate directly to capital cities or to large border towns and export-oriented zones, as with Indonesian migration to Singapore and Malaysia (Lyons & Ford 2007) or with Mexican migration 42 to the US (Cornelius & Martin 1993;Del Rey Poveda 2007;LozanoAscencio et al 1999;Zabin & Hughes 1995). A similar example is migration from rural Thailand to urban Singapore and Japan in the 1990s.…”

Economic Swings, Political Instability and Migration in Kyrgyzstan

“…Such interconnections may be particularly pronounced in the post-Soviet space, where international borders are historically recent and movements across these borders exhibit clear continuities with what once was domestic mobility (Di Bartolomeo et al 2014;Schuler 2007). Yet, at the same time, as evidence from various parts of the world suggests, drivers of internal and international migration may differ across specific settings (e.g., Bohra and Massey 2009;De Jong et al, 1983;del Rey Poveda 2007;Mberu and Pongou 2021).…”

Urbanization and International Migration From Africa

“…Possibly the city targeted by the internal migration is itself a point of departure for international migration. This type of internal-to-international stepwise migration is testified in the literature, e.g., for Turkey (King, 1976), Thailand (Skeldon, 2006) and Mexico (Cornelius, 1992;del Rey Poveda, 2007;Lozano-Ascencio et al, 1999;Zabin & Hughes, 1995).…”
