“…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).…”

Climate change exacerbates desertification forcing millions of rural people to urbanize, especially in developing countries. Our quantitative analysis across African countries highlights migrants' two typical sequential moves: i) people escape from villages to cities; ii) through cities' enabling settings, some of them emigrate to developed countries. We find that: i) previous lower fresh water availability our climate-related proxyand drops in GDP's agricultural share in Sub-Sahara seem to boost subsequent urbanization: ii) previously heightened urbanization subsequently inflates emigration rates. Thus, policies to combat land impoverishment/desertification would help both the environment and easing the stress that migration casts on societies' balance.

“…When free movement was first being discussed in the 1960s, there were fears that there would be a mass northward exodus of Italian workers into other Common Market countries. In fact almost the reverse occurred: whilst there was a considerable Italian migration to labourhungry Germany, migration to France and Belgium, which had been significant in the 1950s, fell off; meanwhile Italian emigration to non-EEC Switzerland grew to surpass all other destinations (King 1976). Nor did the 1973 accession of the UK, Ireland and Denmark provoke a new wave of immigration (as was fearcd by some conservative politicians in Britain).…”

The relationship between economic restructuring in Europe and various aspects of demographic change, such as demographic aging and fertility decline, is examined. The focus is on changes in the labor market. "Changing employment conditions--the growth of the secondary labour market, the flexibilization of labour demand and increasingly also of supply, growing female labour force participation rates, generally high ethnic minority unemployment--reflect different aspects of the transition from the Fordist to the postFordist regime as well as changing demographic and life-style influences. Together they have deeply transformed the European landscape of employment and unemployment. The specific role of international migration is also analysed and it is seen to have fundamentally altered between the Fordist and postFordist eras. Less clear to interpret are changing internal migration patterns: has counterurbanization stopped in response to restructuring and integration and is a new postFordist population map unfolding? The paper concludes by evaluating the nature of the relationship between economic restructuring and population trends and identifying pointers for future research."

“…But the role of information availability is also very great. For example, European labour migrants drawn from Spain, Portugal and Italy came predominantly from rural areas but those from Turkey and Yugoslavia came from more developed urban areas, which may be a reflection of poorer information flow into the countryside in those countries (King, 1976). In practice, partly because of variations in personal horizons and in the psychological and economic ability to respond to information, migration has less often involved the unemployed peasantry and has been more typical of the semi-urban working classes (Rhoades, 1978).…”

This paper considers three main issues. First, it deals with the underlying structural causes of international migration, especially labour migration, and the way they are liable to create ethnically distinct sub-populations. In achieving this it presents a typology of forms and characteristics of ethnic migration streams. Secondly, and by way of contrast, the case is argued for the need to consider ethnic migration from the behavioural perspective. Thirdly, reasons are described and suggested for the position of relative disadvantage in which many migrant ethnic minorities find themselves placed.
