Return Versus Onward Migration: Go Back or Move on?

Characterization of Primary, Return, and Onward Interprovincial Migration in Canada: Overall and Age-Specifie Patterns

The increasing availability of microdata (the unit of observation being either a person or a household) over the last two decades is a promising development for obtaining better insight into the migration process. Such data typically contain information on personal attributes and are relatively flexible for defining theoretically more meaningful migration variables. Two types of such data are n...

Return Migration as Failure or Success?

Different migration theories generate competing hypotheses with regard to determinants of return migration. While neoclassical migration theory associates migration to the failure to integrate at the destination, the new economics of labour migration sees return migration as the logical stage after migrants have earned sufficient assets and knowledge and to invest in their origin countries.

Nutrition and migration: people on the move.

Following the success of the first workshop at Edinburgh the chairwomen had proposed an informal workshop on the important topic of nutrition and migration. One objective was to raise and discuss issues of concern to nutritionists who work with people facing acute food shortages. The other was to consider how best to determine the extent of, and appropriate response to, such crises. About fifty...

The genetics of migration on the move.

Across a range of organisms, related species or even populations of the same species exhibit strikingly different scales and patterns of movement. A significant proportion of the phenotypic variance in migratory traits is genetic, but the genes involved in shaping these phenotypes are still unknown. Although recent achievements in genomics will evolve migratory genetics research from a phenotyp...
