Publisher's Synopsis
This volume examines migration patterns and their implications for population policy and structure, presented in the broad context of population and development in more and less developed societies. The essays explore internal migration patterns in industrialized nations, social and geographic mobility, circulation migration and environmental trauma, assimilation of internal migrants, and international migration and population redistribution policies. Implications of both internal and international migration patterns for the overall structure of populations are explored in analyses of the demographic development of Soviet nationalities, community responses to deindustrialization in the United States, and population ageing in Japan.
