SOPEMI Trends in International Migration Continuous Reporting System on Migration ANNUAL REPORT 2001 EDITION ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Part III RECENT CHANGES IN MIGRATION MOVEMENTS AND POLICIES (COUNTRY NOTES) This Section is comprised of detailed notes on the trends in migration flows and policies in each of the countries studied. The characteristics of each country are presented as follows: 1. Trends in migration movements. 2. Structure and changes in the foreign population. 3. Migration and the labour market. 4. Policy developments. Australia AUSTRALIA Introduction Australia’s economic growth averaged over 4% during the second half of the 1990s. Although the rate of growth has been decelerating since 1998, with a pronounced slowdown taking place in the second half of 2000, unemployment has continued to decline; at the end of 2000 it was just over 6.5%. Against a background of con- tinued structural improvement in productivity performance, employment growth is likely to remain robust. The policy initiatives implemented in 1999-2000 have been motivated by four key aims: to improve the alignment between the needs of Australia’s economy and the entry requirements imposed on immigrants; to ensure that the Australian public continues to have confidence in the way that border controls are managed; to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the country’s humanitarian programme; and, to develop socially and culturally appropriate settlement policies in such a way as to enhance the multicultural nature of Austra- lian society. 1. Trends in migration movements Inflows and outflows of foreign-born persons Permanent and long-term migration Net migration during 1999/2000 was estimated at 107 300: both permanent entries and definitive depar- tures rose by 10 and 17% respectively, to 92 300 and 41 100 respectively; the latter being the highest recorded in the series since 1973/1974. Long-term entries (12 months or more) rose by 13% to 212 900 and long-term departures rose by 12% to 156 800. 119 © OECD 2001 Trends in International Migration As in the previous year and reflecting the relative economic conditions in the two countries, the increase in the number of permanent entries was mainly due to the increase in the number of permanent entries from New Zealand; in 1999/2000 the rate of increase did decelerate however, from 27 to 17%. Permanent departures, though much lower than entries, have been following a rising trend; the proportion of Australian residents among these departures, having risen over the previous few years was unchanged at 51% in 1999/2000. In 1999/2000, net long-term movements (12 months or more) totalled 56 100, a rise of 18% on the previous year (see Chart III.1). (A period of strong economic growth in Australia is generally accompanied by a rise in the number of long-term entries.) In 1999/2000 ten countries (the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, China, India and Korea) each accounted for between 3 and 18% of long-term entrants. For the fourth consecutive year, United Kingdom nationals formed the largest group, with nearly 23 400 entries. Chart III.1.

Just under 6 300 Business Skills visas were granted under the Business Skills Migration Programme, the aim of which is to attract managers, entrepreneurs and investors and to provide assistance for business people who have started up companies in Australia. The criteria for issuing visas to business people were revised in 1998 and 1999 and management of the system was transferred to the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs in November 1999. This has made it possible to envisage ways of adjusting policies to improve results. Temporary migration Under Australia’s Temporary Resident Programme (which excludes students), the number of visas granted both offshore and on-shore rose from 136 200 in 1998/99 to 148 600 in 1999/2000, an increase of 9.1% (see Table III.1). Some 74 500 visas were issued under the Working Holiday Maker Programme in 1999/2000, a rise of 15% on the previous year and thus a continuation of the strong upward trend observed over recent years; a more moderate increase is expected in 2000/2001. Of these, 71 500 were issued off-shore. Germany joined the scheme in July 2000; this brought the number of countries with which Australia has arrangements to eight (the others are the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, Ireland, Netherlands, Korea and Malta).

Having fallen by 1% in 1998/1999, the number of Temporary Business Entry Long-Stay visas rose by 5% in 1999/2000 to slightly under 35 000 (including dependants). One quarter were IT workers. A total of 236 100 Business Visitor visas were issued in 1999/2000, an increase of 12% on the previous year; almost 55 000 of these were issued to United States citi- zens, 36 100 to Chinese nationals, over 19 000 to United Kingdom nationals and 17 300 to citizens of Japan. The number of visas issued to students off-shore rose by almost 11% in 1999/2000 to just over 74 400. As in previous years, the principal source countries were, in descending order of importance, the United States, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong (China), Singapore, Japan, India, Thailand and Korea. Visitors Some 3.3 million visitor visas were granted in 1999/2000, 7% more than in 1998/99. The most significant above- general-trend increase was that of Koreans, the number of whom rose by some 68% to 131 300, having declined from 217 000 in 1996/97 to 78 200 in 1998/99 as a result, it can reasonably be assumed of the effects of the financial crisis.

    Identifying Rates of Emigration in the United States Using Administrative Earnings Records

    Working Paper Series Congressional Budget Office Washington, D.C. IDENTIFYING RATES OF EMIGRATION IN THE UNITED STATES USING ADMINISTRATIVE EARNINGS RECORDS Jonathan A. Schwabish (E-mail: [email protected]) Congressional Budget Office Washington, D.C. March 2009 2009-01 Working papers in this series are preliminary and are circulated to stimulate discussion and critical comment. These papers are not subject to CBO’s formal review and editing processes. The analysis and conclusions expressed in them are those of the author and should not be interpreted as those of the Congressional Budget Office.

The author wishes to thank Paul Cullinan, Thomas DeLeire, Robert Dennis, Harriet Orcutt Duleep, Joyce Manchester, Marie Mora, Jeffrey Passel, Pia Orrenius, and researchers at the Pew Research Center for comments and suggestions. Abstract Sound assessment of the impact of immigration on the economy and public policies requires accurate measurement of both inflows and outflows of migrants. This paper undertakes a new strategy to estimate emigration rates among U.S. immigrants by inferring the probability of emigration using longitudinal administrative earnings data from 1978 through 2003. Two groups of emigrants are evaluated separately: those who emigrate from the United States and those who leave both the United States and the Social Security system. The method used here finds that between 1.0 percent and 1.5 percent of the foreign-born working population emigrates every year, consistent with previous estimates. These estimates suggest that the number of foreign-born workers who emigrate each year doubled between the late 1970s and late 1990s, rising from about 200,000 to 400,000.

    TEMPORARY MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES NONIMMIGRANT ADMISSIONS UNDER U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW Temporary Migration to the United States: Nonimmigrant Admissions Under U.S. Immigration Law U.S. Immigration Report Series, Volume 2 About this Edition This document discusses nonimmigrants and the laws and regulations concerning their admission to the United States. The purpose of this report is to describe the various nonimmigrant categories and discuss the policy concerns surrounding these categories. Topics covered include: adjustment of status, temporary workers, work authorization, and visa overstays. The United States welcomes visitors to our country for a variety of purposes, such as tourism, education, cultural exchange, and temporary work. Admittance to the United States as a nonimmigrant is intended to be for temporary visits only. However, some nonimmigrants are permitted to change to a different nonimmigrant status or, in some cases, to permanent resident status. This report provides an overview of the reasons for visiting the United States on a temporary basis and the nexus between temporary visitor and permanent resident.

Enchautegui and Wendy Zimmermann May 1994 THE URBAN INSTITUTE • WASHINGTON, D.C. i THE URBAN INSTITUTE is a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy research organization established in Washington, D.C., in 1968. Its staff investigates the social and economic problems confronting the nation and assesses public and private means to alleviate them. The Institute seeks to sharpen thinking about society’s problems and efforts to solve them, improve government decisions and performance, and increase citizen awareness about important public choices. Through work that ranges from broad conceptual studies to administrative and technical assistance, Institute researchers contribute to the stock of knowledge available to guide decisionmaking in the public interest. In recent years this mission has expanded to include the analysis of social and economic problems and policies in developing coun- tries and in the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe. Immigrant Policy Program The Urban Institute’s Immigrant Policy Program was created in 1992 with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The overall goal of the program is to research, design, and promote policies that integrate newcomers into the United States. To that end, the program seeks to: 1) Develop systematic knowledge on immigrants’ economic mobility and social integration, and the public policies that influence them; 2) Disseminate knowledge broadly to government agencies, non- profit organizations, scholars, and the media; and 3) Advise policymakers on the merits of current and proposed policies. Program for Research on Immigration Policy The Program for Research on Immigration Policy was established in 1988 with ini- tial core support from The Ford Foundation.

    Cultural and Institutional Barriers in Migration Between OECD Countries

    Cultural and institutional barriers in migration between OECD countries Michèle Belot1 Department of Economics University of Essex Sjef Ederveen2 CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis One of the basic principles of the European Union and the European Economic Area is the freedom of movement of workers. In practice, migration between EU countries is extremely low. One attractive explanation for the low mobility pattern in Europe is the existence of cultural and institutional barriers to migration. Even if in principle workers are free to move, they are in practice confronted with a series of obstacles hampering their movement. Linguistic and cultural differences, housing transaction costs and a lack of portability of pension rights across countries are all potential obstacles to migration. Our study uses a unique set of new indicators enabling us to test the effects of cultural and institutional barriers on migration between OECD countries. We use data for 22 OECD countries, covering the period 1990-2003. Our results provide strong evidence for the negative effect of cultural differences and institutional obstacles on migration flows between countries.

    TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History- Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka This dissertation explores how the Atlantic slave trade integrated the Cape Verde archipelago into the cultural, economic, and political milieu of Upper Guinea Coast between 1500 and 1879. The archipelago is about 300 miles off the coast of Senegal, West Africa. The Portuguese colonized the “uninhabited” archipelago in 1460 and soon began trading with the mainland for slaves and black African slaves became the majority, resulting in the first racialized Atlantic slave society. Despite cultural changes, I argue that cultural practices by the lower classes, both slaves and freed slaves, were quintessentially “Guinean.” Regional fashion and dress developed between the archipelago and mainland with adorning and social use of panu (cotton cloth). In particular, I argue Afro-feminine aesthetics developed in the islands by freed black women that had counterparts in the mainland, rather than mere creolization. Moreover, the study explores the social instability in the islands that led to the exile of liberated slaves, slaves, and the poor, the majority of whom were of African descent as part of the Portuguese efforts to organize the Atlantic slave trade in the Upper th Guinea Coast. With the abolition of slavery in Cape Verde in the 19 century, Portugal used freed slaves and the poor as foot soldiers and a labor force to consolidate “Portuguese Guinea.” Many freed slaves resisted this mandatory service.

    Cavite Chabacano Philippine Creole Spanish: Description and Typology

    Cavite Chabacano Philippine Creole Spanish: Description and Typology By Marilola Pérez A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Associate Professor Lev D. Michael, Chair Associate Professor Richard A. Rhodes Professor William F. Hanks Fall 2015 Abstract Cavite Chabacano Philippine Creole Spanish: Description and Typology by Marilola Pérez Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Associate Professor Lev D. Michael This dissertation provides a grammatical description and sociohistorical account of the Cavite variety of Philippine Creole Spanish (PCS), also known as Cavite Chabacano (CC); and analyzes how this language informs standard typological characterizations of contact languages. CC is one of three surviving varieties of Chabacano, a Spanish-lexified contact language of the Philippines. The unique status of Chabacano as the only Spanish-lexified creole in Asia presents a number of typological challenges to standard views of colonial contact languages based on prototypical plantation creoles. Most work on Chabacano assumes that it is a creole language, and only a few recent works on the Zamboanga variety of Chabacano have questioned this classification. The current work reexamines the status of Chabacano as a creole language by providing linguistic data from an understudied Chabacano variety and examining it from a typological perspective. On the descriptive front, the dissertation provides a sketch grammar that constitutes the most complete description of the language to this date. The linguistic description is supplemented with a sociohistorical reconstruction that proposes different stages in the development of CC: an initial period of koineization, a period of hispanization or ‘decreolization’, and a latter period in which more Tagalog forms were incorporated from the adstrate.
