Economic Determinants of Net International Migration in Western Europe

This paper aims to estimate theinfluence of economic determinants on netinternational migration in Western Europe inthe period 1960–1998. Net migration rates(i.e., population growth minus natural increase,divided by the midyear population) constitutethe dependent variable. The economicdeterminants used in this study are GDP percapita, unemployment, and average educationallevel (amount of human capital) of thepopulation. Time series regression models havebeen used in country-specific analyses. Inaddition, a pooled cross-sectional time seriesanalysis has been made. The analyses suggestthat GDP per capita has a positive effect andunemployment a negative effect on a country'snet international migration.

State‐led transnationalism and migration: reaching out to the Argentine community in Spain

Abstract This article focuses on when and how states develop transnational policies. It presents a case study of a relatively small emigrant community, whose departure was not simply caused by poverty or crisis, but most recently by an economic and political debacle that questioned people's values and expectations. I focus on the state side of the equation and identify a shift in Argentina's policy after 2003, though also show how such policies came out of a long history of state intervention in population and migration and are now related to human rights concerns and the unfinished process of democratic consolidation. I argue that the state initiates political transnationalism, not migrants, and highlight the importance of some relatively unexplored factors in the understanding of the motivation, intensity and impact of the state's involvement, such as the characteristics of the emigrant community, the existence of specific political projects, the role of some domestic actors and processes, and the nature of international agreements.     

The status of women among the scheduled tribes in India

The scheduled tribes constitute about 8.2% of the total population in India. Although there is a large volume of anthropological literature describing the characteristics of and differences among the various tribes in India, little inter-disciplinary research has been done to uncover the status of women among the tribal population in India. This paper will analyze the status of women among the scheduled tribes in India. Frequent comparisons will be made to the social and cultural practices of the scheduled tribes, mainstream Hindus, as well as the scheduled caste population. Through this analysis, we will show the distinctiveness of the tribal cultures and the fact that many women from the scheduled tribes face less discrimination than Hindu women and those from scheduled castes.     

If you look like me,I'll talk to you: a preliminary study of ethnic identity and inter‐ethnic interaction among women in Singapore

In Singapore, government policy is for equal but separate development of the four major ethnic groups—Chinese, Malay, Indian and other. In this study, I attempt to gain some preliminary views of how strongly women identify with their own ethnic group and how freely they are prepared to interact with people from other ethnic groups in non‐work‐related situations. I confine my study to females for two reasons. One is that traditional ethnic dress is common among females in Singapore but much rarer among men, and this makes a strong non‐verbal statement of identity. The second reason is to avoid differences between males and females, which I did not wish to pursue within the limits of this exploratory study. The findings of my pilot investigation indicate that intra‐ethnic spontaneous interaction is more likely to occur among women who display a strong national identity. Moreover, younger women, who were exposed during their school years to the government's recent drive to nurture ethnic and cultural differences, are less open to inter‐ethnic interaction than are women in their 30s and older, who grew up when the government drive was towards creating one common national identity for the people of Singapore.     

出走堕落的娜拉——《沉香屑·第一炉香》与《日出》比较

张爱玲的《沉香屑.第一炉香》和曹禺的《日出》,都给我们讲述了一个女性出走后堕落的故事,但是这两个故事恰好前后承接,互为文本,演绎了女性出走后,因经济原因受诱惑而堕落,在堕落中必然走向死亡的全过程,由此传达了两位作者对女性问题的不同思考。     

论对妇女就业机会歧视的法律规制

国际移民学研究:范畴、框架及意义

国际移民学探索的直接目标,是在合理解读移民行为的基础上,推动移民政策的合法制定,进而达到移民个人或群体在大社会中的和谐生存与发展。国际移民学探求的最终目标,是全球资源的合理有效共享,全球人的和平共处,共赢共荣;其最基本问题则可以归结为:何时、何人、为何、如何跨国迁移?跨国迁移对迁移者个人、家庭及相关群体、地区、国家乃至整个世界可能产生什么影响?国际移民学涉及的范围相当广泛,需要建立一个跨学科的、综合性的分析框架。     

出走与反抗:叛逆女性之路--娜拉与娜嘉形象之比较

对挪威戏剧家易卜生笔下的娜拉与俄国小说家契诃夫笔下的娜嘉这两个文学形象进行了分析比较。娜拉和娜嘉同是为了跟不幸的命运抗争,做出了离家出走的抉择,她们的出走表现了觉醒女性的反叛和坚强,但也有着不同的意义,娜拉的出走是绝望地逃离,而娜嘉的出走,则充分展示了知识女性的理智与自信,娜嘉比娜拉走得更远更清醒。
