En aquest article sobre Noves i velles migracions: dimensions de la integració sociocultural dels immigrants a Lleida (1999), s'analitza de forma concisa aquest fenòmen per identificar les principals característiques diferenciadores dels immigrants de la zona lleidatana. L'article consta de tres apartats. En el primer, la introducció, es resumeixen breument els continguts del treball que donen títol a l'article. El segon apartat tracta sobre la integració dels immigrants i comença per una breu reflexió sobre els canvis d'enfocament a l'hora d'estudiar el fenòmen migratori que ajuda a entendre, per exemple, perquè avui parlem d'integració i no d'assimilació. Posteriorment, s'analitza el model migratori català del qual destaca la inexistència de fractura social malgrat l'elevada arribada d'immigrants a Catalunya, i valora els diferents nivells d'integració assolida en cada onada immigratòria del segle XX. Finalment, es detallen els diferents factors relacionats amb la integració sociocultural (impacte en el creixement demogràfic, sistema educatiu, integració en el mercat laboral i adopció de la llengua catalana) de la població immigrada a la ciutat de Lleida i comarques. El treball conclou que el repte és trobar el model d'integració sociocultural adient per al col•lectiu extracomunitari que integra, majoritàriament, l'onada migratòria iniciada en la dècada dels noranta.

En este artículo nos centramos en la figura del marabout al descubrir su relevancia en la sociedad senegalesa en el transcurso de un proyecto que emprendimos en Senegal para conocer sobre el terreno los distintos aspectos del impacto de la emigración en un país de origen como éste que aporta un alto contingente de inmigrantes a España. La investigación principal analizaba las causas que generan la emigración y los modos en que ésta se realiza y ha concluido con la publicación de un libro, pero al margen de ésta, nos dimos cuenta de que había un personaje, el marabout, cuyas múltiples facetas vertebraban en cierta manera el fenómeno de la migración. Este artículo es el resultado del trabajo empírico que realizamos en Senegal durante el mes de marzo de 2009 y para el que seguimos una perspectiva cualitativa; concretamente, realizamos un trabajo de campo que consistió en acompañar y en observar a distintos marabouts(5) y en entrevistarles tanto a ellos como a otras personas(5 entrevistas más) que podían facilitarnos información sobre las tareas que realizan y la relevancia social que tienen en Senegal. Así, conocimos el sistema de las cofradías religiosas y el poder que ejercen en ellas los marabouts, las dos funciones(curanderos/hechiceros y maestros/ profesores) que realizan dentro de la comunidad y la distinción entre los verdaderos y los falsos marabouts.

The health of older immigrants can have important consequences for needed social support and demands placed on health systems. This paper examines health differences between immigrants and the nativeborn populations aged 50 years and older in 11 European countries. We examine differences in functional ability, disability, disease presence and behavioral risk factors, for immigrants and non-immigrants using data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) database. Among the 11 European countries, migrants generally have worse health than the native population. In these countries, there is a little evidence of the “healthy migrant” at ages 50 years and over. In general, it appears that growing numbers of immigrants may portend more health problems in the population in subsequent years.

L’escolarització de la infància estrangera es fa en programes de canvi de llengua de la llar a l’escola. Per això, el progrés de les criatures estrangeres en el domini de la llengua del centre docent remet a fer possible una pràctica educativa semblant a aquella que permet assolir l’èxit escolar en els programes d’immersió lingüística. L’article discuteix aquesta qüestió a partir d’un estudi empíric i proposa alguns criteris per orientar la pràctica educativa amb aquest alumnat

Des de començaments de la dècada dels noranta del segle XX, les migracions internes han adquirit un protagonisme creixent com a factor clau de la dinàmica territorial, en part afavorides pel dinamisme del mercat de l’habitatge, la descentralització dels llocs de treball i l’impacte de la població estrangera. En aquesta memòria de recerca s’estudien amb profunditat els moviments migratoris interns a Catalunya durant el període 1996-2005 des d’una perspectiva comarcal, encara que també es fa un repàs als models migratoris esdevinguts a Catalunya al llarg del segle XX.

The productive characteristics of migrating individuals, emigrant selection, affect welfare. The empirical estimation of the degree of selection suffers from a lack of complete and nationally representative data. This paper uses a new and better dataset to address both issues: the ENET (Mexican Labor Survey), which identifies emigrants right before they leave and allows a direct comparison to non-migrants. This dataset presents a relevant dichotomy: it shows on average negative selection for Mexican emigrants to the United States for the period 2000-2004 together with positive selection in Mexican emigration out of rural Mexico to the United States in the same period. Three theories that could explain this dichotomy are tested. Whereas higher skill prices in Mexico than in the US are enough to explain negative selection in urban Mexico, its combination with network effects and wealth constraints is required to account for positive selection in rural Mexico.

This paper examines the extent to which Mexican emigrants to the United States are negatively selected, that is, have lower skills than individuals who remain in Mexico. Previous studies have been limited by the lack of nationally representative longitudinal data. This one uses a newly available household survey, which identifies emigrants before they leave and allows a direct comparison to non-migrants. I find that, on average, US bound Mexican emigrants from 2000 to 2004 earn a lower wage and have less schooling years than individuals who remain in Mexico, evidence of negative selection. This supports the original hypothesis of Borjas (AER, 1987) and argues against recent findings, notably those of Chiquiar and Hanson (JPE, 2005). The discrepancy with the latter is primarily due to an under-count of unskilled migrants in US sources and secondarily to the omission of unobservables in their methodology.

The Republic of Haiti is the prime international remittances recipient country in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region relative to its gross domestic product (GDP). The downside of this observation may be that this country is also the first exporter of skilled workers in the world by population size. The present research uses a zero-altered negative binomial (with logit inflation) to model households' international migration decision process, and endogenous regressors' Amemiya Generalized Least Squares method (instrumental variable Tobit, IV-Tobit) to account for selectivity and endogeneity issues in assessing the impact of remittances on labor market outcomes. Results are in line with what has been found so far in this literature in terms of a decline of labor supply in the presence of remittances. However, the impact of international remittances does not seem to be important in determining recipient households' labor participation behavior, particularly for women.

Unilateral migration policies impose externalities on other countries. In order to try to internalize these externalities, countries sign bilateral migration agreements. One element of these agreements is the emphasis on enforcing migration policies: immigrant-receiving countries agree to allow more immigrants from their emigrant-sending partner if they cooperate in enforcing their migration policy at the border. I present a simple theoretical model that justifies this behavior in a two-country setting with welfare maximizing governments. These governments establish migration quotas that need to be enforced at a cost. I prove that uncoordinated migration policies are inefficient. Both countries can improve welfare by exchanging a more "generous" migration quota for expenditure on enforcement policy. Contrary to what could be expected, this result does not depend on the enforcement technology that both countries employ.

La literatura sobre asimilación de los inmigrantes ha destacado la portabilidad imperfecta del capital humano acumulado por éstos en su país de origen (Chiswick, 1978; Friedberg, 2000). Ello explicaría la escasa asimilación en el momento de llegar al nuevo país, así como la gran brecha salarial inicial. Recientemente, una serie de trabajos (Chiswick y Miller, 2007 o Green, Kler y Leeves, 2007, entre otros) han abordado este tema desde la perspectiva de la sobreeducación. Enmarcado en esta literatura, el presente trabajo analiza la portabilidad del capital humano de los inmigrantes al mercado de trabajo español en función de su origen geográfico. Asimismo, trata de contrastar para el caso español las regularidades empíricas más destacables de dichos trabajos. Los resultados obtenidos señalan un distinto grado de transferibilidad del capital humano según origen geográfico, siendo superior la del capital humano acumulado en países de elevado desarrollo o de cultura e idioma próximos y menor la del procedente de países en desarrollo y culturas distantes. La evidencia es relativamente dispar para ambos componentes del capital humano: mientras que ello es especialmente claro para los estudios, resulta menos evidente para la experiencia. Se confirma, asimismo, para el caso español que los inmigrantes padecen una mayor sobreeducación, tanto en incidencia como en intensidad, y que ello implica una mayor penalización salarial relativa, con resultados siempre peores para inmigrantes del segundo grupo de países. A medida que los inmigrantes prolongan su estancia en España existe un proceso de asimilación, excepto para asiáticos y en algunas especificaciones tampoco para los procedentes del África subsahariana, si bien la velocidad de asimilación es notablemente lenta.

This empirical work studies the influence of immigrant students on individuals’ school choice in one of the most populated regions in Spain: Catalonia. It has estimated, following the Poisson model, the probability that a certain school, which immigrant students are already attending, may be chosen by natives as well as by immigrants, respectively. The information provided by the Catalonia School Department presents school characteristics of all the primary and secondary schools in Catalonia during the 2001/02 and 2002/03 school years. The results obtained support the evidence that Catalonia native families avoid schools attended by immigrants. Natives certainly prefer not to interact with immigrants. Private schools are more successful in avoiding immigrants. Finally, the main reason for non-natives’ choice is the presence of other non-natives in the same school.

Este estudio examina cómo influye en un individuo la condición de inmigrante y el hecho de vivir en una zona rural para llegar a ser un emprendedor. Para llevar adelante este estudio, se ha usado un modelo logit ajustado para eventos extraños, utilizando la encuesta del GEM - España para el año 2007. Los resultados indican que un individuo que es inmigrante tiene más probabilidad de convertirse en emprendedor y que una persona que vive en una zona rural también tiene una mayor probabilidad. Sin embargo, dentro del grupo de inmigrantes, la ruralidad no tiene relevancia para explicar su emprendimiento.

There is a widespread consensus in the literature that, as consequence of the demographic transition, the current Spanish pension system will become unsustainable in the next decades. In this article we evaluate the sustainability of the contributory pensions' sub-system, taking into account the demographic projections by the Spanish Statistical Office (INE). A baseline scenario is projected as well as several reforms are simulated, focusing on: (i) selective immigration policy, (ii) changes in the way of setting the pensions and (iii) increase of the legal age of retirement up to 68. The main results are the following. The current system would not incur deficits until 2018, from then deficits will begin to be accumulated. The expenditure in pensions practically would double (from 8.3 % in 2005 to 17.2 % in 2050). A selective immigration policy -towards foreign young people- would help, but does not solve the long-term sustainability of the current system. A policy that combines a pensions' growth at a pace lower than productivity growth and extends the legal age of retirement up to 68 would give solvency to the system beyond 2029

The remarkable increase in trade flows and in migratory flows of highly educated people are two important features of globalization of the last decades. This paper extends a two-country model of inter- and intraindustry trade to a rich environment featuring technological differences, skill differences and the possibility of international labor mobility. The model is used to explain the patterns of trade and migration as countries remove barriers to trade and to labor mobility. We parameterize the model to match the features of the Western and Eastern European members of the EU and analyze first the effects of the trade liberalization which occured between 1989 and 2004, and then the gains and losses from migration which are expected to occur if legal barriers to labor mobility are substantially reduced. The lower barriers to migration would result in significant migration of skilled workers from Eastern European countries. Interestingly, this would not only benefit the migrants and most Western European workers but, via trade, it would also benefit the workers remaining in Eastern Europe.
