“…She draws four noteworthy conclusions: (1) the more distant the move, the higher is the probability of a repeat move, presumably because information is less reliable at a distance and (2) when unemployment motivates the initial move, return moves are more likely, presumably because financial pressures tend to impair the effectiveness of job search. This finding is similar to that of Herzog and Schlottmann (1982), which was obtained using 1970 Census PUMS data.…”

INTRODUCTION Since the publication 10 years ago of my previous survey of the literature on internal migration, a number of important advances have occurred in migration research.' Although the prior survey serves as a point of departure for this paper, earlier contributions are not completely ignored. Space limitations prevent a detailed discussion of many important advances concerning internal migration in less developed countries, as well as those dealing with international migration.2 During the last 15 years fundamental changes have occurred in US. internal migration patterns. These changes have been recognized for approximately the last 10 years and have given rise to an important, until now primarily descriptive, body of literature that warrants attention. In general, migration research has maintained its strong orientation toward the determinants as opposed to the consequences of migration, and consequently most of the recent advances have concerned the causes of migration. During this period several noteworthy theoretical contributions have been made involving both new independent and new dependent variables. New modeling perspectives have been adopted, and alternative functional forms of migration equations have been considered. Moreover, a number of significant new empirical insights have developed. Certain of these findings have been closely related to theoretical innovations, but many awaited the development of new data sets. Two types of data particularly stand out-microdata relating to migration and migration time series. These types of data have also allowed the application of several refinements in econometric methodology to migration research.The paper begins with a discussion of the changes that have occurred during the recent past in U.S. internal migration patterns. These changes have provided a stimulus to a certain line of research. In addition to this discussion, Section 2 presents an assessment of the state of knowledge concerning these phenomena. Section 3 provides a more abstract discussion of the determinants of migration, including a treatment of both recent theoretical and empirical literature. The

“…Backward migration appears to be negatively related to TENURE.8 Furthermore, the likelihood of all non-return repeat migration decisions was not influenced by the absence of prior moves (CONTIN). 9 As can be seen in Table I, the average distance of the initial move was approximately the same for returners, onward movers, and stayers whereas backward movers travelled almost twice the distance relative to all other migrant groups. According to our information, the choice of the location for the 1969-70 move placed backward movers and onward movers on average 406 and 914 miles, respectively, away from their 1968 region.…”

“…This second effect of the Di variable is controlled for by partitioning inter-state migration data into those who move closer to the place of birth during the 1965-70 move ("backward moves") and those who move farther away from the birth state (a move "on"). The partitioning was accomplished by use of the formula D' = IH -JH, where IH is the distance from the birth state (H) to the origin state (I, 1965) and JH is the distance from the birth state to the destination state J in 1970 [9]. A backward move is defined for cases in which D'.…”

“…Por otra parte, la literatura sobre migraciones ha señalado que los proyectos migratorios, lejos de responder a un patrón único, presentan una gran diversidad (Herzog y Schlottmann 1982;DaVanzo 1983;Cassarino 2004;Takenaka 2007;Basu 2012). Mientras que la literatura neoclásica consideraba las migraciones como proyectos permanentes, cuya interrupción era fruto del fracaso (Todaro 1969), otros autores, tanto desde la óptica de la Nueva Economía de las Migraciones Laborales como desde la perspectiva transnacionalista, advierten de la pluralidad de los proyectos migratorios (Stark y Bloom 1985;Taylor 1996;Ali y Koser 2002).…”

ResumenEste artículo aborda el análisis de la integración laboral de los inmigrantes sucesivos, aquellos que antes de llegar a España habían vivido en un país diferente al de su origen y que por lo tanto poseen una experiencia migrato-ria previa. En concreto, se estudia si este colectivo experi-menta una integración laboral más exitosa en términos de cualificación ocupacional que los inmigrantes que residen en otro país por primera vez. Para abordar estas cues-tiones se han utilizado los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Inmigrantes de 2007. Los resultados muestran que los inmigrantes sucesivos tienen un mayor éxito en compara-ción con el resto de trabajadores procedentes del extran-jero. El rendimiento de la experiencia migratoria es mayor para los inmigrantes nacidos en países no desarrollados, especialmente si son mujeres y han residido en un país desarrollado. Además, la experiencia migratoria permite obtener un mayor rendimiento ocupacional a las trayecto-rias laborales cualificadas.

AbstractThis article studies the labour integration of onward im-migrants, those who have lived in a country other than their birth country before arriving to Spain and there-fore have a previous migration experience. Specifically, it analyzes whether this group experiences more suc-cess in its labor market integration in terms of occupa-tional attainment than immigrants who reside in a differ-ent country for the first time. To do this, data from the National Immigrant Survey 2007 are used. The results show that onward immigrants have a better occupation-al achievement when compared to other workers born abroad. The role played by the migration experience is greater for immigrants born in underdeveloped coun-tries, especially if they are women and have resided in a developed country. In addition, the migration experi-ence can mean greater performance to qualified occu-pational career paths.
