Abstract
In contrast to other sources of population change, international migration has
certain features which make it unique in policy terms; policies dealing with the
flow or stock of migrants require policy decisions by at least two governments.
Attempts by any one government to influence its own nationals to emigrate or to
attract immigrants will be constrained by national and international legal
obligations, as well as by the policies and national interest of other governments.
International migration flows, being more responsive than either fertility or
mortality to short-run changes in the socio-economic environment, affect the
growth and structure of the labor force more immediately (Scrageldin, 1983:
217}.
