International migration has long been a topic of debate. In the
West, questions concerning its causes and consequences have always
influenced policy. As a result, much has been written on the
historical role of immigration although this has largely focused on
social rather than economic history. "Migration and the
International Labour Market 1850-1939" redresses this imbalance and
puts the emphasis firmly on economic issues. This volume
concentrates on the two central aspects of international migration
- the forces which cause it and its economic effect. While the
stress is placed firmly on examining the economic forces in
migration with quantitative evidence. The contributors are drawn
from a wide range of countries representing both the Old and the
New Worlds. Each of them examines and tests the validity of
migration theories in the historical setting. In some cases
migration is viewed from a comparative perspective - an approach
which is facilitated by new data on internationally comparable real
wages. The authors also look at the responsiveness of migration
from different countries to international wage differentials and
the degree of international labour market integration.
