Cohort Size and Migration in a West Indian Population.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brittain, Ann W. – International Migration Review, 1990
Data from St. Barthelemy (French West Indies) show that, for people born from 1878 to 1967, neither cohort size nor fluctuations in external demands for labor had a lasting effect on the probability of eventual migration. Emigration slowed only after development of local tourism brought prosperity to the island. (AF)
