title: Job transfers:  a neglected aspect of migration in Malaysia.
abstract: "This article examines the incidence of [job-related] transfers in Malaysia.  The retrospective migration data from the Malaysia Family Life Survey [conducted in 1976-1977] are used to demonstrate that transfers comprise 18 percent of all migration in the country and that there has been a rise in the incidence of transfers over a 35 year period.  Factors underlying this trend are outlined.  Furthermore, significant differences in age, educational attainment and other characteristics between transferees and other types of migrants are identified and their implications discussed."
