[Migratory strategies in the overpopulated Nile Delta region].
The author describes cyclical migration from the densely populated Nile Delta region of Egypt during the 1970s.  The trend toward this type of migration emerged as a strategy for coping with a lack of local resources without having to permanently migrate to an urban environment. She concludes that "while emigration [to] the Gulf countries helped greatly in this process...cyclical migration towards the towns brought about a longer-term strategy.  It furthered the survival of most agricultural developments and encouraged the expansion of a more and more urbanised social strata."  (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
