title: Commitment, ethnicity and class as factors in emigration of kibbutz and non kibbutz populations from Israel.
abstract: The author examines the motivating factors involved in the migration from Israel of kibbutz and non-kibbutz populations.  "The burden of the research done until now suggests that an individual's level of commitment is a major predictor of the predisposition to emigrate.  This research will be surveyed, reanalyzed in part, with new emphasis on ethnicity and class, and compared with new research on emigration from the kibbutzim which should provide unique insights into the connection between commitment and departure." Data are from two surveys, a 1986 survey of the general population and one of four kibbutzim in 1985.
