title: From settlers to skilled transients:  the changing structure of British international migration.
abstract: "This paper examines trends in British emigration using the results of the International Passenger Survey.  Settlement emigration has declined in importance while in the early 1980s temporary skilled labour transfers have become dominant.  Two parallel mechanisms are proposed to explain the regional patterns of skilled emigration, with particular emphasis being given to the role of international recruitment agencies in controlling which skills are sought in certain regional labour markets."
