title: Migration and settlement:  a multiregional comparative study.
abstract: "In 1976, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis initiated a study of migration and population distribution patterns in its seventeen member nations.  In each country, the analysis was carried out by national scholars using techniques of multiregional demography.  In this paper the authors describe the organization of the study, discuss the data bases used, evaluate the main results obtained, and review some of the methodological research that has been generated by the study.  Among the...conclusions are recommendations for researchers wishing to carry out a multiregional demographic analysis."  Consideration is given to national and subnational patterns of mortality, fertility, and migration; age composition; and regional population distribution.
