Resumen
Descripción
Few representative surveys of households
of migrants exist, limiting the analysis of the effects of
international migration on sending families. This paper
reports the results of an experiment designed to compare the
performance of three alternative survey methods in
collecting data from Japanese-Brazilian families, many of
whom send migrants to Japan. The three surveys conducted
were 1) Households selected randomly from a door-to-door
listing using the Brazilian Census to select census blocks;
2) A snowball survey using Nikkei community groups to select
the seeds; and 3) An intercept point survey collected at
Nikkei community gatherings, ethnic grocery stores, sports
clubs, and other locations where family members of migrants
are likely to congregate. The authors analyze how closely
well-designed snowball and intercept point surveys can
approach the much more expensive census-based method in
terms of giving information on the characteristics of
migrants, the level of remittances received, and the
incidence and determinants of return migration.
