The U.S. Bureau of the Census and Statistics Canada has just jointly released one of the most interesting and unusual publications in the Special Studies Series of the Current Population Reports. Entitled "Migration Between the United States and Canada," it represents the latest tangible product of the long and sustained cooperation between the two agencies in research issues of mutual concern. Immigration and emigration by their very natures are international concerns. Only by integrating data and information from the countries involved can the international exchange of people be understood. This article describes the background and characteristics of the United States-born population in Canada and the Canadian-born population in the United States. Migrants from each country to the other are compared in terms of demographic, social, and economic characteristics. The social indicators include marital status, fertility, education, and language. Labor force participation, occupation and industry of employment, and income are included in the analyses of economic characteristics of the two migration flows.
