Abstract

"Population movements in the French Pacific territories (French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna) are discussed. The local government of French Polynesia and the French authorities have tried since the beginning of the 1980s to prevent migration to Tahiti by retaining the population on the outer islands and by encouraging return migration.... The purpose of this paper is not to describe in detail the population movements in the French territories, but to review recent changes in the course of these movements, examine the impact of policy measures, and discuss the prospects for the next ten or twenty years."
