RELATIVE CYCLICAL FLUCTUATIONS IN MALE AND FEMALE MIGRATION Immigration by Sex. In periods of industrial boom the proportion of males among the immigrants is high; in periods of depression it is low. This is as would be expected, for in a smaller proportion of cases is employment the immediate objective of female immigration and hence the time of this immigration is less dependent upon the current condition of industry than is the immigration of males. This greater suscep- tibility of male immigration to the state of employment is indicated in Chart 3, which appears in Chapter II, page 38.
