Does skill emigration hurt unskilled workers? Theory and cross‐country evidence International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 Saibal Kar, Sugata Marjit
How does out‐migration of skilled workers affect unskilled workers' wage in the source country? When skilled workers emigrate, unskilled wages tend to go down in some countries. If the sector that uses both skilled and unskilled workers shows a lower degree of capital intensity as compared to sectors that use only skilled workers in production, it is a common outcome. We use 19 years of cross‐country

Climatic Variability and Internal Migration in Asia: Evidence from Big Microdata Population and Development Review (IF 10.515) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Brian C. Thiede, Abbie Robinson, Clark Gray
The effects of climate change on human migration have received widespread attention, driven in part by concerns about potential large‐scale population displacements. Recent studies demonstrate that climate‐migration linkages are often complex, and climatic variability may increase, decrease, or have null effects on migration. However, the use of noncomparable analytic strategies across studies makes

Understanding arrival contexts of local refugee reception using a ‘phase space’ perspective Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2024-04-02 Friederike Enßle‐Reinhardt, Birgit Glorius, Hanne Schneider
Migration is an inherently spatial phenomenon as it depicts the processes and effects of humans' movement from one place to another. Recent debates in geographical migration research highlight the need to adequately understand how the distinct nature of space and place shape migration and arrival processes. Taking up this call, this contribution proposes to bring together more‐than‐relational approaches

Further complications to poverty of place: daily poverty dynamics across space Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2024-04-01 J. Tom Mueller, Peyman Heykmatpour, Matthew M. Brooks, Regina S. Baker
It is well established that living in a high‐poverty area often leads to lower levels of well‐being for residents. While these deleterious effects of place‐based poverty are well‐documented, the conceptual mechanisms linking poverty of place to negative outcomes remain debated, and the our understanding of the spatial patterning of poverty remains underdeveloped. In this paper, we problematize simple

Pacing mobility trajectories: Temporality and agency in ‘home’ visits by migrant youth Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2024-03-21 Sarah Anschütz, Valentina Mazzucato
Research on transnational youth mobilities has shown the importance of visits to the ‘home’ country for young people's identities, sense of belonging and access to resources. Yet what transpires on these visits and how do young people agentically shape their experiences? This paper brings into dialogue scholarship on ‘homeland’ mobilities, trajectories and temporalities to shed light on how youth experience
