“If you smile, they smile”: Explaining highly educated migrants' feelings of being welcome in the Euregio Meuse‐Rhine Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 Julia Reinold, Inge Hooijen, Merve Özer
Creating a welcoming environment is high on policy makers' agendas to attract highly educated migrants. It is unclear, however, which factors contribute to migrants' feelings of being welcome in the host country. This paper addresses this knowledge gap by exploring the factors influencing highly educated migrants' feelings of being welcome in the host country. We develop a conceptual framework that

Does frequent internet use increase the propensity to change address? UK evidence from Understanding Society on mobility preferences, expectations and moves Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2024-01-15 Neil Rowland, Ian Shuttleworth
Long-term declines in rates of internal migration have been widely documented in many developed economies. Accompanying this decline has been a proliferation in the everyday use of new technologies such as the internet. New communication technologies have been theorised to influence migration decisions, but the direction of this influence is ambiguous, with some studies finding that they decrease migration

Unveiling the intersections between tourism industry and student mobility Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2024-01-03 Daniel Malet Calvo, Jordi Nofre, Íñigo Sánchez Fuarros
Previous studies have shown how student circuits of consumption are mediated by the interest of commercial actors. However, little attention has been paid to the connections between international student stays and the tourism sector: how they intersect with each other? Our fieldwork in Lisbon (Portugal) showed the central role of student organizations in commercializing the leisure time of international

Changes in mixed ethnicity households and neighbourhood transitions in England and Wales Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Gemma Catney, Mark Ellis, Richard Wright
Conventional explanations of neighbourhood ethnic transitions consider what drives differential growth in ethnic group populations without regard to household composition. We enrich these nonhousehold approaches by using consistent Census data on neighbourhoods and households for England and Wales for 2001, 2011 and 2021 to analyse connections between mixed-ethnicity households and neighbourhood ethnic

Life-course trajectories and spatial segregation in older age Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2023-11-27 Bo Malmberg, Eva K. Andersson, Thomas Wimark
There are few reasons to believe that social segregation is restricted to the working age population. Still, attempts to analyse social segregation among old age individuals have been lacking. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to explore the extent to which old age individuals who follow different sociodemographic trajectories are geographically segregated. We analyse residential segregation

Migrants' choices pertaining to informal childcare in Italy and France: A complex relationship between the origin and destination countries Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2023-11-15 Eleonora Trappolini, Elisa Barbiano di Belgiojoso, Stefania M. L. Rimoldi, Laura Terzera
Childcare is a need that inevitably emerges once migrants establish themselves and their families in their destination country. However, migrants' use of informal childcare still constitutes an under-researched phenomenon. Using data from the ‘Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens’ survey (2011–2012) for Italy and the ‘Trajectoires et Origines’ survey (2008–2009) for France, this paper

Older British migrants in Spain: Return patterns and intentions post-Brexit Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2023-11-14 Jordi Giner-Monfort, Kelly Hall
After the Brexit referendum results, there may have been fears that a significant part of the British population in Spain, one of the largest outside the Commonwealth, would return to the United Kingdom. This paper uses different sources to assess whether, on the one hand, such a return movement has existed and, on the other hand, whether it could exist in the future. To do so, we analyse data from

Explaining the urban–rural gradient in later fertility in Europe Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2023-10-31 Bernhard Riederer, Éva Beaujouan
Demographic research shows that, in Europe, fertility takes place later and is lower in cities than in rural areas. One might expect fertility to be delayed in urban areas because of longer periods in education and enhanced career opportunities. We, therefore, examine how prevalent later fertility (35+ and 40+) is along the urban–rural axis, and whether differences can be explained by economic, cultural

Interaction of ancestry and agency: Challenges, constraints and options for second-generation Albanian youth relocating from Greece Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2023-10-20 Domna Michail, Russell King
The Greek economic crisis resulted in tens of thousands of Albanian migrants returning to their home country. Amongst the returnees were many second-generation children of the immigrants, who either returned with their families or relocated as individuals, leaving family members in Greece. Since the second generation were brought up in Greece they are not true returnees; we call their movement ‘relocation’ rather

Previous research has often linked socioeconomic decline and 'left behind' places with out-migration and depopulation. Few analyses have reflected on the role of connectivity in the migratory system, and how this varies across groups and places to produce peripheralisation. Using detailed migration in England and Wales, we examine the level of spatial focusing of migration flows between local authority

Parenting in place: Young children's living arrangement and migrants' sleep health in South Africa Population, Space and Place (IF 2.63) Pub Date : 2023-07-11 Sangeetha Madhavan, Seung Wan Kim, Michael White, Xavier Gomez-Olive
Migration research tends to treat childrearing as a secondary role for migrants. By prioritising the economic objectives of migration, most models present migrants as either delaying childbearing or, if they have young children, not living with them. However, migration has become increasingly feminised, the types of mobility more varied, while the returns to migration remain uncertain at best. At the
