The phenomenon of spiritual homelessness in transnational spaces among international students in the United States Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-04-11 Arati Maleku, Rebecca Phillips, Mee Young Um, Njeri Kagotho, Guijin Lee, Kathryn Coxe
Although student mobility and educational border crossings, particularly from non‐Western economies to English‐speaking countries, such as the United States, are not new, theoretical concepts that help illuminate global student mobilities rarely examine lived realities of university students in transnational spaces. We aim to explore the phenomenon of ‘spiritual homelessness’ experienced by international

Changing migration rates in England and Wales over a 40‐year period: Is mobility declining? Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-04-05 Oliver Duke‐Williams, Rachel Stuchbury, Jemima Stockton
Research using data for the United States has pointed towards a long‐term pattern of falling migration rates. Similar research in England and Wales has also found declining migration rates when observing all migrants. Using the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study (ONS LS), we study the patterns of migration observed over 10‐year periods for persons in 10‐year birth cohorts over each intercensal

A tale of three villages: Local housing policies, well‐being and encounters between residents and immigrants Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-31 Magdalena Ulceluse, Bettina Bock, Tialda Haartsen
This article examines how the location, function and quality of immigrant accommodation facilities, regulated by local housing policies, shape the perceived effects of immigration on the well‐being of residents and immigrants in three villages in the Netherlands. Drawing on semistructured interviews with local government representatives, residents and Romanian and Polish immigrants, we show how the

Does weekend commuting really pay off? A panel analysis with German data Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-29 Nico Stawarz, Heiko Rüger, Thomas Skora
Second homes and weekend commuting are frequently used strategies for covering large distances between the place of work and residence. The literature posits a positive association between work‐related spatial mobility, social mobility, and career achievement. However, so far, surprisingly little attention has been paid explicitly to the relationship between weekend commuting (i.e. work‐related residentialmigrate

Population responses to the 1976 South Dakota drought: Insights for wider drought migration research Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-24 Robert McLeman, Francesca Fontanella, Clara Greig, George Heath, Colin Robertson
Droughts on the North American Great Plains once led to elevated levels of out‐migration from rural areas. Large‐scale drought migration has not been observed since the 1950s due to changes in land management and agricultural systems that lessened farm‐level vulnerability to drought. Have droughts had less observable population impacts in subsequent decades? Here, we present findings from an investigation

Analysing migrants' ageing in place as embodied practices of embedding through time: ‘Kilburn is not Kilburn any more’ Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-24 Louise Ryan, Majella Kilkey, Magdolna Lőrinc, Obert Tawodzera
There is growing attention to how people navigate and make sense of particular places through the ageing process. Against this backdrop, there is increasing research on ageing in contexts of migration. Although much of this research focuses on retirement and return migration, comparatively less is known about migrants who remain in the destination society, especially in advanced old age. Drawing on

Intersecting categories in the dissolution of transnational marriages: A socio‐legal perspective Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-22 Asuncion Fresnoza‐Flot
As divorces take place increasingly across national borders, many former partners find themselves in complex situations entangled in more than one state during which some categories of difference intersect, (re)creating inequalities and precarity. Through a socio‐legal perspective combined with transnational and intersectional approaches, the present study elucidates the link between these intersections

Skills on the move: Highly skilled migrants in Switzerland and beyond Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-16 Metka Hercog, Flavia Cangià
This article explores how highly skilled migrants make sense of and subjectively validate their skills when in search of employment in a new country. With the use of a transnational perspective, we suggest that in the context of migration, skills can only be properly understood if we consider the multiple locations and events in people's life trajectories. In addition to foregrounding the spatial context

Staying for the benefits: Location‐specific insider advantages for geographically immobile students in higher education Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-16 Eva Mærsk, Jens F.L. Sørensen, Annette A. Thuesen, Tialda Haartsen
In the youth mobility research, young people's geographical immobility is often associated with negative connotations. This paper challenges this discourse by analysing the location‐specific insider advantages (LSIAs) of geographically immobile young adults in higher education institutions (HEI). We use data from a survey of students in two locations in Denmark: the peripheral city of Esbjerg and the

Scale and zonation effects on internal migration indicators in the United Kingdom Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-16 Stephane Chatagnier, John Stillwell
Consistent data from the last two population censuses in the United Kingdom are utilised in this paper to compare migration intensity and impact between two 1‐year periods and to identify the scale and zonation effects on the selected migration indicators. The picture of change that emerges is one of declining migration intensities and a diminution in the distribution of migrants from urban to rural

Intensity and uncertainty: Performing border conflicts at the US–Mexico borderlands Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-12 Guillermo Candiz, Tanya Basok
This article draws on border studies that recognise rebordering practices as ongoing performances of conflict between various actors including state authorities, border security agents, migrants, migrant supporters, smugglers, international organisations, lawyers, advocates and others. We draw attention to variable levels of intensity with which these conflicts are performed and the impact they have

Interjecting the geographies of skills into international skilled migration research: Political economy and ethics for a renewed research agenda Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-12 Parvati Raghuram
There is now a large literature on skilled migration, which uses multiple definitions, concepts, theories and understandings of skilled migrants. However, this research has not adequately considered the geographies of skills—the spatial and temporal relations through which skills get meaning, are accrued and claimed and their outcomes and how these shape and are shaped by skilled mobilities and migration

Between stuckness and stillness: Why do young adults not undertake temporary mobility? Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-07 Lucas Haldimann, Marieke Heers, Patrick Rérat
Youth temporary mobility occurs for purposes such as volunteering, Erasmus exchanges and linguistic stays. Although it is increasingly common, a large proportion of young adults are not mobile. This study is based on a large‐scale survey among young adults in Switzerland. It draws on the concept of motility to analyse the barriers to temporary mobility, where motility may be defined as a set of mobility

Religiosity and the realisation of fertility intentions: A comparative study of eight European countries Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-04 Isabella Buber‐Ennser, Caroline Berghammer
Previous studies have consistently shown that religious persons both intend and have more children than their non‐religious peers. However, it is yet unknown whether their higher number of children entirely reflects their higher intentions or whether religious persons also realise their intentions more often than non‐religious individuals. By including different geographical regions—four countries

Trade‐offs in destination choices among the urban populations in three Southeast Asian countries Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-04 Kerstin K. Zander, Stephen T. Garnett
Internal migration of the urban population is substantial with diverse drivers, barriers, and reasons for destination choices. Whereas internal mobility in Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) countries is well‐studied under the umbrella of residential, labour, amenity, and retirement migration, such research in non‐OECD countries is rare and limited to the economic aspects

The intergenerational social mobility of internationally mobile students: The status attainment of returnees from abroad compared with non‐returnees Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-01 Miloslav Bahna
The well‐researched positive selectivity of international student mobility (ISM) participants with regard to parental education and social class identifies ISM as a strategy of distinction in times of a massification of tertiary education. Research has noted that returnees profit from the distinction their education gives them in the local labour market. However, studies from several countries suggest

Individual residential mobility, immobility, and political attitudes: The case of Brexit voting intentions in the 2016 UK EU Referendum Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-03-01 Ian Shuttleworth, Eerika Finell, Þóroddur Bjarnason, Clifford Stevenson
One explanation of the results of the UK EU Referendum and the US Presidential Election in 2016 has been as a triumph of citizens of ‘somewhere’—localised and rooted—over the cosmopolitan and spatially mobile citizens of ‘anywhere’, placing residential mobility and its effects on political attitudes at the heart of debates about the causes of populist voting. This paper contributes to these debates

Space, place and internationalisation of higher education: Exploring everyday social practices in the ‘international’ classroom Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-27 Vera Spangler, Hanne Kirstine Adriansen
The aim of this paper is to use a spatial approach to tease out implicit understandings of what is perceived as the ‘good’ student, the ‘right’ pedagogies and ‘legitimate’ knowledge in higher education internationalisation practices. We do so by attending to the social practices in the ‘international’ classroom and explore how such practices are shaped and impacted by students' various backgrounds

Understanding brain waste: Unequal opportunities for skills development between highly skilled women and men, migrants and nonmigrants Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-25 Yvonne Riaño
Brain waste studies seldom analyse the skills development of tertiary‐educated workers according to gender and country of origin. Combining statistical analyses, participatory workshops and 77 qualitative interviews on employment trajectories with highly skilled workers in Switzerland, I offer three contributions. An intersectional perspective reveals unequal opportunities of skills development: Swiss‐born

Social innovation within transnational flows of knowledge: The example of student mobility from Bulgaria Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-23 Birgit Glorius
Taking the example of Bulgarians who studied abroad, this paper explores the motives and practices of graduates regarding socially innovative knowledge transfer in order to deliver social benefits for the local community. The paper shows how both stayers and returnees act within a transnational social space, which develops and deepens during and after student mobility. Engaging in socially innovative

Based on an ethnographic study of male manual workers in Blackpool, a large seaside town in the United Kingdom, and drawing on Bourdieu as a theoretical frame, this article explores the role of place in understanding conditions and experiences of precarity. With higher than average levels of deprivation, seaside towns have experienced particular employment challenges where precariousness is likely

Regionalisation is a hallmark of Australia's approach to international migration, reflecting governments' growing concern with where new arrivals live. Residence in regional Australia is encouraged (mandated, for some visas) in response to urban population pressures alongside rural population and economic decline. Parallel to regionally focused visa schemes exists a pattern of voluntary urban‐to‐rural

Skills mismatch and the migration paradox of Israeli life scientists Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-22 Nir Cohen, Nurit Eyal
The paper examines the nexus between skills mismatch, educational/industrial policies, and brain circulation in Israel. Focusing on the field of life sciences (LS), it argues that migratory movements of highly educated Israelis are fueled by vertical (inadequate level) and horizontal (inadequate type) skills mismatches. It shows that whereas many so‐called bio‐brains migrate due to being underqualified

School segregation of migrants and their descendants in a dual school system: The case of Barcelona Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-20 Jordi Bayona‐i‐Carrasco, Andreu Domingo
This study analyses levels of school segregation of students of immigrant origin in a city of the south of Europe, namely, Barcelona, which is characterised by a rapidly increasing growth of international immigration in recent decades and moderate or even low levels of residential segregation of immigrants. Besides its analysis of nationality and origin, its main contribution is that it explores a

Measuring migration motives with open‐ended survey data: Methodological and conceptual issues Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-17 Brian Joseph Gillespie, Clara H. Mulder, Casey M. Eggleston
Motives for migration are difficult to measure. Open‐ended data collection can be an attractive option, but also comes with pitfalls. We use the “Motives for Migration” survey on internal migration in Sweden to identify some of these pitfalls. We identify five categories of methodological issues: how the respondents—and we—dealt with multiple motives for migration; who the motive pertained to (i.e

Terrorism, migrant crisis and attitudes towards immigrants from outside of the European Union Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-17 Vladimír Baláž, Eduard Nežinský, Allan M. Williams
This paper analyses how terrorist attacks and high inflows of immigrants impact public attitudes towards immigrants from outside the European Union (EU). It makes an original contribution by analysing both effects in tandem, using an extended longitudinal framework to assess both shorter and longer term impacts and taking into account the role of uncertainty. Ordered probit regression models are applied

Understanding internal migration trends in OECD countries Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-17 Maximiliano Alvarez, Aude Bernard, Scott N. Lieske
Although the decline in the level of internal migration has been the focus of growing scholarly attention, little attention has been paid to countries with increasing or stable intensities. As a result, it is not clear why internal migration is declining in some countries but not in others. This paper seeks to address this gap by establishing variations in internal migration trends in 18 OECD countries

A shifting yet grounded transnational social field: Interplays of displacement and emplacement in African migrant trajectories across Central America Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-16 Heike Drotbohm, Nanneke Winters
In this article, we draw on the volatile complexity of African migrant trajectories in Central America to broaden the scope of transnational scholarship. These trajectories are characterised by mobilities as well as immobilities, taking shape in particular local contexts. By focusing on the interplays between displacement and emplacement that are part of these trajectories, we aim to increase our understanding

The impact of school bullying on adolescent migration expectations in Iceland Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-16 Thoroddur Bjarnason, Tialda Haartsen, Arsaell M. Arnarsson, Vanda Sigurgeirsdottir
Adolescent migration expectations are shaped by various background characteristics, social relations, and lifestyle considerations. However, the impact of negative social experiences in adolescent society on migration expectations received limited attention. Research on the social consequences of school bullying has nevertheless demonstrated that bullying often leads to social withdrawal and place

Defining distance thresholds for migration research Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-15 Nik Lomax, Paul Norman, Frances Darlington‐Pollock
There exists a large body of research focused on migration distance, where migration is either the outcome of interest or used as an input variable to model something else. However, there is little consistency in the distance thresholds used: these are often arbitrary, based on administrative boundaries or constrained by definitions available in the dataset. This causes problems with comparison across

Transnational divorce in binational marriages: The case of Portuguese–Brazilian and Portuguese–Cape Verdean couples Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-15 Sofia Gaspar, Madalena Ramos, Ana Cristina Ferreira
While academic research has focused on binational marriages (i.e., marriages between partners of different national origins), transnational divorce is still under‐researched in the field of migration and family studies. Drawing on qualitative data, this paper analyses the testimonies of Brazilian and Cape Verdean migrant women concerning their experiences of marriage and divorce from Portuguese partners

Migration and the reconfiguration of rural places: The accommodation of difference in Odemira, Portugal Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-15 Maria Lucinda Fonseca, Alina Esteves, Luís Moreno
International migration reconfigures rural places by engaging localities with globalising forces. Accommodating newcomers, be they farming labourers or lifestyle migrants is a challenge at the local level due to the clash of interests, different visions on how the land should be managed and development promoted. Using Odemira as a case study, the paper has two goals: to show the change brought about

Pre‐arrival temporalities of displacement in refugee migration: The case of resettled Ethiopian refugees in Australia Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-14 Goshu Wolde Tefera
For refugees, displacement involves a reconfiguration of both space and time. Yet the temporal aspect receives less emphasis in existing geographic research. Paying attention to the temporal dimension can generate conceptually innovative insights into how temporality shapes refugees' experiences of displacement. Based on empirical research conducted with Ethiopian refugees in Melbourne, the paper considers

Feeling at home across time and place: A study of Ecuadorians in three European cities Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-09 Paolo Boccagni, Carlos Vargas‐Silva
International migration creates significant dilemmas for people to feel at home or not and a meaningful field to investigate this emotional experience. Using a cross‐country survey of Ecuadorians in Madrid, Milan and London (n = 1093), we explore how spatial, relational, infrastructural and emotional variables influence the sense of feeling at home in a place. We link these aspects to length of residence

For better or for worse mental health? The role of family networks in exogamous unions Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-02 Peter Eibich, Chia Liu
This study tests whether being in an exogamous union affects older individual's family networks, and whether associations between exogamy and mental health reported in previous studies operate through changes in family ties and differ by gender. We focus on individuals aged 60 or above in the German Socio‐Economic Panel Study between 2002 and 2016. We describe demographic and family characteristics

Protracted precarities: The residential mobilities of Poles in Scotland Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-02-02 David McCollum, Paulina Trevena
The significant inflow of migrants to the United Kingdom following the Eastern EU Enlargement of 2004 is noteworthy due to its scale, intensity and geographic diversity. Recent statistical data suggest that these migrants exhibit spatial mobilities that reflect their disadvantage not just from the White British but also from other minority groups. Drawing on 83 interviews with Polish migrants living

The link between parental socio‐economic status (SES) and the likelihood of having a birth in cohabitation or in marriage varies considerably across countries. Previous studies have referred to the pattern of disadvantage perspective and the second demographic transition theory to explain this cross‐national variation. Yet no study has directly tested the explanatory power of both theories in this

From paradise to prison: The disrupted spatial imaginaries of victimised female British migrants in Australia Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2021-01-23 Alexandra Ridgway
British migration to Australia may be motivated by the paradisiacal glow in which the country is framed, but personal lives after arrival can upset these pre‐migratory spatial imaginaries, evoking feelings of darkness, doom, horror, isolation, and imprisonment. This article uses two concepts—that of spatial imaginaries and that of biographical disruptions—to unpack the stories of three British migrant

The ‘Brexit’ referendum represents a hostile shift in the United Kingdom's acculturative context. With its remain majority and pro‐migration political discourse, Scotland appears less hostile than the rest of the United Kingdom. We explored whether and how Brexit affected the mental health of European Union citizens living in Scotland. Thirty EU citizens took part in seven focus groups. Participants

We study changes in the spatial distribution and segregation of socio‐economic groups in Australia using a new data set with harmonised census data for 1991 and 2011. We find a general increase in residential segregation by education and occupation groups across the major capital cities in Australia. Importantly, these trends cannot be explained in general by changes in the demographic structure of

The paper focuses on economic disadvantage (loss) or economic advantage (gain) among first‐ and second‐generation immigrants in Switzerland in comparison to the Swiss majority group. We distinguish between economic and noneconomic (political, family reunion, and educational pursuit) immigrants. Utilising data from the 2007 Swiss Health Survey, we found that economic immigrant males are able to attain

Staying in the city or moving to the suburbs? Unravelling the moving behaviour of young families in the four big cities in the Netherlands Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2020-12-23 Hester Booi, Willem R. Boterman, Sako Musterd
In many postindustrial cities in the Global North, increasing families seem to choose to stay in the city rather than move to the suburbs. This might imply that residential preferences of young families shift from suburban to more urban. In this paper, the moving behaviour of young families in the four largest cities in the Netherlands is analysed. The moving behaviour is measured with register data

Becoming a part of ‘elsewhereness’: On the self‐perceived integration of Swedish immigrants in Portugal Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2020-12-22 Daniel Rauhut, Alina Esteves
This article discusses the self‐perceived integration of Swedes permanently residing in Portugal. The knowledge of how EU citizens, particularly Swedes, live and integrate into Portuguese society is limited. The conceptual framework on self‐perceived integration takes its points of departure from the concepts of a sense of belonging to society and place, feelings of discomfort and coping tactics. Using

Housing costs, self‐employment, and fertility Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2020-12-21 Richard Florida, Charlotta Mellander, Karen King
The decline in fertility across advanced nations is a well‐known fact. Becker famously argued that declining rates of childbirth were the by‐product of higher levels of economic development and human capital. Recently, it has been suggested that two additional factors might lead to declining rates of childbirth—the higher housing costs of expensive cities and the change in the nature of work and employment

Transnational lives on the move: Looking beyond binational sedentarism Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2020-12-08 George Mavrommatis
Transnationalism and the mobilities paradigm are important theoretical contributions to have emerged during the last three decades in social sciences. However, they have not been meaningfully integrated within migration studies. Rather, analysis of transnational phenomena has focused on two distinct places (country, society, city etc.); back and forth movement between them; and the flows that create

Internal migration and housing costs—A panel analysis for Germany Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2020-11-23 Nico Stawarz, Nikola Sander, Harun Sulak
The emergent crisis of affordable urban housing coupled with a sustained decline in internal migration rates in many Western countries warrants a thorough exploration of the relation between housing costs and internal migration. Although it is well established that housing is an important contextual determinant of migration flows, little attention has thus far been paid to the ways in which rising

New economics of transnational living Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2020-11-13 Marta Bivand Erdal, Jørgen Carling
This article unpacks what constitutes the economics of transnational living. We situate this concept among literatures on economic transnationalism, transnational livelihoods, and transnational social protection but argue that it merits a new conceptual foundation. The first part of this foundation is the definition of “transnational living” as sustained and similarly significant attachments, interactions

Neighbourhood context and young adult mobility: A life course approach Population, Space and Place (IF 2.591) Pub Date : 2020-11-09 Eva K. Andersson, Bo Malmberg, William A.V. Clark
This paper finds convincing evidence of upward progress out of poor Swedish neighbourhoods for individuals with a Swedish background, individuals with a European background, and those with a non‐European background. We use the 1986 cohort of the Swedish population and follow them from age 15 when they are living at home to age 30. We find that by age 30, they live in a neighbourhood that in terms of
