What drives Senegalese migration to Europe? The role of economic restructuring, labor demand, and the multiplier effect of networks
International migration from Sub-Saharan Africa to Europe is poorly understood. Furthermore, existing studies pay insufficient attention to the links between the micro-level factors and political, social, and economic processes in both origin and destinati
Prospects for the comparative study of international migration using quasi-longitudinal micro-data
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal micro-level data about international migration behavior are notoriously difficult to collect, but data collection efforts have become more frequent in recent years. Comparative research of the patterns and processes of international migration, however, remains quite rare, especially that which compares across regions. OBJECTIVE: We highlight the promises and difficulties of comparative international migration research, by…
Reunifying versus Living Apart Together across Borders
This article studies the process of reunification in Europe among “living apart together across borders” (LATAB) couples of African origin (DR Congo, Ghana, and Senegal). Couple reunion is conceived as a multilevel process, wherein state selection (through immigration policies in destination countries) interacts with self-selection (at the couple level), under influence of the social context at origin. Based on event history analyses of the MAFE …
Distance, Transnational Arrangements, and Return Decisions of Senegalese, Ghanaian, and Congolese Migrants
This article examines the determinants of return of Senegalese, Ghanaian and Congolese migrants in Europe, and the extent to which their return decisions were linked to reasons and circumstances of their initial migration to Europe. We utilize the retrospective life history data collected by the MAFE Project in Senegal, Ghana and DR Congo and six European countries in order to understand whether and how changing conditions in both origin and dest…
An Origin and Destination Perspective on Family Reunification
Couple Bargaining or Socio-Economic Status
The quality of time dedicated to child care has potentially positive effects on children's life chances. However, the determinants of parental time allocation to child care remain largely unexplored. We assess two main explanations for differences among parents in the amount of time spent with children. The first, based on the relative resources hypothesis, links variation in time spent with children to the relative attributes (occupation, educat…
Child-Parent Separations among Senegalese Migrants to Europe
The authors use the Migration between Africa and Europe (MAFE) project data to examine the incidence and duration of child-parent separations and the determinants of child-parent reunification among Senegalese migrants. Their findings indicate that approximately one-sixth of the Senegalese children in the sample were separated from their parents due to parental migration to Europe. These separations are relatively long, especially if the absent p…

Regional child care availability and fertility decisions in Spain
In this paper I explore two hypotheses: (1) Formal childcare availability for children under 3 has a positive effect on fertility; and (2) Formal childcare availability has different effects across contexts, according to the degree of adaptation of soc
El efecto del empleo, el paro y los contratos temporales en la baja fecundidad española de los años 1990 (The Effect of Employment, Unemployment and Temporary Contracts on the Low Fertility Rate in Sp…
In this article the effects that the participaron of women and their partners in the labor market have on fertility are empirically investigated, focusing on the impact of temporary contracts and unemployment. A life course approach is adopted, in which macro-level institutional and cultural factors are considered to be key in shaping the interrelationship between different trajectories of individuais. A longitudinal sample of the European Househ…
The Interrelations Between Cohabitation, Marriage and First Birth in Germany and Sweden
Age differentiation in the effect of household situation on first-time homeownership
Cohabitation, Marriage, and First Birth
Political Economy and Life Course Patterns
We explore the strong linkages between macro changes and the dynamics of educational, occupational, family, and residential careers of young Spanish adults born between 1945 and 1974. We review theory and evidence on macro factors: changes in the welfa
Leaving Home in Europe
In the paper we analyse the leaving‐home experience of men and women born around 1960 in 16 European countries. We use extensive empirical evidence from Fertility and Family Survey data, providing a large‐scale comparison. We focus on some key indicators of the process of leaving home: the timing, sequencing and synchronisation of leaving home with the end of education and the formation of a first union. As far as these dimensions of leaving home…
