A Gendered Bystander Effect
Which gender is more vulnerable to human trafficking recruitment, and does a bystander from the community reduce situational vulnerability? Moving away from the passive victim framework, we hypothesise that vulnerability to an exploitative overseas job-offer can be rational, vary by gender, and be moderated by the situational social influence of another person. Building on rational choice and the literature on irregular labour migration, we condu…
Gender Attitudes, Inequality and Migration Decision‐Making
We explore the role of gender‐unequal attitudes towards gender norms and perceived structural gender inequality in the migration decision‐making of men and women. Adopting a conceptual model based on possible selves theory, the research employs a contextual social identity perspective concerning gender. We posit that the disparate spheres of inequality experienced by women relative to men should have a distinct relationship with the constituent e…

Liberal democratic values among immigrants in Europe
Against the backdrop of debates about migrant integration in Western countries, this article examines the extent to which liberal democratic values differ between migrants and non-migrants in Europe and whether potential differences can be explained by socialisation in different political contexts. We measure specific values of liberal democracies using data from the European Social Survey, covering a large number of countries, and from the Germa…
The role of sender credibility in migration information campaigns
The actors who carry out migration information campaigns—and thus serve as ‘information senders’—vary greatly. Existing studies on the effectiveness of such campaigns typically focus on one case of an information campaign. It is difficult to compare these case studies because, in addition to the different implementing actors, they differ substantially in terms of the content conveyed and the ways they are carried out. As a result, evidence of the…
Feelings of Guilt When Caring for Parents Across Borders
It is well established that families maintain ties across national borders. Research shows that caregiving obligations between adult children and their parents can induce care burden and negatively impact well-being, particularly when children are unable to adequately care for parents abroad. Guilt is the most common of personal feelings involved in care burden and yet often neglected in research. Research also highlights gender differences in ca…
Credibility and/or anxiety - The moderators of political information on migration
In the policy of migration information campaigns Western governments aim to influence perceptions on irregular migration in potential sending countries. While information campaigns are called the ‘ethical part’ of Western border politics, critical research literature questions their legitimacy due to anxiety-inducing messages, and the (lacking) credibility of Western implementers in the Global South. Drawing on dual-process theories from Psycholo…

(How) Do Information Campaigns Influence Migration Decisions
One European policy response to the so-called migration crisis is an accelerated implementation of information campaigns in potential origin countries. Whether and how these campaigns can influence decisions about irregular migration, however, remains under explored. I argue that information campaigns reduce intentions to migrate irregularly and expect the effects to be more substantial when anxiety-inducing messages are used. Based on a field ex…
Migration aspirations and the perceptions of the political, economic and social environment in Africa
While much research has investigated how objective pull factors in the destination countries affect migration movements, and how subjective push factors affect migration aspirations, we know little about the interrelationship between subjective and objective factors. This paper therefore examines how people's perceptions of their political, economic and social structural environment affect their migration aspirations and to what extent these perc…
