Care Preferences Beyond Filial Piety: How Second‐Generation Chinese Migrants in the Netherlands Plan Care for Ageing Parents?
As more first‐generation Chinese migrants in the Netherlands reach older age, increased attention is required to reconcile their care needs and expectations with the expectations and perspectives of their adult children. Moving beyond filial piety, this study examines how second‐generation Chinese migrants develop and reflect on their preferences and plans for their parents' care. The study employs a developmental life course perspective (DLCP) t…
A multi-level puzzle: Contextual determinants of the discrimination paradox in Europe
An increasing body of research has found evidence for a discrimination paradox, the finding that higher educated migrants perceive more discrimination. Knowledge is limited, however, with regards to its omnipresence across the multicultural societies of Europe. Therefore, the present research assesses the generalizability of the discrimination paradox and investigates its context dependency for both personal and societal perceived discrimination.…

Disclosing identities at work: Employee Attitudes Toward Sharing Personal Information on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Purpose Organizations committed to nondiscrimination and inclusivity can monitor employee experiences to expose inequalities and develop precise, targeted policies. One approach is to collect and analyze personal data on sexual orientation and gender identity. However, are employees prepared to share such personal information? What are their hesitations, and under what conditions are they willing to disclose? To comprehend the complexities of emp…

Who Aspires for International Migration? An Exploration of the Role of Internal Migration, Capacities and Relative Deprivation
Who aspires to migrate internationally? This question has occupied the research agendas of many migration scholars. In this paper, we aim to answer this question using unique life history survey data collected among 604 internal migrants and non-migrants residing in Accra, Ghana. By making a comparison between the two groups, we explore the role of internal migration experiences in affecting international migration aspirations. Building upon the …
Transnational and Local Co-ethnic Social Ties as Coping Mechanisms Against Perceived Discrimination - A Study on the Life Satisfaction of Turkish and Moroccan Minorities in the Netherlands
Perceived ethnic discrimination is known to decrease minorities' life satisfaction. This research investigates the extent to which minorities' local and transnational co-ethnic social ties mitigate the negative effects of perceived discrimination on life satisfaction. Put differently, focusing on the experiences of Turkish and Moroccan minorities, we discuss whether co-ethnic social ties, both locally and transnationally embedded, can be consider…
Financial aid, remittances and their effect on relative deprivation in Rwanda
Economic relative deprivation is increasingly recognized as an indication of economic well‐being, also among refugees. This study examines to what extent financial contributions (financial aid and remittances) can compensate for the objective and subjective relative deprivation of Congolese refugees compared to their Rwandan hosts. The analysis is conducted using unique data that have been collected with a UNHCR‐funded research project. We find t…
Migration trajectories and transnational support within and beyond Europe
The special issue: Migration Trajectories and Transnational Support Within and Beyond Europe brings together a set of papers with fresh empirical analysis from diverse settings documenting the experiences of migrants residing within and beyond the boundaries of Europe. This introductory article has the objective of laying the groundwork for a better understanding of how migration trajectories are shaped and continued in the contexts of transnatio…
Evolution of migration trajectories and transnational social networks over time: A study among sub-Saharan African migrants in Europe
The transnational social networks of migrants are extensively studied, but little is known about the associations between transnational social networks and individual migration trajectories over the course of migrants’ lives. In this paper, we reconstruct the migration trajectories and transnational social networks of African migrants until their arrival in Europe and develop a typology that reflects the diversity of their trajectories. Based on …
Beyond the isolation thesis: Exploring the links between residential concentration and immigrant integration in the Netherlands
Residential concentration is often referred to as an obstacle to the integration of immigrant minorities. Originating from Wilson’s isolation thesis (Wilson, W. J. 1987. The Truly Disadvantaged: The Inner City, the Underclass, and Public Policy. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.), it is assumed that the high ratio of minorities in the neighbourhood decreases chances for social integration, which consequently affects other aspects of integrati…
How do refugees affect social life in host communities? The case of Congolese refugees in Rwanda
This paper investigates how social dimensions of life in local communities are affected by the long-term presence of Congolese refugees in Rwanda, paying particular attention to feelings of safety, social networks and trust. To gauge whether increased probability of interaction with refugees reduces cohesion, these outcomes are compared across local households at varying distances from a refugee camp. This paper is based on mixed methods approach…
Is the Education of Local Children Influenced by Living near a Refugee Camp? Evidence from Host Communities in Rwanda
This article studies the extent to which educational services and schooling outcomes of local children are influenced by the presence of a refugee camp in or near their community. Investigating Congolese refugees in Rwanda and relying on a mixed‐method approach, we examine schooling rates and access to school‐based feeding programmes in communities closer to and further away from three refugee camps. We conduct cohort analyses to compare the scho…
Considering the benefits of hosting refugees: Evidence of refugee camps influencing local labour market activity and economic welfare in Rwanda
This paper examines the influence of Congolese refugees on host communities in Rwanda, with a focus on labour market activity and economic welfare. The analysis takes advantage of newly collected survey data from three refugee camps and their surrounding areas to compare individuals and households within communities at various distances from, and therefore exposure to, the refugee population. We find evidence that residing close to a refugee camp…
Who reintegrates? The constituents of reintegration of displaced populations
The reintegration constituents of displaced populations are understudied, despite increased attention being paid to return and reintegration outcomes. In this paper, we explore how various factors related to the migration cycle, including returnees' displacement experiences and return conditions, are associated with reintegration outcomes. For this aim, we take a multidimensional approach to the measurement of reintegration. In addition to object…
Return migrants’ perceptions of living conditions in Ethiopia: A gendered analysis
It is widely accepted that people migrate to seek better living opportunities, and migration experiences affect life conditions considerably upon return. Research focused on gendered perspectives has illustrated that men and women experience migration differently and that this difference clearly affects their living conditions upon return. However, few studies have sought to further examine the factors that determine the differences in men and wo…
Migrants' capacity as actors of development: Do Skills Matter for Economic and Social Remittances
Highly skilled migrants are presumably in a better position than less skilled ones to contribute to development in their countries of origin, largely by way of economic and social remittances. In this article, we use unique data on first-generation migrants in the Netherlands to test how economic and social remittances differ by skill level. We find that the highly skilled are more likely to remit, to remit larger amounts and to give advice on ed…
Economic Integration to Send Money Back Home
This article investigates the links between economic integration and remittances sending behavior through the cases of Afghan, Burundian, Ethiopian, and Moroccan first generation migrants in the Netherlands. The analysis demonstrates that economically-better-integrated migrants, especially those with secure employment, are significantly more likely to remit, remit more, and remit more for investment purposes rather than consumption. Consequently,…
Policy perspectives of Turkey towards return migration: From permissive indifference to selective difference
This is the first paper of its kind to look at policy perspectives on return migration in Turkey, based on an analysis of official documents and a series of interviews with Turkish authorities, government officials and academics. We identify several perspectives which range from the absence of a specific legislation to control return migration, to the concrete attempts to regulate the return of a selected group of migrants, namely the highly skil…
Transnationalism in a Comparative Perspective: An Introduction
Since the publication of ‘Nations Unbound’ (Basch et al 1994), studies on transnationalism have mushroomed. Despite ongoing debates about the nature of the concept, and the newness of the phenomenon, there is a growing consensus about the importance of taking into account migrants’ multi-stranded social ties which link together societies of origin and settlement. There is also a strong push to move away from ‘methodological nationalism’ in order …
Migrants’ Multi-Sited Social Lives: Interactions between Sociocultural Integration and Homeland Engagement
This paper challenges the assimilationist assumption that suggests migrants cannot be simultaneously embedded in multiple societies. Based on survey data collected among Afghan, Burundian, Ethiopian and Moroccan migrants in the Netherlands, the paper shows that overall sociocultural integration in the Netherlands and sociocultural homeland engagement are significantly positively correlated. Moreover, it demonstrates that migrants with more contac…
