  • The Changing Geographies of Ageing and Age Mixing Across Urban–Rural Areas in Scotland, 2011–2022

    Open Access•Rachel Z Wilkie, Nissa Finney et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2026•References: 13

    Like other high‐income countries, Scotland is experiencing rapid population ageing, with evidence of spatial polarisation of age groups. This study uses the Scottish Censuses of 2011 and 2022 to understand patterns and trends in the geographies of ageing and age mixing. With attention to urban‐rural differences, we examined, at the Data Zone (neighbourhood) level, spatial age segregation and age mixing using the Dissimilarity Index, cumulative pr…

  • Loneliness and social isolation of ethnic minority/immigrant older adults: A scoping review

    Open Access•Mengxing Joshi, Nissa Finney et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2025

    Loneliness and social isolation among older adults are emerging public health concerns. Older adults from ethnic minority communities or with immigration backgrounds may be particularly vulnerable when encountering loneliness and social isolation due to the double jeopardy of their old age and minority status. The goal of this study is to conduct a scoping review of published journal articles on ethnic minority/immigrant older adults’ loneliness …

  • The Green Areas Are Out of Our Reach: Racialisation, Erasure and Resistance in UK Urban Greening Initiatives

    Open Access•Hannah Haycox, Nasar Meer et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2025•References: 21

    Commitments to Build Back Greener remain prominent in international approaches to post-pandemic economic recovery. Yet, few studies have considered how the associated processes of valuing, preserving and erasing green spaces in urban greening redevelopment projects are inflected by racialised inequalities. Drawing on 29 interviews with policy practitioners and racially minoritised residents in Oldham (North-West England), this article contests di…

    Open Access•Nissa Finney, Kate Botterill et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2024•References: 23

    Reflecting critically on 50 years of the Royal Geographical Society (with Institute of British Geographers) (RGS‐IBG) Population Geography Research Group (PopGRG), and drawing on interviews with leading population geographers of the British Isles, this paper identifies defining features of Population Geography that attest to its longevity: personal connections and material production; fluidity and adaptability over time and through interdisciplin…

  • An ethnic group specific deprivation index for measuring neighbourhood inequalities in England and Wales

    Open Access•Christopher D Lloyd, Gemma Catney et al.•ARTICLE•Geographical Journal•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 40

    The measurement of deprivation for small areas in the UK has provided the basis for the development of policies and targeting of resources aimed at reducing spatial inequalities. Most measures summarise the aggregate level of deprivation across all people in a given area, and no account is taken of differences between people with differing characteristics, such as age, sex or ethnic group. In recognition of the marked inequalities between ethnic …

  • Housing governance and racialisation: Inclusivity' in Housing Access and Experience

    Open Access•Hannah Haycox, Emma Hill et al.•ARTICLE•New Community•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 27

    In March 2022, the UK government refined its approach to tackling systemic inequalities with a seemingly innocuous refrain: ‘inclusivity’. The instilling of shared values and economic development were discursively framed in central government rhetoric as the solutions to existing disparities and processes that were linked to places deemed as deprived. Drawing on data from forty-seven interviews with policy practitioners, anti-racist networks, and…

  • Diverse Early-Life Family Trajectories and Young Children's Mental Health in the UK

    Open Access•Michaela Šťastná, Júlia Mikolai et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2024•References: 44

    Past research suggests that children from two-parent married families fare better than children from other families on many outcomes. Only fragmented evidence on diverse family trajectories in association with child mental health is available. Using multi-channel sequence analysis and data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study, we jointly capture maternal partnership trajectories and type of father co-residence between birth and age 5. We then…

  • The persistence and pervasiveness of racial discrimination in Great Britain: Capturing Experienced Racial Discrimination Over Time and Life Domains

    Open Access•Laia Bécares, H F W Taylor et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 34

    Racism has been long-established to be associated with social, economic, and health inequalities for minoritised ethnic groups, but existent evidence likely under-estimates the extent and persistence of experienced racial discrimination due to limitations in the measurement of timing and domains of life where racial discrimination occurs. We analysed data captured by a novel retrospective measure of life course experiences of racial discriminatio…

  • Age segregation and housing unaffordability: Generational divides in housing opportunities and spatial polarisation in England and Wales

    Open Access•Albert Sabater I Coll, Nissa Finney•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 39

    Age is an important known driver of residential sorting, yet little is understood about how age segregation is affected by housing unaffordability. This relationship is particularly pertinent given trends of increasing housing inequalities and population ageing, in Europe and elsewhere. Using harmonised population data for small areas linked with local house price statistics and household incomes in England and Wales, this paper examines the scal…

  • Ethnic diversification and neighbourhood mixing: A rapid response analysis of the 2021 Census of England and Wales

    Open Access•Gemma Catney, Christopher D Lloyd et al.•ARTICLE•Geographical Journal•2023•Cited by: 24•References: 25

    This paper provides a rapid response analysis of the changing geographies of ethnic diversity and segregation in England and Wales using Census data covering the last 30 years (1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021), a period of significant social, economic and political change. Presenting the first detailed analysis of 2021 Census small area ethnic group data, we find that the growth of ethnic diversity at the national level is mirrored across residential n…

  • Ethnic differences in self‐assessed health in Scotland: The role of socio‐economic status and migrant generation

    Open Access•Geneviève Cézard, Nissa Finney et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2020•References: 14

    This study investigates ethnic differences in self‐assessed health in Scotland and their determinants, focusing on socio‐economic status and migrant generations. We use the Scottish Health and Ethnicity Linkage Study (SHELS) and apply regression analysis to data for 4.6 million people. The analysis shows that the White British, Other White and Chinese groups reported better health than the White Scottish population, whereas Pakistani and Indian p…

  • Demographic dynamics across urban settings and implications for ethnic geographies

    Open Access•Lena Imeraj, Nissa Finney et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2020•Cited by: 3•References: 14

    There remains a tendency to treat demographic components of urban change in isolation from one another, neglecting the interplay between them. Thus, research has fallen short of an integrated demographic approach for explaining ethnic densification and segregation. To address this shortfall, this paper attends to the dynamics of the components of demographic change and in particular their migrant‐ and location‐specific expressions. The analyses u…

  • Population geography I: Epistemological opportunities of mixed methods

    Open Access•Nissa Finney•ARTICLE•Progress in Human Geography•2020•Cited by: 9•References: 14

    Population geography is rightly recognised for its quantitative expertise. Yet, the methodological and epistemological diversification that has taken place within the sub-discipline alongside decades of theoretical developments has gone largely undiscussed. In this report, I suggest that population geography is methodologically multilingual and thus well placed to embrace mixed methods. This would bring epistemological opportunities for populatio…

  • Slippery discrimination: A review of the drivers of migrant and minority housing disadvantage

    Open Access•Sue Lukes, Nigel De Noronha et al.•ARTICLE•New Community•2019

    This paper aims to identify housing disadvantages faced by migrants and ethnic minorities; the legal, policy and market forces that shape them; how they have developed over time; how they are manifest nationally and locally; and how they are being responded to locally by those concerned with mitigating them. The paper thereby intends to provide a foundation to inform future research and policy and to engage with local actors to develop ways of ov…

  • Is migration in later life good for wellbeing? A longitudinal study of ageing and selectivity of internal migration

    Open Access•Nissa Finney, Alan Marshall•ARTICLE•Area•2018•Cited by: 3•References: 24

    Migration scholarship has recently paid attention to lifecourse and non‐economic effects of moving house. Yet consideration of the effects of internal migration in later life has been relatively neglected despite their implications for social and spatial inequalities. Thus we address two questions: how trajectories of wellbeing in later life vary for movers and non‐movers, and how the event of moving affects wellbeing. In both cases we distinguis…

  • Socio-spatial factors associated with ethnic inequalities in districts of England and Wales, 2001–2011

    Open Access•Kitty Lymperopoulou, Nissa Finney•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2017•Cited by: 6•References: 28

    This paper explores the changing geography of ethnic inequality in England and Wales drawing on data from the 2001 and 2011 censuses. Specifically, we use the 2011 Office for National Statistics (ONS) area classification to examine how ethnic inequalities within local areas with different demographic and socio-economic characteristics have changed over time. Local ethnic inequalities are examined through a set of indicators which capture differen…

  • Cities’ attraction and retention of graduates: A more-than-economic approach

    In skilled migration research, the role of the study location in graduates’ residential behaviour remains unclear. This paper addresses this lacuna by examining the attractiveness and retention of higher education cities for local attendants in the period after study, using Belgium as an empirical case study. Drawing on a unique linkage of census and register data for 1991–2010, logistic and Cox regressions illustrate the relative success of smal…

    Internal migration is responsible for the changing geography of Britain's ethnic group populations. Although this changing geography is at the centre of heated debates of social policy, relatively little is known about the internal migration behaviour of different ethnic groups. This paper reviews existing evidence and analyses 1991 and 2001 Census data to provide an overview of patterns and trends in the geographies of migration for each ethnic …

    Relatively little is known about the internal migration behaviour of different ethnic groups. This paper reviews existing evidence, and analyses 2001 Census data for Britain to provide an overview of patterns in the level of migration and the distance migrated, according to the characteristics of migrants and for diverse ethnic groups. Those who migrate in each ethnic group have similar characteristics, leading to the assertion that differences i…

    This paper builds on an emerging literature that focuses on processes of population change as a means of understanding geographies of ethnicity. It argues that persistent assumptions of segregation being the result of divisive separation of ethnic groups are mistaken. The paper takes a demographic approach, presenting analyses of original estimates of natural change and net migration for eight ethnic groups in Britain over the period 1991–2001, a…

  • Ethnic Group Population Change and Neighbourhood Belonging

    The community cohesion agenda in Britain has focused attention on the ethnic character of neighbourhoods and how population change affects cohesion. This paper examines the relationship between neighbourhood ethnic group population change and belonging. The paper measures population change as immigration, gross internal migration and with a categorisation of ethnic group population dynamics that combines migration and natural change. Pooled 2005 …

    Ethnically diverse urban areas are often strongly influenced by the demographic consequences of immigration. A dynamic model of population, housing and social change following immigration is proposed and then tested using a time-series of census data for northern English towns. The results show how natural growth generates dispersal of immigrant populations to new clusters. They chart the changing nature of cities and challenge the interpretation…

  • Ethnic Group Population Change and Neighbourhood Belonging

    Open Access•Nissa Finney, Stephen Jivraj•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2013•Cited by: 17•References: 21

    The community cohesion agenda in Britain has focused attention on the ethnic character of neighbourhoods and how population change affects cohesion. This paper examines the relationship between neighbourhood ethnic group population change and belonging. The paper measures population change as immigration, gross internal migration and with a categorisation of ethnic group population dynamics that combines migration and natural change. Pooled 2005 …

    Gemma Catney, Nissa Finney•BOOK•Minority Internal Migration in…•2016

    Migration scholarship is dominated by studies of international human mobility. The investigation of internal mobility of immigrants remains a low priority among students of migration (Ram and Shin 1999: 150). And while the theoretical divide between international and internal migration is known (Skeldon 2006), the volume of internal migration is unquestionably larger than that of the international movements (see, for example, Deshingkar (2006), S…

    Open Access•Kitty Lymperopoulou, Nissa Finney•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2017•Cited by: 6•References: 28

    This paper explores the changing geography of ethnic inequality in England and Wales drawing on data from the 2001 and 2011 censuses. Specifically, we use the 2011 Office for National Statistics (ONS) area classification to examine how ethnic inequalities within local areas with different demographic and socio-economic characteristics have changed over time. Local ethnic inequalities are examined through a set of indicators which capture differen…

  • Cities’ attraction and retention of graduates: A more-than-economic approach

    Lena Imeraj, Didier Willaert et al.•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2017•Cited by: 9•References: 2

    In skilled migration research, the role of the study location in graduates’ residential behaviour remains unclear. This paper addresses this lacuna by examining the attractiveness and retention of higher education cities for local attendants in the period after study, using Belgium as an empirical case study. Drawing on a unique linkage of census and register data for 1991–2010, logistic and Cox regressions illustrate the relative success of smal…

    With the proportion of older adults in Europe expected to grow significantly over the next few decades, a number of pertinent questions are raised about the socio-spatial processes that underlie residential age segregation, especially in circumstances wher

  • Is migration in later life good for wellbeing? A longitudinal study of ageing and selectivity of internal migration

    Open Access•Nissa Finney, Alan Marshall•ARTICLE•Area•2018•Cited by: 3•References: 24

    Migration scholarship has recently paid attention to lifecourse and non‐economic effects of moving house. Yet consideration of the effects of internal migration in later life has been relatively neglected despite their implications for social and spatial inequalities. Thus we address two questions: how trajectories of wellbeing in later life vary for movers and non‐movers, and how the event of moving affects wellbeing. In both cases we distinguis…

  • Slippery discrimination: A review of the drivers of migrant and minority housing disadvantage

    Open Access•Sue Lukes, Nigel De Noronha et al.•ARTICLE•New Community•2019

    This paper aims to identify housing disadvantages faced by migrants and ethnic minorities; the legal, policy and market forces that shape them; how they have developed over time; how they are manifest nationally and locally; and how they are being responded to locally by those concerned with mitigating them. The paper thereby intends to provide a foundation to inform future research and policy and to engage with local actors to develop ways of ov…

    Open Access•Geneviève Cézard, Nissa Finney et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2020•References: 14

    This study investigates ethnic differences in self‐assessed health in Scotland and their determinants, focusing on socio‐economic status and migrant generations. We use the Scottish Health and Ethnicity Linkage Study (SHELS) and apply regression analysis to data for 4.6 million people. The analysis shows that the White British, Other White and Chinese groups reported better health than the White Scottish population, whereas Pakistani and Indian p…
