The Welfare State as Safety Net in Migration Preferences: Empirical Evidence from an Experiment Among Dutch Master Students
The welfare state can be perceived as a safety net which helps individuals adjust to situations of risk or transition. Starting from this idea of the welfare state as safety net, this study addresses whether and how welfare generosity may influence people’s willingness to migrate. In doing so, we distinguish between two potential mechanisms, innovatively focusing on welfare provisions in both the country of origin and destination. First, a genero…
International student mobility and labour market outcomes: An investigation of the role of level of study, type of mobility, and international prestige hierarchies
Over the last decades, there has been increasing interest in the topic of international student mobility (ISM). However, there is surprisingly little analysis of the ways in which different characteristics and types of short-term ISM or the importance of host education systems and labour markets may affect early career outcomes of formerly mobile graduates. Therefore, in this study we explore, first, the relationship between participation in ISM …
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 …
African transnational families: Cross‐country and gendered comparisons
Studies indicated differences between transnational family life for migrant mothers and fathers and that the effects on their “left‐behind” children differ according to who migrates. Yet little is known about why these differences exist. This paper aims to fill this gap by comparing transnational and nontransnational African families with parents living in Europe to understand their different family structures. We analyse three datasets with info…
Regional Diffusion of Divorce in Turkey
While demographic change has been well documented for many Western countries, much less is known about demographic transitions in other countries, including Turkey. Demographic change in European societies can be characterized by, amongst others, increased prevalence of divorce. Although it is often argued that life courses in Turkey follow a more traditional path, little is known on determinants and patterns of divorce, despite the major socioec…
Relationship Trajectories, Living Arrangements, and International Migration Among Ghanaians
Despite the linked nature of life events, the existing literature mainly analyses union formation, living arrangements, and international migration separately. In this paper we explore how Ghanaian couples' relationship trajectories are related to international migration. Data come from the Migration between Africa and Europe‐Ghana survey ( n = 868) and capture unique retrospective life histories of Ghanaians between age 21 and 35 (migrants and n…
Transnational relationships and reunification: Ghanaian couples between Ghana and Europe
The ability of couples to migrate together or to reunify in the destination country is increasingly limited because family reunification laws are becoming more stringent, especially for those moving from the Global South to the North. However, little is kn
Transnational Families between Africa and Europe
This paper provides a descriptive and comparative analysis of transnational families with members located in Africa and Europe. It is thus far the only quantitative study, to our knowledge, that includes crosscountry comparisons and focuses on the African European context. By comparing both countries of origin and destination, differences in family arrangements are found among Ghana, Senegal, and the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as within…
Reunifying versus Living Apart Together across Borders: A Comparative Analysis of sub-Saharan Migration to Europe
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 …
La migration internationale est-elle un facteur de divorce ? Les couples ghanéens au Ghana et à l'étranger
Cet article examine les effets de la migration internationale sur la probabilité de divorce parmi les couples ghanéens interrogés en 2009. Les couples ayant migré ensemble et les couples dont le mari ou la femme ont migré seuls sont comparés aux couples n'ayant aucune expérience de migration. La relation entre migration et divorce est replacée dans son contexte à l'aide des connaissances anthropologiques sur les relations conjugales au Ghana. Les…
Can Migratory Contacts and Remittances Contribute to Reconciliation and Reconstruction in Rwanda
Migratory contacts may have a positive or a negative influence on local processes of reconciliation and reconstruction. However, their impact on individual attitudinal and behavioural attributes remains a largely underexposed topic. Migrants from post‐conflict Rwanda maintain substantive contacts with their relatives through social networks and the resources that they send. Reconstruction and reconciliation programmes in post‐conflict Rwanda heav…
