Time will tell: Ghanaian stayer youth's changing family reunification aspirations
Stayer youth are common in Global South settings, as parents migrate in pursuit of improved opportunities. Research on the migration aspirations of stayer youth mainly relies on cross-sectional data, treats migration aspirations as static and groups different kinds of aspirations under one category. This limits an understanding of how stayer youth’s aspirations, and specifically their aspirations to reunite with their parents, change over time an…
Decoding the Logics behind the Demolition and Redevelopment of Agbogbloshie Scrapyard, Accra, Ghana
Grounded in the theoretical lens of urban revanchism (Smith, 1996), this inquiry sheds light on the continuous marginalization of informal e-waste workers by revanchist forces in emerging economies like Ghana. Urban revanchism refers to the forceful reclamation of urban spaces from specific marginalized groups. Delving into the logics and initiatives underpinning the forced expulsion of informal e-waste workers in Accra—where the informal sector …
Transnational migrants' philanthropy: Its forms, operations, and implications from the perspectives of Ghanaian residents in Europe

For transnational migrant philanthropy to sustain itsel…
Overcoming interruptions in educational trajectories: Youth in Ghana with international migrant parents
Literature on the effects of parental migration on the education of children who stay at origin, what we call 'stayer' youth, mainly focuses on educational outcomes without looking at the process leading to such outcomes. This article addresses this gap by showing how the educational trajectories of stayer youth unfold. Stayer youth may encounter a range of obstacles and interruptions to their education when their parents move overseas, and we ex…
Aspiring While Waiting: Temporality and Pacing of Ghanaian Stayer Youth’s Migration Aspirations
Many youth in Global South countries, whose parents have migrated abroad while they have stayed, i.e., “stayer youth,” also aspire to migrate. While the current literature depicts stayer youth as “waiting” to emigrate, connoting passivity, recent critical youth studies suggest the importance of centring young people’s agency when focusing on their aspirations and experiences. This article investigates how stayer youth in Ghana “pace” their migrat…
