The participants' migration decisions revealed six sub-themes and two main themes. Perceptions of the participants regarding their immigrant woman identities resulted in also five sub-themes and five sub-themes. Based on our findings, understanding the migration decisions and experiences of Turkish-origin women living abroad can contribute to a better comprehension of migration policies and society from a gender perspective.

{"title":"How expected party affiliation influences attitudes toward immigrants? Experimental evidence from the United States","authors":"Enes Ayasli","doi":"10.1111/imig.13319","DOIUrl":"10.1111/imig.13319","url":null,"abstract":"<p>What explains natives' attitudes towards immigrants in host countries? This paper argues that not only economic and cultural but also political threat perceptions influence attitude formation. Natives consider the political balance of power and calculate the potential political benefits of admitting immigrants. This is because expected in-party members will affect the balance of power in their favour. Leveraging a conjoint experiment in the United States, this study explores whether an immigrant's expected party affiliation shapes native attitudes. The findings indicate that immigrants with defined party affiliations are favoured compared to non-affiliated ones. Moreover, respondents favoured immigrants perceived as political allies and penalized those seen as rivals. Expected party affiliation is even a strong predictor of attitudes for natives with existing anti-immigrant attitudes as they curbed their negativities and favoured certain party identities. Overall, results suggest the pivotal role of political considerations as well as the importance of studying unexplored factors in attitude formation on immigration.</p>","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"62 6","pages":"158-174"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141899401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings underscore different benefits of using migrant networks, highlighting their role in providing crucial support as well as increasing safety and supporting migrants' well-being. Moreover, the shared identity forged through these networks enhances migrants' resilience, empowering migrants to navigate challenges more effectively.

However, most research focuses on those approaching or soon after retirement, e.g. in their 60s. Less is known about how return, and indeed non‐return, decision‐making evolves in later years, with calls for more research on migrants in the old‐old age groups. Moreover, there are indications that women migrants may be less inclined to return than their male counterparts. Our article seeks to advance understanding in this area of research by drawing upon rich qualitative data from Irish women migrants, who worked as nurses in Britain and are now entering older age, e.g. 70s–80s. Many simply asserted that they could not leave their adult children and grandchildren. However, using the embedding framework, through a life course lens, we argue that non‐return may reflect complex processes of disembedding and non‐belonging in the origin country – which are less easy to articulate.","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141880322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have hinted at the potential ‘dark side’ to personal networks for returnees, but no research has explored how different types of positive and negative ties impact return experiences. To address this gap, the study collected personal network data from 69 returning migrants in Hungary and analysed the effects of social support, relational negativity, and ambivalence on their self‐evaluated return experience score. The findings reveal that migrants' return experiences are significantly influenced by both relational positivity and negativity, affected by factors such as relational context, emotional closeness, geographical location, and social status. Particularly, relationships with family members and romantic partners are susceptible to relational negativity, which can adversely affect return experiences.","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141880323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use microdata from the Spanish Labour Force Survey (2000–2022) to study the risk for migrant and native children of living in a household with no working adults. We hypothesize that the assimilation of the immigrant population—after more than two decades in the country—might have contributed to reducing the impact of the COVID-19 crisis. Results show that the 2008 crisis substantially increased the gap between migrant and native children, while the impact of the pandemic has been milder. Moreover, social origin has a stronger protective effect for native children compared with children with a migrant background, especially during periods of economic downturn. However, we find that among children of low social origin, migrant children are less likely to live in a household with no working adults.</p>","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"62 5","pages":"254-269"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imig.13310","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141857772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Deploying an ageing-astute lens in migration studies: Current research and future directions","authors":"Alistair Hunter,&nbsp;Sandra Torres","doi":"10.1111/imig.13301","DOIUrl":"10.1111/imig.13301","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;In respect of international migration, some 281 million people were estimated to live outside their country of origin as of 2020, roughly equivalent to the population of Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country (UNDESA, &lt;span&gt;2020b&lt;/span&gt;). Bringing both demographic drivers into focus, 9.3% of the global population are aged over 65, yet migrants aged 65+ comprise 12.3% of the world's international migrant stock (equivalent to 34 million people) (Kelley et al., &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;). According to a joint report by the OECD and European Commission, ‘elderly migrants are a growing group of concern (…) Foreign-born populations are getting older in most OECD and EU countries’ (OECD/European Commission, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;: 152; see also Fargues, this issue, for a detailed discussion on similar trends in the MENA region).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As with population trends, so with research trends. Academic interest in the intersection of migration and ageing has grown considerably since scholars first began to explore this terrain in the late 1990s and early 2000s (Sayad, &lt;span&gt;2001&lt;/span&gt;; Warnes et al., &lt;span&gt;2004&lt;/span&gt;), part of a broader recognition of the diversification and globalisation of international migration at this time, as exemplified in the leading textbook &lt;i&gt;The Age of Migration&lt;/i&gt;, now in its sixth edition (de Haas et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). The commission by Edward Elgar Press of the &lt;i&gt;Handbook on Migration and Ageing&lt;/i&gt;, which we co-edited (Torres &amp; Hunter, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;), is validation that research at the intersection of migration and ageing is by now sufficiently consolidated to warrant its first reference work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In organising and structuring the handbook, we departed from the ageing-migration nexus framework proposed by King et al. (&lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;). A nexus approach proposes a holistic view of ageing and migration as ‘entwined trajectories’ (ibid: 182), expanding the range of actors who are implicated in this field beyond the purview of older migrants per se, notwithstanding the heterogeneity observed in these populations. Thus, the ageing-migration nexus also draws attention to, for example, older people ‘left behind’ by migrating family members (Lenoël, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;), as well as the large proportion of migrant workers (often female) employed in the eldercare industry in countries of the Global North (Amrith, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our entry point is to present the key concepts within migration studies and gerontology that form the basis for scholarship at the intersection of ageing and migration. The notion of the life course is central here, and gerontologists Katz and Grenier (&lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;: 14) argue that ‘life course research advances studies of migration and ageing by illustrating how human stories and their varying pathways are situated across multiple places and points in time’, thereby offering a corrective to long-held assumptions (in policy circles and public discourse more widely) that migrati","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"62 4","pages":"296-300"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imig.13301","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141857770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
