We argue that employment does not affect all migrants' well-being in the same way and use the UK Annual Population Survey (2012–2022) to provide novel empirical evidence on this issue. First, we find that employment is positively associated with the SWB of work, study, and asylum migrants, but not of family migrants. This difference for family migrants is consistent with unique gendered barriers to their employment in the country. Second, the expected decline in the strength of the association between employment and SWB with length of residence is only partially observed. Study migrants show stronger associations between employment and SWB over time, which may be linked to particularly precarious transition from study to work visas that many migrants experience in the UK and in broader migration contexts. Building on these findings, we draw conceptual insights by linking these patterns to overlapping social and structural mechanisms—including labour-market conditionality, legal precarity, and domestic responsibilities—that likely sustain the observed relations between migrants' work and well-being. Together, the findings provide evidence to guide policy debates on migrants' access to, and dependence on, employment in destination countries.</p>","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"64 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imig.70189","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148174412","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}

However, how power is negotiated within MDW-employer relationships, particularly through employers' evaluations of workers' skills, remains underexamined. While existing studies suggest that certain forms of capital can empower MDWs to negotiate better treatment, employers' perspectives are underexplored. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 14 employers, this study examines how employers evaluate MDWs' human-cultural capital, with particular attention to linguistic competence and prior work experience. The findings show that strong linguistic competence and local experience are not always valued and may even be viewed as liabilities. The results offer a nuanced account of employer expectations, demonstrating how capital is selectively recognised and devalued to strategically preserve control in households. Although based solely on employers' perspectives, the study provides empirical insight into employer logics and lays the groundwork for future triangulated research.</p>","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"64 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imig.70188","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148098050","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}

Most studies assume these concerns mainly involve knowledge exchange, but less is known about how such exchanges are embedded in normative structures. This latter concept is crucial to understand how remittances reflect and even contribute to shaping social inequalities both in the region of origin and in the destination area. To further conceptualize intangible remittances in the fields of climate adaptation and environmental mobility, this paper studies the role of so‐called glocal celebrities and translocal organizations as transformative agents in transnational societies facing environmental change. Fieldwork is conducted with mobile and immobile groups in Morocco and Tenerife; including both mobile and immobile groups is needed to further assess how remittances relate to social inequalities. Findings indicate first that ‘place’ is very relevant for both mobile and immobile groups, and precisely attachment to place is crucial for understanding how people approach environmental change and want to stay informed about changes in their region of origin. Results show that knowledge exchange often occurs through glocal celebrities who can translate their ideas and knowledge sets, considering local values, social structures, and practices in the region of origin, in this case Morocco. Looking at intangible remittances from the perspective of mobile individuals and communities, the nature of the local migrant community matters for the organization of diaspora activities. Given the importance of religion in arrival structures and as a binding factor, religious organizations and key actors are found to play a crucial role in how mobile individuals approach environmental change in the region of origin.","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286251","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}

This study explores the causes, achievements, challenges and future directions related to addressing child trafficking in the country. Using a qualitative research design that combines a desk review with a phenomenological approach, the study draws on key informant interviews with 80 participants from government agencies, non‐government organisations, international bodies and affected communities. Thematic analysis revealed that poverty, limited educational opportunities, rural–urban migration and family separation are key drivers of child trafficking. Despite notable progress, such as strengthened legislation, the establishment of the Human Trafficking Secretariat and the development of the National Plan of Action, challenges persist. These include weak law enforcement, limited coordination among institutions and insufficient community‐level prevention. The study concludes that addressing child trafficking in Ghana requires sustained commitment to resource allocation, stronger enforcement mechanisms, improved institutional collaboration and survivor‐centred interventions. The findings provide a timely evidence base to inform future policy and programming aimed at eradicating child trafficking and protecting children's rights in Ghana.","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286249","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}
