Using the southern Shaanxi migration project as a case study, the largest state-led population relocation project since the foundation of the People's Republic of China, we highlight three main findings. First, while the project has successfully contributed to ecological restoration and poverty alleviation, it has inadvertently created a passive form of migration infrastructural injustice, resulting in structural fragmentation of migrant families, dysfunctional family dynamics, and unequal intergenerational relationships. Second, although middle-aged and older-adult migrants and female migrants are the most vulnerable to infrastructural injustice, they demonstrate infrastructural agency by negotiating and responding to injustices through relational and collectivist approaches. Third, Confucian ethics function as a unique mediator, simultaneously complicit in infrastructural injustice yet capable of mitigating its effects by regulating and reshaping the nature of infrastructure. Finally, we call for situating infrastructural injustice within different cultural paradigms to demonstrate subjective responses that may contradict objective perceptions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143555022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine the migration patterns of 9066 individuals from 2507 households in rural Northwest Cambodia, distinguishing between internal migration within Cambodia and international migration to Thailand. We find that individuals from households with fewer resources, such as education, income, and land ownership, tend to migrate to Thailand, while those with more resources prefer internal migration within Cambodia. To deepen our contextual analysis of large-scale census data, we utilise 122 photos and stories related to the census data collection. Our findings indicate that members of low-resource households prioritise work in Thailand because it is geographically closer than the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh; it offers relatively higher monetary returns (around USD$12/day vs. $7.5/day in Cambodia); and migration is enabled by leaving children in Cambodia to be raised by grandparents. In contrast, members of high-resource households prioritise internal migration because Thai language requirements exclude them from primary labour sector jobs in Thailand, they can access family and manage care of children more easily, and they are able to maintain their social status and social networks.

While some of the causes are longstanding, the crisis comes at a time of very high population growth driven by record high net immigration. This paper considers what the underlying demographic demand for housing, as expressed by the number of households, is likely to be over the next few years and then further ahead out to 2041. Particular attention is paid to the 2024–29 period because the Australian Government has announced a policy to build an additional 1.2 million new dwellings during this time. Using an updated version of the sequential propensity household projection model, household projections for 15 major regions of Australia were prepared for the period 2021–2041. Projected growth in the number of households was decomposed to reveal the contributions of various demographic and living arrangement drivers of growth. Alternative futures were considered using scenarios which take into account possible variations in both population and household variables. The projection results demonstrate the dominance of population growth in increasing household numbers, with additional growth contributed by population age structure change, while likely living arrangement trends will operate to dampen growth. Even considering alternative high growth futures, household growth over the 2024–29 period at the national scale is likely to be lower than 1.2 million. However, growth will vary considerably across the 15 regions, underscoring the need for housing supply to match geographical variations in household growth.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many studies to date looked into various aspects of internal migration patterns after the pandemic outbreak. However, little research has been focused on the area of Central and Eastern Europe. The aim of the paper is to empirically examine the quantitative perspective of registered inter-municipal migrations in Poland between 2017 and 2023. Specifically, the study sought to determine how the scale and directions of internal migrations in Poland changed across three distinct periods: (1) pre-pandemic (2017–2019); (2) during the initial COVID-19 response (2020); (3) post-restrictions period (2021–2023). We ask to what extent the dominant internal migration trends (depopulation of rural areas and growth in metropolitan areas fuelled by strong suburbanisation trends) were affected during COVID-19 compared to preceding years. We examine this through analysis of migration intensity, net-migration rates and the predominance of urban and rural origins and destinations, using population register data on annual flows between municipalities. We discover that the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a decrease of migration intensity in 2020 as well as in the following years compared to 2017–2019, with lower net-migration rates in suburban areas and greater in non-metropolitan peripheries.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143404613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combining forced migration research with existing scholarship on academic mobility, it tracks scholars’ long journeys to their places of asylum, distinguishing two principal academic trajectories undertaken by Ukrainian academics: continuing to work remotely for Ukrainian institutions and seeking academic positions abroad.

Data from a population-based survey carried out among adults in Finnmark aged 30–62 years in 1987/88 was linked to the National Population Register and the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry to identify migration and deaths from recruitment to the health survey up to December 2017. Flexible parametric survival models were used to examine the age-varying associations between different migration careers and mortality. For both men and women, the estimated mortality risk was lower for all internal migrant groups when compared to stayers. However, for men, the findings only applied to ages under 85 years for rural migrants, 81 years for urban migrants, and 71 years for returners, while for women, the findings applied to ages under 75 years for rural migrants, 78 years for urban migrants, and the age range 46–86 years for returners.
