Yet, the growing trend of students seeking degrees abroad could exacerbate these inequalities, especially if the selection for international programmes is influenced by students' academic achievements, cultural and economic capital. In this study, we utilized multilevel logistic regression on extensive administrative data to analyse the characteristics of Slovak graduates in 2018 who pursued tertiary education abroad, compared to their peers who studied at home. Our findings indicate that students with high scores from final upper secondary school examinations are more likely to study abroad. Furthermore, culturally and economically advantaged students, especially those who also excel academically, are significantly more likely to opt for international studies. These insights contribute to the global discourse by highlighting that the effect of academic performance, along with cultural and economic capital, varies. The results also show that the field of study in upper secondary education influences the likelihood of studying abroad beyond these factors. Consequently, our study suggests that policies aimed at fostering international degree mobility should account for the academic, cultural and economic backgrounds of students.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145711314","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}

Drawing on an analysis of academic articles published in Chinese on the topic of <i>population ageing</i>, this article examines the scholarly use of crisis narratives, particularly in relation to labour shortages, delayed agricultural development, inadequate care facilities, pension challenges, and similar concerns.

Mostly men in their 40s−50s, they initially arrived in Korea as migrant workers and were later recognised as refugees for their political activities against the military government. When returning to Myanmar from the 2010s after the NLD (National League for Democracy) resumed power, it was difficult to find a <i>jari</i> in politics, not having ‘earned their right’ by suffering with activists who remained in Myanmar. Since they engaged in diasporic political activities instead of working, they did not return with money expected by families of migrant workers. Instead, they made alternative <i>jari</i> in education, community organisation or social enterprises through their transnational social networks and their social, political and economic remittances from Korea.

Conceptually, it argues for a geographic view of capital to foreground broader spatial hierarchies that shape the recognition and transferability of capital across borders. Empirically, it sheds light on the after-study lives of Korean student returnees from a nontraditional destination whose realities are often hidden under dominant discourses that link study abroad outcomes with capital acquired from the Anglophone West and positive return experiences. By paying attention to Korean student returnees from the Philippines—an underrepresented topic within both international student mobilities and Korean study abroad literature—the paper similarly broadens the scope for deploying comparative research on return experiences across different spatialities, deepening at the same time understanding of the complex interactions between place, space and capital within the context of study abroad.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145610868","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}

However, a number of more recent neighbourhood studies describe a host of new ethnic clusterings. These studies depict intensifying transnational ties in the immigrant neighbourhood at an unprecedented scale, however local relationships across these clusters have been difficult to analyse with ethnographic methods. I propose an update on our theoretical conception of ethnic enclaves to relate the proliferating body of enclave-esque terms within the literature. Hence, this article begins to take stock of the field and revisit our foundational definition of enclaves to start to reintegrate and synthesise this data at a larger scale of analysis. Using data from the <i>U.S. Census Bureau</i> and <i>Reference USA</i>, I employ Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping to visualise how immigrant enclaves' commercial and residential elements empirically manifest on the city's contemporary physical landscape. New York City's Chinatowns are a meso-level case study that exemplify my conception of a mutually-constituting, interdependent, <i>horizontally-networked immigrant enclave</i>. Findings show that some neighbourhoods like Flushing, Queens, retain characteristics of the classic, vertically-integrated enclave, where residential and economic spheres spatially overlap; however, in Brooklyn (residential) and Manhattan (commercial), the 'hotspots' do not overlap. Rather than considering each cluster its own enclave, I propose a <i>string of pearls</i> metaphor that connects the flows (links) of co-ethnics throughout multiple key places (nodes) within the city.

Migration theory has adopted aspirations and capability as two underpinning concepts for explaining migration. Drawing on empirical research these aspirations and capabilities are usually set within modernity and describe modernity as a <i>driver</i>, <i>condition</i> and/or <i>result</i> of migration. At the same time, another group of migration researchers aims to divest migration thinking from the shackles of modernity, pointing to the different entanglements of coloniality and migration, in terms of migration processes, the topics studied and the peopling of migration research. I call this the <i>coloniality of migration</i>, <i>coloniality in migration</i> and <i>coloniality and migration</i> respectively. These researchers argue for stepping away from modernity/coloniality, to decolonise migration research. Given the centrality of modernity to migration processes and theorisation, how do we decolonise migration theory? This paper deploys unruly modernity as a way of bringing these two perspectives together. Unruly suggests that as modernity and migration are linked, we should explore the inherent plurality of modernity through counter-hegemonic, alternative and hybrid modernities to decolonise migration theory. Unruly also points to the disruptive ways in which modernity may be lived. It thus offers us the opportunity to disorder the coloniality-modernity argument to reorder migration theory.

To understand these family changes in European and Western societies, numerous theories have emerged, accompanied by a wealth of empirical literature. However, the spatial dimension of family change is less studied than other aspects. Moreover, borders can play a role in the diffusion process by acting as barriers. Very few studies have examined the relationship between borders and the spatial diffusion of family changes. This article fills this gap by investigating the role of borders in the spatial diffusion of non-marital births between Belgium and France. The border region between these countries is a key area for analysing these relationships. Using local vital statistics data, the study compares the barrier intensity of different borders (national and linguistic) by measuring the absolute difference in non-marital birth rates. The results indicate a spatial diffusion in both countries, with borders acting as barriers. The intensity of this barrier role varies over time, peaking in the mid-1990s. The national border is a stronger barrier than the language border, with the strongest barrier being the French-Belgian border in Flanders.

A Social Integration Perspective","authors":"Linyun Zhang,&nbsp;Sheng Wang,&nbsp;Jiamin Xu,&nbsp;Wei Li","doi":"10.1002/psp.70150","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/psp.70150","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In the current knowledge economy, regional strategies increasingly emphasize the attraction and retention of talent, making the settlement intentions of highly educated migrants a central concern for research and policymaking. While existing studies have largely examined explicit individual and regional factors, the influence of implicit dimensions, such as social integration, on long-term settlement intentions remains insufficiently and systematically explored. To fill this gap, this study examines how social integration affects the settlement intentions of highly educated migrants in China. Drawing on 9202 highly educated respondents from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey, this study constructs a multidimensional index of social integration covering four dimensions: economic integration, social adaptation, behavioral adaptation, and identity recognition. It applies a binary logistic regression model, supplemented by endogeneity, robustness, and heterogeneity tests. The findings are fourfold. First, individual integration does not necessarily rise with regional economic development; in some developed advanced regions, high housing prices and living costs hinder integration. Second, regional factors such as economic development, geographic location, city size, and capital status are more strongly associated with settlement intentions than demographic characteristics or social integration. Third, among the dimensions of integration, identity recognition shows the most stable and salient association with settlement intentions, exceeding that of economic and social adaptation. Fourth, the relationship between integration and settlement intentions differs substantially across regions; in less developed areas, stronger economic integration is associated with greater mobility and lower local settlement intentions. Overall, this study deepens theoretical understanding of the relationship between social integration and settlement intentions, highlighting its contextual variations across regions. It identifies identity recognition as a core dimension and conceptualizes behavioral adaptation as a process variable. These findings offer practical implications for formulating differentiated regional talent policies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145581239","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}
