This paper examines the evolution of migrant integration efforts at both the national and sub‐national levels in Poland. While existing scholarship has largely emphasised the ‘local turn’—that is, the growing role of municipalities in migrant integration—this study highlights the often‐overlooked regional level within a multi‐level governance framework. Drawing on a mixed‐method approach and focusing on two regions (Lodz and Silesia), it analyses how humanitarian responses to refugee inflows evolved into broader integration policies. It shows that once refugee inflows stabilised, sub‐national authorities' expectations regarding responsibility for integration policy shifted back towards national authorities. This dynamic illustrates a ‘vicious circle’ of migrant integration policymaking, marked by shifts from centralised governance to decoupling, and then back again. The uneven pace and divergent strategies across Polish regions reveal how weak coordination generates inconsistencies in migrant support, potentially undermining their effective integration.","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286237","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}

{"title":"Postmigrant Societies in Times of Polarisation: Agency, Belonging and Resilience","authors":"Hooshmand Alizadeh,&nbsp;Tabea Bork-Hüffer","doi":"10.1002/psp.70282","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/psp.70282","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In the current socio-political landscape of Central Europe, the ‘postmigration’ condition is marked by tensions between the structural recognition of migration and intensifying communicative polarisation, politically mobilised by nativist movements. This article argues that the analytical paradigms of both ‘integration’ and, more recently, ‘inclusion’ used in population geography and migration studies, are inadequate for capturing the complex, conflictual dynamics of these societies. Although ‘inclusion’ ostensibly aims to promote social cohesion, like ‘integration’ it often operates as a top-down governance strategy that reinforces entrenched power relations, reproduces colonial hierarchies, and frames migrants as passive subjects marked by deficit. Drawing on the socio-spatial contexts of Germany and Austria, we propose a conceptual shift towards a tripartite framework of <i>agency</i>, <i>belonging</i>, and <i>resilience</i>. Synthesising de Haas's aspirations-capabilities model, Katz's topography of resistance, and Bork-Hüffer et al.'s dialectics of space and agency, we reconceptualise differently positioned populations in postmigrant societies as political subjects actively navigating uneven power geometries. We distinguish between acts of resilience, reworking, and resistance, showing how diverse population groups – from the multi-generational ‘postmigrant generation’ to newly arrived refugees – mobilise practices of survival, negotiation, creation, and transformation to modify and ‘make’ space. We argue that polarisation should not be understood as an external shock, but as a communicative intensification and political mobilisation of ongoing negotiations over plurality – albeit with tangible consequences for differently positioned populations. Addressing these consequences requires moving beyond a passive logic of inclusion toward engagement with the active spatial politics of refusal and ‘worlding’. In doing so, the article contributes to a postmigrant population geography that foregrounds the active spatial politics through which differently positioned groups negotiate, contest, and remake plural societies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148086246","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}

Based on the China Migrants Dynamic Survey (2017–2018), this study investigates the spatial patterns of talent migration across urban hierarchy and examines the effect of housing pressure on cross-hierarchical mobility. The results show that talent migration exhibits an upward pattern across the urban hierarchy, with skilled workers moving towards higher-tier cities. Migration flows are concentrated within urban agglomeration areas and are largely intra-provincial, with a tendency to converge on provincial capitals and regional centre cities. Third, housing pressure exerts an inverted U-shaped effect on cross-hierarchical talent migration, indicating that moderate housing costs stimulate upward mobility while excessive pressure suppresses it. Moreover, highly educated and skilled migrants are disproportionately sensitive to housing pressure, reflecting their stronger propensity to pursue homeownership. These findings suggest the need for regionally differentiated policies that simultaneously address housing affordability and invest in human capital to facilitate talent mobility.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148086251","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}

Research has demonstrated that historically older people age in place within kin networks, typically in multi-generational households, which are integral to their ageing experiences, such as through intergenerational contracts obliging younger generations to look after their older relatives. However, recent social policy favours aiding individuals experiencing poverty, including older people, with social cash transfers (SCTs) such as old age pensions. This paper explores the social and spatial impacts of pension payments on older people's care networks. In-depth participatory research undertaken in one rural community in Lesotho reveals the myriad interconnected and relational flows of cash transfers. We argue that SCT pension payments transform the position of older people within their social networks and transform interdependent communities spatially through their wider dispersal. The paper thus shows how the flow of pensions is changing socio-spatial care relations and re-positioning older people as economic contributors in their communities.</p>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp.70281","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148086250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Less is known about what happens to the SSNs of older people when they migrate, and even fewer studies have examined the impact of different forms of capital on these networks. Drawing on ethnographic interviews and participant observation with 22 older Vietnamese migrants in Australia (2020–21), this paper explores the influence of different forms of social, cultural, economic and symbolic capital on their SSNs. Data analysis comprised egocentric social network analysis of the connections between older migrants (egos), members of their SSNs (nodes) and their social ties (edges), alongside thematic analysis of their lived experiences using NVivo 12 systematic coding. Findings reveal close connections between various forms of capital and the creation, maintenance and disruption of four types of SSNs: local (physical proximate), distant (geographically distant), local virtual (geographically close but online) and distant virtual (geographically distant and online). The conclusion highlights the importance of developing policies that consider the interconnections between different forms of capital and types of SSNs to deepen our understanding of ‘ageing in place’ and ‘ageing in networks’.</p>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp.70285","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148083121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using nine waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2006–2022), this study employs a dynamic panel event study design to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of family relocation following a parent's first diagnosis of chronic illness. We analyze how distinct care trajectories of cancer, cerebrovascular disease, and cardiovascular disease, alongside the gender of adult children, shape these spatial adjustments. The results indicate that health shocks serve as a driver for spatial convergence, suggesting that formal care through the universal Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) complements rather than crowds out family support. However, relocation patterns exhibit significant heterogeneity by disease type. Acute circulatory conditions (cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases) prompt an immediate but short-term spatial response, whereas cancer leads to a delayed and sustained restructuring process. Furthermore, we find a shifting ‘geography of care’ in Korea: contrary to traditional male-centered norms, daughters have emerged as the primary agents of sustained spatial support.

One key driver of this complexity and uncertainty is the autonomous agency of the actors involved, particularly the decision-making processes of potential migrants. Most theories and models rely on simplistic decision rules or a decision-making process that assumes rational agents. However, a considerable body of research in psychology and behavioural economics raises doubts about such assumptions. To inform the description of migration decision processes, we elicited and compared non-parametric utility functions for both finance and international migration decisions. This allowed us to directly test, using individual-level experimental data, whether the aspects of prospect theory that are commonly found in utility functions elicited within a financial context are also present for migration decisions. Across both financial and migration-related contexts, we found that participants were generally loss-averse and their utility functions were concave in the domain of gains. However, findings for convexity in the domain of losses were mixed. This evidence of loss aversion, risk aversion, and diminished sensitivity further from the reference point suggests that migration decision-making is more consistent with the key tenets of prospect theory than with expected utility.</p>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp.70283","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148077097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper collection opens with two papers on international migrants and their fertility behaviours during the migration process and after arrival in European destination countries, with a focus on refugees. A second pair of papers focuses on fertility preferences among international migrants in specific vulnerable situations, namely uncertainty after war and in situations of economic and geopolitical instability. Finally, a third set of articles examines ethnic minority groups in two major countries bordering the European Union, exploring how their fertility outcomes relate to various external factors. In both contexts, minority status and ethnic marginalisation are intensified because these groups face particularly vulnerable situations due to external crises or political measures.
