This article contributes to each of these bodies of literature by considering how members of different age cohorts experience, perform and represent belonging and place attachment in a regional Australian suburb undergoing significant environmental change. It presents findings from a walking ethnography, and from two community mapping workshops conducted with members of different age cohorts. We find that, in our field site, belonging is shaped by whether one is ‘born and bred’ in the suburb or is otherwise considered a ‘blow-in’, and that those who are deemed ‘locals’ are able to speak with authority on topics such as where the suburb ends, with this authority legitimated by their knowledge of place. However, we find that caring for and about the local environment allowed those who were not considered ‘locals’ to engage in a performance of belonging that provided them with a specific status and social role in the suburb. Ultimately, we highlight how care for and about the environment can provide a means for individuals to perform belonging, and, stemming from this environmental focus, we demonstrate how intergenerational belonging can extend beyond connections through families to also encompass broader intergenerational concerns.</p>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"31 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp.70100","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144929882","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}

This paper draws from the experiences of 16 displaced families of diverse ethnicities living in the UK with higher care needs related to disability, chronic illness and/or mental health, which have hitherto been overlooked. Integrating feminist ethics of care with the notion of ‘enforced transnationalism’, the analysis shows how displaced families are subjected to a <i>continuum</i> of migration, welfare, and social care policies over time which result in processes of family ‘nuclearization’ and immobility. Barriers to family visits and reunification compound limitations on welfare and social care support when families seek to fulfil transnational caring obligations. This increases the pressures on the middle and younger generations providing informal care and negatively affects families' relational wellbeing. Despite this, transnational families deploy resistance tactics through maintaining and re-building intra- and intergenerational caring relationships and values of family solidarity to live ‘care-filled lives’ in the places where they have sought sanctuary. The paper significantly deepens the theoretical and empirical scope of the concept of ‘enforced transnationalism’, bringing relational selves and care front and centre in studies of forced migration and transnational familyhood.</p>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"31 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp.70103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144935113","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}

This is particularly felt in the most diversified cities where minority groups may not have their needs catered for. This paper aims to explore the translocal halal economies that converge in the city of Lisbon and the tactics used by ordinary Muslim households to access it. Engaging with literature on cultural food adequacy, migrant infrastructures and translocalism, we argue that in this urban context—and beyond—, migrant infrastructures are a way to mobilize shared resources and overcome urban socio-spatial inequalities. Migrant infrastructures mediate religious observance and the everyday reproduction of migrant life in the city, blurring the lines between formal and informal, religious and economic, mobile and immobile. The empirical research shows, however, that access to these infrastructures is unequal creating cleavages among Muslims along the lines of purchase power, residential patterns and urban accessibility. This differentiated access to resources is also reflected in practices that create bridges linking locales across the Muslim diasporic space at different geographical scales, ranging from the local, to the regional and to the international. Thus, through translocal and transnational practices, Portugal is also being repositioned in the halal product market chain at a global scale drawing on colonial continuities and penetration into new markets.</p>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"31 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp.70098","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144927239","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}

Boelhouwer","doi":"10.1002/psp.70099","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/psp.70099","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Global metropolises, including first-tier Chinese cities, are confronting unprecedented challenges of talent exodus amid escalating housing costs, competitive job markets and deteriorating urban living conditions. Traditional migration theories fall short in explaining young talents' mobility decisions, as their high human capital drives them to prioritize multidimensional considerations beyond mere economic returns. This study develops a comprehensive theoretical framework integrating multiple aspects of prospect theory—reference dependence, loss aversion, endowment effects and risk attitudes—to investigate young talents' settlement intentions through logistic regression analysis of survey data from 1065 professionals across Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. The research reveals that migration decisions are fundamentally shaped by asymmetric psychological evaluations: young talents demonstrate heightened sensitivity to potential losses in job prospects and housing affordability. Institutional and psychological endowments significantly enhance settlement intentions: homeownership, local hukou status and public sector employment increase staying probability, along with longer duration of residence and stronger place attachment. Notably, our findings reveal nuanced suppression effects of migration-specific risk attitude on one's general risk attitude: while first-tier cities attract individuals with higher general risk tolerance who are willing to embrace urban challenges, these individuals also tend to have higher migration-specific risk tolerance, which in turn reduces their long-term settlement intention. These insights not only advance behavioural economic understanding of talent mobility in urban areas, but also provide practical guidance for metropolitan governance. Our findings suggest that effective urban talent retention requires cities to strengthen institutional ties and guarantee stable career development rather than relying primarily on economic incentives. This approach ensures cities maintain the human capital essential for innovation and competitiveness in an era of increasing inter-urban competition.</p>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"31 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp.70099","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918729","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 life-making practices of families are crucial for intergenerational well-being as well as these workers' international assignments. The familial power dynamics unfold across spaces and temporalities at various scales and reveal the work invested in creating the international and diplomatic ‘façade’. Drawing on research carried out in 2022–2023 with diplomats, representatives of international organisations and their family members from Latvia, this article examines four domains within which power dynamics operate: couple relationships; relationships with children; extended and non-kin relationships; and ‘doing family’ in broader diplomatic and international communities. Applying a family lens to such highly skilled mobilities extends critical discussions on skills and power in diplomacy and international relations – often perceived as male-dominated areas of work – and illuminates how familial relationships are contingent on making these mobilities possible over space, time, and generations.

Against the backdrop of increasingly restrictive immigration and scholarship policies limiting the presence of dependents, the study draws on narrative interviews with 40 returnees to explore how significant others influence educational decisions and trajectories. Employing a life course perspective and the concept of “linked lives”, the analysis highlights how age, gender, family status, and structural conditions intersect across temporal and spatial scales. An intersectional lens is used to interrogate how caregiving responsibilities—particularly among women—challenge dominant portrayals of international students as independent and privileged actors. Focusing on four women's stories, the article traces the emotional and practical complexities of “split migration”, revealing how academic ambitions are negotiated alongside care obligations. Their narratives illuminate both the constraints and transformative possibilities associated with transnational mobility, especially in renegotiating gender roles and family dynamics.

However, research on fertility intention is predominantly concentrated in the developed eastern regions, with limited studies focusing on the socioeconomic dynamics in the less-represented northwest, such as Gansu Province. This region, with its unique socioeconomic challenges, presents a critical case for understanding fertility intentions in China's current policy context. Based on cross-sectional data from the 2022 fertility intention survey of 79270 childbearing-age individuals in Gansu Province, the fertility intention and influencing factors of the childbearing-age population are analyzed. The study found that the fertility intention of people of childbearing-age is influenced by a combination of economic, social and demographic factors, among which economic factors are the most critical. Middle-income groups exhibit stronger fertility intentions, while both high- and low-income groups show reduced procreative preferences due to career priorities and economic constraints, respectively. Improved education levels and enhanced social security lead childbearing-age populations to prioritize personal development; however, women's fertility intentions are constrained by unemployment risks. Contrary to previous studies, this study reveals that fertility intentions increase with age, suggesting that middle-aged individuals with stable careers and incomes may represent a key target for policy interventions.

This paper uses nationally representative data for Italy from the <i>Survey on Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens</i> (2011–2012), therefore enabling to generalise findings from the sample to the national population of (regular) migrants. Results show that transnational parents are more likely to have poorer life satisfaction and mental health compared to migrants whose children are in Italy. The association remains significant even after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, time since migration, and area of origin. The well-being gap further increases if the children abroad are under 12 years old. Migrants with poor contact with their children are particularly at risk for poor mental health and low life satisfaction. The result underlines the relevance of reaffirming parental social presence to contrast the negative implications of physical distance on well-being. Importantly, the negative association between distance parenting and well-being holds not only for women, as found by previous literature, but also for men.
