Nonetheless, some migrants do choose smaller towns, even in Central and Eastern Europe, where many countries have only just acquired net immigration. Based on 38 interviews with migrants from different countries in two Polish towns, the article presents migrants' perceptions about the benefits of smallness, particularly the quality of social relations, and the suitability of small locations for people like them. Despite being labour migrants and refugees, many self-identified as people who chose a small-town lifestyle, also invoking identity factors such as age and parental status to back up their claims that the towns were just right for people like themselves. Interviewees compared their home locations in the sending and receiving countries, engaging in ‘elastic geography’ to assert and sometimes exaggerate similarities in population size. Place attachment is a process, and the study showed how some participants—particularly middle-aged parents—increasingly identified with the small town in Poland and actively ‘made it their own’.</p>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp.70340","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148499150","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}

Drawing on an adapted Chi–Ventura framework, Classification and Regression Trees (C&RT) were applied to detect patterns indicative of diverging long-term demographic trajectories. The analysis identifies configurations of conditions associated with population decline, stability, and growth. Population decline was the overwhelmingly dominant trajectory across the study period. Agricultural dependence in 1950 emerged as the decisive determinant: villages where the majority of residents relied on farming were highly likely to depopulate, an effect reinforced by population ageing, poor housing infrastructure, and limited accessibility to large urban centres. Growth occurred only in settlements where a more diversified economic base, younger age profiles, better housing, and stronger urban connectivity were jointly present. The study concludes that long-term population decline in peripheral rural areas is strongly path-dependent and rooted in historically inherited economic and demographic structures. Infrastructure improvements may mitigate the decline but are often insufficient on their own to reverse it, highlighting the need for territorially sensitive policies that account for local demographic, economic, and spatial conditions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148467132","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 focus group discussions with 45 higher socio-economic status older adults in Singapore, this paper develops the concept of networked privilege to examine how accumulated economic, social and cultural capital shapes network formation, aspiration and place-making in later life. We engage critically with Ho et al.‘s (2024) framework of 'ageing in networks', arguing that its emphasis on older adults’ agency and unbounded geographies rests on what we term the fallacy of universal agency—the mistaken assumption that the capacity to build and sustain meaningful networks is equally available to all older adults regardless of structural position. Through three dimensions of networked privilege—aspirations, friendship and place-making, we show how advantage is enacted and reproduced by relational configurations that appear to result from individual choice but reflect class-based positioning shaped by Singapore's meritocratic habitus. We further demonstrate how even well-resourced older adults face persistent vulnerabilities that networked privilege can defer but never fully resolve, pointing towards the fundamental interdependencies that characterise human ageing across class positions. The paper argues that a genuinely caring approach to ageing policy must move beyond the promotion of individual resilience towards what Tronto (2013) terms 'caring with' that attends to care as a collective, political and redistributive project rather than a matter of individual responsibility or market provisioning.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148499181","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}

In this context, migration has become an increasingly important driver of population change and its spatial distribution. While several studies have examined the impact of population ageing on overall migration intensities, far fewer have investigated how regional population ageing affects spatial patterns of internal migration. Using data for 400 German districts, we employ a decomposition analysis to disentangle how shifts in age composition and age-specific migration behaviour have shaped migration flows across the urban–rural continuum from 1991 to 2024. Our findings indicate that changing spatial patterns of internal migration have been driven by behavioural shifts, particularly among young adults. However, shifts in age composition have become more important in recent years. In particular, the decrease in migration to large cities since 2011 is largely due to population ageing in urban, intermediate and rural counties.</p>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp.70325","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148429184","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}

While this territorial reorganisation aims to foster integrated regional development, its profound sociodemographic consequences, particularly on the settlement decisions of the massive migrants, remain a critical yet under-explored area. This study examines whether and how the CCM reform, which converts counties into urban districts, affects migrants’ settlement intention. Employing a quasi-experimental design and data from the China Migrant Dynamic Monitoring Survey (2010–2018) merged with county-level statistics, we identify a robust positive causal effect of CCM on migrants’ settlement intention and identity recognition. Our mechanism analyses reveal that the policy operates through three channels: by expanding housing supply and improving affordability, by creating higher-quality employment opportunities, and by enhancing the accessibility and quality of public services, especially in education and transportation. Furthermore, heterogeneity analyses indicate that the effect is more pronounced for migrants in economically developed regions, those with agricultural household registration (hukou), and highly educated individuals. The research underscores that administrative restructuring is not merely a geopolitical adjustment but a powerful instrument that can reshape migrants’ life trajectories by lowering institutional and economic barriers to urban integration. These findings offer significant implications for designing more inclusive and sustainable urbanisation policies in China and other economies undergoing state-led urban transformation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48067,"journal":{"name":"Population Space and Place","volume":"32 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148466845","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}
