Centering the narratives of refugee women, I argue that motherhood is a site for the governance of migration, where insecurities are felt and agency may be expressed. First, I illustrate the tensions between the gendered expectations on Rohingya mothers — rooted in intersecting social, cultural and familial norms — and the insecurities they face as a result of their displacement in India. These gendered expectations increase women's caregiving and social reproduction responsibilities while simultaneously limiting their mobility, access to employment, resources, and social support. Secondly, I demonstrate how Rohingya mothers continuously negotiate a sense of security for themselves and their children against the insecurities engendered by formal governance systems of the Indian State. Finally, I explore how non-state humanitarian organizations and NGOs play a crucial role in the governance of refugee women, shaping not only their access to resources and aid but also women's identities and roles as mothers. As a result, Rohingya women become key actors linking state and non-state governance to the everyday practices of motherhood.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143862887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This transnational family separation, which often lasts years, can potentially have long lasting negative consequences on migrant parents’ mental health. Qualitative research has documented that transnational parents often report feelings of guilt, sadness and loneliness due to the separation, and that financial or legal precarity can exacerbate these feelings. On the other hand, quantitative research on this topic is scarce, mostly based on relatively small samples and on cases studies of single origin groups in single destination countries, has measured transnational parents’ mental health disadvantage using less than ideal control groups, and has not investigated potential long-lasting consequences of separation after reunification. In this article, I contribute to this literature using data from the French survey Trajectoires et Origines 2 to investigate differences in propensity to have experienced depression symptoms between transnational immigrant parents, parents who migrated with their children, and immigrant parents who reunited with their children after a period of transnational separation. I additionally look at heterogeneities by gender, age of the children, legal status, employment, and partnership dissolution. I find that transnational parents have significantly worse mental health than immigrants who migrated with their children, especially when the separation involves young children. The mental health of formerly transnational parents does not differ significantly from that of parents who migrated with their children, suggesting the absence of lasting effects of separation after reunification.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143862888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little research has explored how gender differences in education for second-generation immigrants compare to the children of U.S.-born Whites over historical and contemporary time periods. Immigrants arrive with varying levels of socioeconomic status and may come from countries with paternalistic ideologies that reinforce traditional gender norms. However, immigrants also experience assimilation over time and may begin to mirror the U.S.-born in their educational outcomes by the second generation. While national trends show that women have surpassed men in years of education, we question whether immigrants will experience similar trends, or whether their outcomes will vary by national origin. We analyze newly obtainable linked census data collected from 1940 to the present, a timeline where linked data were previously unavailable, to test these ideas. These data offer insight into gendered trends in education by family background and socioeconomic status using a broader timeline than studies before. We find that while there is variation in the degree to which gender differences in education occur by ethnic origin, overall trends for immigrants are similar to those for U.S.-born Whites regardless of socioeconomic status in childhood. In the Industrial Era, men generally attained more years of schooling than women. However, there is greater gender equality and often a female advantage occurring for most groups in the post-Industrial Era. Educational trends for Blacks are an anomaly, whereby women have attained more years of schooling than men in both Eras.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143847276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings indicate that individuals experiencing health problems are more likely to expect to move domestically within the next 12 months and to take preparatory steps for international migration, such as purchasing a ticket or applying for a visa. However, health problems do not significantly correlate with general aspirations for international migration, suggesting their role is more pronounced in short-term migration expectations and concrete preparations rather than long-term migration preferences. Healthcare dissatisfaction is strongly associated with international migration aspirations but shows little association with actual preparations. It is also linked to higher expectations for (domestic) migration in the short term. Notably, the combined experience of health problems and healthcare dissatisfaction dampens the likelihood of domestic migration expectations, particularly in low-income countries, suggesting potential barriers for individuals facing dual vulnerabilities. Migration aspirations related to poor health and healthcare dissatisfaction are most pronounced among active-age, affluent, and highly educated urban residents — those with a greater “ability for migration.”","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It contributes to an area of migration research which has been under-researched, on structural processes shaping the lives of sexual and gender minorities as they seek asylum in receiving countries in the Global South. The article utilizes social integration and social inclusion concepts with intersectional analysis. The article offers rich empirical findings on social inclusion, based on Focus Group Discussions and interviews with humanitarian organizations, service providers, and refugee-led organizations. The research shows that refugees with diverse SOGIE face discrimination and threats linked to social stigma toward the LGBTIQ+ community combined with xenophobic attitudes in Indonesia. These challenges are amplified by a weak national refugee governance framework and lack of enforcement of antidiscrimination laws. The author has synthesized these findings in a system map illustrating key enablers and barriers of social inclusion to provide insights on potential levers of change. The map illuminates areas for further research and advocacy, revealing what more can be done to prioritize the agency, safety and dignity of refugees with diverse SOGIE.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143782665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Post-2000 declines in US fertility nevertheless may mask substantial—and growing—heterogeneity, especially across racial and ethnic minorities and new immigrant groups. We apply data from the June Current Population Survey to document generation-to-generation differentials in cohort completed fertility (CCF) since 2000 among America's racial and ethnic minority populations. Our regression decomposition models highlight composition and rate effects on changing levels of CCF nationally and across immigrant and native-born racial groups. CCF remained remarkably stable overall and for each racial group over the 2000-to-2020 period. The analyses nevertheless revealed small but unexpected increases in CCFs from 1.92 to 1.97 over 2000–2020. Growing diversity has, on balance, placed upward pressure on fertility. This has occurred even as fertility rates have declined overall among US racial minorities and immigrant groups since 2000. Trends in US cohort completed fertility reflect off-setting rate and composition effects across our set of explanatory variables. Any upward pressures on fertility from immigration or America's growing racial diversity has been countered by other downward pressures, especially from over-time increases in female education and declines in marriage. This paper documents recent fertility trends and differentials among different generations of racial and ethnic minority women over time. It highlights the importance of changing population composition, including the racial and generational mix of immigrants, for understanding post-2000 fertility trends. It provides an empirical baseline of fertility research in high-income countries.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"53 87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143757775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
