This argument is presented in two main parts.In the first part, it is argued that within a global discourse of increasing human capital for competitive advantage, skilled migration that follows international education – known as two-step migration – has been used by governments as a human capacity building strategy. In government-commissioned reports and studies, the dominant use of economic frameworks describes two-step migrants as rational choice makers. Such approaches produce the effect of disembodying transnational mobilities as homogeneous ‘brain flows’ across borders. However, migrants have their own pursuits and experience circumstances in relation to socio-economic, political, and cultural influences that affect their subjectivities in transnational mobilities. By building on extant research on transnationalism in the latter part of this article, this article acknowledges the embodiment of transnational mobilities through the relational aspects of migrants’ everyday lives, from forming decisions to migrate, to relocating to the host society and planning for the future. In this sense,the relationality of transnational mobilities can be theorised through skilled migrants’ engagement with the world across multiple spaces and temporalities.","PeriodicalId":74195,"journal":{"name":"Migration and development","volume":"11 1","pages":"191 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21632324.2020.1742986","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47814998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These policies often call for the participation of migrant organizations, but it is unclear how the outreach affects the groups or whether space is created for migrants to exercise agency. I engage these questions through analysis of Mexico’s migrant-centred 3x1 Program for community development, examining the institutionalization of the policy and the experiences of established migrant organizations. Two broad trends emerge: First, bureaucratization of the program at the federal level has strained the capacity of participating migrant groups, which are volunteer-managed clubs not professional NGOs. They have been forced to find informal workarounds and rely on help from government officials, which has the potential to tokenize their participation. Second, however, I find that established migrant organizations have nonetheless continued a pattern of mediated empowerment. They are interdependent with the state government and constrained in some ways, but they also are able to build and exercise agency to influence how diaspora policy is enacted in their origin areas. I conclude that the proliferation of diaspora policies is a mixed bag for migrant organizations, with the potential both to empower and to marginalize them.","PeriodicalId":74195,"journal":{"name":"Migration and development","volume":"9 1","pages":"447 - 466"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21632324.2020.1746022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41995070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to understand the climate-induced migration-related issues in the coastal areas of Chittagong. A total of 120 individual surveys and six key informant interviews were done in six unions of Banshkhali Upazila in Chittagong district. The result showed that agriculture and fishing practices are reducing compared to the past and people are more interested in migrating abroad. Among the six villages, the highest percentage of migration was found to be from the areas closer to the coast compared to others. Despite less awareness on climate change terms, most of the respondents have positively replied to the changes in the frequencies of climatic hazards. Several forms of driver, e.g. environmental, social and political are also discussed. The linear regression showed that the factors which positively influence the peoples’ decision to migrate are average family age and social status. The dependency on agriculture, business near coast and fishing has a coefficient of −0.18, −0.36 and −0.24, respectively. Identification of community-based needs is important to ensure safe migration as an adaptation against climate change.","PeriodicalId":74195,"journal":{"name":"Migration and development","volume":"11 1","pages":"142 - 162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21632324.2020.1742504","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44355691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper attempts to address this knowledge gap by examining the experiences of highly skilled migrant women working in the Persian Gulf monarchy of Qatar. Drawing on in-depth interviews with a sample of highly skilled migrants in Qatar, the paper examines the experiences of highly skilled migrant women in the Gulf in order to understand how their experiences compare with male counterparts, and the ways in which these experiences are gendered as a result of marital and family status. It also examines how the kafala labor sponsorship system differentially conditions highly skilled female versus male labor market participation, thereby producing very different professional and personal migration experiences. Finally, the paper highlights the importance of intersectionality on migrants’ lived experiences, as it finds that social, cultural, national, and geographical categories are important when thinking about the mobility of highly skilled women.","PeriodicalId":74195,"journal":{"name":"Migration and development","volume":"9 1","pages":"369 - 389"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21632324.2020.1723216","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46502870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, the paper uses the two rounds of India Human Development Survey conducted in the year 2004–2005 and 2011–2012. To account for the endogeneity of the number of migrants, the paper estimates the Two-Stage Residual Inclusion model. Here, initially the number of migrants are modelled using the negative binomial regression and then the residuals from this regression along with the original explanatory variables are included in the second-stage regression for the remittances. The results show that the number of migrants is endogenous and positively affects the total remittances received by the urban households. However, for rural households, there is no relation between the number of migrants and remittances. The findings also indicate the presence of altruism behind remittances for both rural and urban households. Along with this, some evidence of inheritance and insurance motives is also observed for rural and urban households, respectively.","PeriodicalId":74195,"journal":{"name":"Migration and development","volume":"11 1","pages":"101 - 125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21632324.2020.1719692","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48048145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicate that gender and racial identity are significantly related to intermarriage for this group of immigrants. Interestingly, the immigrants’ socioeconomic status and family’s social class have a very minimal impact on intermarriage. Using Cuban white, Cuban Hispanic and Caribbean black as racial categories, the study shows that Caribbean black men are the least likely group to intermarry, and Cuban white men are the most likely to intermarry. Cuban Hispanic men are less likely to intermarry compared to their Cuban white counterparts. Lastly, Cuban white women are the most likely to intermarrycompared to Cuban white males for this sample population. A structural explanation for these patterns posits that differences in the relative size of each racial group in marriage markets affect their chances for intermarriage. From an assimilation perspective, the literature also suggests that differences in social distance with whites influence the propensity for co-ethnic intermarriage.","PeriodicalId":74195,"journal":{"name":"Migration and development","volume":"58 1","pages":"40 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21632324.2019.1697496","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60232592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2019, the assumptions that underlie these acts of’codevelopment’, are still central to migration policies formulated by the European Union and many of its member states. This article compares three major European host-countries’ government support to Moroccan French, German and Dutch returnee entrepreneurs. How justifiable, efficient and effective are the different remigrant entrepreneur support strategies? This is discussed from the period ‘guestworkers’ started to arrive in the late 1960s onwards. The focus is on the codevelopment discussions that evolved as of the early 1990s. The objective is to identify strategies in returnee entrepreneurs support that have made significant contributions to remigrant entrepreneurship and development.The information collected in this study suggests that, next to the limited economic impact of most returnee entrepreneurs despite financial support and training, difficulties in cultural ‘re-embedding’ constrain their social ‘rerooting’ in Moroccan society.","PeriodicalId":74195,"journal":{"name":"Migration and development","volume":"10 1","pages":"42 - 67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21632324.2019.1684043","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48310489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
