How Do Environmental Factors Influence Migration?

How Do Environmental Factors Influence Migration?

By Roman Hoffmann (Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital)
Hoffmann and colleagues at the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital conducted a meta-analysis on the relationship between environmental change and migration, finding robust evidence that environmental factors explain migration patterns.

From Undocumented Status to Legal Residence

Do personal contacts matter?
Using data from the European EQUAL project on migrants in the southern Italian region of Calabria, Cremaschi and Devillanova (Bocconi University) found that having a higher number of personal contacts increases chances of obtaining regular legal status; native and/or family contacts were associated with a much greater effect.
