Heimatüberweisungen der zweiten Generation in Europa
Migranten haben vermutlich schon immer Geld in ihre Herkunftsländer überwiesen und stellen damit in Entwicklungsländern heute die zweitgrößte Quelle finanzieller Zuflüsse dar. Heimatüberweisungen sind jedoch auch in Europa üblich. Welche Motive liegen diesem Verhalten zugrunde? Sämtliche Studien zu Heimatüberweisungen konzentrierten sich bisher auf Migranten der ersten Generation und haben die Gründe für diese Zahlungen eingehend untersucht. Tineke Fokkema, Eralba Cela und Elena Ambrosetti richten mit ihrer jüngsten Forschungsarbeit nun den Fokus auf Migranten der zweiten Generation.
Migration Becomes More Volatile

Migration Becomes More Volatile

Interview with Demographer Jakub Bijak
Population Europe: Migration is the most uncertain demographic component. Do we really know what happens to migrants in times of recession? Jakub Bijak: We know even less than during the periods of stable economy. Under any circumstances immigration is quite difficult to measure and predict, or even to define in a precise way. During the crisis the situation is even worse, as migration becomes more volatile.

International Migration Outlook 2013

Abstract and Download Details
Migration has started to pick up again, driven largely by people moving within the European Union, after three years of continuous decline during the crisis. But the employment prospects for immigrants have worsened, with around one in two unemployed immigrants in Europe still looking for work after more than 12 months, according to the new OECD report "International Migration Outlook 2013".

Exceptional People: How Migration Shaped Our World And Will Define Our Future

Abstract and Download Details
In this book, Ian Goldin, Geoffrey Cameron and Meera Balarajan explore the critical role of human migration since humans first departed Africa some fifty thousand years ago. How the circulation of ideas and technologies has benefited communities and how the movement of people across oceans and continents has fueled economies. They show that migrants in today's world connect markets, fill labor gaps, and enrich social diversity. Migration also allows individuals to escape destitution, human rights abuses, and repressive regimes.

This document highlights some of the emerging issues in policy-relevant population research in light of the fundamental demographic developments of our times. It sets an agenda of the most urgent topics and most exciting approaches in the field of policy-relevant population studies. The four sections of the document introduce and elaborate on main thematic fields of demographic research. In these, we handle the most relevant topics and enquiries on population dynamics that impact mar­kets, society, and policies today and in the near future.
