Theme 6
Migration
The interdisciplinary
migration research theme focuses on
the relation between the receiving
countries (immigration) and the
sending countries (emigration) and
its dynamics. While most research in
other institutes is directed towards
the determinants of emigration and
the problems of integration of the
immigrants in the receiving
countries, research at the MGSoG
emphasizes that effects goes both
ways not only in financial streams
(remittances) but also by
transferring and transforming
citizens across borders. Modern
communication and travel technology
play a pivotal role in keeping
migrants and the indigenous
population at both sides of the
migration flow in touch with each
other (both directly and throughout
the media). These information-,
financial- and human- flows have a
decisive impact on the labour market
behaviour, the cultural exchange,
the integration behaviour and the
potential further migration
behaviour (circular migration) of
migrants.
The research theme distinguishes
three major research areas in
migration:
1)Migration flows and their effects
2)Migration and integration and
3)Migration and development.
Examples of research projects in
Migration:
- Residential segregation and
performance implications for
ethnic entrepreneurship in the
Netherlands
- Ethnic
entrepreneurship in the
Netherlands: the delicate
distinction between golden
opportunity and bare necessity
- The determinants of
remittances: a comparison
between Albania and Moldova
- The impact of immigration
policies on the choice of
destination country of skilled
migrants
- The governance and
commodification of remittances
- The formal or informal
remittance choice: the case of
Moldova
