A unique survey which tracks worldwide the best and brightest academic performers from three Pacific countries is used to assess the extent of emigration and return migration among the very highly ...skilled, and to analyze, at the microeconomic level, the determinants of these migration choices. Although we estimate that the income gains from migration are very large, not everyone migrates and many return. Within this group of highly skilled individuals the emigration decision is found to be most strongly associated with preference variables such as risk aversion and patience, and choice of subjects in secondary school, and not strongly linked to either liquidity constraints or to the gain in income to be had from migrating. Likewise, the decision to return is strongly linked to family and lifestyle reasons, rather than to the income opportunities in different countries. Overall the data suggest a relatively limited role for income maximization in distinguishing migration propensities among the very highly skilled, and a need to pay more attention to other components of the utility maximization decision.

La historia que narra nos habla de la migración, y más concretamente de la trata de mujeres nigerianas, que en sí misma ya es un proceso traumático, por lo que, incorporando tres variables más: la ...migración forzada, el hecho de que las desplazadas sean niñas y la consecuencia de la explotación y el maltrato que conlleva la trata. Por eso, en mi opinión, es un libro con el que nos debería explotar el cerebro y sangrar el corazón, una historia narrada de forma directa, sin tapujos y con muchos detalles y, sin embargo, de una forma creativa, cándida, tierna y envolvente como "el encaje que acoge", porque se necesita del cariño, los abrazos, la escucha y la cultura de paz para enfrentarse a su lectura. En este sentido, destaca la capacidad de contar una realidad tan terriblemente cruel como cierta con una belleza y sensibilidad que acaricia a quien lo lee.
Gerd Valchars/Rainer Bauböck, Migration & Staatsbürgerschaft, Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften: Wien 2021, 247 S. Ein zentrales Thema unserer Zeit, ein optisch auf den ersten ...Blick kleiner Band dazu, aber ein inhaltlich sehr dichtes Buch, das reich an Information und weiteren Verweisen ist. Im Mittelpunkt der Analyse dieser Schrift steht ganz konkret die Situation in Österreich, wobei dieses Land sich dem allgemeinen Trend zu widersetzen scheint und den Erwerb der Staatsbürgerschaft nicht nur nicht erleichtert, sondern in den letzten Jahren zusätzliche Erschwernisse eingeführt hat. Wertvoll an diesem Band ist insbesondere auch, dass es die Autoren verstanden haben, komplexe rechtliche Fragen allgemeinverständlich zu präsentieren und in einen internationalen und europäischen Kontext zu stellen, der in Österreich häufig verloren geht.
En el presente artículo se muestra que los estudios organizacionales aportan una alternativa viable, pragmática y realista al intento de desarrollar técnicas que permitan abordar y enfrentar ...problemas sociales perversos.
It has been suggested that birds migrate faster in spring than in autumn because of competition for arrival order at breeding grounds and environmental factors such as increased daylight. ...Investigating spring and autumn migration performances is important for understanding ecological and evolutionary constraints in the timing and speed of migration. We compiled measurements from tracking studies and found a consistent predominance of cases showing higher speeds and shorter durations during spring compared to autumn, in terms of flight speeds (airspeed, ground speed, daily travel speed), stopover duration, and total speed and duration of migration. Seasonal differences in flight speeds were generally smaller than those in stopover durations and total speed/duration of migration, indicating that rates of foraging and fuel deposition were more important than flight speed in accounting for differences in overall migration performance. Still, the seasonal differences in flight speeds provide important support for time selection in spring migration.

Governing through migration control In this special issue concept of ‘Governing through crime’, is applied to current developments in migration control, and approached through the lens of ‘governing ...through migration control’. Building on insights from crimmigration and the emerging field of ‘border criminology’ authors discuss and analyze the way migrants’ mobility and daily lives are restricted and hindered through measures taken in areas of law other than migration law or criminal law. As such they underline the importance of interaction between criminologists, lawyers and scholars from other disciplines.
This open access short reader provides an introduction to the theoretical debates regarding irregular migration and aims to bridge these theoretical debates to current empirical developments. It ...defines irregular migrants and irregular migration by discussing the wide variety of definitions and highlights the reasons for the presence of irregular immigrants in developed countries. The book provides an overview of the variation in policies regarding irregular migrants and elaborates on how irregular migration is facilitated and supported. It discusses the trends and dynamics between border enforcement, human smuggling/trafficking, and on the support irregular migrants obtain by citizens and civil society while residing in the EU. Last but not least, the book also focuses on the agency and political mobilization of irregular migrants. As such, it provides a great resource for everyone interested in learning more about irregular migration.
