“…There have been calls for new theoretical and methodological perspectives in international migration studies to supplement existing research and thereby better capture the complex nature of the migration phenomenon. Specifically, this literature advocates multi-site and cross-border approaches that include both origin and destination sites (FitzGerald 2012;Beauchemin 2014), undocumented international migrants (FitzGerald 2012) and longer time spans (Telles and Ortiz 2009) to unravel the complexities of international and internal migration. Amelina andFaist (2012, 1708) warn against the dominance of "methodological nationalism" (Wimmer and Schiller 2003) that primarily explains migration processes using terminologies and categories of destination nations and is driven by the policy concerns of these nations.…”

Despite recent advances, critical areas in the analysis of European migration remain underdeveloped. We have only a limited understanding of the consequences of migration for migrants and their descendants, relative to staying behind; and our insights of intergenerational transmission is limited to two generations of those living in the destination countries. These limitations stem from a paucity of studies that incorporate comparison with nonmigrants -and return migrants -in countries of origin and which trace processes of intergenerational transmission over multiple generations. This paper outlines the theoretical and methodological discussions in the field, design and data of the 2,000 Families study. The study comprises almost 50,000 members of migrant and non-migrant Turkish families across three family generations, living in Turkey and eight European countries. We provide indicative findings from the study, framed within a theoretical perspective of "dissimilation" from origins, and reflect on its potential for future migration research.

“…Многие ученые считают, что для всестороннего анализа миграции необходи-мо учитывать не только характеристики мигрантов в принимающем обществе, но также располагать информацией об отправляющих сообществах [Van Tubergen et al, 2004;Beauchemin, 2014]. И хотя в последнее время многоуровневое мо-делирование становится все более принятым в исследованиях миграции [Yang, Guo, 1999;Swain, Garasky, 2007], одновременный анализ стран исхода и про-живания еще не распространен [Urquia et al, 2011;Huijts, Kraaykamp, 2012].…”

“…Information about migration may be elicited directly from return migrants and through proxy reports by household members. Most surveys are origin-based, but a few are multi-sited at origin and destination (Beauchemin 2014). In Table 1, we identify principal characteristics: project name, years, origin/destination, survey type, sampling strategy, the principal investigator, funding sources, data accessibility and sample publications.…”

“…Compared to many other life events and transitions of interest in the social sciences, data on migration – especially that of international migration – is notoriously difficult and costly to collect (Black and Skeldon 2009, Willekens et al 2016) and use (Beauchemin and Schoumaker 2014, Riosmena 2016). Migrants, by definition, are on the move and thus elusive.…”

BACKGROUND Longitudinal micro-level data about international migration behavior are notoriously difficult to collect, but data collection efforts have become more frequent in recent years. Comparative research of the patterns and processes of international migration, however, remains quite rare, especially that which compares across regions. OBJECTIVE We highlight the promises and difficulties of comparative international migration research, by offering a detailed comparison of two prominent data collection efforts. METHODS We systematically review existing sources of longitudinal and quasi-longitudinal individual-level and household-level data of international migration. We then compare two widely-used data sources: the Mexican Migration Project (MMP) and the Migration between Africa and Europe project (MAFE). RESULTS Data collection efforts are increasingly diverse, yet public accessibility of data remains limited. Also, comparability of data collected across settings can be complicated. In our MMP-MAFE analysis, we show some ways in which comparability can be achieved. CONCLUSIONS A primary roadblock to international comparative research is that, with some exceptions, the public accessibility of data remains low. Even when data is public and surveys are modeled after one another, comparability is not easy due to necessary trade-offs in adapting surveys to local settings and to developments in the field. CONTRIBUTION We demonstrate that, despite great strides in collecting quasi-longitudinal data of international migration, data accessibility still hinders the study of migration. With regards to comparability, our article provides important lessons for future data collection and analysis efforts that could improve comparability and thus advance understanding of the complex dynamics of international migration.
