Circular mobilities have become frequent during the era of globalisation. This contribution provides empirical evidence relevant to the long-term international circular migrants admitted into Hungary in economic crisis period 2009-2012 in comparison with before decline of 2006-2008. The principal aim of this paper is to quantify some socio-demographic effects of economic crisis on the international circulators. Initially, we define the circulation within the conceptual framework between the continuum of transnationalism and translocalism. This is achieved by performing the critical literature review on definitions of circulation followed by the international migration and economic contexts. Then we analyse macro-scale data set on long-term international circular migrants based on an original statistical method. In the light of absolute and relative indicators we study changes in time series of circulators in comparison with first immigrants as reference group. We seek to gain insight into the change of socio-demographic composition of international circulators by gender, age and family status. We embed the empirical results into the recent migratory context and try to find possible explanations and interpretations of the effects measured. Lastly, we guess a new characteristic of multiple movers, namely international circulators are partially resistant to some negative effects of economic crisis.

“…The literature on internal circular migration, sometimes referred to as repeat migration, in the United States (DaVanzo, 1983;DaVanzo & Morrison, 1981;Goldstein, 1964), circular migration between Mexico and the United States (Massey, 1987(Massey, , 1990Massey, Durand, & Malone, 2002;Massey & Espinosa, 1997), and between New Zealand and Australia (Lidgard & Gilson, 2002;McCann, Poot, & Sanderson, 2010;Poot, 2010) is abundant. In addition, there is a growing literature on circular migration between developing countries (Bird & Deshingkar, 2009;Deshingkar, Sharma, Kurma, Akter, & Farrington, 2008;Hugo, 1982Hugo, , 2009Lee, Sukrakarn, & Choi, 2011). Across these studies, there is a consensus that some migrants have a strong tendency to move multiple times over relatively short time spans.…”

Circular migration in a context of free mobility: Evidence from linked population register data from Finland and Sweden

Circular migration in settings of free mobility has received increasing policy attention. However, due to data constraints, little is known about the mechanisms underlying it. Using linked Finnish and Swedish register data that allow us to follow Finnish migrants across national borders, we analyse whether the determinants of circular migration differ from those of the first and return move. People move freely between Sweden and Finland, as they are in the common Nordic labour market. Event history analysis shows that many moves are temporary and short term. Moreover, the patterns of circular migration reflect those of the first emigration and first return, respectively. Swedish speakers and individuals who are not married are more prone to emigrate for the first and second time, whereas Finnish speakers and married individuals have a higher risk of return migration. This implies that circular migration may amplify demographic features related to emigration and return migration.

“…One response to this could be temporary or permanent migration, and there is already evidence that mobility is a crucial strategy for reducing vulnerability to a wide range of climate-and non-climate-related risks (Tacoli, 2009). Ability to migrate is not identified in discussions of adaptive capacity, but there is significant evidence that it is an important household strategy in achieving long-term improvements in livelihood (Deshingkar, 2006;Deshingkar et al, 2008). Although outcomes from migration are by no means uniformly positive, there is strong evidence that migrant households generally show better levels of child nutrition and have more ability to cope with food price shocks (Zezza et al, 2011).…”

Climate change has already resulted in climate-related extreme events of greater frequency and/or intensity. This, along with long-term changes in average conditions (whether in temperature or rainfall), is likely to continue to have a major impact on livelihoods. Developing countries will be especially affected by such events -and more specifically, the poor people in developing countries -because of their geographical exposure and their greater reliance on climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture. Social protection offers a wide range of instruments (e.g. cash transfers, insurance products, pension schemes and employment guarantee schemes) that can be used to support households that are particularly vulnerable to both the ongoing and acute impacts of climate changes. Although the evidence base showing how these measures can help those affected prevent and cope with climate challenges is still limited, this paper aims to provide a condensed review of the current knowledge and evidence about the role of social protection in reducing the impact of climate change on the poorest populations and provides a series of recommendations for both social protection and climate change practitioners and for strengthening the evidence base.
