“…4 The dominant female presence among Ecuadorians in Europe is not such in the US, as migration chains have been differently gendered depending on the receiving country (Pedone, 2006, Gratton, 2007. 6 In Italy citizenship rules are based on the principle of jus sanguinis, and the acquisition of citizenship by residence requires 10 years of legal residence.…”

We analyze a very interesting episode in international migration for which we are able to gather individual-level data covering all relevant countries, namely the exodus of Ecuadorians to Spain and the US in the aftermath of the economic collapse of 1999. Specifically, we produce selection-corrected predictions of counterfactual individual earnings and use them to estimate a discrete-choice migration equation that allows for correlated errors across destinations and a rich structure of migration costs. We find that earnings significantly shape individual migration decisions, even in an episode in which Ecuadorians mostly chose Spain where earnings were lower than in the US, and they contribute to explaining the observed composition of migration flows. Moreover, our estimates show that changes in earnings at a particular destination have a larger effect on destination choice conditional on migration than on the scale of migration.

“…With well over 20% of children in the United States growing up in immigrant homes, the implications for numbers of youth affected by this phenomenon is striking (Hernandez et al, 2007). Of course, transnationally separated families are not unique to the United States-postindustrial nations the world over have experienced large-scale migrations over the last decade (Bernhard et al, 2006;Gratton, 2007;Marks, 2005;UNDP, 2009 …”

Though many transnational families undergo profound transformations that are often complicated by extended periods of separation between loved ones, it is challenging to establish a sense of prevalence of family separations as well as their effects on youth. Utilizing the Longitudinal Immigrant Student Adaptation data with 282 newcomer adolescents from China, Central America, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Mexico, the authors report that nearly three quarters of the participants had been separated from one or both parents for extended periods. Results of general linear model (GLM) analyses indicate that children who were separated from their parents were more likely to report symptoms of anxiety and depression in the initial years after migrating than children who had not been separated; follow-up analyses 5 years later show that symptoms had abated. Qualitative data from youth and parents shed light on the experience of separations and reunifications.
