Abstract

Based on the tabulations of the Longitudinal Immigration Data Base, I characterized, explained and compared the

The Internal Migration of Immigrants: Differences between One‐Time and Multiple Movers in Spain

“…Among variables that usually reflect the effect of socio-economic advancement, the propensity to move towards, or to reside in, less segregated locations tends to be positively associated with the level of education, a certain level of income or having a good occupation, and negatively associated with being unemployed and home ownership (some of these variables appear in, for example, Bartel, 1989;Kritz and Nogle, 1994;Nogle, 1994Nogle, , 1997Moore and Rosenberg, 1995;Newbold, 1996;Beenstock, 1997Beenstock, , 1999Åslund, 2005;South et al, 2005;Ellis and Goodwin-White, 2006;Finney and Simpson, 2008;Iceland and Scopilliti, 2008;Zorlu and Mulder, 2008;Ishikawa and Liaw, 2009;Bolt and van Kempen, 2010;Tammaru and Kontuly, 2010;Kritz et al, 2011;Xu, 2011). The strengthening of social and cultural ties within the host country, normally proxied by indicators such as fluency in the native language, the acquisition of citizenship, the extent and type of contacts with the majority (or some other) population (for example, by means of intermarriage), as well as the length of residence (a supplementary proxy for integration), tend to be positively correlated with mobility towards, or residence in, less segregated locations (e.g.…”

“…In this regard, the retaining or attracting power of immigrant concentrations is emphasised in many studies (e.g. Kritz and Nogle, ; Moore and Rosenberg, ; Liaw and Frey, ; Zavodny, ; Åslund, ; South et al ., ; Ellis and Goodwin‐White, ; Goodwin‐White, ; Le, ; Zorlu and Mulder, ; Tammaru and Kontuly, ; Kritz et al ., ; Xu, ). Likewise, in the literature, the estimated coefficients of variables indicating place of birth often remain significant when the rest of the variables are controlled for.…”

“…Some studies are able to combine data at different points in time (e.g. Funkhouser, 2000;Rebhun, 2003;Hou, 2007;Xu, 2011). Few studies have made use of longitudinal databases allowing researchers to capture several movements or location choices of the same individuals (Åslund, 2005;South et al, 2005;Zorlu and Mulder, 2008).…”

Planning with multicultural diversity in small cities in Canada: a case study of immigrant lived-experiences in Brooks, Alberta

“…The retention of immigrants are contingent on the conditions of the labour market where economic-class immigrants are more likely than family-class immigrants to settle in initial destinations (Sapeha, 2016). The determinant of where immigrants will settle have been consistently reinforced on labour market conditions and broader economic factors (Beine & Coulombe, 2018;Xu, 2010).…”
