Linking internal and international migration over the life course: A sequence analysis of individual migration trajectories in Europe

The intergenerational transmission of migration capital: The role of family migration history and lived migration experiences

“…Recent evidence indicates that lived internal migration experiences in childhood promote international migration in adulthood and, conversely, that lived international migration experiences in childhood facilitate internal migration in adulthood (Bernard and Perales 2021). This finding supports repeated calls to integrate these two fields of study (King and Skeldon 2010) while signalling the need to broaden the notion of migration capital to encompass both forms of population movement and the need to advance our understanding of how internal and international migration are sequenced over the life course (Bernard and Vidal 2023;Zufferey, Steiner, and Ruedin 2020). In the meantime, the present study offers a set of conceptual and analytic tools that we hope contribute to invigorating research on factors underpinning the intergenerational transmission of migration.…”

Internal and International Migration in “Schengenland”. Selectivity of the young Spanish migration.

“…This phenomenon of internal mobility, which can occur prior to or following international relocation, has been examined through various research efforts. Utilizing sequence analysis and comprehensive frameworks, these works aim to offer a more intricate insight into patterns of migration that include return and circular movements (Bernard & Vidal, 2023;Castagnone, 2011;Zufferey, Steiner, & Ruedin, 2021). In terms of group dynamics, the specific nature of immigrant social capital can significantly affect the initial settlement choices of new immigrants, often aligning with the internal migration pathways of their co-ethnic group (Sandell, 2012).…”

“…Nonetheless, empirical attempts to delineate and measure the connections between different types of migration (Bohra & Massey, 2009;Creighton, 2013;Panichella, 2018) are sparse. Furthermore, intra-European migration studies offering insightful perspectives (Bernard & Perales, 2022;Bernard & Vidal, 2023) often depend on datasets focusing on European cohorts born between 1950 and 1965. These datasets do not fully reflect the transformed realities of the Schengen Area, such as its broader geographic reach, the adoption of the euro, the standardization of educational systems, and the emergence of international mobility initiatives like the ERASMUS program (King, 2018).…”
