“…Many of the long‐held assumptions about human agency and what the full picture of migration over time looks like are being challenged by a growing interest in immobility in different contexts (Black, 2013; Blazek et al., 2019; Champion & Falkingham, 2016; Skeldon, 2016). This work calls attention to the diverse reasons why people do and do not move in different contexts, as well as to the dynamic, complex web of social, economic, and political circumstances under which immobility takes place.…”

This paper explores the relationship between human trafficking and geographies of stigma based on qualitative research in Nepal. It explains how geographies of stigma circumscribe the agency of those who return from having experienced trafficking, affecting their livelihoods and mobilities. It examines processes of spatial differentiation, territorialisation and scalar hierarchies in relation to the production and navigation of stigma.

“…In general, more developed societies and economies are more mobile than less mobile (Skeldon 2016). On the other hand, a further impoverishment of the region of origin should lead to more migration.…”

Our paper discusses the problem of intellectual security within the concept of economic development represented by the regional development. We argue that in today's complex world, intellectual security is becoming the leading factor of economic development. The paper discusses such issues as human capital, innovations, as well as intellectual potential. Moreover, we focus on the issue of intellectual security as a type of state security and contemplate on the problems of cyber security and cyber threats as those targeted against the individuals and often resulting in personal data breaches of the personnel. Our paper also mentiones the trends in intellectual security in the Russian Federation. Specifically, we look into the problem of brain drain from Russia, specifically the migration of leading highly qualiied researchers and scientists abroad. We discuss the impact of migration in general and intellectual migration in particular on the regional economic growth and development. Our results clearly show that the effects of the outflow of intellectual capital on economic development are fundamentally versatile and that under favorable economic and political conditions intellectual migration might play a positive role in the development of regions of origin and countries.

“…Collecting detailed individual migration histories can provide complete information on the mobility of human populations, but such surveys are expensive and only possible for small sample populations (Skeldon, 2016). DaVanzo and others did pioneering work on migration histories in both developed and developing countries.…”

This paper sheds new light on internal migration processes by estimating stylized migration histories for populations in 31 countries. The focus is on repeat migration and on return migration back to rural areas from urban areas. Migration histories are portrayed by introducing migration pathway matrices, representing the shares of the population (by gender) that have moved or stayed in rural and urban areas over three periods (childhood and two forward periods). Using data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), the estimation of national migration pathway matrices was done with an information-theoretic procedure using maximum-entropy econometrics to estimate migration frequencies by population groups. Moving multiple times is found to be a consolidated practice in all countries analysed. Sizeable urban-to-rural migration flows are found, with rural returnees often contributing substantially to these flows. This phenomenon is more pronounced in countries in relatively early phases of economic development and among male migrants. For the sample of countries in sub-Saharan Africa, on average, 51% of men and 32% of women migrating from urban to rural areas are return migrants who lived in rural areas as children. Results indicate many migrants move multiple times: In the overall sample of countries, at least 43% of men and 36% of women who move once will move a second time (or more), accounting for nearly 120 million individuals. We find large differences in migration histories across genders, with these differences tending to be smaller for countries that are further along their economic development path and more urbanised.
