“…Migration intentions (or aspirations, if viewed more broadly, see Aslany et al, 2021) are believed to be shaped by a variety of factors, covering not only current but also past circumstances. When related directly to migration and mobility on the family level, past circumstances considered by previous studies involved prior personal migration and mobility experience (Bernard et al, 2022; Bernard and Perales, 2021; Bernard and Vidal, 2020; De Jong, 2000; Efendic, 2016; Huber et al, 2022; Marrow and Klekowski von Koppenfels, 2020; Petzold, 2017) as well as broader family migration history (Ivlevs and King, 2012; Kandel and Massey, 2002; Myers, 1999; see also Clifton-Sprigg, 2022).

The article examines the relationship between past experience of involuntary immobility in a family and the current migration intentions of its members. While family migration experience has been shown to be positively related to migration intentions, the role of past unrealised migration intentions in a family is understudied. Using the case of the former communist bloc, we focus on the migration intentions of people whose family members’ mobility aspirations were stifled by the restrictive political regime. Drawing on data from the Life in Transition III Survey, we show that close relatives of people who had been prohibited from going abroad under communist rule are more likely to report migration intentions compared with people without such family experience. We explain these findings with the intergenerational transmission of mobility aspirations.
