My 2nd PhD chapter on #housing changes of #immigrants & #descendants in #England & #Wales has been published 🥳. Thanks to my very positive reviewers for their suggestions, @celsiusnews.bsky.social & my supervisors Hill Kulu & @ischiathere.bsky.social as part of @migrantlife.bsky.social project!

Using the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study for England and Wales, we are one of the few studies that examines the long-term residential mobility and housing tenure patterns among migrant origin groups and generations in the UK context. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

Wohoooo, a new article is published that tackles housing and homeownership among immigrants and their descendants in Sweden, @phrg-standrews.bsky.social @migrantlife.bsky.social @cpc-cg.bsky.social @bspsuk.bsky.social link: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The MigrantLife project officially comes to an end this month! Earlier today, together with our colleagues at @phrg-standrews.bsky.social, we looked back on and celebrated our achievements—and the many people who contributed to the project’s success 🍾

@parthpandya.bsky.social showcased their fourth and final PhD chapter, which analyses various life course triggers of residential and housing tenure changes among migrants and their descendants in the UK. @migrantlife.bsky.social

Finally, a study led by @jmikolai.bsky.social looks at the link between fertility and employment changes among migrant groups in Europe. It was published in October this year 👇 bsky.app/profile/phrg...

New publication ✍️ Recent work by @jmikolai.bsky.social, Hill Kulu, and @ischiathere.bsky.social, together with Isaure Delaporte, unveils the interrelationship between fertility and employment changes among migrant populations across three major migrant recipient countries in Europe.

Meanwhile, in a study using the German SOEP data, @ischiathere.bsky.social and Hill Kulu demonstrate that motherhood reduces women’s labor market participation across immigrant groups — but its impact is stronger for European immigrant women because they start out with higher baseline participation.

Another study led by @jharrison37.bsky.social finds persistent gaps in residential mobility and homeownership between the native population and immigrants + their descendants. @jmikolai.bsky.social @ischiathere.bsky.social @maryabedalahad.bsky.social

Using register data from France, @jharrison37.bsky.social & H. Kulu, together with I. Delaporte & A. Pailhé, find that immigrants from North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa & their descendants are less likely to own a home & instead more likely to move to social renting compared to the native group.

Examining data from Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland, J. Lacroix, @ischiathere.bsky.social, @maryabedalahad.bsky.social, H. Kulu, together with G. Andersson, show that immigrants and refugees tend to move to urban areas following initial settlement and dispersal policy.

We are kicking off the week by celebrating several new publications ✍️ from the @migrantlife.bsky.social project -- all published in the last few weeks!

Julie Lacroix et al have published in International Migration Review - #Immigrant #Refugee #Mobility Across #Urban #Rural Continuum in 3 #European Countries. They find immigrants contribute little to suburban-/rural-isation. Refugees relocate to urban areas after restrictions doi.org/10.1177/0197...

Paper co-authored by CPC-CG's Kulu, @jmikolai.bsky.social, @maryabedalahad.bsky.social @migrantlife.bsky.social @standrewssgsd.bsky.social Investigates immigrants & their descendants' residential mobility & housing changes in 5 European countries with different housing markets & migrant populations

🚨 🚨 Publication 🚨 🚨 My work on residential relocation of Immigrants and their descendants in France has been published in Population, Space and Place.

We are hiring a Posd-Doctoral Research Fellow @standrewssgsd.bsky.social @phrg-standrews.bsky.social to work on #family and #housing #projections using #microsimulation. DL: 1 October. More info: www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/...

I am so happy to have presented in two sessions at #BSPS2025 conference on Life course trajectories of descendants of immigrants in Sweden and on Life satisfaction, health and air pollution. @bspsuk.bsky.social @cpc-cg.bsky.social @phrg-standrews.bsky.social @migrantlife.bsky.social

Our previous team member @ischiathere.bsky.social & Nissa Finney contributed to a @bspsuk.bsky.social panel on future research on the #children of #immigrants! The panel discussed data gaps, specific themes/theories related to their unique societal status, methodologies & interdisciplinarity.

Great day #BSPS2025, incl. @migrantlife.bsky.social's Baek on #fertility & #employment of UK women with #migrant backgrounds; Harrison & @maryabedalahad.bsky.social on migrants' life events in France & Sweden; @sarahchristison.bsky.social on UK family & housing transitions by migrant group & origin

The final presentation was delivered by @sarahchristison.bsky.social who looked at #housing, #partnership & #fertility of immigrants & descendants in the #UK. Births were most likely for homeowners & homeownership entry is heterogenous regardless of partnership which may suggest disadvantage.

@maryabedalahad.bsky.social jumped from France to #Sweden to look at #homeownership, #marriage & #childbirth among #immigrants & their #descendants. She shows greater life event convergence to the Swedish natives across migrant generations & the importance of homeownership for other life events.

@jharrison37.bsky.social is next presenting his work on #births, #partnerships & residential #mobility of #immigrants & #descendants in #France! He shows that African immigrants exhibit higher event intensity, some fertility convergence across generations & that residential barriers persist.
