Andalucía ha sido tradicionalmente una zona de expulsión de emigración. Actualmente el fenómeno se ha invertido y recibe población de multitud de latitudes diferentes. A los inmigrantes extranjeros hay que unir los retornados. Aquí vamos a estudiar los procesos de retorno desde la Argentina y Bélgica. Los resultados de la investigación muestran que los migrantes que estuvieron en Bélgica han experimentado una migración circular con una clara intención de retorno, basada, sobre todo, en la consecución de los objetivos previstos o el incumplimiento de estos. Por su lado, el caso del retorno latinoamericano es distinto. En primer lugar, retornan, sobre todo, los hijos de los emigrantes. En segundo lugar, la migración inicial tenía un carácter definitivo, por tanto, han sido los factores contextuales —declive económico y falta de expectativas— los que han provocado el retorno. En tercer lugar, las redes sociales han jugado un papel muy secundario en el regreso. / Andalucía has been, traditionally, a starting point for emigration. Nowadays, the phenomenon has reversed and it receives populations from different parts of the world. To the foreign migrants we have to add the people who have returned to Andalucía. Here, we are going to study the return process from Belgium and Argentina. The results of the investigation show that the migrants who were in Belgium have experienced a circular migration with a clear intention of coming back, based, above all, on fulfillment or a failure to fulfill planned objectives. On the other hand, the case of the Latin American return is different. First of all, those who return are mostly the descendants of the emigrants. In second place, the initial migration has a definitive character; thus, there have been contextual factors—economic decline and lack of prospects—that have caused the return. In third place, the social networks have had a very minor role in the return to Andalucía.

Diversos não somente em pontos de origem e destino, mas também em motivações, trajetórias e estratégias, esses fluxos chamam a atenção pela complexidade e volume da circulação de pessoas e capitais, bem como pelos impactos nos espaços migratórios. A fronteira Brasil - Bolívia abriga um movimento intenso entre os dois países, em diversas ondas migratórias de diferentes intensidades ao longo de 50 anos. Neste contexto, surge o tema da migração feminina e seus diferenciais em todos os aspectos do fenômeno. Este trabalho busca a análise da presença boliviana em Corumbá - MS, a partir da perspectiva da migração feminina, através de suas especificidades / Abstract: The international migration context in Brazil has become quite a phenomenon with a complex and multifaceted population for over a century. Not only in several points of origin and destination but also motivations, trajectories and strategies, these flows attract attention to the complexity and volume of movement of people and capital, as well as the impacts on migratory spaces. The border Brazil - Bolívia is home to an intense movement between the two countries invarious migratory waves of different intensities over 50 years. In this context, there is the issue of female migration and its characteristics in all aspects of the phenomenon. This work aims to analyze the presence in Bolivia Corumbá - MS, from the perspective of female migration, through their specific requirements / Doutorado / Doutor em Demografia

Large-scale interstate migration raises questions about where the responsibility for migrant welfare lies, whether with the sending state and its institutions, the receiving state or both. Across the middle decades of the twentieth century, around half a million people left Ireland, the majority for England. This study analyses the policy responses of governmental, Catholic church and voluntary organisations in both countries to Irish migrant welfare. Using records from Irish and English diocesan archives and the National Archives of Ireland and England the study identifies the policy claims that were made to church and state in the two countries and the responses that resulted. The majority of migrants were young, single and migrating alone. A distinctive feature was that, for much of the period covered, female migrants outnumbered males. The young age and gender of these migrants made moral welfare a major concern. The Irish Catholic hierarchy, led by the Archbishop of Dublin, Dr John Charles McQuaid, accepted responsibility for Irish migrant welfare and understood their needs through a discourse of ‘faith and morals’. This interpretation led to solutions designed to support religious faith and practice delivered by Catholic priests and lay volunteers. Both the Irish government and British institutions (state and voluntary) accepted the centrality of Catholicism to Irish identity and the right of the Catholic church to lead welfare policy and provision for Irish migrants. No alternative understanding of Irish migrant needs within a secular framework emerged during this period. This meant that whilst the Irish hierarchy developed policy responses based on their assessment of need, other agencies, notably the British and Irish governments, did not consider any specific policy response for Irish migrants to be required.

This thesis investigates socio-economic integration of men and women immigrants (‘Old’ and ‘New’) relative to United Kingdom (UK) born White in the UK labour market. In order to assess my research hypotheses I use both cross-sectional and panel data based on the world’s largest panel survey: UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS), (data collected between 2009 and 2014). The first two essays are cross-sectional studies examining access (or lack of access) to the professional class and pay asymmetry of these groups, while, the third paper, uses the full potential attributes of a ‘strict balanced’ panel to investigate occupational status transitions and earning trajectories using a more refined parsimonious random effects model approach. The main findings show that the labour market performance of immigrants differs from that of UK born White in several important ways. The education and experience of immigrants are subject to different ‘rewards’ to those of natives, and immigrants will usually end up in jobs that are a poor match for their education. These findings are in line with the results of the literature in this field. The main contributions of this thesis are twofold: substantively, the thesis addresses and explores the heterogeneity in the groups studied in terms of observable and unobservable characteristics. Also, this study is among the pioneering research being conducted with the re-scaling of complex survey weights associated with the UKHLS.

The aim of this research is to examine the impact of UKs immigration policies and procedures on asylum seekers and ‘illegal’ migrants. The study investigates the ways in which ‘risks’ have been proffered as a justification to contain and control this group of individuals. Those claiming asylum are increasingly subjected to a complex set of rules and legislation, and their access to the welfare state and labour market is severely restricted, if not completely denied. Individuals are increasingly pushed into a bureaucratic limbo in which they are rendered destitute and stateless. This Thesis draws upon asylum seekers’ and ‘illegal’ migrants’ experiences of living in this empty space and shows the ways in which they have used their agency to ‘resist’ and overcome the controls that render them as ‘bare-life’. The study employs a qualitative methodology which includes in-depth interviews with twenty two asylum seekers and six specialist practitioners. The conclusion reveals a constant struggle against the status quo and dissent against abusive state power.

This thesis provides an overview of the development of international migration in the Czech Republic to determine the aspects affecting migration. The Czech Republic has become a destination country for many immigrants, not only from the European Union, but also from countries outside the European union. The main goal of this paper is to outline the development of migration movements in the Czech republic before 1989 and in the context of legislative and methodological changes that occurred after 1989. The paper also describes the changes in international migration movements between 2002 -- 2012 in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. These countries belong to the alliance called the Visegrad four. In recent years, they became a new place of migration flows, particularly from countries with less developed economies. The aim is to determine the evolution of selected indicators of migration to identify connections between the selected countries given to their common historical and legal aspects.

A methodology is developed to estimate comparable international migration flows between a set of countries. International migration flow data may be missing, reported by the sending country, reported by the receiving country or reported by both the sending and receiving countries. For the last situation, reported counts rarely match due to differences in defnitions and data collection systems. In this thesis, reported counts are harmonized using correction factors estimated from a constrained optimization procedure. Factors are applied to scale data known to be of a reliable standard, creating an incomplete migration flow table of harmonized values. Cells for which no reliable reported flows exist are then estimated from a negative binomial regression model fitted using the Expectation- Maximization (EM) type algorithm. Covariate information for this model is drawn from international migration theory. Finally, measures of precision for all missing cell estimates are derived using the Supplemented EM algorithm. Recent data on international migration between countries in Europe are used to illustrate the methodology. The results represent a complete table of comparable ows that can be used by regional policy makers and social scientist alike to better understand population behaviour and change.

This is a thesis conducted in San José, Costa Rica during two months in the spring of 2021. The purpose of this study is to explore what factors are causing migration from Nicaragua to Costa Rica, if the migration has included discrimination in any form and to what extend the staff at the non-governmental organizations Dale una mano a tu hermano (Give your brother a hand), and Ticos y Nicas (costaricans and nicaraguans) somos hermanos (Ticos y Nicas, are brothers) find their vision of integrating Nicaraguan refugees into Costa Rica possible.  The data for this project was collected through semi structured interviews with staff members at the non-governmental organizations “Dale una mano a tu hermano”, “Ticos y Nicas somos hermanos” and migrants from Nicaragua. The concepts of The Rational Choice Theory, Lee’s Push and Pull Migration Theory, and Hall’s theory of the “Other” was used as a theoretical framework to the thesis. The conclusion of this study is that migration from one country to another is caused by several factors, that migration can lead to discrimination in any form, and that the mentioned non-governmental organizations still find their work of integrating migrants into Costa Rica hard.
