“…Even though households may stay longer than planned, their intention for temporary movement could prevent initial integration with the local urbanites. Although residents in host communities see short-and long-term climatic events as legitimate reasons to migrate, they are not more likely to accept climate-related migrants in comparison to economic ones in their established community (Spilker et al, 2020). Ahsan, Kellett & Karuppanna (2014) found that migrants often report suffering trauma and a sense of alienation due to a change of social status in the aftermath of migration.…”

Natural hazards, internal migration and protests in Bangladesh

Does internal migration following natural hazards increase the likelihood of protests in migrant-receiving areas? To address the question, this study first looks at the extent to which experiencing different forms of natural hazards contributes to a household’s decision to leave their district of residence. In a second step, the article explores whether that internal migration flow increases the number of protest events in migrant-hosting districts. In doing so, it contributes to the existing debate on the extent to which natural hazards impact the likelihood of social contention, and the role of migration as a linking pathway in that relationship. The impact of climate-related shocks may erode household assets and therefore adaptive capacity in ways that can eventually influence decisions to migrate to larger urban centres. Although migrants are agents of economical and technological change, urban environments may impose challenges to recently arrived migrants and their host communities, affecting the motivations and mobilization resources of urban social groups to protest. As a consequence, the probability of urban unrest in these locations is expected to increase. To test this, I use geo-referenced household-level data from Bangladesh for the period 2010–15, which records households’ experiences of different forms of natural hazard and internal migration flows, available from the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey. It combines this with data on protests, derived from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data. Findings suggest that flood hazards in combination with loss of assets increase the likelihood of internal migration, but unlike other types of domestic mobility, hazard-related migration does not increase the frequency of protests in migrants’ districts of destination.

“…Conjoint survey experiments are frequently employed to identify the importance individuals attribute to different features or characteristics of choices ( 23 ). Examples include environmental migrants ( 24 ), asylum seekers ( 25 ) and migration destinations ( 26 ). Awad et al ( 27 ) employed conjoint experiments that generate 40 million decisions to determine the ethical principles the public thinks should guide machine behavior.…”

How does the public want a COVID-19 vaccine to be allocated? We conducted a conjoint experiment asking 15,536 adults in 13 countries to evaluate 248,576 profiles of potential vaccine recipients that varied randomly on five attributes. Our sample includes diverse countries from all continents. The results suggest that in addition to giving priority to health workers and to those at high risk, the public favours giving priority to a broad range of key workers and to those on lower incomes. These preferences are similar across respondents of different education levels, incomes, and political ideologies, as well as across most surveyed countries. The public favoured COVID-19 vaccines being allocated solely via government programs, but were highly polarized in some developed countries on whether taking a vaccine should be mandatory. There is a consensus among the public on many aspects of COVID-19 vaccination which needs to be taken into account when developing and communicating roll-out strategies.

“…Con relación al tercer tipo, las investigaciones abordan las consecuencias del conflicto y las guerras, definiendo un tipo de migración que también es ambiental con todo merecimiento (Spilker et al, 2020). Según Orozco y González (2018), en México, a nivel municipal, de 2007 a 2012, el aumento de la violencia originada por la acción de los cárteles de la droga incrementó en 1.53 puntos porcentuales la emigración de los mexicanos a Estados Unidos, aunque la percepción de la violencia en la ruta tiene un efecto depresor en este tipo de movilidad.…”

Este artículo analiza el efecto del cambio climático en el patrón de emigración internacional a nivel municipal en el estado de Hidalgo (México). Las fuentes de información usadas son el grado intensidad migratoria internacional (Consejo Nacional de Población, 2010), el nivel de sequía (Comisión Nacional del Agua, 2011), la condición de ruralidad y la vegetación predominante (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía, 2015). Los resultados sugieren que el cambio climático, representado por la sequía y el resto de las variables están cambiando la migración. El sustento de este trabajo se basa en la construcción de un modelo multilogístico, pues mediante la metodología de investigación de operaciones se formuló, calculó, validó e interpretaron los resultados.
