“…Research has shown that members of ethnic minority groups emigrate much more often than members of the majority population because they are disadvantaged economically. Other reasons include a lack of integration, discrimination, feelings of bitterness or insecurity, and a lack of attachment to the country of origin (Aptekar 2009;Cook, Dwyer, and Waite 2011;Crul and Vermeulen 2003;Thomson and Crul 2007;Ivlevs and King 2012). In short, ethnic minorities tend to be less attached to their sending country than members of the majority population.…”

“…As Ivlevs and King (2012) have noted, many eastern European countries that won independence at the beginning of the 1990s have since lost a share of their people. Furthermore, since the individuals who leave the new member states of the European Union (EU) are more likely to be highly educated than those who stay, the discussions on east-west migration in Europe tend to revolve around the issues of brain drain, brain gain, and brain waste (Kahanec et al 2010;Olofsson and Malmberg 2011;Olofsson 2012).…”

“…Yet this task is also essential, considering the widespread negative implications of residential mobility for mothers and children (Coley et al 2015) and the likelihood that children of mobile families may become more mobile adults (Ivlevs and King 2012). Using multilevel mixed longitudinal regression analyses, we assessed the relative importance of family characteristics as well as interpersonal, economic, housing, and community contexts in predicting low-income families' rates of residential mobility among a representative sample of low-income families living in three cities.…”

Given the repercussions of residential mobility, increased understanding of correlates of mobility is important for efforts to support family well-being. Using survey data on low-income families from the Three City Study (N = 2393), multilevel mixed longitudinal analyses examined factors associated with family residential mobility across the domains of family instability, housing and neighborhood contexts, and family characteristics. Results revealed contributions of family instability and housing and neighborhood contexts to residential mobility, with a higher rate of residential moves associated with experiences of intimate partner violence, relationship transitions, and job transitions, as well as with living in private-market rentals, substandard housing, and disordered neighborhoods. However, owning a home and living in disadvantaged neighborhoods predicted a lower rate of residential moves.

“…For members of the ethnic minority population, a complex correlation between economic disadvantage, social exclusion, and feelings of insecurity can contribute to lower attachment to their homeland compared to members of the majority population (cf. Thomson and Crul 2007;Ivlevs and King 2012). If minority youth does not see a bright future in their homeland, an important moment for the "exit type" migratory behaviour can emerge when they graduate from school and choose the university not in their home country, but abroad.…”

ANALYSIS OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES IN ESTONIAAbstract. This paper examines factors that shape intentions to study abroad. Previous research highlights the importance of various forms of capital-human, economic, social, cultural and mobility capital-as well as of personality traits in the formation of the intention to complete education in foreign countries. Our specific focus is on ethnic differences in going to study abroad. The data comes from a representative survey of high school graduates in Estonia. We apply multilevel binary regression in order to capture both individual and school effects in the formation of study intentions. Our key findings reveal, first, that there exist significant ethnic differences in the willingness to continue studies abroad despite controlling for individual characteristics, including various forms of capital and the personality traits. Second, ethnic differences disappear once we control for the study language of the school. The institutional context thus 3 DOES ETHNICITY MATTER IN INTENTIONS TO STUDY ABROAD?
