“…Aspirations and intentions to migrate have been analysed from both qualitative and quantitative angles (Docquier et al, 2014;Thulin and Vilhelmson, 2016;Gubert and Senne, 2016;Van Hear et al, 2017;Carling and Schewel, 2017;Carling and Collins, 2017;Dao et al, 2018;Williams et al, 2018). Many quantitative studies have tapped into the Gallup World Poll (among others, see Esipova et al, 2011;Docquier et al, 2014;Esipova et al, 2016;Cai et al, 2014;Bertoli and Ruyssen, 2018;Dao et al, 2018;Tjaden et al, 2018), but other examples have focused on, e.g. Latinobarometro, Arab Barometer (Graham and Markowitz, 2011;Falco and Rotondi, 2016), or ad hoc surveys ( van Dalen, Groenewold, and Fokkema, 2005a; van Dalen, Groenewold, and Schoorl, 2005b;Williams et al, 2018).…”

“…Latinobarometro, Arab Barometer (Graham and Markowitz, 2011;Falco and Rotondi, 2016), or ad hoc surveys ( van Dalen, Groenewold, and Fokkema, 2005a; van Dalen, Groenewold, and Schoorl, 2005b;Williams et al, 2018). Esipova et al (2011) conducted the first investigation of aspirations and intentions to migrate worldwide by using Gallup data from 2009 to 2013. The authors pointed out that while 630 million people expressed the wish to move permanently abroad in 2011, only 8 per cent of the global population was planning to migrate, and an even lower share was actually preparing for the journey.…”

This article analyses aspirations and intentions to migrate based on Gallup World Poll for the period 2010–2015. We estimate individual‐level traits associated with aspirations and intentions to migrate across groups of countries in different regions and with different income levels. This paper brings together previous hypotheses regarding migration aspirations and tests them under several specifications, while keeping separate findings according to migration aspirations and intentions to appreciate differences between them. Being dissatisfied with one’s own standard of living is associated with a higher probability of desiring to move, while the relation with the actual preparation to migrate is less clear. Some individual traits remain significant across (almost) all specifications: being male, foreign‐born, highly educated, and having networks abroad are associated with higher probability of preparing for international migration. Aspects related to one’s economic situation are not consistently significant across specifications, signalling the importance of contextual analyses for these factors.

“…Bijak and Wiśniowski ( 2010 ) produced migration projections for seven European countries to 2025 using Bayesian hierarchical models. Using another geographically focused method, Fertig and Schmidt ( 2000 ) projected migration flows from a set of 17 mostly European countries to Germany over the 1998–2017 period. One drawback of these two approaches in the context of population projections for all countries is that both require the use of data on migration flows between pairs of countries.…”

“…First, projected age structures for all countries can potentially be used as predictor variables in projections of future migration. Because labor migration is common, the age structure of the sending and/or receiving countries can be used in making projections (Fertig & Schmidt 2000 ; Hatton & Williamson 2002 , 2005 ). Kim and Cohen ( 2010 ), in a study of pairwise migration flows, found that a young age structure in the country of origin is associated with high migration flows, while a young age structure in the country of destination is associated with low flows.…”

We propose a method for obtaining joint probabilistic projections of migration for all countries, broken down by age and sex. Joint trajectories for all countries are constrained to satisfy the requirement of zero global net migration. We evaluate our model using out-of-sample validation and compare point projections to the projected migration rates from a persistence model similar to the method used in the United Nations’ World Population Prospects, and also to a state-of-the-art gravity model.

“…Even with appropriate credentials, their qualifications might not be viewed as comparable to those required within the host country, causing denial of employment opportunities. Denial of opportunities can cause many new immigrants to accept menial and low paying jobs, which may not match their occupational training, experience and/or expectations, further causing distress and frustration [ 18 , 19 ]. Limited financial resources and opportunities that many immigrants face after migration may subject them to substandard housing in less desirable neighborhoods with high criminal activity and environmental contaminants.…”

This study compares the health conditions of domestic Caribbeans with those living in the United States to explore how national context and migration experiences might influence substance use (i.e., alcohol or drug) and other mental and physical health conditions. The study is based upon probability samples of non-institutionalized Caribbeans living in the United States (1621), Jamaica (1216) and Guyana (2068) 18 years of age and over. Employing descriptive statistics and multivariate analytic procedures, the results revealed that substance use and other physical health conditions and major depressive disorder and mania vary by national context, with higher rates among Caribbeans living in the United States. Context and generation status influenced health outcomes. Among first generation black Caribbeans, residing in the United States for a longer length of time is linked to poorer health outcomes. There were different socio-demographic correlates of health among at-home and abroad Caribbeans. The results of this study support the need for additional research to explain how national context, migratory experiences and generation status contribute to understanding substance use and mental disorders and physical health outcomes among Caribbean first generation and descendants within the United States, compared to those remaining in the Caribbean region.
