“…Inviting factors include the best salary, job improvement, better and more secure work environment, and appropriate lifestyle. Thompson et al, in 2019, showed that better care, higher salary, and fewer career risks in the developed countries are the influential reasons for emigration [12]. Thomas in 2006, also found that the dissatisfaction of the social attitude to nursing is another factor in desiring to emigrate for Indian nurses [13].…”

The emigration process of nurses as the main human resources of the health system is worrying. The study aimed to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and the desire to emigrate among the nurses in Tehran. Methods: This correlational study was performed on the nurses of public hospitals in Tehran. We used random classified sampling to determine the hospitals. A research questionnaire was also used, including three sections: demographic information, job satisfaction, and desire to emigrate. The content validity of the questionnaire was 9.5, and the obtained Cronbach's alpha was 0.89. The SPSS software was used to analyze the data. Results: The average level of the desire to emigrate was high (30.2). The job satisfaction of the participants was reported to be moderate. There was a significant negative correlation between job satisfaction and desire to emigrate (p < 0.05, r =-0.24). The correlation between job satisfaction aspects, including the job situation, job environment, salary and benefits, and social attitude to the nursing profession with the desire to emigrate, was also meaningful. However, there was not any statistical relationship between colleagues in the job environment and the job's effect on the personal life and the desire to emigrate. Conclusion:This study showed that the nurses had a high desire to emigrate. There was a significant relationship between the desire to emigrate and the job satisfaction of nurses. Increasing the satisfaction of different aspects of the job can prevent the educated and valuable members in the healthcare system from leaving the country.

“…On the one hand, Filipino nurses' movement through provincial towns and small cities highlights issues that have long plagued the Philippines' health care system: the lack of funding for full-time positions within public hospitals, inequalities among rural and urban health institutions, and a for-profit education system that generated an oversupply of nursing graduates. Yet, as noted by Thompson and Walton-Roberts (2019), seemingly local problems are also constituted by issues that go beyond national borders. In the case of the Philippines, the nursing profession's status as a prime "export product" (Choy 2003;Guevarra 2010) led government officials to invest more on Filipino nurses' overseas employability than on health services in Philippine hospitals and clinics (Cabanda 2017).…”

Understanding International Immobility through Internal Migration: “Left behind” Nurses in the Philippines

Migration scholars have tended to portray internal mobility as a step toward broader cross-border movement, reinforcing the notion of ongoing progress toward international migration. This article argues for a need to recognize how internal mobility can also explain international immobility, or why people do not move across national borders. Using the case of Filipino nurses, we argue that while internal migration does allow aspiring migrants to build the potential ability to emigrate, individual trajectories are much more diverse and multi-directional, often prolonging or reinforcing their international immobility. As a result, and in our case study, the costs and burdens of constant internal movement can also alter nurses’ migration aspirations, prompting them to either alter their original goals or acquiesce to their inability to leave their origin countries. This article calls for migration scholarship to address not only a “mobility bias” within the field but also the over-focus on international migration, rather than internal mobility, as a subject of study.

“…Scholars have criticized the framing of migration within the SDGs as territorially fixated (Hennebry et al 2018;Nijenhuis and Leung 2017). They have questioned the gendered character and experiences of migration as underrepresented (Gammage and Stevanovic 2018;Hennebry et al 2018;Holliday et al 2019) and describe how irregularity (Elias and Holliday 2018) and discrimination (Thompson and Walton-Roberts 2018) have been inadequately addressed by the global development goals. Adger et al (2019) fundamentally question the representation of migration in the SDGs, as still seeing migration as an exception rather than a normality.…”

Migration and justice in the era of sustainable development goals: a conceptual framework

Migration and mobility are major characteristics of societies worldwide. The reasons for and pathways of migrations vary, as do perceptions of migration. Political debates are often organised normatively: the debate on the sustainable development goals presents migration foremost as a development issue resulting from global inequalities. The problems faced by particular migrants, and what a more sustainable approach to migration would look like are, therefore, often lost in political debates. We aim to address those gaps: the article conceptualizes, based on established academic debates, how sustainability in migration can be addressed systematically, which aspects are important for a more sustainable migration process and which trade-offs and injustices exist from several perspectives. We create a conceptual framework of sustainability in migration processes, building on the concepts of inter- and intragenerational justice, commonly accepted as the core of the sustainability concept. We apply this conceptual framework to empirical findings on labour migration and multilocality in Kyrgyzstan. The case enables consideration of the nested system effects of scale and translocality. This research is novel because it bridges the divided literature on migration, justice and sustainability, integrates theoretical and empirical insights and provokes a debate on which kind of migration we want to achieve.
