Introduction: Mobile Aspirations? Youth Im/Mobilities in the Asia-Pacific

Abstract: Young people in the Asia-Pacific increasingly move around for work, education and leisure, and combinations thereof. Asians make up 41 per cent of international migrants worldwide (United Nations 2017) and the region represents diverse flows of both inbound and outbound, short-and long-term migrations. Settler nations with aging populations, like Australia and New Zealand, strategically seek to draw on the mobility aspirations of burgeoning youth populations elsewhere in the region as a migrant labour force bu… Show more

“…As Coe (2016) and Baas and Yeoh (2019) argue, migrants' life courses and relationships across space are transtemporal as well as transnational. Furthermore, attention to intimate relationships under conditions of mobile transitions (Robertson et al, 2017) can also help us to attend to and critique the universalising tendencies of Western models of both transition and migration (Robertson et al, 2018).…”

“…Little research captures transnationally mobile young people's life plans, aspirations and imaginings regarding their intimate relationships with people and places specifically in the context of their navigation of new and uncertain pathways to adulthood.Our focus on the temporalities and spatialities of intimacy builds on this scholarship in transnational migration and critical youth studies but specifically aims to draw out how intimate timelines and timings intertwine with the 'flexibilised' passaging towards adulthood in contexts where young people are on the move and their social relationships may be spread across transnational space and across diverse cultural understandings of the construction of adult life. We position this as part of an integrated, relationally oriented transnational youth mobilities agenda(Robertson, Harris, & Baldassar, 2017;Robertson et al, 2018; see alsoReynolds & Zontini, 2016) that draws productively on both transnational migration studies and critical youth studies to explore more deeply how, for mobile youth, family and friend relationships and networks of people and places are becoming increasingly entangled and multifaceted under conditions of complex trajectories and matrixes of mobility and the changing nature of transitions to adulthood.…”

“…Race and racism are especially relevant for black and ethnic minority Europeans, whose trajectories remain underresearched (Barwick, 2018). Future research will also need to explore how synchrony and asynchrony shape youth migrations outside Europe (Robertson et al, 2018a).…”

“…Such attention to the intersections of intimate timelines and timings with transnational mobility -in other words, to 'intimate chronomobilities' -adds critical insights to both the emergent 'temporal turn' in migration research and the increasing scholarly interest in intimacy and migrant (im)mobility. With forms of transient, middling migration on the rise globally, and more young people than ever before undertaking forms of transnational mobility in young adulthood (Robertson et al 2018), the experience of 'intimate chronomobilities' is relevant to many transnational contexts beyond Asian migration to Australia. Geddie's (2013) work, for example, suggests that young international graduates in the UK and Canada, where policies have similarly allowed for increasingly transient and transitionary forms of migration, similarly centre intimate relationships within their mobility decisions.…”
