“…Yet the direction of causality could also be reversed, as marriage plays an important role in the local institutionalization of the migratory phenomenon. The arrangement of traditional unions between emigrants and women in sending communities ensures the formers' loyalty towards the population left behind, including economic support (Guilmoto and Sandron 2000). A third of women who married in our sample during the observation period indeed left the country and most probably joined their husbands abroad, which corroborates the migrants' catch up of postponed births upon arrival in Italy and Greece.…”

Our knowledge of the interactions between international migration and fertility in sending countries is biased towards family members left behind, who constitute a minority and decreasing share of populations. We assess the potential for emigrants' social diffusion of low fertility into Albania and investigate how family behaviours are affected by indirect exposure to migration within the sending society, using data from multiple survey rounds. Effects arising from direct exposure within the family had a limited importance. Marriages were postponed and marital fertility was reduced because of the transformation of the larger social context, as indicated by the importance of community migrant networks and by women's increased aspirations, which are induced by the perception of the prospects and benefits of migration in the society at large. The effects of emigration on the fertility transition seem therefore to be independent of periodic fluctuations in population flows and their associated economic benefits.

“…The longitudinal analysis of both couple reunification and physical separation shows that these phenomena are interconnected. Our research also shows that, beyond the importance of economic factors and the diversification of outcomes to explain the dispersion of families (Findley, ; Guilmoto & Sandron, ), it is also important to consider the social logics at stake, as highlighted in previous research (Baizán et al, ; Nappa, ). The case of Burkinabe migration, in West Africa, complements the existing literature related to trans‐local families, mainly concerned with Eastern and Southern Africa (Amoateng & Richter, ; Camlin et al, ; Hosegood et al, ), as the historical and social contexts between these regions are not similar.…”

“…On the other hand, under the new economics of labour migration (NELM), migration aims at diversifying incomes, and there is a strategic interest in families remaining divided, since reuniting in the precarious environment of the place of destination can increase the vulnerability of the whole family (Beauchemin et al, ). In this way, empirical evidence from sub‐Saharan Africa shows that families may be temporarily dispersed in order to diversify incomes (Findley, ; Guilmoto & Sandron, ; Pilon & Vignikin, ), and the international LAT literature highlights that family reunification depends on the socioeconomic integration of the migrant partner in the destination country in relation to his/her housing, professional and financial situation—the very criteria that form the basis for reunification requirements under family reunification laws (Ambrosini, ; Baizán et al, ; Beauchemin et al, ; Bledsoe & Sow, ; González‐Ferrer, ).…”

This paper offers new evidence on the residential arrangements of couples in the context of migration and urbanisation in Africa, focusing on the case of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso's capital city. We use a mixed-methods approach, combining data from a survey on the family histories of migrants merged with data from the Ouagadougou Health and Demographic Surveillance System and qualitative interviews. The objective is to analyse how the migrants themselves perceive "living apart together", the extent of this phenomenon, its timing, and the factors influencing it.The longitudinal nature of our data specifically allows for the study of the drivers of couple reunification in Ouagadougou and of the physical separation of partners, whereby one goes to live away from Ouagadougou. Our results reveal that 25% of migrants in a union had a partner living outside Ouagadougou in 2015, and that the residential arrangements of such couples were associated with gender relations, family cycle, and integration into the city.

“…La théorie du réseau migratoire considère la migration comme un système d'acteurs sociaux. Ce système est défini par un ensemble de liens d'entraide qui relient les migrants et les non-migrants et qui favorisent la migration, grâce aux différentes formes d'appui qu'il apporte au migrant (Boyd 1989;Fawcett 1989;Guilmoto et Sandron 2000;Kritz et al 1992). La théorie des causes cumulatives stipule que le processus de migration modifie les conditions économiques et sociales du lieu d'origine, augmentent les inégalités de revenus et intensifient le sentiment de privation chez les non-migrants (Massey et al 1993(Massey et al , 1998.…”

Malgré la diversité des variables en jeu, les modèles explicatifs des migrations n'intègrent qu'imparfaitement la localité d'origine, comme échelle d'observation du comportement migratoire. La migration est souvent perçue comme productrice de territoires; à l'inverse, les spatialités locales sont-elles génératrices de mobilité? Sous quelles formes et selon quelles modalités? Cet article analyse les migrations internationales de la ville sénégalaise de Kaolack, en considérant plus particulièrement le rôle du quartier dans l'explication des dynamiques migratoires. Le quartier est considéré ici comme un espace historique et social relativement homogène et singulier. Les liens établis et maintenus d'une génération à l'autre se traduisent par des habitudes de vie commune et des modes d'organisation qui, probablement, agissent sur la propension à émigrer des habitants. Mots clés Quartier Á Migration internationale Á Réseaux sociaux Á Contexte local Á Rapports de voisinageAbstract Despite the diversity of the variables considered, explanatory models of migration do not fully incorporate the locality of origin as a scale of observation for migratory behaviour. Migration is often perceived to generate notions of territory; conversely, are local territories drivers of mobility? If so, in what forms, and by what means? This article analyses international migration from the city of Kaolack in Senegal, with particular focus on the role of the neighbourhood in migration dynamics. Here, the neighbourhood is seen as relatively homogeneous and singular historical and social entity. The ties that are established and maintained from one generation to the next take the form of shared lifestyles and modes of organization which may influence inhabitants' propensity to emigrate.B.
