“…When people who migrate are young, migration inevitably shapes their transition to adulthood. As Lulle and King (2019) explain, youth transitions become more complex with the addition of international migration. Becoming an adult is a phase during which young people ‘experience enormous changes due to physical maturation, which is accompanied by cognitive, social/emotional and interpersonal changes’ (Juárez et al, 2013:7).…”

Italian youth mobility: The case for a Mediterranean model of ‘family-centred’ mobile transitions

This article seeks to advance our understanding of contemporary transnational youth mobility, drawing on the concept ‘mobile transitions’ to explore scholarly approaches to the mobility practices of young Italians moving abroad. We present a critical literature review of the intersections of migration, youth and transition studies to argue that the literature on youth transnational mobility currently features two contrasting models comprising a ‘transitions-focused’ Global South model and an ‘experiential-focused’ Global North model. This bifurcation fails to account for emergent regional models of mobility that may help to sharpen scholarly understandings of a new generation of youth ‘on the move’. We propose an alternative model positioned somewhere along the spectrum between the Global North and Global South models, which we define as the Mediterranean model of ‘family-centred’ transnational youth mobility. This model reflects aspects of both privileged, experiential youth migrations, which tend to undervalue the impact on transitions to adulthood, and economically driven youth migrations, which tend to focus more directly on the economic dimensions of youth to adulthood transitions. The Mediterranean model highlights more broadly how mobility enables and shapes transitions, which are simultaneously driven by both economic imperatives and individual experiential desires, and mediated through family and culture.

Do they need to integrate? The place of EU citizens in the UK and the problem of integration

This article aims to provide empirical evidence against the theory and practice of immigrant integration through the experience of EU citizens in the UK around Brexit. We demonstrate that, in the case of EU citizens, the outcomes of presumably successful 'integration' have been achieved while -and, we argue, because of the fact that -EU citizens have been treated as citizens (not migrants) and have been freed from the requirement to 'integrate'. On the basis of interviews, focus groups and a survey in the period 2016-18 we show meaningful incorporation of a variety of EU citizens of all backgrounds, including those from the so called 'low-skilled' presumably problematic to integrate subgroup. We claim that work, family, locality and time determine much of the intricacies of the incorporation journey. Integration governance which Brexit imposed on EU citizens can only threaten these outcomes.
