@migrantlife.bsky.social
ERC Advanced Grant MigrantLife project aims at understanding Life Trajectories of Immigrants and Their Descendants in Europe and Projecting Future Trends. Headed by Professor Hill Kulu at the University of St Andrews.
Our previous team member @ischiathere.bsky.social & Nissa Finney contributed to a @bspsuk.bsky.social panel on future research on the #children of #immigrants! The panel discussed data gaps, specific themes/theories related to their unique societal status, methodologies & interdisciplinarity.

The final presentation was delivered by @sarahchristison.bsky.social who looked at #housing, #partnership & #fertility of immigrants & descendants in the #UK. Births were most likely for homeowners & homeownership entry is heterogenous regardless of partnership which may suggest disadvantage.

@maryabedalahad.bsky.social jumped from France to #Sweden to look at #homeownership, #marriage & #childbirth among #immigrants & their #descendants. She shows greater life event convergence to the Swedish natives across migrant generations & the importance of homeownership for other life events.

@jharrison37.bsky.social is next presenting his work on #births, #partnerships & residential #mobility of #immigrants & #descendants in #France! He shows that African immigrants exhibit higher event intensity, some fertility convergence across generations & that residential barriers persist.

@jiseonbaek.bsky.social presented her PhD work on the #fertility & #employment link for #immigrants & #descendants in the #UK. She shows with #multiprocess modelling that we underestimate #childbearing for various migrant groups & its implications on how we view their childbearing & #career paths.

@parthpandya.bsky.social kicks off MigrantLife presentations at @bspsuk.bsky.social Conference 2025! They presented on #UK #residentialmobility and its link to #household characteristics specifically household #income and #partnership status.

Andrew Ibbetson was the final presenter of the Symposium. Andrew presented on migrant #projections of #family formation patterns in the #UK using #microsimulation methods! It’s Andrew’s last day working for MigrantLife so his presentation is a nice conclusion and we wish him well for the future!

@jiseonbaek.bsky.social presented this morning at the Symposium on the #endogeneity of #fertility and #employment in the #UK! Ji showed that not adjusting for endogeneity underestimates the employment penalty and overestimates fertility.

Our PhD student @parthpandya.bsky.social presented preliminary findings from their third paper on UK #residential #mobility & #employment changes for #immigrants & #descendants! They showed heterogeneities in moving depending on employment entry timing & the implications for #lifecourse #stability.

Our very own @ischiathere.bsky.social presented on #motherhood & #employment for #descendants in #Germany vs natives! She showed interesting findings particularly between different migrant groups in Germany and employment changes particularly #parttime work between first and second births!

The Symposium keynote was delivered by Prof Inta Mierina (University of Latvia). Inta presented on the themes of nationalism, nation building, (anti-)immigration sentiment & how migrant origin affects societal acceptance. Inta also reflected on her work on immigrant ex/inclusion across local areas.
