- Reposted by MigrantLifeMeanwhile, in a study using the German SOEP data, @ischiathere.bsky.social and Hill Kulu demonstrate that motherhood reduces women’s labor market participation across immigrant groups — but its impact is stronger for European immigrant women because they start out with higher baseline participation.

- Reposted by MigrantLifeUsing register data from France, @jharrison37.bsky.social & H. Kulu, together with I. Delaporte & A. Pailhé, find that immigrants from North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa & their descendants are less likely to own a home & instead more likely to move to social renting compared to the native group.
- Reposted by MigrantLifeExamining data from Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland, J. Lacroix, @ischiathere.bsky.social, @maryabedalahad.bsky.social, H. Kulu, together with G. Andersson, show that immigrants and refugees tend to move to urban areas following initial settlement and dispersal policy.

- Julie Lacroix et al have published in International Migration Review - #Immigrant #Refugee #Mobility Across #Urban #Rural Continuum in 3 #European Countries. They find immigrants contribute little to suburban-/rural-isation. Refugees relocate to urban areas after restrictions doi.org/10.1177/0197...

- 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.

- 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!
- @sarahchristison.bsky.social presented in the final session of the Symposium looking at #housing & #family formation patterns in the UK!
- @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!
- Andreas Höhn presented at the Symposium on joint work looking at #working life expectancies of #immigrants and their #descendants in the #UK with interesting findings by origin group and sex using #multistate methods!

- 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.
- The symposium delegates are enjoying the sun in St Salvator’s Quad outside the Lower College Hall symposium venue! We are pleased to have such a great turnout with enthusiastic participation in the sessions so far!
- Our current and past MigrantLife team members @maryabedalahad.bsky.social & @ischiathere.bsky.social chaired the first two sessions of the day on Health & Migrant mobility and dispersal!
- We have kickstarted the MigrantLife #Symposium this morning in sunny St Andrews! We look forward to the 1.5 days of presentations & discussions on #migrant #research! Our PI, Hill Kulu, opened the symposium with the progress on the MigrantLife project!
