This study offers new insights into the phenomenon of overeducation by showing that the overeducation rates among immigrants and the wage returns of overeducated immigrants are closely linked to their admission classes. The overeducation rate in Denmark is highest among immigrants from countries that became members of the EU after 2003, 61% of whom are overeducated as compared to 24% of natives. Controlling for demographic and educational characteristics, citizens from these new EU countries, as well as reunified family members, refugees, and students, are highly overeducated compared to natives, while this is not the case for citizens from the Nordics and older EU countries, that is, those that joined the EU before 2003. Furthermore, overeducated higher-educated citizens from the Nordics and from older EU countries only suffer minor wage losses, while other admission classes typically earn between 17% and 36% less than if they had work appropriate to their educational levels. For highly educated refugees, the gap is even larger. These results emphasize the importance of the differences in immigrants’ outside options (e.g., wages and living conditions in the home country) and the admission requirements they face. The results also highlight the potential gains for immigrants as well as their host countries of acknowledging immigrants’ educational skills.

This article will explore three individuals (nurse Muriel Knox Doherty, pediatrician William Robert Fitzgerald Collis, and administrator Olga Eppel) who took on the role of caretakers but who were also, as James Young would call them, “eyewitness scribes”: those who aspire both “to represent the sense of discontinuity and disorientation in catastrophic events and to preserve [their] personal link to events — all in a medium that necessarily ‘orients’ the reader, creates continuity in events, and supplants his authority as witness.” While many scholars have explored the ethics, complexities, and textures of the stories of child survivors who were eyewitness scribes, comparatively little has been written about caretakers who had not been the targets of genocide but who developed an intimate connection with the youngest survivors, who felt compelled to write about these connections, and who were testifying and processing the trauma of the survivors under their care, all the while attempting to make sense of their own relationship with the Holocaust. As such, they serve a triple function of being active participants in healing, front-row spectators to survivors rebuilding their lives, and eyewitness scribes intent on telling stories of their caretaking as well as retelling the stories of the children who received their care for a broader audience.

Return migration literature over the years has developed a strand of work that focuses on the reintegration of migrants in their home countries. In labor migration, this scholarship has largely centered on the long-term and sustainable return and reintegration of migrant workers, and their potential contributions to local development. In comparison, the question of temporary reintegration has received far less attention, yet is an important avenue for extending current understandings of the complex processes of return and reintegration in international labor migration. This article contributes to this inquiry by considering how temporary reintegration unfolds at the intersection of involuntary return and immobility in the lives of migrant workers. Drawing on the narratives of 45 Filipino cruise workers who were repatriated to the Philippines and were unable to sail during the COVID-19 pandemic, I suggest that temporary reintegration can be understood as a grey window of return—a liminal process in which labor migrants re-work the temporality of their involuntary return and immobility in their home countries as they pursue opportunities for re-migration. I analyze how the landlocked seafarers temporarily re-embedded themselves in the home country by creating provisional, in-the-meantime lives to cope with the pandemic, while positioning themselves in “active waiting” in order to accelerate possibilities for re-migration. The analysis shows the different ways migrants exercise agency and resource mobilization in confronting their involuntary return, negotiating their immobility and re-working their aspirations and intentions to leave amid the structural constraints of a global crisis.

Although a large body of research demonstrates that policymakers generally respond to citizens’ preferences, immigration issues are often thought to elude this model of representation. It has been widely argued that immigration policymaking is characterized by an “opinion-policy gap” whereby immigration policies are more permissive than public preferences. However, we argue that immigration policy preferences have been poorly measured. Adopting a multidimensional approach, we disaggregate immigration into its component policies and focus specifically on asylum policy preferences. We test whether current asylum policies align with public opinion in Britain using an original conjoint experiment with realistic policy choices relative to the status quo. Contrary to the gap hypothesis, we show that the British public is not consistently in favor of more restrictive asylum policies. Our findings suggest that immigration policy preferences can be better understood by disaggregating the multidimensional policy field of immigration.

Digital trace data presents an opportunity for promptly monitoring shifts in migrant populations. This contribution aims to determine whether the number of European migrants in the United Kingdom (UK) declined between March 2019 and March 2020, using weekly estimates derived from the Facebook Advertising Platform. The collected data is disaggregated according to age, level of education, and country of origin. To examine the fluctuation in the number of migrants, a simple Bayesian trend model is employed, incorporating indicator variables for age, education, and country. The Facebook data indicates a downward trend in the number of European migrants residing in the UK. This result is further confirmed by the data from the Labour Force Survey. Notably, the outcomes reveal that in the run-up to Brexit, the most significant decline occurred among the age group of 20 to 29 years old – the largest migrant group – and the tertiary educated. This analyses could not be implemented with traditional data sources such as the Labour Force Survey, because this level of disaggregation is not provided. However, there are also important limitations associated with digital trace data, such as algorithm changes and representativeness. These limitations need to be addressed by employing sound statistical methodologies. Nevertheless, this research shows the potential of digital trace data in anticipating migration trends at a timely granularity and informing policymakers.

Although up-to-date information on the nature and extent of migration within the European Union (EU) is important for policymaking, timely and reliable statistics on the number of EU citizens residing in or moving across other member states are difficult to obtain. In this paper, we develop a statistical model that integrates data on EU migrant stocks using traditional sources such as census, population registers and Labour Force Survey, with novel data sources, primarily from the Facebook Advertising Platform. Findings suggest that combining different data sources provides near real-time estimates that can serve as early warnings about shifts in EU mobility patterns. Estimated migrant stocks match relatively well to the observed data, despite some overestimation of smaller migrant populations and underestimation for larger migrant populations in Germany and the United Kingdom. In addition, the model estimates missing stocks for migrant corridors and years where no data are available, offering timely now-casted estimates.
