Individualisation of migration from the East? Comparison of different socio-demographic groups and their migration intentions
Abstract: Recent studies on Eastern European migration argue that moving for self-development reasons is becoming increasingly common among this group. Furthermore, it is suggested that migration from the East is becoming individualised and less dependent on social surroundings.
