本文认为，在移民（和其他）研究中使用的分析概念，最有效地采用经验时，他们的方法论基础，其发展的性质，得到充分理解。通过长期定性研究开发的归纳设计的概念框架是（重新）思考移民的一种有用方式，可以使研究人员摆脱外部强加的框架，类别和概念化的限制。为了提出这一论点，我们使用了生活方式移徙的概念，并仔细考虑了这一术语的发展方式，不是为了涵盖一个离散或同质的移徙者类别，而是作为一种分析工具和思考移徙问题的另一种方式。从一个具体的尝试操作化生活方式的移民定量研究的密切检查的推动力，我们被引导考虑使用（移民）标签的政治和治理的影响，以及类型的移民之间的重叠和协同作用理解为通知的意义和理解的做法。在此，我们一方面具体探讨经济因素如何与移徙中的生活方式相互交织，另一方面探讨生活方式作为想象力、愿望和生活方式在其他移徙进程中的作用，这些移徙进程不一定被称为生活方式移徙。
This article argues that analytical concepts used in migration (and other) research are most effectively employed empirically when their methodological underpinnings, and the nature of their development, are fully understood. Inductively designed conceptual frameworks developed through long-term qualitative research are a useful way of (re)thinking migration that can free researchers from the constraints of externally-imposed frameworks, categories and conceptualisations. In order to make this argument, we use the concept of lifestyle migration and consider closely the ways in which this term was developed, not to capture a discrete or homogenous category of migrants, but rather as an analytical tool and an alternative way of thinking about migration. Drawing impetus from a close examination of a specific attempt to operationalise lifestyle migration in quantitative research, we are led to consider the political and governance implications of using (migration) labels, and the overlaps and synergies between types of migration understood as practices informed by meanings and understandings. Here, we specifically explore, on the one hand, how economic factors intersect with lifestyle in migration and, on the other hand, the role of lifestyle as imagination, aspiration and way of living in other migration processes not necessarily labelled lifestyle migration.
