Individual consequences of international migration in the life course

在西方知识经济中，国际移徙已演变为经济增长的基本前提，并越来越多地影响社会地位和个人生活机会的分布。本研究项目的目的是以从德国移民和再移民到德国为例，考察国际移民对未来生活进程的个别影响。按照社会不平等和分层方面的生命历程研究的四个成熟维度分析了结果：就业和收入、福祉和生活满意度、伙伴关系和家庭以及社会关系和社会参与。该项目基于目的地-原籍-移徙-方法。这一概念认为，移徙的后果不仅仅是移徙者融入接受国(目的地)的问题。此外，通过与原籍国(原籍)的非流动人口进行比较，并根据移徙过程(移徙)期间个人生命历程中的具体轨迹，分析了其后果。该项目是一项为期八年的长期研究计划。实证分析依赖于德国移民和再移民小组研究(GERPS)的数据，该研究将在本项目过程中建立。这一纵向数据集首次为研究国际移徙对生命历程的影响提供了全面的经验基础。

In western knowledge economies international migration has evolved into an essential precondition for economic growth and increasingly shapes the distribution of social positions and individual life chances. The aim of this research project is to examine the individual consequences of international migration on further life course, based on the example of emigration from and remigration to Germany. The consequences are analysed along four well established dimensions of life course research in social inequality and stratification: employment and income, well-being and life satisfaction, partnership and family as well as social relationships and social participation. The project is based on the Destination-Origin-Migration-Approach. This concept considers the consequences of migration not only as a question of migrants integration in receiving societies (destination). Additionally, the consequences are analysed by comparison with the non-mobile population of the country of origin (origin) and as a result of the specific trajectories in individual life courses during the migration process (migration). The project is planned as a long-term study over a period of eight years. The empirical analyses rely on data of the German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS) which will be established in the course of this project. For the first time, this longitudinal data set provides a comprehensive empirical basis for studying the consequences of international migration on the life course.
