Demography & Diaspora: Enhancing Contributions to Migration & Development

以跨民族主义取代永久流离失所成为移徙的主导模式，对人口统计和移徙研究几乎没有影响。该项目力求重新思考移徙的人口概念，以纳入侨民、循环移徙和跨国联系等重要因素。它的目的是展示如何通过一系列定量和定性研究，创造性地使用传统的人口数据，从而对侨民产生重要的见解。将对六个国家进行个案研究，以增进对侨民的发起、维持和重要性及其在促进发展和减少原籍国贫困方面的潜力的了解。

The replacement of permanent displacement by transnationalism as the dominant paradigm in migration has had little impact on demographic measurement and study of migration. This project seeks to rethink demographic concepts of migration to incorporate important elements such as diaspora, circular migration and transnational linkages. It aims to show how innovative use of traditional demographic data with a range of quantitative and qualitative research can yield important insights into diaspora. Case studies of six countries will be undertaken to increase understanding of the initiation, maintenance and significance of diaspora and its potential for enhancing development and reducing poverty in origins.
