Mobilizing in borderline citizenship regimes : a comparative analysis of undocumented migrants’ collective actions

This article seeks to explain how and why groups and networks of undocumented migrants mobilizing in Berlin, Montréal, and Paris since the beginning of the 2000s construct different types of claims. The authors explore the relationship between undocumented migrants and state authorities at the local level through the concept of the citizenship regime and its specific application to undocumented migrants (which they describe as the “borderline citizenship regime”). Despite their common formal exclusion from citizenship, nonstatus migrants experience different degrees and forms of exclusion in their daily lives, in terms of access to certain rights and services, recognition, and belonging within the state (whether through formally or nonformally recognized means). As a result, they have an opportunity to create different, specific forms of leeway in the society in which they live. The concurrence of these different degrees of exclusion and different forms of leeway defines specific conditions of mobilization. The authors demonstrate how the content of their claims is influenced by these conditions of mobilization

Demographic Change and Migration (2017) It is widely believed that migration will play a significant role in defining the future shape of Europe’s population. This short project was an attempt to review the evidence on some of the potential implications of this. Another objective was to help define the scope of any future work done by the JPI MYBL. For the purpose of this report, “migration” includes any change of normal residence that involves a move over a significant distance, to a new country or within a country, so that the new location becomes his or her own “usual residence”. This includes movement into and out of Europe, movement between countries and regions within Europe, and, though largely neglected here, the movement of refugees, family members, and students. The focus of the report is on the implications of migration for an ageing society (and not migration overall). In seven months an interdisciplinary group of researchers from Europe and Canada identified 55 different research gaps and 14 data infrastructure requirements. These gaps and requirements can be clustered in four main themes addressing the question how well migrants are received in host societies (Chapter 2), how they fare in the workforce (Chapter 3), in terms of health (Chapter 3) and in the pension system of the host society (Chapter 4). The Full Report of the project Demographic Change and Migration can be downloaded. Outline of the report The Core of the project ‘’Demographic Change and Migration’’ consists of the four thematic chapters which are Attitudes to Immigration and the Ageing of Societies, Migrants in the Health and Social Care Workforce, Health Among Older Populations of Migrant Origin, Health Among Older Populations of Migrant Origin and Migrants in the Pension System

Données d’enquêtes démographiques africaines : des accès plus performants

Le nombre d’enquêtes démographiques et de données disponibles s’est accru considérablement durant ces dernières décennies, tandis que les évolutions technologiques permettaient de nouvelles utilisations des données. Nous retraçons brièvement ces évolutions, également liées aux besoins accrus d’indicateurs pour mesurer les Objectifs de développement promus par les Nations Unies, et qui ont entraîné la mise en place de dispositifs internationaux performants pour l’archivage et la diffusion des données d’enquêtes démographiques. Pour les enquêtes africaines, seront présentées trois autres sources complémentaires : les archives nationales de données des instituts de statistique, l’Inventaire des recensements et enquêtes démographiques en Afrique (IREDA) et l’Inventaire d’enquêtes DEMOSTAF, avec quelques constats tirés des expériences de leurs protagonistes en vue d’améliorer la connaissance et l’accès aux enquêtes démographiques
