Migration rhythms in trajectories of upward social mobility in Asia
Date: Wednesday, June 24
Time: 14:00
Venue: Room 221 [conference room], II floor, Centre of Migration Research, Pasteura 7, Ochota campus
Abstract:
How does migration across different geographic distances, domestic and international, play a role in family trajectories of upward social mobility? Drawing on research in four Asian urban contexts – Hanoi, Karachi, Manila, and Mumbai, this presentation presents select findings. Emphasis will be placed on three dimensions: spatial mobility (and immobility) as this emerges from the data, complemented by reflections on what this means for how we operationalize measures of migration, for instance, in survey research. Secondly, on work and income, in the context of growing and plural middle classes in urban Asia. And finally, on the salience of relationality and of specific individuals in family trajectories of upward social mobility.
