The second part of my Berlin trilogy is out in Global Networks! I explore how non-belonging can emerge from mobilities — but also how it can push young people to relocate or travel in search of connection and a sense of home. 1/3 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The thing about this article: there are *plenty* of migrants who want to move to these areas (eg in places like Brandenburg and Saxony in Germany) but too many of the locals have fascist sympathies and hound them out. That is a major problem, unaddressed in this piece.

New paper out in @science.org! “Brain drain” or “brain gain”? Effects of high-skilled international emigration on origin countries doi.org/10.1126/scie...

This is bleak reading

An economist who has spent several years publicly smearing me personally as an "activist" and "social engineer"… … because in addition to my influential academic research, I also advise policymakers… … now works directly for Donald Trump. www.whitehouse.gov/cea/informat...

Impossible to make any coherent comment on something so mind-boggling stupid.

A visualisation of how European states will likely develop in population numbers with vs. without immigration (based on average net migration levels). www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Vielleicht sollten wir ja mehr über Abwanderung als über Zuwanderung sprechen/ Maybe we should talk more about outmigration instead of immigration ...

Upward mobility? New paper on intergenerational mobility of the children of immigrants in 15 countries, with UK contribution from @alanmanning4.bsky.social [As you'd expect, UK looks pretty good.] www.iza.org/publications...

Employment rates by country of birth: historically, non-EU migrants to UK had relatively low employment rates, mostly reflecting low participation rates amongst women from some countries. No longer the case. [usual caveats on LFS data, but consistent with other sources.]

I spoke at @piie.com about the crisis in US immigration policy. The mass exclusion of US immigrants that begins in 10 weeks will eliminate jobs for US natives and raise the federal deficit (that is: will raise taxes on natives and our children). I go through some of the key nonpartisan research—>
