ALT Front cover of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies article 'The situated and everyday cultivation of transcultural capital in educational and home settings for migrant youth in Scotland' by Helen Packwood & Nissa Finney. ABSTRACT Scholars have identified that many young migrants employ transcultural capital to navigate difference in everyday life. In some cases, this enables migrants to resist social marginalisation, articulate empathy and challenge social hierarchies. This paper focuses on the significance and potential of the school, family and neighbourhood environments in the everyday cultivation of transcultural capital. To do this, we highlight the narratives of young migrants (age 16–18) in their final years of compulsory education, derived from a larger mixed-methods study on educational transitions in Scotland. This paper argues that (1) there is considerable variability between young migrants in the identification, development and mobilisation...

ALT Image shows front cover of Asian Population Studies journal article 'Spatial variation in fertility change at the county level in China' by Kuoshi Hu, Hill Kulu & Júlia Mikolai ABSTRACT Fertility change varies spatially in China, however, the trend and factors that influence the variation at the county level are not fully understood. We analysed the spatial variation in fertility change at the county level in China between 2000 and 2010 using spatial Durbin models. We focused on understanding whether and how changes in population composition, local context, and migration influence changing fertility levels across counties. The results show that fertility change varied in different regions from 2000 to 2010, supporting the idea that the stages of fertility transition are spatially different. An increase in females' educational level and a decrease in the share of the married population in a given county and its neighbouring counties are associated with fertility decline...

At present, the EU’s migration policy oscillates between management and control on the one hand, and integration and inclusion on the other. Yet integration ultimately unfolds in local communities and workplaces. Beyond employment and economic participation, these spaces can nurture both inclusion and democratic culture — after all, democracy often begins on the shop floor.

ALT Image shows cover page from the Bollettino della Società Geografica italiana [Bulletin of the Italian Geographical Society for the editorial: Geographies of Ageing: Trends and Perspectives Abstract Population ageing, a rapidly expanding and globally widespread phenomenon, manifests with varying intensity and patterns across territories, generating new social and demographic geographies. The nineteen articles collected in this thematic issue offer a broad and comprehensive overview of the interactions between population and territory, examining ageing from multiple perspectives and across different territorial and spatial scales, ranging from the European to the Italian context. Despite their methodological and thematic diversity, the contributions interweave to form a multifaceted narrative on the challenges and opportunities associated with ageing and its territorial implications.

ALT Image shows front cover of European Journal of Population article: "Residential Mobility and Housing Tenure Among Immigrants and Their Descendants: a Cross-National Analysis of Five European Countries" Open access, Published: 24 November 2025 Authors: Joseph Harrison, Isaure Delaporte, Hill Kulu, Júlia Mikolai, Chia Liu, Mary Abed Al Ahad, Julie Lacroix, Gunnar Andersson & Ariane Pailhé. Abstract: Understanding the housing and residential mobility of migrant populations is crucial to facilitate their integration into host societies. Yet, little is known about their experiences across generations, origin groups, and country contexts. This study investigates residential mobility and housing changes among immigrants and their descendants in five European countries (United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Sweden) with different housing markets and migrant populations. Using longitudinal data from 2010 to 2019, we first compare the risk of a residential move across migrant...
