Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines the multifaceted nature of migration, including the formation and diversity of immigrant social networks, the role of cultural capital in immigrant entrepreneurship, and the impact of remittances on household economic outlooks. It also explores historical perspectives on immigration and diversity in cities, public attitudes towards immigrants based on skill and ethnicity, and the characteristics of temporary visa programs for labor migration. Furthermore, the journal investigates migration diplomacy, irregular and forced migration in Asia, the bureaucratic processes shaping migrant legality, and circular migration patterns during displacement. It also analyzes job stability trends among immigrant and non-immigrant workers, factors influencing immigration attitudes in contexts of cultural proximity, the integration of skilled refugees through multinational enterprises, and the complexities of migrant flows and legal statuses in transit countries. Finally, it addresses deportation attitudes, particularly concerning LGBTQ+ immigrants, and the socio-psychological factors influencing migration aspirations and willingness to migrate irregularly.
