Description
Het belang van internationale migratie voor demografische evoluties in Europa is de voorbije decennia sterk toegenomen. De impact van migratie voor de bevolkingssamenstelling op verschillende geografische niveaus is moeilijk te bepalen op langere termijn, omdat vaak gebruik wordt gemaakt van geaggregeerde indicatoren en modellen, die geen rekening de levensloop van migranten. Met exhaustieve longitudinale microdata over migranten (en hun nakomelingen) die meerdere decennia beslaan, analyseert dit project de associatie tussen levenslooptransities en ruimtelijke mobiliteit op individueel en huishoudensniveau. Gebruik makend van individual-based models uit biostatistiek, wordt de informatie over levenslooptransities bij migranten geïntegreerd in een dynamisch microsimulatiemodel, dat in dit project wordt gebruikt om modellen voor ziektetransmissie te informeren over heterogeniteit van de bevolking naar migratieachtergrond.
Project result
International migration has gained considerable importance in the demography of European societies in recent decades. The long-term implications of migration for population dynamics on various geographical levels are difficult to ascertain, however, due to the continued reliance on aggregate-level measures and models that fail to consider the life course of migrants in receiving countries. Using population-wide longitudinal microdata on migrants (and their descendants) spanning several decades, this project analyses the association between life course transitions and spatial mobility in migrant populations at the individual and household level. In keeping with individual-based modelling in biostatistics, the information on life course transitions in migrant populations is integrated into a dynamic microsimulation model, which in this project is used to inform disease transmission models of population heterogeneity by migrant background.
