UNDERSTANDING VOLUNTARY AND FORCED MIGRATION
RESEARCH AND DATA NEEDS
To be held in-person at the University of Lille, LEM (France)
23-24 May 2024
The aim of the conference is to bring together leading academic scientists and researchers, members of international organizations and data producers to share their experiences and research results on all aspects of voluntary and forced international migration. The conference also intends to assess limitations in current data and explore the new requirements and data-gathering strategies.
The organizing committee invites the submission of high-quality academic papers that use different datasets (administrative, survey, experimental). Topics related to the voluntary and forced international migration include, but are not limited to:
- What drives mobility and the choice of migratory routes?
- What factors and policies influence the quality of the socio-economic integration of migrants?
- How does integration impact immigrants' health?
- What shapes natives' attitudes towards immigrants?
- What is the difference between voluntary and forced migration?
- What do we know about environmentally-triggered migration?
