School of migrant children, an ethnography in an unregistered migrant school in Beijing

2012

This thesis discusses about the challenge of education for migrant children in the rapidly urbanized Chinese society. An ethnographic research was conducted in one of the unregistered migrant schools in Beijing. Through a triangulation of research methods of participatory observation, semi-structured and life history interview, as well as photography, the research, from emic perspectives, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the migrant schools in education provision to migrant children, understands the gaps between policy commitments and on-the-ground delivery of public education provision, and raises a few policy recommendations of developing the migrant schools and improving educ…

Regional concentration of university graduates : The role of high school grades and parental background

2020

In this paper, we analyse long-term changes in the regional distribution and migration flows of university graduates in Finland and Sweden. This study is based on detailed longitudinal population register data, including information on high school grades and parental background. We find a distinct pattern of skill divergence across regions in both countries over the last 3 decades. The uneven distribution of human capital has been reinforced by the mobility patterns of university graduates, for whom regional sorting by high school grades and parental background is evident. Our findings indicate that traditional measures of human capital concentration most likely underscore actual regional …

Studies on the determinants of migration and the spatial concentration of labour

2003

This thesis consists of five empirical studies which seek to understand the processes behind interregional migration decisions and the spatial concentration of labour. The empirical studies are preceded by an introductory chapter that, among other topics, discusses spatial concentration in Finland between 1980 and 2000, and surveys prior evidence on the determinants of migration. The thesis mainly utilises Finnish longitudinal population census data from 1993?1996. A variety of advanced microeconometric methods are used in the modelling of the migration phenomenon to ensure robustness and the reliability of the results. The results of the thesis imply that person-specific productivity has h…

The Slow Violence of Deportability

2020

In 2015, Finland, like other European countries, received an unprecedented number of asylum seekers. Later, in the aftermath of what we prefer to call the ‘refugee reception crisis’, the deportation of those who had received negative asylum decisions began. The Finnish Immigration Service significantly tightened its policies after 2015. Increasingly strict asylum criteria have resulted in deportations at a level never seen before. Furthermore, protests against deportations have increased and become publicly salient. In this chapter we theorize deportation as a form of slow violence that hurts not only its main target but also people nearby. While a forced removal can be seen as a single, po…

Losing a Job and (Dis)incentives to Move

2020

Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan työpaikan menettämisen ja muiden taloudellisten ja ei-taloudellisten kannustimien vaikutuksia alueelliseen muuttoliikkeeseen. Käytämme yhdistettyä työnantaja-työntekijäaineistoa sekä tietoja alueellisista asuntomarkkinoista. Työpaikan menettäneillä tarkoitamme heitä, jotka menettävät työpaikkansa toimipaikan sulkemisen tai joukkoirtisanomisen takia. Työpaikan menetys lisää henkilön muuttoalttiutta noin 80 prosentilla. Työpaikan menettäneet näyttäisivätkin reagoivan taloudellisiin kannustimiin, sillä alhainen oletettu palkkataso ja korkeat asuntojen hinnat alueella ovat yhteydessä lisääntyneeseen muuttoalttiuteen alueelta, josta henkilö on jäänyt työttömäksi…

Do People Follow Jobs of Do Jobs Follow People? : The Case of Finland in an International Context

2016

Traditionally, people are believed to follow jobs; however, a contradictory view that jobs follow people has also gained popularity. In this study, two methods are used to analyze regional growth processes in Finland between 1990 and 2010, and the results are compared with the findings obtained elsewhere. In accordance with the results from many countries, the conventional regional adjustment model shows that people have largely followed jobs in Finland, i.e., that regional growth is demand induced. A closer examination suggests, however, that highly educated people drive regional change in Finland and that economic fluctuations also have an effect. Another approach, based on the Granger ca…

Seutukuntien lähtö- ja tulomuuton välinen yhteys Suomessa

2015

Tutkimuksen aiheena on seutukuntien lähtö- ja tulomuuton välinen yhteys Suomessa vuosina 1994–2012. Yhteyttä tutkittiin korrelaation avulla. Tulokseksi saatiin, että seutukuntien lähtö- ja tulomuuttoasteiden välillä on Suomessa huomattava positiivinen korrelaatio. Muiden muuttoliikkeiden välisten suhteiden osalta Suomessa havaittiin positiivinen korrelaatio tulo- ja nettomuuttoasteiden välillä sekä negatiivinen korrelaatio lähtö- ja nettomuuttoasteiden välillä. Lähtö- ja tulomuuton välinen tarkastelu jaettiin vuosittaisten korrelaatioiden perusteella kahteen ajanjaksoon. Molemmilta ajanjaksoilta tutkittiin erikseen, kuinka seutukunnat sijoittuvat kun niitä ryhmiteltiin lähtö- ja tulomuuttoa…
