● High-skilled migrants
● Lifestyle migrants
● Investment migrants
● Undocumented migrants
Guiding questions:
● Definition and main concepts
● How has the situation of this type of migration changed/evolved over the last decades? Give key figures and facts.
● Summarize the state-of-the-art for this type of migration: what is the debate about?
● Briefly introduce a case study (a piece of research or a research project) that has inspired you.
Work methodology
