Declining or Waning
- Traditional Labor Migration Models:
There has been a noticeable decline in research focused solely on traditional labor migration models, as the discourse shifts towards more nuanced understandings of migration that incorporate social, cultural, and emotional dimensions. - Homogeneous Experiences of Migrants:
The journal has seen less emphasis on presenting migrants as a monolithic group, with increasing recognition of intersectionality and diversity within migrant populations. - Static Perspectives on Integration:
Research that treats integration as a fixed process rather than a dynamic and ongoing experience has diminished, as scholars increasingly acknowledge the evolving nature of migrant integration. - Focus on Economic Contributions Alone:
There is a waning interest in solely quantifying the economic contributions of migrants, with more emphasis placed on social and cultural impacts as well as human rights considerations. - Overarching Theories without Empirical Evidence:
Theoretical discussions that lack empirical grounding are becoming less frequent, as the journal increasingly prioritizes studies that provide robust evidence from real-world contexts.
