Declining or Waning
- Fertility and Family Formation Among Migrants:
Research on fertility behaviors and family formation among migrant populations has decreased, possibly due to a shift in focus towards economic integration and labor-related topics. - Historical Perspectives on Migration:
There is a noticeable decline in studies that focus on historical migration trends and their implications for contemporary migration issues, suggesting a move towards more immediate and practical concerns. - Cultural Assimilation Models:
The traditional models of cultural assimilation are being replaced by more nuanced approaches that consider multiculturalism and transnationalism, leading to lesser emphasis on assimilationist frameworks. - Regional Studies of Specific Migrant Groups:
While specific case studies were once prevalent, there is now a broader focus on comparative studies and transnational issues, resulting in fewer publications dedicated to specific regional migrant populations. - Crime and Deviance Among Immigrants:
Research exploring the relationship between immigration and crime has become less common, as the journal increasingly prioritizes studies that highlight positive contributions of migrants to society.
