🚨New Publication🚨
A recent study published in @pnas.org by @athinaanas.bsky.social, @ezagheni.bsky.social
@mpidr.bsky.social + Helga de Valk examined the limitations of theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding gender-specific migration trends. www.demogr.mpg.de/go/predictin...

We hope this work initiates more critical perspectives on statistical methods for migration research 🚀

We also break down the main parts of globalization of migration by gender and show that thinking about gender inequality in the places people are coming from and going to is important to understand migration better, even on an aggregate level 🌍

We show that gravity-type models cannot predict gender-imbalanced migration flows well. This is partly because there is no theoretical framework that explains the gender composition of migration flows. But also not enough gender-disaggregated data to train models well 🤷‍♀️

📝 Excited to share my new publication with @ezagheni.bsky.social and Helga de Valk in @pnas.org where we look at gravity-type models for migration prediction. Our results suggest that ignoring gender makes these models less reliable 🌐👫 ⬇️

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of attending the 4th International Forum on Migration Statistics in Malmö, Sweden! 🌍
It was incredibly enriching to learn from practitioners and exchange perspectives with experts working on migration forecasting in the humanitarian sector. 📈

A team @mpidr.bsky.social examined professional migration of men and women in 48 countries using data from LinkedIn. It found that, although men aspire to migrate more often than women, globally, as many women as men migrate for a job.
