3/ The key finding: subjective risk-taking matters for wanting to move onward, while objective risk-taking shows no clear effect. Staying and return aspirations, meanwhile, are shaped by employment, language skills, gender, and wealth.
4/ This suggests that policies focusing only on external risks may miss something crucial: people’s own perception of risk — and that perception strongly shapes their aspirations.
This is a big day! Today, I will be defending my PhD dissertation titled 'Navigating Risks, Shaping Mobilities.' I am very excited to share the results of this 5-year long research with friends, family and colleagues.

📢Excited to share our new paper, now published open access in @scmrjems! Together with @AysenUstubici and @ezgielci35, we explore a critical question: To what extent are migration aspirations influenced by border closures or employment opportunities? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
7/10 Analytically, our findings show the need for more evidence-based research on why it's crucial to include risk-taking attitudes in migration studies. Considering these attitudes makes the effectiveness of border externalization policies less certain.
8/10 We hope our findings inspire further research and inform public, academic, and policy discussions on migration. Special thanks to our participants, colleagues, and supporters who made this research possible.
