2276 - Innovative Methods in Immigration Research

Sun, August 12, 10:30am to 12:10pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin Hall 12

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

In terms of data, migrants are often classified as a “hidden” population. Due to sparse data, information on their movement and integration within some countries is relatively unknown. For example, migration statistics, in some jurisdictions, are few. Data on immigrant integration can be even more elusive. At the same time, however, new quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection on migrant populations are being developed, including different forms of big data, new estimation techniques, and innovative ethnographic work. This session seeks to discuss some of the most innovative methods researchers are using to measure the movement of migrants globally and their integration into country populations.
