In Doing Family on the Move: Highly-Skilled Migrants in Switzerland and Germany,Florian Tissot (2020) argues that the division of labor between paid work and carework among highly skilled migrant couples creates gendered hierarchies, especiallyin the context of career achievement when partners frequently relocate for professionalreasons. Tissot presents an approachable, well-researched analysis of how“motility” and “family strategies” often reproduce gendered inequalities, especiallytoward women in the family unit. However, the limited analysis of participants ofcolor restricts the scope of Tissot’s discussion of gendered hierarchies in migratingfamily units.

This paper discusses the integration of the health-care sector into the globalizedeconomy through the liberalization of trade in medical services. Governments andcompanies are increasingly hiring physicians from global labor markets, leading tothe widespread mobility of physicians from many low- and middle-income countriesto high-income countries. This mass movement of physicians, prompted by theglobal political economy, has hindered low- and middle-income countries’ ability toattract and retain domestically trained medical professionals, raising concerns aboutthe effects of this emigration on public health in countries of origin.

This article reconceptualizes “Balkan Islam” as a dynamic and translocal phenomenonshaped by migration, imperial legacies, and contemporary transnational processes.It moves beyond essentialist approaches by analyzing “Balkan Islam” as a contextdependentconfiguration of practices, institutions, and identities. Using aninterpretive and metamodern framework, the study highlights the oscillationbetween local and global, tradition and modernity. The findings show that “BalkanIslam” functions as a mediating space of intercultural dialogue, where diverse formsof belonging are continuously negotiated in historically plural societies.

This paper presents changes in the age composition of the Croatian populationfrom 1991 to 2021 using several analytical indicators to quantify and establish thelevel of aging of the country’s population. During the observed period, the share ofthe population aged 0–19 decreased from 26.2% to 19.2%, while the share of thepopulation aged 60 and over increased from 17.5% to 29.9%, making the Croatianpopulation one of the oldest in the world. Due to these demographic shifts, Croatiawill soon face economic, social, and financial difficulties, as fewer people contributeto the country’s pension and health-care systems.

This article explores the interplay between instrumental migration aspirationsand reverse remittances within transnational families. Based on semi-structuredinterviews with young Ukrainian migrants who moved to Czechia at ages 15–16, thearticle suggests that, after an initial phase of settling in and adapting, participantsshow a desire for financial independence from their non-migrating parents.Thus, their aspiration for independence is grounded in a deliberate rejection oftransnational financial dependence on their families. This sheds light on howfamily financial support may be perceived as undesirable for individual migrationaspirations.
