Dr. David Cairns is a Senior Researcher at the Centre for Research and Studies in Sociology, Lisbon University Institute (CIES, ISCTE-IUL).
This book explores several important aspects of the geographical mobility of young people in Europe today. The contributors discuss important issues such as migration in work and study alongside consideration of the meanings of various forms of mobility: short-term and long-term stays, voyages related to finding employment and avoiding unemployment, moves between different European member states and sojourns elsewhere. A number of significant commonalities emerge out of the contributions from the diverse range of contributors: the salience of national and extra-national identities in transnational movements, the significance of family and peer networks in mediating migratory movements and the impact of broader factors upon mobility patterns, including regional and national economic performance. Added to this mix are the impacts of, and implications upon, national and European youth mobility policies and the practice of youth mobility.
