Finland’s preliminary population figure 5,525,487 at the end of September
Statistics Finland, October 24, 2019
[link removed]
Excerpt: According to Statistics Finland's preliminary data, Finland's population at the end of September was 5,525,487. During January-September Finland's population increased by 7,568 persons. The reason for the population increase was migration gain from abroad: the number of immigrants was 13,388 higher than that of emigrants. The number of births was 5,387 lower than that of deaths.
. . .
Altogether 24,618 persons immigrated to Finland from abroad and 11,230 persons emigrated from Finland during January-September period. The number of immigrants was 929 higher and the number of emigrants 4,442 lower than in the previous year. In all, 7,038 of the immigrants and 7,660 of the emigrants were Finnish citizens.

Birth rate keeps decreasing in 2018
Statistics Belgium, October 23, 2019
[link removed]
Summary: 117,800 babies were born in Belgium in 2018, i.e. a decrease of 1.1 % compared to 2017. This is what emerged from the provisional statistics on births in the year 2018. This statistic is based on the National Register of natural persons, pending detailed information from the statistical bulletins of births.
The mean age of women at childbirth in Belgium is 30.7 years. It is significantly higher in Brussels (31.8 years) than in Flanders and Wallonia (30.6 years and 30.5 years, respectively). The proportion of births to foreign mothers still remains the majority in Brussels, where it stands at 51.6%. It is only 21.8% in the Flemish Region and 18.5% in Wallonia. Finally, the total fertility rate still decreases to 1.61 child per woman. It is also higher in Brussels (1.75) than in the other regions

Population growth already at the same level as 2018
Statistics Netherlands, October 31, 2019
[link removed]
Excerpt: The population of the Netherlands is growing relatively rapidly this year. In the period up to and including September, 208 thousand immigrants settled here while 121 thousand emigrants left. Net migration therefore stood at 87 thousand, i.e. nearly 20 thousand up on the same period last year. Furthermore, 15 thousand inhabitants were added because the number of births exceeded the number of deaths. The number of births remained at a similar level as in the first three quarters of 2018, but mortality was down by over 3 thousand.

Putting Family First: Migration and Integration in Canada
By Harald Bauder
UBC Press, 288 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0774861266, $58.47

Paperback, ISBN: 0774861274, 120 pp., $35.95

Kindle, 1213 KB, ASIN: B07RB2M7ZY, $22.48
Book Description: When migrants reach their new home, we often interpret their settlement and integration as an individual process driven largely by the labour market. But family plays a crucial role. Putting Family First investigates the experience of immigrant families settling in the Greater Toronto area, from newcomers' initial reception to their deep involvement in and attachment to their receiving society. Contributors explore such themes as the policy environment, children and youth, gender, labour markets and work, and community supports in order to illustrate how the family context can be mobilized to facilitate the successful integration of newcomers.

At Europe's Edge: Migration and Crisis in the Mediterranean
By Ċetta Mainwaring
Oxford University Press, 240 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0198842511, $80.00
[link removed]
Kindle, 1198 KB, ASIN: B07X5BRL8W, $76.00
Book Description: The Mediterranean Sea is now the deadliest region in the world for migrants. Although the death toll has been rising for many years, the EU response remains fragmented and short sighted. Politicians frame these migration flows as an unprecedented crisis and emphasize migration control at the EU's external boundaries. In this context, At Europe's Edge investigates why the EU prioritizes the fortification of its external borders; why migrants nevertheless continue to cross the Mediterranean and to die at sea; and how EU member states on the southern periphery respond to their new role as migration gatekeepers. The book addresses these questions by examining the relationship between the EU and Malta, a small state with an outsized role in migration politics as EU policies place it at the crosshairs of migration flows and controls. The chapters combine ethnographic methods with macro-level analyses to weave together policymaker, practitioner, and migrant experiences, and
demonstrate how the Mediterranean is an important space for the contested construction of 'Europe'. This book provides rich insight into the unexpected level of influence Malta exerts on EU migration governance, as well as the critical role migrants and their clandestine journeys play in animating EU and Maltese migration policies, driving international relations, and producing Malta's political power. By centring on the margins, the book pushes the boundaries of our knowledge of the global politics of migration, asylum, and border security.

Undocumented Migration
By Roberto G. Gonzales, Nando Sigona, Martha C. Franco, and Anna Papoutsi
Polity, 192 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1509506942, $62.24
[link removed]
Paperback, ISBN: 1509531807, $22.95
[link removed]
Kindle, 456 KB, ASIN: B07Z2C7JJH, $21.80
Book Description: Undocumented migration is a global and yet elusive phenomenon. Despite contemporary efforts to patrol national borders and mass deportation programs, it remains firmly placed at the top of the political agenda in many countries where it receives hostile media coverage and generates fierce debate. However, as this much-needed book makes clear, unauthorized movement should not be confused or crudely assimilated with the social reality of growing numbers of large, settled populations lacking full citizenship and experiencing precarious lives.
From the journeys migrants take to the lives they seek on arrival and beyond, Undocumented Migration provides a comparative view of how this phenomenon plays out, looking in particular at the United States and Europe. Drawing on their extensive expertise, the authors breathe life into the various issues and debates surrounding migration, including the experiences and voices of migrants themselves, to offer a critical analysis of a hidden and too often misrepresented population.

India's Low-Skilled Migration to the Middle East: Policies, Politics and Challenges
By S. Irudaya Rajan and Prem Saxena
Palgrave Macmillan, 370 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 9811392234, $149.99
[link removed]
Kindle, 6364 KB, ASIN: B07Z1PQY22, $139.00
Book Description: This book provides new insights and research studies on how developing countries come to terms with the nationalisation policies of Gulf economies that provide employment for their nationals. Focusing on regions and countries that have traditionally been overlooked, it includes studies on labour migration from Egypt to the Middle East and from the Philippines to Lebanon, migrant experiences and policy prospects in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, and Indian migration to the Gulf.
The book fills a critical gap in migration research by studying migration from various Indian states, such as Tamil Nadu, Telugu-speaking states (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh), Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. It also explores the unexpected phenomenon of demographic windows of economic opportunity (not documented in demographic literature) observed in a few Arab countries due to older migrant expatriates returning to their home country; the impact of international out-migration on intergenerational educational mobility among children in migrant-sending households in Kerala; and forced migration of Kerala Muslims to the Gulf.

African Footballers in Europe: Migration, Community, and Give Back Behaviours
By Ernest Yeboah Acheampong, Malek Bouhaouala, and Michel Raspaud
Routledge, 180 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0367262975, $130.37
[link removed]
Kindle, 7970 KB, ASIN: B07YGVY9KQ, 178 pp., $49.95
Book Description: African Footballers in Europe traces the social and economic evolution of African football and examines the strategies and resources that players mobilise in their migrations, with a particular focus on ‘Give Back Behaviours’ (how players contribute to their countries or communities of origin). It shines new light on contemporary migrations, labour markets in sport, and processes of development in Africa.
Using a multidisciplinary approach and Weberian methodology to analyse players’ 'Give Back' behaviour, the book highlights the complex rationale behind this behaviour, based on a combination of social, cultural, and economic elements. It features interviews with former and current African professional players, providing a vivid picture of the role of communities in players’ migration projects, the allure of the European football market, and investment initiatives that can contribute to local and regional development.
This is a vital read for academics, researchers, and students of sport sciences, sociology of sport, sport management, sociology, geography, political sciences, management, sociology of Africa, migration studies, sociology of the labour market, and economic sociology. It is also an important resource for professional organisations, NGOs, football agents, football administrators, federations, confederations, and governments.

Quite apart from the social and political importance, East-West migration also poses a challenge to established theories of migration, as in most cases the migrant flow cannot be categorised as either refugee movement or a labour migration. Indeed much of the trans-border movement is not officially recognised, as many migrants are temporary, commuting, 'tourists' or illegal, and remain invisible to the authorities. This book focuses on Russian migration into Western Europe following the break-up of the Soviet Union. Helen Kopnina explores the concept of 'community' through an examination of the lives of Russian migrants in two major European cities, London and Amsterdam. In both cases Kopnina finds an 'invisible community', inadequately defined in existing literature. Arguing that Russian migrants are highly diverse, both
socially and in terms of their views and adaptation strategies, Kopnina uncovers a community divided by mutual antagonisms, prompting many to reject the idea of belonging to a community at all. Based on extensive interviews, this fascinating and unique ethnographic account of the 'new migration' challenges the underlying assumptions of traditional migration studies and post-modern theories. It provides a powerful critique for the study of new migrant groups in Western Europe and the wider process of European identity formation.

Finland’s preliminary population figure 5,525,487 at the end of September
Statistics Finland, October 24, 2019
[link removed]
Excerpt: According to Statistics Finland's preliminary data, Finland's population at the end of September was 5,525,487. During January-September Finland's population increased by 7,568 persons. The reason for the population increase was migration gain from abroad: the number of immigrants was 13,388 higher than that of emigrants. The number of births was 5,387 lower than that of deaths.
. . .
Altogether 24,618 persons immigrated to Finland from abroad and 11,230 persons emigrated from Finland during January-September period. The number of immigrants was 929 higher and the number of emigrants 4,442 lower than in the previous year. In all, 7,038 of the immigrants and 7,660 of the emigrants were Finnish citizens.

Birth rate keeps decreasing in 2018
Statistics Belgium, October 23, 2019
[link removed]
Summary: 117,800 babies were born in Belgium in 2018, i.e. a decrease of 1.1 % compared to 2017. This is what emerged from the provisional statistics on births in the year 2018. This statistic is based on the National Register of natural persons, pending detailed information from the statistical bulletins of births.
The mean age of women at childbirth in Belgium is 30.7 years. It is significantly higher in Brussels (31.8 years) than in Flanders and Wallonia (30.6 years and 30.5 years, respectively). The proportion of births to foreign mothers still remains the majority in Brussels, where it stands at 51.6%. It is only 21.8% in the Flemish Region and 18.5% in Wallonia. Finally, the total fertility rate still decreases to 1.61 child per woman. It is also higher in Brussels (1.75) than in the other regions

Population growth already at the same level as 2018
Statistics Netherlands, October 31, 2019
[link removed]
Excerpt: The population of the Netherlands is growing relatively rapidly this year. In the period up to and including September, 208 thousand immigrants settled here while 121 thousand emigrants left. Net migration therefore stood at 87 thousand, i.e. nearly 20 thousand up on the same period last year. Furthermore, 15 thousand inhabitants were added because the number of births exceeded the number of deaths. The number of births remained at a similar level as in the first three quarters of 2018, but mortality was down by over 3 thousand.

Putting Family First: Migration and Integration in Canada
By Harald Bauder
UBC Press, 288 pp.

Book Description: When migrants reach their new home, we often interpret their settlement and integration as an individual process driven largely by the labour market. But family plays a crucial role. Putting Family First investigates the experience of immigrant families settling in the Greater Toronto area, from newcomers' initial reception to their deep involvement in and attachment to their receiving society. Contributors explore such themes as the policy environment, children and youth, gender, labour markets and work, and community supports in order to illustrate how the family context can be mobilized to facilitate the successful integration of newcomers.

At Europe's Edge: Migration and Crisis in the Mediterranean
By Ċetta Mainwaring
Oxford University Press, 240 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0198842511, $80.00
[link removed]
Kindle, 1198 KB, ASIN: B07X5BRL8W, $76.00
Book Description: The Mediterranean Sea is now the deadliest region in the world for migrants. Although the death toll has been rising for many years, the EU response remains fragmented and short sighted. Politicians frame these migration flows as an unprecedented crisis and emphasize migration control at the EU's external boundaries. In this context, At Europe's Edge investigates why the EU prioritizes the fortification of its external borders; why migrants nevertheless continue to cross the Mediterranean and to die at sea; and how EU member states on the southern periphery respond to their new role as migration gatekeepers. The book addresses these questions by examining the relationship between the EU and Malta, a small state with an outsized role in migration politics as EU policies place it at the crosshairs of migration flows and controls. The chapters combine ethnographic methods with macro-level analyses to weave together policymaker, practitioner, and migrant experiences, and
demonstrate how the Mediterranean is an important space for the contested construction of 'Europe'. This book provides rich insight into the unexpected level of influence Malta exerts on EU migration governance, as well as the critical role migrants and their clandestine journeys play in animating EU and Maltese migration policies, driving international relations, and producing Malta's political power. By centring on the margins, the book pushes the boundaries of our knowledge of the global politics of migration, asylum, and border security.

Undocumented Migration
By Roberto G. Gonzales, Nando Sigona, Martha C. Franco, and Anna Papoutsi
Polity, 192 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1509506942, $62.24
[link removed]
Paperback, ISBN: 1509531807, $22.95
[link removed]
Kindle, 456 KB, ASIN: B07Z2C7JJH, $21.80
Book Description: Undocumented migration is a global and yet elusive phenomenon. Despite contemporary efforts to patrol national borders and mass deportation programs, it remains firmly placed at the top of the political agenda in many countries where it receives hostile media coverage and generates fierce debate. However, as this much-needed book makes clear, unauthorized movement should not be confused or crudely assimilated with the social reality of growing numbers of large, settled populations lacking full citizenship and experiencing precarious lives.
From the journeys migrants take to the lives they seek on arrival and beyond, Undocumented Migration provides a comparative view of how this phenomenon plays out, looking in particular at the United States and Europe. Drawing on their extensive expertise, the authors breathe life into the various issues and debates surrounding migration, including the experiences and voices of migrants themselves, to offer a critical analysis of a hidden and too often misrepresented population.

India's Low-Skilled Migration to the Middle East: Policies, Politics and Challenges
By S. Irudaya Rajan and Prem Saxena
Palgrave Macmillan, 370 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 9811392234, $149.99
[link removed]
Kindle, 6364 KB, ASIN: B07Z1PQY22, $139.00
Book Description: This book provides new insights and research studies on how developing countries come to terms with the nationalisation policies of Gulf economies that provide employment for their nationals. Focusing on regions and countries that have traditionally been overlooked, it includes studies on labour migration from Egypt to the Middle East and from the Philippines to Lebanon, migrant experiences and policy prospects in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, and Indian migration to the Gulf.
The book fills a critical gap in migration research by studying migration from various Indian states, such as Tamil Nadu, Telugu-speaking states (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh), Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. It also explores the unexpected phenomenon of demographic windows of economic opportunity (not documented in demographic literature) observed in a few Arab countries due to older migrant expatriates returning to their home country; the impact of international out-migration on intergenerational educational mobility among children in migrant-sending households in Kerala; and forced migration of Kerala Muslims to the Gulf.

African Footballers in Europe: Migration, Community, and Give Back Behaviours
By Ernest Yeboah Acheampong, Malek Bouhaouala, and Michel Raspaud
Routledge, 180 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0367262975, $130.37
[link removed]
Kindle, 7970 KB, ASIN: B07YGVY9KQ, 178 pp., $49.95
Book Description: African Footballers in Europe traces the social and economic evolution of African football and examines the strategies and resources that players mobilise in their migrations, with a particular focus on ‘Give Back Behaviours’ (how players contribute to their countries or communities of origin). It shines new light on contemporary migrations, labour markets in sport, and processes of development in Africa.
Using a multidisciplinary approach and Weberian methodology to analyse players’ 'Give Back' behaviour, the book highlights the complex rationale behind this behaviour, based on a combination of social, cultural, and economic elements. It features interviews with former and current African professional players, providing a vivid picture of the role of communities in players’ migration projects, the allure of the European football market, and investment initiatives that can contribute to local and regional development.
This is a vital read for academics, researchers, and students of sport sciences, sociology of sport, sport management, sociology, geography, political sciences, management, sociology of Africa, migration studies, sociology of the labour market, and economic sociology. It is also an important resource for professional organisations, NGOs, football agents, football administrators, federations, confederations, and governments.

East to West Migration: Russian Migrants in Western Europe
By Helen Kopnina
Routledge, 252 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0754641708, $133.35
[link removed]
Kindle, 3323 KB, ASIN: B07YN541P3, 178 pp., $57.95
Book Description: The collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe brought widespread fear of a 'tidal wave' of immigrants from the East into Western Europe. Quite apart from the social and political importance, East-West migration also poses a challenge to established theories of migration, as in most cases the migrant flow cannot be categorised as either refugee movement or a labour migration. Indeed much of the trans-border movement is not officially recognised, as many migrants are temporary, commuting, 'tourists' or illegal, and remain invisible to the authorities. This book focuses on Russian migration into Western Europe following the break-up of the Soviet Union. Helen Kopnina explores the concept of 'community' through an examination of the lives of Russian migrants in two major European cities, London and Amsterdam. In both cases Kopnina finds an 'invisible community', inadequately defined in existing literature. Arguing that Russian migrants are highly diverse, both
socially and in terms of their views and adaptation strategies, Kopnina uncovers a community divided by mutual antagonisms, prompting many to reject the idea of belonging to a community at all. Based on extensive interviews, this fascinating and unique ethnographic account of the 'new migration' challenges the underlying assumptions of traditional migration studies and post-modern theories. It provides a powerful critique for the study of new migrant groups in Western Europe and the wider process of European identity formation.
