Beyond the Illusion of a Better Life Abroad: Migration, Identity and the Cost of Leaving
Overview
This forthcoming book examines the structural and lived realities of migration, challenging dominant narratives that frame migration as a straightforward pathway to improved outcomes. It explores the tensions between expectation and reality, particularly for skilled migrants navigating labour market asymmetries, identity shifts, and institutional constraints in advanced economies.
Positioning
The work extends ongoing research into migration systems by analysing occupational downgrading, policy contradictions, and the human cost of migration beyond economic metrics.
Status
Manuscript under review by PLO Lumumba.
