摘要:
Literature on "migrants in the middle" is an emerging topic in the field of the international migration studies. These migrants generally have medium to high levels of formal education and occupy intermediary job positions in labour market because of their age and/or relatively scarce labour experience. The paper which is based on 21 semi-structured interviews with foreign PhD students in Barcelona universities focuses on their motivations for emigration, and their labour and life trajectories in the light of future expectations. The paper explores the complex process of leaving home in relation with their everyday spatial practices and experiences.
