Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Growing social and economic inequalities, and consequently, unfulfilled life aspirations trigger the migration intentions of millions, if not billions of people around the world. Surveys by Gallup World Poll suggest that more than 750 million adults would like to migrate if they had the chance to do so (Esipova et al., 2018). Hence, globally ‘only’ one in eight adults express a desire to migrate.

At the same time, only small fractions of those who aspire to migrate are actually able to realise it.</jats:p>
