Summary: Most research on trends in socio-economic fertility differences has focused on cohort total fertility and on women. This study aimed to analyse how cohort trends in parity-specific fertility differ across educational segments for men and women and what role multi-partner fertility plays in these trends. The study found that cohort total fertility can mask significant parity-specific trends across educational groups and changes in multi-partner fertility can play a part in cohort trends in socio-economic fertility differentials.

Summary: The legal and policy discourse on refugees has mainly focused on labelling vulnerable persons or groups, neglecting reflections on the impact of definitions and assessment practices on stereotypes and biases in identifying beneficiaries of protection. This paper examines how categories of vulnerability defined by international law are implemented in practice, highlighting the vagueness of legal definitions and the complexity of relationships among vulnerability dimensions that have been overlooked in scholarly writings and humanitarian practices. Alternative responses to vulnerability assessment practices are outlined for agencies to consider.

Summary: Racial capitalism requires a racial barrier to separate the subaltern periphery from the liberal state's protection. This has affected the Eastern enlargement of the EU, where the East is seen as incompatible with the West. Such racism influences global politics, economics, and media, and also impacts Eastern Europeans who migrate to the West. The racialization of Eastern Europeans reflects the imperial rivalry between the West and Russia.

Summary: The global COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have exacerbated existing inequalities along lines of race, ethnicity, class, and gender. Refugees have been particularly negatively impacted, with policy responses ignoring their needs and worsening existing structures of violence and insecurity.

Summary: This paper focuses on the use of ICTs at the EU's external borders and argues that migrants' use of ICT has fundamentally transformed undocumented border crossings. By examining the case of theWatchTheMed Alarm Phone, the paper demonstrates how migrants utilize GPS-enabled smartphones to navigate the sea and connect with transnational support networks. It also discusses the concepts of viapolitics and tempo-politics to contribute to the debate on 'data politics'.

Summary: This paper aims to explore the association between place of delivery (public sector, private sector, home) and early neonatal mortality in India. The findings suggest that deliveries in public health facilities have lower odds of early neonatal death compared to home deliveries, while no significant difference was found between private health facilities and home deliveries. Moreover, the study revealed higher risks of early neonatal death in private health facilities, particularly in the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

Summary: Chinese migration to Africa has been limited in scale and scope until recently, but significant numbers of Chinese migrants started arriving in Africa in the late 1990s and 2000s. These migrants, including entrepreneurs, professionals, and temporary workers, have been impacting both the Chinese migrant community and their African host nations, changing the dynamics of human flows within the continent.

Summary: This study investigates the academic performance gap between immigrant children and native students in compulsory education in Italy. It finds that factors such as family structure, parents' socioeconomic resources, cultural and educational resources, as well as students' school-related attitudes all play a role in explaining the disadvantages faced by immigrant offspring. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of school-related attitudes in contributing to the academic performance gaps, particularly in lower secondary school.

Summary: This article explores how migrant agency and policy arrangements shape different forms of regulated temporariness in Australia's temporary migration regime. It analyzes regulated temporariness in relation to various visa programs, including temporary skilled visa, Seasonal Workers Program, working holidaymaker visa, and international student visa schemes. The findings suggest that migrant temporariness is influenced not only by entry and stay policies, but also by employment and settlement insecurity. This highlights the significance of employment regulations and post-arrival support policies in determining whether temporary migrants achieve their migration objectives, thus influencing the practice of temporariness.

Summary: Since industrialization, migration has been a continuous phenomenon that invigorates innovations and technologies. The study found that employment opportunities at the individual level are affected by the presence of foreign workforce, and migrant population pressure may lead to a decrease in work opportunities for local labor force, but it does not significantly impact the national income.

Summary: This study finds a link between structural sexism and discrimination against LGB populations and poor health outcomes, highlighting the importance of considering gender and sexuality as mutually reinforcing systems of oppression. The study also reveals that higher levels of heteropatriarchy are associated with an increased risk of preterm birth and decreased birth weight.

Summary: This paper examines the projected food demand for 2050 and finds that there will be a 50-60% increase in total global food demand. The study highlights a slowdown in rice demand, a growing share of palm oil in fats and oils markets, and a continued shift towards poultry as the dominant meat consumption. Unlike existing models, the analysis integrates fish consumption into the assessment of vegetable and animal protein, and emphasizes the dangers of using common feed ratios for predicting feed grain demand. The paper also demonstrates the importance of considering regional differences when analyzing commodities in order to understand the complexities of the global food system.

Summary: The study found that among Romanian Roma migrants in France, their social support differs from the assumptions of ethnic solidarity, sociodemographic homophily, and network closure. Instead, they align more closely with the model of 'networked individualism', maintaining diverse and far-reaching networks, choosing forms of elective belonging, and mobilizing different social ties for specialized support.

Summary: This study analyzed mortality rates among transgender populations in the United States and compared them to non-trans populations. The findings showed that transgender individuals were nearly twice as likely to die compared to their non-trans counterparts. Within the transgender population, those on the trans feminine to nonbinary spectrum had the highest risk of mortality. These findings highlight the significant disparities in mortality conditions between transgender and non-transgender populations, calling for further research.

Summary: Indigenous Peoples in the United States are facing disproportionate impacts of COVID-19, with higher infection and mortality rates. The lack of reliable data likely underestimates the true impact. The importance of Indigenous data sovereignty in data collection and management has been emphasized, calling for systemic efforts to improve COVID-19 data availability and quality.

It applies this framework to examine the current state of migration control outsourcing in Spain.

Summary: This article examines the complex ways in which Chinese intranational migrant young gay men are motivated to migrate by their families from a temporal perspective. It identifies three temporal aspects of their migrations - life course, generation, and imagining the future. The article demonstrates that the role of family in motivating their migrations can be better understood through a combination of hetero- and homonormativity, individualization, and familism.

Summary: Peru is an important destination for Venezuelan emigrants, with a shift in migration-related governance from relative openness to policy closure under different presidents. The difference can be attributed to an interplay of factors including internal political crises, changes in the number and social profiles of migrants, and the rise of xenophobic attitudes among the Peruvian population. The concept of adaptive leadership is applied to explain this policy shift.

Summary: The study reveals a paradox where international immigrants have lower mortality rates compared to native-born populations but may not necessarily have better health. This paradox is particularly evident among immigrants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Caribbean. Decision makers should take action to help these subgroups maintain their health and delay the onset of limiting illnesses associated with the paradox.
