Migration, mobility, and globalization are transforming ways of working and living. Business activities, relationships and a sense of belonging are often not tied to any one place. This book explores biographies of highly mobile startup founders who often run startups that have been called "born global". It describes how they move, how they orientate and perceive themselves, and how migration and mobility play a role beyond the physical act of 'moving'. Presenting current ethnographic research, the book critically discusses approaches in migration and mobility studies and the research field of the "migration of the highly skilled".

In the post-collectivization period, rural Chinese households were required to sell part of their grain output to the state at a below-market price; however, increases in this quota price beginning in 1993 generated substantial positive income shocks. These income shocks also varied cross-sectionally in accordance with crop composition given that quotas were systematically larger for rice-producing households, generating a quasi-random source of variation in the size of the shock driven by climatic variation in suitability for rice cultivation. Households induced to experience relatively larger income shocks show evidence of decreased agricultural investment, increased investment in non-agricultural businesses, and increased migration as households gain increased income, consistent with the hypothesis that credit constraints may have constrained some households from entering non-agricultural production ex ante. In addition, there is evidence that these households were concentrated among households who had not previously diversified out of agriculture.

Internal labor migration rates in India have been largely static and low in recent times compared with those in other countries. This is a cause for concern because internal migration for economic reasons can promote the agglomeration of economic activity in more productive locations and directly contribute to reducing poverty through remittances. New evidence based on the India Human Development Survey, which provides a more recent source of data compared with the Census and other household surveys, shows that labor mobility is higher than previously estimated-the stock of labor migrants increased from 16 million in 2004-05 to 60 million in 2011-12. The absolute number of circular migrants, at more than 200 million in 2011-12, is also much higher than previously documented estimates. Tracking the same households between 2004-05 and 2011-12, empirical analysis based on the India Human Development Survey highlights several socioeconomic factors associated with the migration decision: household income, the availability of information, as well as community networks in source and destination areas. There is also a possible administrative dimension to interstate migration barriers, owing to domicile provisions for work and study, lack of portability of social benefits, and legal and other entitlements upon relocation.

L'étude des contextes d'habitat et des itinéraires résidentiels permet-elle de mieux comprendre ce qui se joue dans la vie du groupe domestique, dans les relations avec la parentèle et dans les rapports entre les générations ? Dans quelle mesure le logement et l'inscription dans des territoires sont-ils révélateurs de dynamiques familiales ? Réciproquement, quels effets ces dynamiques exercent-elles sur la localisation des ménages, sur la physionomie des quartiers, sur la vie des différents lieux de la ville ? Comment les mobilités choisies, subies ou projetées par les familles interfèrent-elles avec le jeu du marché immobilier et la mise en œuvre des politiques urbaines ? En quoi l'analyse des trajectoires familiales enrichit-elle notre connaissance des rapports que les citadins entretiennent avec leur habitat, des usages qu'ils font de la ville, et des modalités selon lesquelles s'organise leur coexistence avec d'autres citadins ? Les textes rassemblés dans ce volume se situent au croisement de ces différentes questions. Ils émanent de sociologues, de démographes, d'historiens et de géographes qui avaient été invités à confronter leurs travaux à l'occasion d'un colloque international organisé par le Centre Jacques Cartier.

Why did very large numbers of people begin to depart the British Isles for the New Worlds after about 1770? They were the vanguard of mass economic migration, the carriers of new global labour forces, agents of dispossession and settlement, of family dreams, of individual aspirations, of imperial strategies. But it was new in scale, and it was a pioneering movement, a rehearsal for modern international migration. These first mass inter-continental stirrings began most of all in the British Isles. What activated these great exchanges of humanity, the precursors of so much modern population transfer and turmoil around the globe? This is a question in the middle of most genealogies and central to the making of the modern world.
