The research program develops an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on migration studies, sociology, psychology and social informatics. It makes use of Big Data analysis. It integrates these perspectives and methodologies into a common focus on unobvious migrant characteristics relating to behavioural insights and informal human capital characteristics. The research program addresses the fundamental issue of international mobility of humans: Who migrates and who stays?
