Abstract

This paper focuses on the migration project as an agent of changes in marriage in Africa. Most research on the effect of migration is about actual migration. This paper focuses on the effect of migration project on marriage. The theoretical proposition is that migration impacts individuals’ behaviors in origin countries even though migration has not (yet) occurred. The aim is to determine whether non-migrants in the city of Kinshasa (DR Congo) with a migration project tend to delay marriage or entry into union. The sub-Saharan context is relevant, as intentions to migrate are widespread and out-migration is highly constrained. The data come from the MAFE surveys. They include information on migration projects and migration histories, as well as union histories in origin and destination countries. Using event history models, the results confirm the influence of the migration project on the timing of union among men and women in Kinshasa.

Abstract

This article studies the process of reunification in Europe among “living apart together across borders” (LATAB) couples of African origin (DR Congo, Ghana, and Senegal). Couple reunion is conceived as a multilevel process, wherein state selection (through immigration policies in destination countries) interacts with self-selection (at the couple level), under influence of the social context at origin. Based on event history analyses of the MAFE project, empirical results show that LATAB is a majority and durable living arrangement for sub-Saharan migrants, that the odds if reunifying depend on gender and inter-generational relationships, and that restrictive contexts at destination do not deter couple reunion
