New publication ✍️ @parthpandya.bsky.social and colleagues use 40 years of data to show that later migrant generations are more likely to move and become homeowners than first-gen immigrants in England & Wales. Some groups, however, remain disadvantaged. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...
