Intra‐European migrants move in different configurations, both in terms of trajectories (one‐off, repeat, multiple) and in terms of motivations (including work, family, education and/or lifestyle). In this article I provide a statistical picture of migrant trajectories and motivations based on a survey of EU internal movers coming from and residing in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. While around 49 per cent of migrants migrated internationally only once, 13 per cent moved repeatedly between their country of origin and their current destination, and further 38 per cent had lived in a different destination country in the past. The motives for migration and past trajectories are related to future migration plans. Multiple movers are more willing to move outside the EU in the future if they could significantly improve their working or living conditions and they are more likely to declare to live in another destination country in 5 years' time. Moving for quality of life is a good predictor of not being willing to return to the country of origin or move to another country in 5 years' time.

欧盟公民的动机和迁移轨迹：英国、法国、德国、意大利和西班牙的重复和多次移民


欧洲内部移民的流动方式不同，无论是在轨迹（一次性、重复、多次）还是动机（包括工作、家庭、教育和/或生活方式）方面。在本文中，我根据对来自英国、法国、德国、意大利和西班牙的欧盟内部搬家者的调查，提供了移民轨迹和动机的统计图片。虽然大约 49% 的移民只在国际上迁移过一次，但 13% 的移民在原籍国和当前目的地之间反复迁移，另有 38% 的移民过去曾在不同的目的地国家居住过。迁移的动机和过去的轨迹与未来的迁移计划有关。如果多人搬家者能够显着改善他们的工作或生活条件，他们将来更愿意搬出欧盟，并且他们更有可能在 5 年内宣布居住在另一个目的地国家。为了生活质量而搬家是一个很好的预测因素，表明他们不愿意在 5 年内返回原籍国或搬到另一个国家。
