演講介紹：
The migration literature has examined migrants’ politically motivated factors separately from their family’s mobility strategies in the face of macro-political uncertainties. Bridging the two bodies of literature, this study analyzes how parental status moderates the relationship between individual political considerations and migration intentions when the political situation is increasingly tense. Based on the quantitative data on political protests in Hong Kong, we find that migration intention increases with both mobilization by protestors and repression by the government. While more active protestors are less likely to migrate, parents who have participated in the protests tend to have increased migration intention. Our qualitative data explain that despite parent protestors’ commitment to the pro-democratic protests, their encounters with law enforcement trigger strong migration intention to ensure their children’s political freedom and physical safety. While pro-government citizens have less intention to migrate than pro-democracy citizens, citizens with children are both likely to migrate. Interviews show that pro-government citizens’ migration aspiration for their children’s future is de-politicized. Finally, future-oriented characteristics of migration motivates parents to prioritize their children’s prospects over their obligations to their aging parents. This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship among migration, politics, and family life.
