Chain migration over legally closed borders: Settled immigrants as bridgeheads and gatekeepers

Year: 1994

Type: article

Abstract: This article analyses the role of kinship networks in the migration of Turks to the Netherlands. It focuses on the adaptations of Turkish immigrants and prospective migrants to the Dutch admittance policy which has gradually become more restrictive since the end of the 1960s. The first part of the article examines the literature on chain migration. The second part presents some of the findings of a small-scale study on Turkish migrants in the Netherlands and their relatives in Turkey. (EXCERPT)
