A theory of migration: the aspirations-capabilities framework
ORIGINAL ARTICLEOpen AccessA theory of migration : the aspirations-capabilities frameworkHein de of Amsterdam,Amsterdam, NetherlandsAbstractThis paper elaborates an aspirations capabilities framework to advance ourunderstanding of human mobility as an intrinsic part of broader processes of socialchange. In order to achieve a more meaningful understanding of agency andstructure in migration processes, this framework conceptualises migration as afunction of aspirations and capabilities to migrate within given sets of perceivedgeographical opportunity structures. It distinguishes between the instrumental(means-to-an-end) and intrinsic (directly wellbeing-affecting) dimensions of humanmobility. This yields a vision in which moving and staying are seen ascomplementary manifestations of migratory agency and in which human mobility isdefined as people s capability to choose where to live, including the option to stay,rather than as the act of moving or migrating itself.
