The role of migrant networks in global migration governance and development
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study reconceptualises migrant networks as small-scale forms of migration governance. Acting as transnational network structures, migrant networks are able to fill some of the gaps in the currently fragmented global migration governance system. This includes addressing common migration governance objectives, such as reducing issues created by criminal networks, decreasing tensions between migrants and host communities, and improving the safety and dignity of migrants. Further, this study aims to discuss relevant migrant-development nexus effects of migrant networks as migration governance structures, in terms of a migrant’s individual developments as well as development in both the home and destination countries. Migrant networks have great interest in positive development for individual migrants because it would strengthen the network; the migrant would be better able to support future migrants in addition to members remaining in the home country. Migrant development may also have positive effects for the destination country, through the provision of higher-skilled work, and for the home country, through associated remittances and relevant support for network members in the home country.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
