Peer-Reviewed Articles in Scientific JournalsTogether or apart? Spousal migration and reunification practices of recent refugees to Germany

Kraus, Elisabeth K.; Sauer, Lenore; Wenzel, Laura (2019)

Zeitschrift für Familienforschung/Journal of Family Research 31(3). Leverkusen: Barbara Budrich: 303–332

DOI: 10.3224/zff.v31i3.04

This study examines migration and reunification processes among recent male and female refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria in Germany. Specifically, we analyse different types of spousal migration practices (joint arrival versus arriving alone) and the probability of reunification with the left-behind partner after one year of geographic separation, and to what extent this is shaped by socio-economic conditions, children, family networks, and the legal situation of married men and women.
