Professor Marta Bivand Erdal Awarded ERC Starting Grant
We are delighted to announce that a QuantMig team member, Professor Marta Bivand Erdal, a Research Professor at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant by the European Research Council. Marta's project, entitled “Migration rhythms in trajectories of upward social mobility in Asia”, will focus on examining the roles of migration for social mobility – specifically for today’s middle class – in four different Asian cities: Karachi, Mumbai, Hanoi and Manila. The project will investigate how migration has affected upward social mobility over time and what narratives people construct around migration.
This work has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 870299 QuantMig: Quantifying Migration Scenarios for Better Policy.
