Abstract
Migration is often the result of a belief that one can improve their or their family's lives by moving to a new area, often due to perceived economic benefits or an improved standard of living. The life course perspective posits that migration and, in turn, migration intentions are long-term trajectories over life rather than several discrete events. As migration is viewed as a process rather than a singular event, it must start with a desire. However, this desire must somehow translate into an intent. Understanding the formation of migration intention is crucial. However, understanding the influence of previous life course events, such as migration, specifically in childhood, may provide a new understanding of intention formation. This research investigates the relationship between childhood migration and migration intentions upon graduation of university students. Childhood migration histories, post-graduation migration, personal beliefs and attutides have been surveyed from a sample of university students to understand this relationship. Ordinal logistic regression modelling has been used to test the relationship and uncover the explanatory power of the surveyed variables. The modelling results have shown that childhood migration does not significantly impact migration intentions, but behavioural beliefs do.
