Paperzilla title
Brexit Makes Family Moves Complicated: EU Citizens Leaving the UK
This qualitative study explores the experiences of EU families who left the UK after the 2016 Brexit referendum, focusing on their motivations and decision-making processes. It highlights the diverse exit trajectories and the challenges families face in negotiating divergent interests and aspirations among family members. This sometimes leads to fragmentation of families across borders.

Identified Weaknesses

Limited generalizability
The study is qualitative and based on a small sample of 37 families, limiting the generalizability of findings to the wider population of EU citizens who left the UK after Brexit.
Time-bound data
The interviews were conducted during Brexit negotiations, a period of significant uncertainty. Experiences and decisions might have evolved after the UK officially left the EU and the implications became clearer.
Lack of comparison group
The study focuses on families who left. Comparing their experiences with those who stayed would offer a more nuanced understanding of migration decision-making in the context of Brexit.

Rating Explanation

The study offers valuable insights into the complex intra-familial dynamics of migration decision-making in the context of Brexit. The qualitative approach allows for in-depth exploration of family experiences. However, the limited sample size and time-bound nature of the data necessitate caution in generalizing the findings.
