Although traditional migration research focuses predominantly on large cities as ports of entry for migrants, increasingly more migrants start in smaller cities and rural areas. These mobility patterns give access to specific arrival infrastructures with differentiated and often unequal opportunities. Current research has addressed the multiplicity and political nature of arrival infrastructures, but what happens after arrival remains a black box. By building on micro register data, this study employs a longitudinal approach to trace the trajectories of EU labour migrants in the Netherlands across time and space. Our findings indicate that among those who choose to remain in the Netherlands, internal migration is largely characterized by geographical immobility. When people did move to a different type of residential location, it was often to more urbanized places. As mostly migrants with a higher income made these moves, this strengthened the dualization of more precarious migrants in rural areas and more well-off migrants in larger cities.

到达基础设施的纵向分析：欧盟劳工移民在荷兰的地理路径


尽管传统的移民研究主要集中在大城市作为移民的入境口岸，但越来越多的移民从较小的城市和农村地区开始。这些流动模式为进入特定的到达基础设施提供了差异化且往往不平等的机会。目前的研究已经解决了到达基础设施的多样性和政治性质，但到达后发生的事情仍然是一个黑匣子。通过建立在微登记数据的基础上，本研究采用纵向方法来追踪荷兰的欧盟劳工移民跨越时间和空间的轨迹。我们的研究结果表明，在那些选择留在荷兰的人中，国内移民的主要特点是地理上的流动性。当人们确实搬到不同类型的居住地点时，通常是搬到更加城市化的地方。由于主要是收入较高的农民工进行了这些迁移，这强化了农村地区更不稳定的农民工和大城市更富裕的农民工的二元化。
