ABSTRACT
Reliable data on openness to migration remain scarce, as traditional sources are often limited, fragmented, or outdated. In this talk, I introduce novel datasets that we collected through the LinkedIn Recruiter and Advertising platforms to help close this gap and to shed light on the migration aspirations of high-skilled professionals in Europe and beyond. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive and comparative study that leverages social media data to construct cross-national indicators of migration demand.
