Abstract
This blog is part of the COMPAS Coronavirus and Mobility Forum.
The period since World War II has truly been an ‘age of migration’: global population movements became more extensive, complex, and central to key social transformations than ever before. But things changed after the Global Financial Crisis, and now the world is still in an almost total lockdown on human mobility and migration, as governments fight the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic. What lasting effects will these lockdowns have on migration and mobility? Have we reached the end of the age of migration? Here I suggest ten key questions to guide migration and mobility research in the wake of the 2020 Pandemic.
