Dataset Description

\n\nThis dataset includes interview transcripts and quantitative data of residents of Mostaganem and Sétif (Algeria) and international migrants residing in these cities:\n\n

\n● Residents: This dataset captures the aspirations to stay or migrate of residents, perceptions of culture of migration, social norms and family rules around migration. This data collection on migration aspirations is embedded in questions that elicit perceptions of social transformation, social services, values and local migration history as well as aspects of the participants' personal life and traits. The questionnaire includes structured pre-defined open- and close-ended questions. This dataset contains two sets of data: quantitative data collected via the Kobo Toolkit application and exported to an xls file; and open-ended questions are provided in Word documents. The interviews were conducted in the cities of Mostaganem and Sétif and they were conducted in Algerian Arabic, while the data entry was done in English. The transcripts were initially written in Spanish and then translated in English. \n\n

\n● International migrants: This dataset captures the aspirations to stay, migrate or return of international migrants residing in Mostaganem and Sétif. To qualify, international migrants had to live in these cities for at least three months and no longer than five years. However, it proved difficult to apply this time limit and the dataset include migrants who have been in Mostaganem and Sétif longer than five years. The questionnaire had structured pre-defined open- and close-ended questions. The data were collected via the Kobo Toolkit application. The close-ended answers were exported to xls files, while answers to open-ended questions in transcripts in Word files. The interviews were conducted in English, French or Standard Arabic. \n\n

Background

\nThis dataset is one of the key components of the PACES project, which aimed to understand how people decide to migrate, stay (or return for migrants). In particular, PACES sought to understand how people perceive major changes in society, how they understand their past-present and future, and how these factors influence their aspirations to stay or migrate. \n\n

Purpose

\nThe data captures people's perceptions of their current place of residence, what they expect in the future, both in society and in their personal lives, how they see migration and their own mobility preferences. This dataset gathers evidence on how in these two cities in Algeria people understand migration, what they value about it as well as what they value about staying. \n\n

Data Collection and Methods

\nThe data in this dataset was collected through semi-structured interviews. \n\n

Research Limitations

\nThe limited number of interviews (100) make this dataset not representative. However, the interviews are in-depth and give participants the opportunity to highlight what is important for them in their lives and what matters in their decisions to stay or migrate. \n\n

Data Structure and Relationships Between Files

\nEach row in the Excel files has one corresponding transcript. To be clear, the Excel file for Residents has a corresponding Resident transcript, and the same goes for Migrant files. \n\n

Value of the data for potential reuse

\nThis dataset has high value as it records people's perspectives on life in these cities at this point in time. In addition to migration scholars, scholars of Algeria may be interested in these records. \n\n

Results

\nAt the moment, these data have been used for in two working papers, none of them published yet. Preliminary findings from the analysis of these interviews have been presented in a conference.\n\n

Conclusion

\nThis dataset has important value but its in-depth nature makes it difficult to anonymise the data without losing meaning. For this reason, this dataset is closed access.\n\n
