Des données appariées pour mieux comprendre les liens entre migrants et familles d’origine (Middas)

This paper provides a first assessment of the Middas project. Dedicated to the links between migrants originating from Senegal and their origin households, its originality lies in the matched data that it produced. They have allowed original analyses on various questions relating to the decision-making and to the circulation of information and financial resources within transnational and ?multi-sited? households. After a detailed presentation of the survey design, the paper provides an overview of the main results of the research. It then discusses some of the limitations of the collected data and points out directions for future research.
