(eds) 'New' Migration of Families from Greece to Europe and Canada. Inklusion und Bildung in Migrationsgesellschaften. Springer VS, Wiesbaden (pp.11-32) Abstract In the context of the debt crisis, recession, austerity and their socio-political consequences, Greece is experiencing a new major wave of out-migration. Emigration is driven by necessity for a significant number of people who are finding it hard to make ends meet, while, at the same time, it has emerged as an increasingly appealing option for others in less pressing need, who see their ability to fulfil their life aspirations critically reduced. Contrary to the pre-crisis emigrants - the majority of whom saw their emigration as a career move and planned a swift return to Greece - most of the post-2010 emigrants left and are leaving Greece due to feeling a lack of prospects in their home country, thus planning a longer stay abroad. This is especially the case for those who leave from Greece for considerations relating to the future and wellbeing of their children, as well as for couples who emigrate so that they can lead an independent life. Drawing primarily on survey data and secondarily on material from qualitative research in the Netherlands and London, this chapter looks into family-related migration as part of the new crisis-driven exodus from Greece while tracing differences with older streams of emigration. The findings call into question individualisation as a defining characteristic of intra- EU mobility. M.
