Abstract
This chapter analyses the interplay between class and migration patterns of Brazilians to Norway, Portugal and the United Kingdom in order to refine our understanding of feedback mechanisms. At the policy level, socio-economic distinction among migrants is an ever-present, if often disguised, form of differentiation: migration management regimes are set up to distinguish between the desired high-skilled and ‘resource-rich’ migrants and the unwanted low-skilled and ‘resource-poor’ migrants, facilitating access to territory for the first group while restricting it for the second. Yet, while it is widely acknowledged that socio-economic resources have a direct impact on the opportunities people have to migrate and the outcomes of their migration projects, class has been notably absent from migration studies (Van Hear, 2014).
