Lifestyle migration: about the concept
North Europeans moving to the South; French buying second homes in Morocco, US citizens retiring to Mexico, or even students going on a gap year…
Affluent migrants migrate, oscillate, circulate or tour between their home and host countries in search of something encapsulated in the notion of the rural idyll or signified in the distinction between tourism and travel.

Lifestyle migration: about the concept
Some retain a home in more than one place, some work in one place and live in another; others simply move, while others still simply visit.

Lifestyle migration: about the concept
LM is a conceptual framework with which to explain the new migration forms, which have more to do with self-realisation projects, and the search for an intangible ‘good life’ than with strictly productive activities.

Employment had grown between 1995 and 2007 at an average annual rate of 4.1%.
The unemployment rate went from 8.5% in the first quarter of 2007 to 27.2% in the first quarter of 2013,
2.5 million jobs were destroyed during that period. Almost half of them were jobs in the construction sector and the real estate market

The analysis of residential variations by nationalities between 2005 and 2010 shows that, when faced with the economic crisis, the so-called lifestyle migrants are changing their mobility patterns in a way similar to the rest of migrants.

What is happening?
The crisis has not only led to an exodus of citizens with less economic resources, it has also caused the mass departure of those other immigrants whose presence in Spain is associated with consumption.
![Page 16: Residential mobility trends in a time of crisis. Alicante 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081404/559404481a28abae458b47c8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Theoretical implications
There are separate socio-economic profiles within each nationality, so the label ‘lifestyle migrant’ cannot be associated with a particular national origin. It would be more convenient to approach the residential behaviour of each group as part of the same continuum of mobility types. When the category lifestyle migration includes individuals linked to the formal or informal economy, regardless of their being employed on a part-time or full-time basis, or the meaning they attach to their job, the differences in regard to other types of migration disappear.
