These recent data come from migrants’ self-declared motives for moving to European OECD countries (with the exceptions of Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands). Trends can be derived from comparisons between the 2014 AHM and an earlier data set from 2008. This share is not only higher than among labour migrants (36% in 2014), refugees (40%) or international students (42%), but would grow further if only family migrants who arrived as adults were considered, since those who came as children probably rebalance the gender distribution of family migrants.
