This thesis has offered several interesting paths for further research. Not only does there lie great potential in following up on the points made above, but there are also some specific terrains of study which this thesis sheds light and opens up the possibility for. Mainly, the prospects of future researched proposed here, fall into three categories. There are possibilities within the studies of migration aspirations as a social phenomenon, expansions of perspectives on migrant networks and their effects, and lastly there is potential for developing studies that examine some of the implications of these findings.
Thinking about migration aspirations as a broad social phenomenon implies that scholars can develop studies which examine the links between aspirations and ability, and which ask questions about the factors that determine one but not the other. One such aspect touched upon by in this thesis, is that of gender. My results show no significant difference
between the aspirations or intentions of migration aspirations for women and men, and yet we know that the actual migration patterns vary substantially by gender. This could be one way of approaching the divide between aspiration and ability, and there are many more.
The second set of possible contributions that spring from this thesis lie in expanding the understanding of networks. The operationalization of networks chosen here was rather simple, yet it revealed an interesting distinction between knowing returned migrants and knowing current migrants. Not only can this distinction be broadened further, and the possible differences also between friends and family members effect on aspirations be incorporated, but one can also imagine studies that incorporate more sociological theory than has been common in the migration literature. Studies seeking to investigate the mechanisms through which migrant networks are converted into useful social capital are not abundant in migration studies and would be highly appreciated. Although taken as a premise in this study, membership in a migrant network does not necessarily equal access to relevant social capital.
Much potential lies in extending the operationalization of networks, and in exploring different measures of networks than has been possible here.
The third and final set of questions this thesis raises is the possibility of developing studies which seek to investigate the implications raised by this study. One point of entry here would be to investigate further the connections – or lack thereof between migration aspirations and actual migration. Not only do we need to come away from using data on aspirations to predict future migration, but we also need to find new and better ways of measuring actual migration flows. Further studies investigating migration aspirations should also play close attention to the factors other than migration which are influenced by the strong prevalence of aspirations to migrate, and look at how such aspirations shape communities and people in sending countries.
This study has shown that there is no clear-cut link between aspirations and ability, but more research is needed on the mechanisms that link the two, which may fuel discussions of why some aspirations lead to migration and others do not. In order to extensively engage in these questions future research would benefit by collecting data on the connections between the aspirations and ability, and by collecting longitudinal data in both sending and receiving communities. This will give yield a possibility of investigating broader connections between the determinants of migration aspirations and ability, respectively, and to analyze more of the differences between them that is possible with existing data sets.
