Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article develops a three‐dimensional life table as a spatio‐demographic tool to estimate the cumulative years spent abroad for an age‐heterogeneous immigrant cohort as well as conditional life‐abroad expectancies. The three‐dimensional life table accounts simultaneously for the two attrition processes terminating immigrants' life‐abroad, namely the spatial process of return migration and the demographic process of mortality, using age‐dependent mortality and duration‐age dependent return migration probabilities for age‐heterogeneous immigrant cohorts. The three‐dimensional life table forms the basis for a series of simulations to derive the cumulative years spent abroad for an age‐heterogeneous immigrant cohort as well as conditional life‐abroad expectancies under a variety of scenarios, ranging from no return migration to strong return migration characteristic of the early phase of an immigration system.
