Anexpatriate(often shortened toexpat) is a person whoresidesoutside their country ofcitizenship.[1]

The term often refers to a professional, skilled worker, or student from an affluent country.[2]However, it may also refer toretirees,artistsand other individuals who have chosen to live outside their native country.[citation needed]

TheInternational Organization for Migrationof theUnited Nationsdefines the term as 'a person who voluntarily renounces his or hernationality'.[3]Historically, it also referred toexiles.[4]

Etymology[edit]

The wordexpatriatecomes from theLatintermex'out of'and theGreektermpatria'native country, fatherland'.

Semantics[edit]

Dictionary definitions for the current meaning of the word include:

Expatriate:
  • 'A person who lives outside their native country' (Oxford),[4]or
  • 'living in a foreign land' (Webster's).[5]

These definitions contrast with those of other words with a similar meaning, such as:

Migrant:
  • 'A person who moves from one place to another in order to find work or better living conditions' (Oxford),[6]or
  • 'one that migrates: such as a person who moves regularly in order to find work especially in harvesting crops' (Webster's);[7]
or
Immigrant
  • 'A person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country' (Oxford),[8]or
  • 'one that immigrates: such as a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence (Webster's).[9]

The varying use of these terms for different groups of foreigners can be seen as implying nuances about wealth, intended length of stay, perceived motives for moving, nationality, and even race. This has caused controversy, with some commentators asserting that the traditional use of the word "expat" has hadracistconnotations.[10][11][12]

An older usage of the wordexpatriatereferred to anexile.[4]Alternatively, when used as a verbal noun,expatriationcan mean the act of someonerenouncing allegianceto their native country, as in the preamble to the United StatesExpatriation Act of 1868which states: 'the right of expatriation is a natural and inherent right of all people, indispensable to the enjoyment of the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'.[13]

Someneologismshave been coined, including:

  • dispatriate,an expatriate who intentionally distances themselves from their nation of origin;[14]
  • flexpatriate,an employee who often travels internationally forbusiness(see"Business expatriates" below);[15]
  • inpatriate,an employee sent from a foreign subsidiary to work in the country where a company has its headquarters;[16]
  • rex-pat,a repeat expatriate, often someone who has chosen to return to a foreign country after completing a work assignment;[17]
  • sexpat,an expatriate with a goal for a short term or long term sexual relationships (expatriate +sex tourist).[18][19][20]

The term "expatriate" is sometimes misspelled as "ex-patriot", which authorAnu Garghas characterised as an example of aneggcorn.[21]

In Canada someone who resides in a different province on a temporary basis while continuing to hold their home province's residency is colloquially called an "interprovincial expat" as opposed to an "interprovincial migrant" who changes their residency and usually is intending to move permanently. For example British Columbia and Alberta allow each others residents to attend post secondary in the other province while retaining their home province's residency.[original research?]

History[edit]

Types of expat community[edit]

In the 19th century, travel became easier by way ofsteamshiportrain.People could more readily choose to live for several years in a foreign country, or be sent there by employers. The table below aims to show significant examples of expatriate communities which have developed since that time:

During the 1930s,Nazi Germanyrevoked the citizenship of many opponents, such asAlbert Einstein,Oskar Maria Graf,Willy BrandtandThomas Mann,often expatriating entire families.[23][24]

Students who study in another country are not referred to as expatriates.[25][26]

Worldwide distribution of expats[edit]

Further information:List of sovereign states and dependent territories by immigrant population

The number of expatriates in the world is difficult to determine, since there is no governmental census.[27]Market research company Finaccord estimated the number to be 66.2 million in 2017.[28]

In 2013, the United Nations estimated that 232 million people, or 3.2% of the world population, lived outside their home country.[citation needed]

As of 2019, according to theUnited Nations,the number of international migrants globally reached an estimated 272 million, or 3.5% of the world population.[29]

Business expatriates[edit]

Long among the complexities of living in foreign countries has been the management of finances, including the payment of taxes; here, a 32-page IRS publication from 1965 for Americans living abroad.

Somemultinational corporationssend employees to foreign countries to work in branch offices or subsidiaries. Expatriate employees allow a parent company to more closely control its foreign subsidiaries. They can also improve global coordination.[30]

A 2007 study found the key drivers for expatriates to pursue internationalcareerswere: breadth of responsibilities, nature of the international environment (riskand challenge), high levels ofautonomyof international posts, andculturaldifferences (rethinking old ways).[31]

However, expatriate professionals and independent expatriate hires are often more expensive than local employees. Expatriate salaries are usually augmented with allowances to compensate for a highercost of livingor hardships associated with a foreign posting. Other expenses may need to be paid, such as health care, housing, or fees at aninternational school.There is also the cost of moving a family and their belongings. Another problem can be government restrictions in the foreign country.[32][33]

Spouses may have trouble adjusting due toculture shock,loss of their usual social network, interruptions to their own career, and helping children cope with a new school. These are chief reasons given for foreign assignments ending early.[34]However, a spouse can also act as a source of support for an expatriate professional.[35]Families with children help to bridge the language and culture aspect of the host and home country, while the spouse plays a critical role in balancing the families integration into the culture. Some corporations have begun to include spouses earlier when making decisions about a foreign posting, and offercoachingor adjustment training before a family departs.[36]Research suggests that tailoring pre-departure cross-cultural training and its specific relevance positively influence the fulfilment of expectations in expatriates' adjustment.[37]According to the 2012 Global Relocation Trends Survey Report, 88 per cent of spouses resist a proposed move. The most common reasons for refusing an assignment are family concerns and the spouse's career.[38][39]

Expatriate failureis a term which has been coined for an employee returning prematurely to their home country, or resigning. About 7% of expatriates return early, but this figure does not include those who perform poorly while on assignment or resign entirely from a company.[40]When asked the cost of a premature expatriate's return, a survey of 57 multinational companies reported an average cost of about US$225,000.[41]

Reasons and motivations for expatriation[edit]

People move abroad for many different reasons.[42]An understanding of what makes people move is the first step in the expatriation process. People could be ‘pushed’ away as a reaction to specific socio-economic or political conditions in the home country, or ‘pulled’ towards a destination country because of better work opportunities/conditions. The ‘pull’ can also include personal preferences, such as climate, a better quality of life, or the fact that family/friends are living there.[43][44]

For some people, moving abroad is a conscious, thoroughly planned decision, while for others it could be a ‘spur of the moment’, spontaneous decision. This decision, of course, is influenced by the individual's geographic,socioeconomicand political environment; as well as their personal circumstances. The motivation for moving (or staying) abroad also gets adjusted with the different life changes the person experiences – for example, if they get married, have children, etc. Also, different personalities (orpersonality types) have diverse reactions to the challenges of adjusting to a host-country culture; and these reactions affect their motivations to continue (or not) living abroad.[45][46][47]

In this era of international competition, it is important for companies, as well as for countries, to understand what is that motivates people to move to another country to work. Understanding expatriates' motivations for international mobility allows organisations to tailor work packages to match expatriates' expectations in order to attract and/or retain skilled workers from abroad.

Recent trends[edit]

Trends in recent years among business expatriates have included:

  • Reluctance by employees to accept foreign assignments, due to spouses also having a career.[citation needed]
  • Reluctance by multinational corporations to sponsor overseas assignments, due to increased sensitivity both to costs and to local cultures.[citation needed]It is common for an expat to cost at least three times more than a comparable local employee.[48]
  • Short-term assignments becoming more common.[49][38]These are assignments of several months to a year which rarely require the expatriate family to move. They can include specific projects, technology transfer, or problem-solving tasks.[38]In 2008, nearly two-thirds of international assignments consisted of long-term assignments (greater than one year, typically three years). In 2014, that number fell to just over half.[50]
  • Self-initiated expatriation,where individuals themselves arrange a contract to work overseas, rather than being sent by a parent company to a subsidiary.[51][52][53][54][55]An 'SIE' typically does not require as big a compensation package as does a traditional business expatriate. Also, spouses of SIEs are less reluctant to interrupt their own careers, at a time when dual-career issues are arguably shrinking the pool of willing expatriates.[56]
  • Local companies inemerging marketshiring Western managers directly.[57][58][59][60]
  • Commuter assignments which involve employees living in one country but travelling to another for work. This usually occurs on a weekly or biweekly rotation, with weekends spent at home.[38]
  • Flexpatriates,international business travellers who take a plethora of short trips to locations around the globe for negotiations, meetings, training and conferences. These assignments are usually of several weeks duration each. Their irregular nature can cause stress within a family.[38]
  • Consulting firmMercerreported in 2017 that women made up only 14 per cent of the expatriate workforce globally.[61]

The Munich-based paid expatriate networking platformInterNationsconducts a survey of expat opinions and trends on regular basis.[62]

Academic research[edit]

There has been an increase in scholarly research into the field in recent years. For instance,Emerald Group Publishingin 2013 launchedThe Journal of Global Mobility: The home of expatriate management research.[63]

S.K Canhilal and R.G. Shemueli suggest that successful expatriation is driven by a combination of individual, organizational, and context-related factors.[64]Of these factors, the most significant have been outlined as: cross-cultural competences, spousal support, motivational questions, time of assignment, emotional competences, previous international experience, language fluency, social relational skills, cultural differences, and organizational recruitment and selection process.[65]
