Podcast on migration trends during digital age

Regional cooperation, Welfare society

What happens when migration intended to be temporary becomes permanent? And how are digitalisation, remote work and AI changing where and how people live, work andintegrate?

In this episode, Professor Tiit Tammaru, Professor of Urban and Population Geography at the University of Tartu, explores changing migration patterns across Estonia and the Nordic–Baltic region. He explains why integration should begin from day one, how remote work is driving new forms of multi-local living, and why major cities continue to attract global talent despite the promise of a borderless digital world.

The conversation also looks at digital inequality, the future of work and the different integration paths of Ukrainian communities in Estonia. The moderator of the podcast is Tarmo Virki from Äripäev.

The episode is part of a special podcast series marking 35 years of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Estonia.
