English term or phrase: mature
Aus einem Bericht über die Situation von Migraten:
Migrants and their descendants in the labour force (title)
The move towards increasingly mature migration and changes in the origin of migrants affect their labour market participation.

Wie ist "mature" hier zu verstehen? Dass die Migration zunimmt oder dass die Migranten tendenziell älter sind? Danke für eure Kommentare!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Nach Rücksprache – da "mature" im Sinne von älter/reifer hier ganz einfach keinen Sinn ergab – stellte sich heraus, dass der Autor "längerfristigere Migration" ausdrücken wollte. Das Ganze scheint eine etwas eigenartige Übersetzung aus dem Französischen zu sein ... Trotzdem danke für die Mühe!
