Des rêves contrariés: Le retour difficile des migrants ivoiriens dans leur pays
Cet article s’interroge d’une part sur les motifs qui ont poussé des personnes de nationalité ivoirienne à quitter leur pays, d’autre part sur les conditions complexes de leur retour en Côte d’Ivoire et les soutiens possibles à leur réinsertion après avoir vécu une migration internationale. De nombreuses raisons rendent le cas de la Côte d’Ivoire, et plus particulièrement de ces migrants, pertinent. La Côte d’Ivoire est à la fois un pays d’immigr…
The effect of parental background on the potential education and employment of migrants' children in Switzerland
This paper explores the relations between parental background, the education level reached and the socioprofessional position of children during their transition to adulthood. The paper links segmented assimilation and institutional theories with a life-course approach. It tests three types of mechanisms of the relationship between parental background and children's lifecourse, which are the critical-period model; the path-dependency; and the cum…
When National Origins Equal Socio-economic Background: The Effect of the Ethno-class Parental Background on the Education of Children Coming of Age in Switzerland
The educational outcomes of the descendants of migrants are important indicators of migrants' incorporation into host societies and an indicator of intergenerational social im/mobility. This paper examines this relationship using data from a survey that follows a cohort of young adults, born between 1988 and 1997, who grew up in Switzerland. It looks at the relationship between the educational output of respondents and their parental migratory ba…
Configurations familiales transnationales suite à une migration forcée: Le cas des anciens exilés chiliens en Suisse
Cet article explore les formes de configurations familiales et de « faire fa-mille » des anciens exilés chiliens obligés de se séparer d'une partie de leurs proches en raison de la persécution politique. Il s'agit d'examiner les effets de l'exil sur le fonctionnement familial et les manières d'y faire face afin de maintenir des liens à distance avec les proches ou de les réactualiser à travers des contacts directs avec eux.

Sciendo provides publishing services and solutions to academic and professional organizations and individual authors. We publish journals, books, conference proceedings and a variety of other publications
How can we categorise ‘nationality’ and ‘second generation’ in surveys without (re)producing stigmatisation
Whilst reflexive migration studies have criticised the use of categories such as ‘nationality’ and ‘second generation’ in quantitative research, several gaps on how to develop such reflexivity remain. In qualitative data, the co-construction of knowledge seems feasible during fieldwork, whereas the deductive process of quantitative research limits such interactions and is more at risk of reproducing a ‘state thought’ . Through a longitudinal data…
Starting a new life in the South? Swiss, Dutch and Flemish ageing in Morocco: A lifecourse perspective
This article focuses on European migrants living in Morocco and now near retirement or retired. Using a lifecourse approach we are interested in whether their timing of migration to Morocco made a difference in terms of their motivations to settle there and subsequently with the social relationships at the destination. To this end, we conducted 36 biographical interviews with Swiss, Dutch and Belgian Flemish migrants aged 50 and older. Findings s…
Ageing Abroad. The Case of Swiss Nationals in Morocco and Spain
Cultural, social, and economic factors have led to an increase in late-life migration of citizens from richer countries to poorer ones. Although research interest in this phenomenon has risen as well, the case of people leaving Switzerland remains little studied. Yet, in 2017, 11 % of Swiss men and women aged 65 and over lived abroad. Drawing on two case studies of older Swiss migrants to Spain and Morocco, this article contributes to a better un…
Feeling Blue by Extension: Intrafamily Transmission and Economic Pressures Explain the Native-Immigrant Gap in Well-Being among Youth in Switzerland
Several factors explain the native-immigrant gap in well-being frequently found among adolescents and young adults. First, discrimination and integration challenges impact the psychological health of immigrants of all ages. Though rarely studied, low parental well-being is transmitted thereby also deteriorating youth well-being. Second, individuals with an immigrant background generally endure economic pressures to a greater extent than natives, …
The construction of personal geographies among Romanian older migrants in Switzerland
This paper discusses the construction of personal geographies of (im)mobility among Romanian older migrants in Switzerland and those who moved back to Romania after having lived in Switzerland. The analysis draws on 32 biographical narrative interviews with Romanian migrants aged 57 and older. This is a heterogeneous population consisting of former political refugees, family migrants, and return migrants. The paper reconstructs the strategies ref…
Older immigrants living in Switzerland and ambivalence related to return around the retirement period
The aim of this article is to explore the links between former guest workers’ attitudes toward return, as they approach retirement age, and ambivalence. More specifically, we seek answers to the following two questions: Do older immigrants modify their intentions toward return around the retirement period? If the answer is positive, we then ask: To which factors are these changes related when looking at intentions to return both before and after …

Forms of care among native Swiss and older migrants from Southern Europe: A Comparison
This paper explores the following question: Which forms of care are used by older migrants compared to older natives in Switzerland? Access to care is an important issue for older people. Health problems and the reduction of the functional abilities can lead older people to become more vulnerable and dependent on social support. Many forms of care are available to support older people. In this paper, we explore help and home-care services, togeth…
Les trajectoires éducatives de la seconde génération. Quel déterminisme des filières du secondaire I et comment certains jeunes le surmontent
Le destin éducatif de la nouvelle seconde génération en Suisse semble tracé. Ces jeunes sont orientés au sein des filières à exigences élémentaires ou étendues du secondaire I et ils obtiennent majoritairement des certificats professionnels. Cependant, à milieu social, type de filière et compétence scolaire égaux, ils sont plus nombreux que les natifs à emprunter les trajectoires de mobilité ascendante, menant à des formations générales de niveau…

Transnational Mobilities as a Way of Life Among Older Migrants from Southern Europe
This paper focuses on older Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese migrants who spent their working lives in Switzerland and explores their different forms of geographical mobility between Switzerland and their home countries.

It focuses more particularly on the forms of support that these migrants provide to their societies of origin or to their immigrant compatriots through the activities they carry out either through their job, through their extra-professional commitments, or by combining these two dimensions of their ex…
"Égalité de chances ? Une comparaison des conditions de vie des personnes âgées immigrées et "nationales
L’amélioration des conditions de vie des nouveaux retraités perceptible en Suisse comme ailleurs en Europe exige, dans le cas des migrants, d’être fortement nuancée.

Professional stances and personal values in the realm of transnational family reunification with older parents: Social work practice in an emerging field
National rules for family reunification take place in an increasingly transnational context. Social workers in Switzerland, whether they work in services for migrants or for elders, are confronted with requests for transnational family reunification with older parents. Such requests, while relatively rare, elicit responses which must be viewed as largely founded on professionals' values and norms regarding the care of elders, family cohabitation,…

La vacance comme pathologie de la condition d'immigré. Le cas de la retraite et de la pré-retraite
Este artigo examina a "vacância" como uma patologia da condição de imigrante, focando na aposentadoria e pré-aposentadoria. Argumenta-se que a aposentadoria, frequentemente vista como um período de descanso e lazer, pode se transformar em uma experiência de vazio e desorientação para os imigrantes. A perda do papel social ligado ao trabalho, combinada com o isolamento social e as dificuldades de integração na sociedade de acolhimento, contribui p…

Collective Assertion Strategies of Immigrants in Switzerland
In this paper we focus on an often neglected dimension of immigration, the collective one. We explore two main forms of collective assertion of immigrants: (1) political mobilisation, which is no longer as dominant as it has been in the past; and (2) cultural mobilisation, which has become increasingly important over the last ten years. After the failure of a number of political initiatives at the national level, these new forms of assertion aim …

Stages and modes of incorporation of exiles in Switzerland: The example of Chilean refugees
Many scholars perceive the incorporation of refugees and immigrants to a new society as a matter of time: the longer the length of residence, the more the refugees and immigrants perceive their stay in the host society as permanent. Other social scientists go even much further: they perceive adaptation not only as a linear process but also as an inevitable and desirable process which should lead to the disappearance of immigrants as an ethnic com…

Au cours de leurs années passées en migration, la décision de demeurer en Allemagne au cours du troisième âge s'est peu à peu imposée à de nombreux étrangers.
