Immigrant Selectivity and Educational Outcomes of Immigrant Children: A Temporal Perspective
Despite much research on immigrant selectivity, little attention has been given to its temporal dimension. Thus, while immigrant selectivity has been theoretically identified and empirically demonstrated, it has been viewed as a relatively stable social occurrence. The study reported in this paper examined temporal changes in immigrant selectivity using an extensive dataset on migration from the former Soviet Union (FSU) to Israel between 1989 an…
Political legacies and present perceptions of migrants
This paper examines the long-term impact of past political processes and events on current perceptions of immigration. As a case study, we focus on contemporary public perceptions of migrants by citizens of the Baltic states and ask how historical migration patterns and policies within the former Soviet Union are reflected in these perceptions. Our analysis is based on original survey data collected from nationally representative samples in Eston…
Who’s a migrant in postsocialist Europe: Popular imagination and geopolitical changes
Ethnic residential segregation and residents’ perceptions of safety: The case of Arabs and Jews in Israel
The paper focuses on the differential impact of ethnicity and the ethnic composition of community on residents’ perceptions of safety among Jews (majority population) and Arabs (ethnic minority) in Israel. Data for the analysis were obtained from a national representative sample of 908 Jews and Arabs residing in 71 urban localities. The localities were divided into two major types: ethnically homogeneous and ethnically heterogeneous (mixed) commu…
Who are the immigrants that Israeli Jews prefer? The interplay between reasons for migration, religion, and religiosity
This study focuses on the impact of three attributes of migrants – their reasons for migration, religion, and level of religiosity – on public support for allowing migrants to come and live in Israel. We rely on a factorial survey that was conducted in a representative sample of the Israeli Jewish population analyzing the assessments of 600 respondents of various vignettes ( N = 3,595) of hypothetical migrants about admitting them to the country.…
Endorsement of wage discrimination against immigrants: Results from a multifactorial survey experiment in Israeli society
Is Anti-Immigrant Sentiment Owned by the Political Right
In political and social scientific discourses, the link between right-wing political orientation and anti-immigrant sentiment is often presented as a universal social fact. Based on a systematic examination of the association between left-right political orientation and attitudes towards migrants, the article demonstrates a clear inconsistency in the strength and direction of this presumed association in postsocialist European countries. We provi…
Child’s age at migration, high school course-taking and higher education
The impact of immigrants' characteristics on anti-immigrant sentiment among the Jewish majority and the Arab minority in Israel
In the present research ‘factorial survey experiment’ method is applied to examine and compare the differential impact of immigrants’ characteristics on anti-immigrant sentiment among the majority and minority populations in Israel. Potential immigrants were described by six characteristics (gender, continent of birth, education, religion, level of religiosity and reason for migration) in a fractionalised sample of 252 vignettes (organised in 42 …
Racist views in contemporary European societies
This attitudinal study examines racism – conceptualized as a general belief in a hierarchical order of racial/ethnic groups – from a comparative cross-national perspective. The study develops theoretical arguments regarding individual and country-level explanations of racist views and tests them using ESS data. It demonstrates that racist views are not rare in Europe, yet their extent varies substantially across countries. In societies with lower…
On the West-East methodological bias in measuring international migration
This article examines the complex relations between two social processes – standardisation and quantification in measuring migration. We explore how international migrant populations in the European territories of the former USSR, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia have been defined, counted and presented in European population statistics. Our analysis led us to conclude that the category of international migrant, defined as a person born abroad accor…
The Influx of Refugees and Temporal Change in Attitudes towards Asylum Seekers: A Cross-National Perspective
The article studies over-time changes in public attitudes towards asylum seekers, from a cross-national comparative perspective. The article applies the 'hierarchical age-period-cohort' model to data from the European Social Survey collected in 17 European countries. The findings demonstrate that cross-cohort variations play a negligible role in the over-time changes in attitudes towards asylum seekers in Europe; and that most of these over-time …
Public Opinion toward Asylum Seekers in Post-Communist Europe: A Comparative Perspective
The study examines public attitudes toward asylum seekers in seven post-communist countries—Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Slovenia—from a cross-national comparative perspective. Based on the 2016 European Social Survey, the findings reveal that the level of exclusionary attitudes toward asylum seekers in post-communist Europe is higher than that in Western Europe, although it varies meaningfully across post-communist c…

Direct and indirect predictors of opposition to immigration in Europe: Individual Values, Cultural Values, and Symbolic Threat
The current study examines the following questions: (1) the extent to which individual basic human values are linked with attitudes towards immigration; (2) whether symbolic threat by immigration mediates this relation; and (3) whether cultural values moderate the relations between individual values, threat, and attitudes towards immigration. The empirical analysis relies on the 2014/2015 data from the immigration module of the European Social Su…
When Borders Migrate: Reconstructing the Category of 'International Migrant
Using the Baltic states as an empirical example of a wider social problem of categorization and naming, this article explores the statistical categories of 'international migrant/foreign-born' population used in three major cross-national data sources (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Eurostat and The World Bank Indicators (WBI)). We argue that these seemingly politically neutral categories ignore historical processe…
Who Pays the Price for Parental Education–Occupation Mismatch? Evidence From an Israeli City
In recent years, education–occupation mismatch has become an important area of social research. However, little is known about its impact on the intergenerational transmission of educational attainment. This study investigates the possible negative consequences of a specific aspect of parental education–occupation mismatch, also known as overeducation, for high school students. Drawing from a sample of high school students in an Israeli city with…
Unwelcome Immigrants: Sources of Opposition to Different Immigrant Groups Among Europeans
The present paper advances the proposition that level of opposition to immigration (i.e., endorsement of closure or exclusion) and its sources are not uniform and vary across immigrant groups. To test this proposition we utilize data from the 2014 European Social Survey for 20 countries and apply the analysis to the following groups: immigrants of same race/ethnic group as a majority population, immigrants of different race/ethnic group, Muslim, …
Opposition to immigration in contemporary Russia
The study examines sources of opposition to immigration in contemporary Russia. It distinguishes between two types of opposition to immigration: exclusionary attitudes based on national membership and exclusionary attitudes based on race or ethnicity, directed exclusively at foreigners with non-Slavic or non-European origins. Findings indicate that a quarter of ethnic Russians can be classified as “racial exclusionists”; they are willing to admit…
Competitive threat and temporal change in anti-immigrant sentiment: Insights from a hierarchical age-period-cohort model
Two Peoples - Two Stories: Anti-Immigrant Attitudes in Post-Socialist Russia
This article investigates mechanisms underlying anti-immigrant sentiment in post-socialist Russia in particular, and in societies undergoing a search for new national identity borders in general. We argue that when the borders of national identity are drawn and redefined, the forces that drive anti-immigrant attitudes differ meaningfully for members of the ethnic majority group and for members of the minority population. Our empirical analysis ut…
Identity of immigrants – between majority perceptions and self-definition
Immigration is often accompanied by identity transformation. This article studies the identity of immigrants in the framework of Cooley’s ‘looking-glass’ theory by examining the conceptions of various immigrant groups in Israel of how the veteran majority population perceives them. In addition, it examines the interrelation between immigrant identity as reflected in their self-definition and immigrant beliefs about how the Israeli veteran majorit…
Not only Competitive Threat but also Racial Prejudice: Sources of Anti-Immigrant Attitudes in European Societies
The article examines the role of prejudice toward racial and ethnic minorities in shaping attitudes toward immigrants across 19 European countries. Previous studies established that fear of competition (i.e., competitive threat) is likely to increase negative attitudes toward immigrants. Using data from the 2010 European Social Survey, we find that not only competitive threat but also racial prejudice toward non-European/non-White minority popula…
The nature of anti-immigrant sentiment in post-socialist Russia
The main aim of this study was to investigate whether the competition and cultural theoretical models that have received solid empirical support in the context of Western European societies can explain anti-foreigner sentiment in post-socialist Russia as a society searching for new national identity borders. Data obtained from the third round of the European Social Survey (2006) indicate a high level of anti-foreigner sentiment in contemporary Ru…
The Rise of Anti-foreigner Sentiment in European Societies, 1988-2000
The study examines change over time in sentiments toward out-group populations in European societies. For this purpose data were compiled from four waves of the Eurobarometer surveys for 12 countries that provided detailed and comparable information on attitudes toward foreigners between 1988 and 2000. A series of multilevel hierarchical linear models were estimated to examine change in the effects of individual- and country-level sources of thre…
Foreigners' Impact on European Societies: Public Views and Perceptions in a Cross-National Comparative Perspective
The research examines the extent to which attitudes toward foreigners vary across European countries. Using data from the European Social Survey for 21 countries the analysis reveals that foreigners' impact on society is viewed in most countries in negative rather in positive terms. The negative views are most pronounced with regard to foreigners' impact on crime and least pronounced with regard to foreigners' impact on culture. Multi-level regre…
Terms of exclusion: Public views towards admission and allocation of rights to immigrants in European countries
The paper contends that exclusionary views towards out-group populations are formed along two dimensions: exclusion from the country and exclusion from equal rights. Data obtained from the European Social Survey (for twenty-one countries) reveal that objection to the admission of foreigners to the country is more pronounced than objection to the allocation of ‘equal rights’. The data further suggest that objection to admission can be directed eit…

Who are the Europeans that Europeans prefer? Economic conditions and exclusionary views toward European immigrants
This article suggests that the economic standing of foreigners’ country of origin may become grounds for the emergence of an inclination to exclude an out-group population from the country. Moreover, exclusionary attitudes based on the economic standing of the immigrant’s country of origin may vary according to the economic conditions of the destination country. Data obtained from European Social Survey for 21 countries show that exclusionary vie…

Neighborhood Ethnic Composition and Resident Perceptions of Safety in European Countries
Employing data from the 2002 European Social Survey for 21 national representative samples, we provide the first cross-national analysis of the relations between ethnic composition of neighborhood and perception of neighborhood safety in the European context. The data reveal considerable variation both across countries and across individuals in perceived safety. Bi-level regression analysis shows that perceived safety tends to be lower in countri…

Mechanisms of exclusion: Attitudes Toward Allocation of Social Rights to Out-Group Population
This study examines the ways in which perceived socioeconomic threat, perceived threat to national identity, and prejudice (as reflected in negative stereotypes and desire for social distance) prompt objection to allocation of rights to out-groups. The paper presents a simultaneous test of three theoretical explanations and delineates the complex interrelationships among all concepts, using data from a representative sample of Israelis in structu…
Labor Migration, Remittances and Household Income: A Comparison between Filipino and Filipina Overseas Workers
The major purpose of the research is to examine gender differences in patterns of labor market activity, economic behavior and economic outcomes among labor migrants. While focusing on Filipina and Filipino overseas workers, the article addresses the following questions: whether and to what extent earnings and remittances of overseas workers differ by gender; and whether and to what extent the gender of overseas workers differentially affects hou…

Two Dimensions to Economic Incorporation: Soviet Immigrants in the Israeli Labour Market
This paper examines the economic integration of immigrants from the Former Soviet Union into the Israeli labour market in terms of occupational and earnings mobility (i.e. decreasing occupational and earnings disparities) in comparison with several Israeli Jewish sub-populations. Using data from annual Income Surveys conducted by the Israel Bureau of Statistics between the years 1995 and 2006, we find little occupational and earnings mobility of …

Does the Type of Rights Matter? Comparison of Attitudes Toward the Allocation of Political Versus Social Rights to Labour Migrants in Israel
The article contends that the attitudes of the majority population towards the allocation of political rights to out-group populations are distinct from attitudes towards the allocation of social rights. Data obtained from an attitudinal survey administered to a representative sample of Israeli adults show that the level of objection to the allocation of rights to labour migrants in the political sphere is twice as high as that found in the socia…

The study examined the association between immigrants' adaptation-as reflected by host-country language proficiency (based on self-ratings)-and their children's psychological well-being in two countries: Germany and Israel. The findings stressed the importance of children's gender in the study of parent-child dyads. Our separate analyses of boys' and girls' subsamples revealed results that were undetected when we analyzed the subsamples of both g…
