The relation between religion and depression in Europe
Previous research has found that religiosity is positively related to mental well-being. This study assesses whether the religious context moderates the relationship between individual levels of religiosity and depression in the religiously diverse European context. We apply multilevel models, examining 68,874 individuals in 29 European countries subdivided into 277 regions from the sixth (2012) and seventh (2014) wave of the European Social Surv…
Conflict and insecurity
This article focuses on insecurity perceptions in conflict-affected areas. The authors apply sociological theories on the determinants of perceived security risks and test hypotheses concerning theories on social and physical vulnerability, social disorder and social integration in the area where the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has operated. The study uses data from a survey conducted in 2013 in the territory of Faradje (Haut-Uele) and applies m…
School Context and Ethnic Minority Adolescent Religiosity
Previous research has shown that ethnic school composition can have an impact on a number of outcomes for pupils. The influence ethnic school composition has on pupils' religiosity, however, has not received much attention. Furthermore, the few previous studies that have examined this relationship have relied on cross-sectional data, thus being unable to separate selection effects from causal effects. In this research note we use longitudinal dat…
The Not-in-My-Property Syndrome
This paper aims at achieving a better understanding of rental housing market discrimination against ethnic minorities. There remain substantial lacunae in the scientific knowledge about the association between the concentration of ethnic minorities in the neighbourhood and discrimination, and possible differences in discrimination based on host society language proficiency. Although these associations have been considered in the U.S., they have b…
Inequalities in social capital and their longitudinal effects on the labour market entry
Homonegativity among first and second generation migrants in Europe
Keeping it in the family
This study examines whether health inequalities exist between lone and cohabiting mothers across Europe, and how these may differ by welfare regime. Data from the European Social Survey were used to compare self‐rated general health, limiting long‐standing illness and depressive feelings by means of a multi‐level logistic regression. The 27 countries included in the analyses are classified into six welfare regimes (Anglo‐Saxon, Bismarckian, South…
Ethnic Diversity in Belgium
The worst of both worlds? Origin and destination effects on migrant religiosity
Insecurity theory states that religiosity is predominantly affected by insecurities experienced during childhood, instead of present insecurities. The empirical research of these aspects, however, has been hampered by the difficulty to disentangle past and present contextual effects. In this respect, first generation migrants offer an interesting case study which allows us to discern (1) contextual effects experienced during childhood, i.e. assoc…
Transnational Marriages on the Decline
This article reports a decline in transnational marriages among Turkish Belgians between 2001 and 2008 and explains the changing trends through a qualitative study of Turkish Belgians’ current partner preferences and union formation practices. Young people prefer a local marriage because it enables upward social mobility, and the possibility of premarital relationships and lower parental involvement seem to further add to the declining popularity…
God Bless Our Children? The Role of Generation, Discrimination and Religious Context for Migrants in Europe
This article deals with individual and contextual effects on the religiosity of first and second generation migrants in Europe. Noticing that little attention has been directed towards intergenerational transmission of religion in processes of integration, we argue for an intergenerational perspective on immigrant religiosity. Social integration theory is used to derive the hypothesis that second generation immigrants are less religious than the …
