A geographic and social profile of Italy's great migration (1876–1913)
This article sheds light on Italian emigration flows with a focus on their geographical origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, that is, during the so‐called Great Migration. Annual province‐level data on Italian emigration are analysed in order to reconstruct the regional origins of emigrants, the factors motivating their decisions, their gender, and their literacy levels. The regions generating the largest population outflows were lo…
Weighed, not counted: Territorial (mis)representation in Italian metropolitan council elections
Metropolitan cities were established by Italian Law no. 56/2014 (commonly known as the “Delrio Law”) as a new level of government, replacing and redefining functions previously performed by provinces in selected major urban areas. One of their three key governing bodies is the metropolitan council, a representative assembly the members of which are elected via an indirect, second-level, proportional, list-based system in which the electorate comp…
Camilla Borgna, Studiare da straniero. Immigrazione e diseguaglianze nei sistemi scolastici europei
Il testo recensisce un volume che offre una prospettiva comparata sui successi e i fallimenti dei vari sistemi scolastici europei nell’integrazione degli studenti stranieri e mette in evidenza i fattori che intralciano l’eguaglianza delle opportunità in ambito formativo per gli studenti di origine immigrata. Il volume offre un’ottima sistematizzazione della letteratura teorica e di ricerca empirica internazionale (riferita, opportunamente, anche …
Il disagio infrastrutturale nelle scuole italiane: Contesto europeo e caratterizzazione territoriale
Si esplora la qualità dell'infrastruttura delle scuole italiane percepita dai dirigenti scolastici, secondo dati tratti dall'edizione 2018 del Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Indici di "disagio" (riferiti a infrastrutture, docenti, personale non docente e materiali didattici) mostrano che in Italia le criticità infra-strutturali sono più avvertite rispetto sia ad altri paesi europei sia agli altri ambiti indagati, ma senza …
Home-school distance among native and immigrant-origin lower secondary students in urban Northern Italy
Residential proximity to schools is a relatively unexplored topic, especially as concerns its link to socially disadvantaged and immigrant-origin students. Such students may be more likely to attend the nearest school to their home, since their (families’) knowledge of school system is weak and school selection depends more on convenience than on evaluation of multiple schools’ pros and cons. This paper examines if, and to what extent, home-schoo…
Intergenerational relations among immigrants in Europe: The Role of Ethnic Differences, Migration and Acculturation
An understanding of the characteristics of intergenerational relations within immigrant families in Europe and micro-level social processes shaping those relations is essential from both an academic and a policy perspective. Yet there has been little empirical research devoted to testing the theoretical frameworks underlying intergenerational relations and migration studies and comparing ethnically and culturally different immigrant groups across…
Interstizi scolastici: La prossimità residenza-scuola fra gli alunni di origine immigrata a Bologna
This text explores home-school proximity among youths attending lower secondary schools in Bologna. Via geolocation of school and students’ addresses, characteristics of pupils preferring schools closest to home are identified in light of city area, migration status, family cultural background, and potential and actual recruitment capabilities of each school. First-generation immigrants and students of low social background residing in disadvanta…
Whom to help and why? Family norms on financial support for adult children among immigrants
Financial support for immigrant-origin children is crucial for their integration and success in the host society. Family solidarity norms among minority populations, however, tend to differ from those regulating intergenerational support exchange among natives. Do such differences reflect specific cultural preferences and expectations? Using original data collected via a semistructured questionnaire featuring vignettes, we explore values and norm…
Higher education beliefs and intentions among immigrant-origin students in Italy
The article addresses beliefs about higher education and ensuing intentions among a large sample of upper secondary school leavers in Italy, with a focus on children of immigrants. ‘Foreign’ students currently account for 7% of upper secondary students, and their incidence has been growing over time. Only a minority of non-Italian students continue their studies at the university level versus a majority of Italians. The article investigates the e…
The impact of exposure to pre-election polls on voting behaviour
This article explores Italian voters’ perception of pre-election polls and the latter’s influence on voter choice. Approximately 900 voters were asked to participate in an online simulated election campaign implemented within the voting decision model developed by Richard Lau and David Redlawsk. Voters were given access to, among other heuristics, pre-election polls; a subset of voters was also exposed to polls predicting the final outcome. Findi…
Accuracy of Pre-Election Polls for the 2006 Italian Parliamentary Election: Too Close to Call
In this article, we analyze the accuracy of over 70 published and 19 unpublished pre-election polls reporting results pertaining to the April 2006 election for the Chamber of Deputies in Italy and apply a new measure of predictive accuracy, A, recently introduced in the U.S. context. The center-left coalition won the election with a narrow margin of 0.1 percent of the votes, which came as a surprise: all published pre-election polls had attribute…
