Contexts of partnership formation in Germany
Objective: This study examines partner-meeting channels and their association with patterns of endogamous and exogamous unions among male refugees from Syria and Afghanistan, as well as first- and second-generation men in Germany. Background: The substantial inflow of young, predominantly male refugees from Syria and Afghanistan to Germany has created markedly imbalanced partner markets, posing significant challenges for partnership formation. Th…
Partnerships in Transition, Marriages in Tradition
This study describes differences in partnership forms and parter characteristics between young male refugees from Syria and Afghanistan in Germany and demographically comparable men from the resident population, both with and without migration backgrounds. We contribute by focusing not only on current partnerships but also on retrospective partnership reports since arrival in Germany or—for those born in Germany—since adolescence, distinguishing …
Attractiveness for Status? The Link Between Physical Attractiveness and Male Refugees' Romantic Relationships in Germany
Objective This study examines the link between physical attractiveness and partnership outcomes among a group of young male refugees, drawing on Social Exchange Theory, which posits that individuals exchange valued traits—such as attractiveness—for higher status in other domains. Background A large influx of predominantly young, unmarried men from Syria and Afghanistan led to skewed sex ratios within their communities in Germany, heightening refu…

It takes two to court
Since 2015, Germany has seen a significant influx of Syrian and Afghan refugees, predominantly young, unmarried, Muslim men without well-established co-ethnic communities. Confronted with an often unwelcoming reception context, a key question arises: how likely are these refugees to develop close social ties with the resident population? This study explores the relationship between German residents' attitudes toward partnerships with refugees of …
Exploring intersectional inequalities in students' sense of belonging in education across educational pathways and across educational contexts
Introduction The study investigated inequalities in the sense of belonging in education among students in primary, secondary and tertiary levels in various European, North American and Oceanian countries. Variation across different educational contexts was explored by examining example countries (Finland, Hungary and Ireland). An intersectional approach to inequalities was adopted; more specifically, an intersection between gender, migration and …
Partnership Preferences in Modern Migration Societies
Preferences for homogamous partnerships, not only in terms of having a partner with the same ethnicity, but one with the same religion, are an important factor in explaining low levels of interethnic partnerships in Western countries. However, previous research has rarely explicitly focused on the role of preferences for partnership formation patterns. Using data from a factorial survey experiment, which was implemented in the 9th wave of the “Ch…
Online Appendix
The influx of refugees to Germany, particularly from Syria and Ukraine, has significantly increased over the past decade due to wars and political tensions in the Middle East and Europe. These refugee groups vary not only in their demographic composition but also in their cultural similarity to Germany. Drawing on theoretical frameworks related to threat perception, social identity, and socialization, this paper explores the influence of cultural…
Multidimensional effects of conflict-induced violence on wartime migration decisions
This study makes three key contributions to the literature on the effect of conflict-induced violence on wartime migration. First, while conflict-induced violence is often treated as a monolithic factor, we consider conflict-induced violence as multidimensional, varying in intensity, type and proximity. Second, by including both movers and stayers, we address the mobility bias prevalent in the literature and examine both mobility and immobility i…
Cultural distance through the lens of social closeness and individual experienceswith diversity
The influx of refugees to Germany, particularly from Syria and Ukraine, has significantly increased over the past decade due to wars and political tensions in the Middle East and Europe. These refugee groups vary not only in their demographic composition but also in their cultural similarity to Germany. Drawing on theoretical frameworks related to threat perception, social identity, and socialization, this paper explores the influence of cultural…
Cherchez l'homme? The Wartime Migration of Men in Ukraine
This research note investigates wartime migration patterns of Ukrainian men in the initial months of the full-scale invasion. We utilize data from the OneUA project, which employed non-probability sampling via META's social media platforms and survival analyses techniques to analyze the impact of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics on men's decisions either to relocate within Ukraine (i.e., becoming internally displaced) or emigrate abr…
Police discrimination and police distrust among ethnic minority adolescents in Germany
In light of ongoing debates about racially motivated police violence, this paper examines two separate but interrelated phenomena: instances of police discrimination and mistrust in police and the judicial system among ethnic minorities in Germany. Analyses are carried out based on waves 1, 3, and 5 of the CILS4EU-DE data collected among 14 to 20 year-old respondents in Germany. The focus of the paper lies on young men from the Middle East, as we…
Return intentions among Ukrainian refugees in Europe
This study examines the return intentions of Ukrainian refugee women who fled to various European countries following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. By analysing data from the cross‐national OneUA survey, which included over 18,000 respondents in eight European countries, this research investigates the interplay of contextual, compositional, and cross‐level interaction effects on their intentions to return to Ukraine. Our findings revea…
Gender Disparities in Mathematics Achievement by Ethnic Origin
The gender achievement gap in mathematics, a key component in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, has been widely documented. However, we know little about whether and how the gender gap in math achievement varies by ethnic origin. Using nationally representative data of fourth and ninth graders in Germany, we explore gender and ethnic gaps in math achievement. We measure students' math achievement using both standard…
Non-native Accents among School Beginners and Teacher Expectations for Future Student Achievements
Based on sociological, economic, and social-psychological theories of discrimination and bias, this study addresses non-native accents among ethnic minority students as they begin school and explores effects of such accents on their teachers' achievement expectations. Using a unique data set of first graders in Germany, the analysis reveals that a non-native accent is relevant to teachers' expectations net of student skills, abilities, and other …
Successful due to STEM? Labour market returns to STEM qualifications among skilled immigrants in Germany
Against the growing demand for the STEM labour force, the study examines labour market returns to STEM qualifications among immigrants who arrived in Germany since the 1980s. Analysing the German microcensus data for years 2015 and 2016, we demonstrate that skilled immigrants with STEM qualifications largely attain better labour market outcomes in Germany compared to immigrants without STEM qualifications, thus narrowing the gap to their native-b…
Self-selection of Ukrainian refugees and displaced persons in Europe
The literature on migrants’ self-selection is focused on labour migrants, while little is known about refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). We contribute to this scant literature, by (1) examining a broad set of factors that could determine self-selection, (2) contrasting self-selection profiles of refugees and IDPs, and (3) comparing self-selection profiles of refugees across countries. Specifically, we compare the self-selection pro…
Distinct Boundaries? Preferences of Immigrants’ Descendants Regarding Partnerships with Recent Refugees from Syria and Afghanistan in Germany
This study examines the preferences of young people from the majority group and minority ethnic groups in Germany regarding partnerships with recent refugees from Syria and Afghanistan. On the basis of a factorial survey experiment implemented in the year 2022 in the 9 th wave of the CILS4EU-DE data, we demonstrate that young people in Germany – both with and without migration background – are much less favourable to partnerships with refugees co…
Labor market situation of refugees in Europe
The paper sheds light on the patterns of labor market integration of refugees in Western countries, who arrived primarily during the 2015–2016 mass refugee migration. Its major focus lies on the role of individual and contextual factors responsible for refugees' success in the labor market. At the host country level, the extent of permeability along the ethnic lines and the welcome of reception—both on the part of the majority population and the …
Parental occupation and students’ STEM achievements by gender and ethnic origin
Research has documented a positive association between parents' background in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and children's achievement and participation in STEM. Yet it is unclear whether girls and boys with and without migration background benefit equally from having STEM-affiliated parents, and whether this relationship varies depending on the educational stage. Using nationally representative data from standardized a…
Gendered Body Mass and Life Satisfaction Among Youth in Three Western European Immigrant-Receiving Countries
In this study we aim to show distinctive patterns of the association between body weight and life satisfaction for adolescent boys and girls, respectively. We understand such patterns by bringing multiple mediating factors into one theoretical framework centred on normative perceptions. By drawing data from the first wave of the CILS4EU that captures 14-15-year-olds in Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, findings show that psychological factors,…
Covid-19–associated discrimination in Germany
This study examines whether ethnic minorities in general and Asian minorities in particular have perceived an increase in discrimination during the COVID-19 pandemic, a phenomenon known as COVID-19-associated discrimination (CAD). Drawing on the CILS4COVID data, which were collected among 3,517 individuals in the initial phase of the pandemic (mainly between April and June 2020), we demonstrate that especially Asian minorities (n = 80) report ins…
In the Ear of the Listener
This article examines the association between accented speech and the formation of friendships and partnerships among immigrants and native-born majority residents in Germany. Drawing on the sixth wave of the German extension of the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries, we analyze a neglected aspect of language — pronunciation — and find that speaking with a foreign accent is a more important correlate of the inci…
Self-fulfilling prophecies in the classroom
This study investigated the link between teacher expectations and student learning, relying on longitudinal data from 64 classrooms and 1026 first-grade students in Germany. Further, based on a subsample of 19 classrooms with 354 students, we explored the mediating role of three characteristics of teacher feedback rated in video-recorded school lessons. The results showed that teacher expectations were inaccurate to some extent; that is, they did…
Labor Markets and Economic Incorporation among Recent Immigrants in Europe
The questions asked in the paper are whether and to what extent the employment situation among recent third-country immigrants differs across European Union countries and how it is related to these countries' labor market characteristics. The European Labor Force Survey data for the 1990s are used to disentangle the roles that the individual characteristics of immigrants, on the one hand, and the structural features of the receiving societies, on…
New Immigrants ― Old Disadvantage Patterns? Labour Market Integration of Recent Immigrants into Germany
This paper examines the labour market integration of immigrants who have entered Germany since 1990, and compares their situation with that of their predecessors. The analyses based on the cumulative micro‐census data reveal that recent immigrants into Germany are on average better‐educated than their earlier counterparts, and some ethnic groups are even better‐ educated than the national average. Despite their high levels of formal education, th…
Higher Education Entry of Turkish Immigrant Youth in Germany
Drawing on three large datasets from the German Higher Education Information System Institute (HIS) from 1990, 1994 and 1999, the study reveals that Turkish youth are considerably more likely than Germans to enter tertiary education. This result sharply contrasts with findings on the Turks' poor performance in primary and secondary school. The higher propensity for tertiary education among Turks can, to some degree, be explained by their lack of …
Last Hired, First Fired? The Unemployment Dynamics of Male Immigrants in Germany
This paper explores the unemployment dynamics of various immigrant groups in Germany. Several different groups are compared against the native-born population: guest workers, ethnic Germans, immigrants from the EU-15 or other western industrialized countries, non-EU immigrants and finally second-generation immigrants. Event history techniques are applied to German Socio-Economic Panel data from the second half of the 1990s. The analyses underscor…

Institutional Structure and Immigrant Integration
The present study focuses on the incorporation of immigrants from the former Soviet Union in two receiving societies, Israel and Canada, during the first half of the 1990s. Both countries conducted national censuses in 1995 (Israel) and 1996 (Canada), making it possible to identify a large enough sample of immigrants and provide information on their demographic characteristics and their labor market activity. While both Canada and Israel are immi…
An empirical-analytical approach to the study of recent refugee migrants in Germany
Given the recent surge in interest in refugee research, this editorial discusses whether the study of refugees' migration and integration requires entirely new theoretical and methodological approaches. We make the case that refugee migration is a special type of migration and that refugee integration is subject to similar laws and regularities as the integration of all kinds of immigrants. Therefore, it should be studied using conventional theor…
Ex-Yugoslavs in the Austrian and Swedish labour markets
This paper assesses the labour market integration of ex-Yugoslav immigrants in Austria and Sweden in terms of three relevant structural characteristics of the two societies: immigration policies, labour markets and welfare regulations. The Austrian 1996 micro-census and the Swedish 1997 labour force survey data are utilised to explore the labour market attainment of ex-Yugoslav citizens in Austria and Sweden in terms of four outcomes: labour forc…
Religion and integration among immigrant and minority youth
Although previous studies have examined the role of religion in immigrant integration, little systematic knowledge is available on how much and through which mechanisms religion facilitates or hinders immigrant socioeconomic and cultural integration. The papers in this collection explore the role of religion in the socioeconomic and cultural integration of immigrants and minorities from a cross-national perspective, with a particular focus on the…
Religion and sexuality
In light of growing concerns about the acculturation prospects of Europe’s ethnic minorities, this study explores the role of religious affiliation and religiosity in the formation of attitudes towards cohabitation among young people with an immigrant background and majority populations in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and England. Evidence from the cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of the CILS4EU data largely shows that ethnic minorit…
Differences in earnings assimilation of immigrants from the Former Soviet Union to Germany and Israel during 1994-2005
The present study considers the interplay between patterns of immigrants’ self-selection and the context of reception (i.e. migration policies and the operation of the labor market) at the host country on different economic assimilation patterns. We compare three groups of immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) who arrived in Israel and Germany during 1994—2005: Jewish immigrants who arrived in Israel, Jewish immigrants who arrived in Germ…
Transition from Educational System to Labour Market in the European Union
Theoretically, the central research question of this article pertains to the way in which national institutional arrangements, namely educational systems, and related modes of labour markets and welfare provisions, affect the aggregate effectiveness of youth labour market integration in the new EU member states in comparison to the old EU countries. The study utilizes the European Union Labour Force Survey 2004. Results of the cluster analysis pr…
Integration Policies and Immigrants’ Labor Market Outcomes in Europe
Irena Kogan Sociological Science, June 3, 2016 DOI 10.15195/v3.a16 Abstract This article assesses whether two integration policy measures (labor market training and counseling) reach the immigrants who need them and whether these policies improve immigrants' labor market situations

Studying Integration from Adolescence to Early Adulthood
This data brief describes the German part and extension of the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries (CILS4EU-DE). The aim of CILS4EU-DE is to provide a data-infrastructure for theory-driven and evidence-based research on various aspects of integration among young people with and without an immigrant background in Germany. Key features of the survey are (i) its large and representative sample, with an oversampling …
Stereotype bei Lehrkräften? Eine Untersuchung systematisch verzerrter Lehrererwartungen
The price of being an outsider
This article attempts to answer the question to what extent recent reforms aimed at flexibilizing the German labour market affected immigrants and how this explains the (in)stability of their employment paths. Based on the 1996–1999 and 2001–2004 German micro-census panels, we focus not only on transitions from employment to unemployment and vice versa, but also on the type of employment, either open-ended or fixed-term. Dynamic random effects mo…
The Role of Language Resources in Labour Market Entry
This paper explores how language proficiency influences the dynamics of labour market entry among young Russians and the native populations in two former Soviet Republics—Estonia and Ukraine. We use data from the Estonian TIES survey and the Youth Transition Survey in Ukraine to compare the speed of finding any first job with that of entry to the first higher-status employment requiring good communication skills, thus revealing the role of langua…
Helpful friends? Personal contacts and job entry among youths in transformation societies
This article’s aim is to explore the role of personal contacts at the transition from school to work and compare these effects across countries with various levels of market development. Using data from school-leaver surveys for Ukraine and Croatia and applying propensity score matching, we focus on the probability of finding initial employment and the quality of this employment among those youths who adhered to personal contacts compared to thos…
Transition From School to Work in Transition Economies
This paper explores school-to-work transitions in three new EU Member states, Hungary, Slovenia and Estonia, focusing on the effect of the level of education and social background on the timing of the first significant employment and the match between educational qualifications and occupation among school leavers. So-called cohort effects are a focal point as well, since transition process and outcomes seem to be largely influenced by the dynamic…
The Effects of Relative Group Size on Occupational Outcomes
This paper examines occupational allocation of Turkish and ex-Yugoslav male immigrants in Austria at the end of 1990s. Data from Austrian labour force surveys are utilized to separate the effects of immigrants’ individual characteristics from contextual factors related to their spatial location, with particular focus on relative group size. Results largely support the occupational queuing hypothesis, according to which occupational standing of Tu…

Continuing Ethnic Segmentation in Austria
Austria has fairly complex patterns of post-World War II immigration. In addition to classic labour migrants from Turkey and the former Yugoslavia, there have been considerable inflows of refugees and displaced persons, such as Hungarians or Czechs migrating to Austria from communist countries as well as more recent refugee groups from the Middle East and Africa. The second generation of labour migrant groups have made considerable progress in ed…

The Role of Vocational Specificity of Educational Credentials for Labour Market Entry in Estonia and Slovenia
This article compares entry to their first stable employment among young people in Estonia and Slovenia after the fall of Communism, when the two countries opted for two different models with regard to the organization of their educational systems. Results show that in Slovenia with the passage of time after the start of reforms, education-job linkages among young school leavers have become stronger. Those with vocational credentials and tertiary…

Who went where? Jewish immigration from the Former Soviet Union to Israel, the USA and Germany, 1990–2000
Drawing on Israeli, German and US census data, we compare the educational levels of Jewish immigrants (and their non-Jewish family members) from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) arriving in Israel, Germany, and the US during 1990–2000. The comparison of educational levels among immigrants arriving in the three countries can be viewed as a ‘natural experiment’ in immigrants' destination options, whereby immigrants could choose two countries with prac…
