How Do Migrants Fare in the Irish Labor Market? Country of Origin, Gender, Asylum and Ethnicity Effects
We use Census microdata for 2016 to investigate migrants’ labor market outcomes in Ireland, a ‘new’ country of immigration. EEA migrants can live and work in Ireland without restriction: for non-EEA migrants, immigration is strictly managed. EEA East European men and women have low unemployment rates but very low rates of professional/managerial employment. Non-EEA migrants tend to have higher unemployment rates but also high rates of work in pro…
Community-level drivers of attitudes towards immigration in Ireland
Understanding differences in children’s reading ability by social origin and gender
Given growing concerns about disadvantaged boys' achievement and disengagement from learning, this paper investigates differences in reading ability by gender and social origin. It uses data from the Growing Up in Ireland study to investigate how parents' approach to learning at home and children's exposure to early care and ed-ucation contribute to these differences. We find that both children's gender and their family's social class in-fluence …
Immigration, Identity, and Anonymity
Newcomers to Ireland confront a context of reception shaped by large-scale historical emigration and more recent immigration defined by an increasingly diverse set of origin contexts, both within and outside the European Union (EU). How has the Irish population responded to these groups, and how openly do Irish residents express their views toward different immigrant groups? We test this response using a survey experiment, which offered responden…
Austerity, Short-term Economic Recovery and Public Perception of Immigration in Ireland
The economic crisis of 2007/2008 did not affect all members of the European Union (EU) to the same extent. In the Irish case, the economic crisis and subsequent period of austerity paralleled an erosion in public support for immigration. However, little is known about how public perception changed during a period of short-term economic recovery, like that experienced in Ireland from 2014 to 2018. Using repeated cross-sectional survey data unique …
It depends on how you ask
Objective Accurate measurement of compliance with COVID-19 guidance is important for public health policy and communications. Responses to surveys, however, are susceptible to psychological biases, including framing effects and social desirability. Our aim was to measure the effects of these biases on estimates of compliance with public health guidance (eg, hand-washing, social distancing). Design We conducted two online experiments (n=1800) and …
Monitoring report on integration 2020
Research published by the ESRI and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth will be launched via a webinar on Tuesday, 15 December 2020. The Monitoring report on Integration 2020 is the latest in a series of reports on how non-Irish nationals fare compared to Irish nationals, in terms of key life domains: employment, education, social inclusion and active citizenship
What You Do Versus Who You Are
This article explores the role that home-learning activities (HLAs) play in the relationship between social origin and cognitive development using an Irish birth cohort study, Growing Up in Ireland. Numerous studies using different measures of the home-learning environment (HLE) have shown that it has considerable influence on young children's cognitive development, and that the HLE is often linked to social origin. We find a social gradient in v…
The experience of discrimination among newly arrived Poles in Ireland and the Netherlands
This paper examines discrimination and early integration among Polish migrants in Ireland and the Netherlands using a new immigrants' panel survey. Drawing on insights from research on intergroup relations, stereotyping, ethnic competition and Bail's notion of the salience of racial and cultural boundaries, the paper develops hypotheses about the role of experience in and exposure to the host country, of gender and of country context in migrants'…
A threat in the air? Perceptions of group discrimination in the first years after migration
Discrimination is a problem for both minority groups and the societies in which they live. Perceived group discrimination reflects the direct experiences of immigrants but is also an indicator of reception context and social cohesion in the host country. This paper examines perceptions of group discrimination among recently migrated Polish immigrants to four Western European countries, and specifically focuses on changes over time in these indivi…
Discrimination in the labour market
Previous research shows that immigrants, in common with other groups that suffer disadvantage in the labour market, are more vulnerable during recession. However, little research has focused on the impact of the Great Recession on work-related discrimination. We examine the extent to which discrimination varies across different national-ethnic groups in Ireland, and whether discrimination increased between 2004, during an economic boom, and 2010,…
Cumulative disadvantage? Educational careers of migrant students in Irish secondary schools
Recent rapid immigration of a diverse group of migrant children into an almost exclusively White Irish school population makes Ireland an interesting case study for migrant education. This article explores key points in the careers of migrant secondary school students in Ireland from an equality perspective. The article draws on data gathered as a part of a large-scale study specifically designed to investigate provision for migrant children in I…
Measuring discrimination facing ethnic minority job applicants
The role of employer discrimination in labour market matching is often acknowledged but challenging to quantify. What part of the 'ethnic penalty' in the labour market is due to recruitment discrimination? This experiment, the first of its kind in Ireland, explicitly measured this by sending out nearly 500 equivalent CVs from Irish and minority candidates in response to advertised vacancies in the greater Dublin area. We find that candidates with…
Work-Life Conflict and Social Inequality in Western Europe
Comparing Work-Life Conflict in Europe
The Impact of Flexible Working Arrangements on Work–life Conflict and Work Pressure in Ireland
Recent rapid economic growth in Ireland has been accompanied by a strong surge in the number of women in employment, and this has led to a significant increase in the proportion of dual‐earner families. These changes have brought the issue of reconciliation between work and care commitments to the fore. Flexible working arrangements in firms have been identified as one important means of balancing work and other commitments. In this article we in…
Paying the price for reconciling work and family life
A comparison of the institutional context of part-time employment in Britain, Germany and the United States forms the backdrop for this study of women's part-time work and wage penalties in each country. Results using panel data and fixed-effects wage estimates show three distinct “part-time regimes”. Germany has the lowest female labour force participation rates, and the smallest penalties for part-time employment. The United States and Britain …
Fixed-term contracts—the new European inequality? Comparing men and women in West Germany and France
This paper seeks to reveal whether fixed-term contracts are the new European inequality and does so in a comparative analysis of two countries typically regarded as eurosclerotic: West Germany and France. We compare the wages, wage growth and labour market outcomes of fixed-term contract workers relative to a matched sample of permanent workers with similar characteristics. Using seven waves of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) we fin…
A Bad Start? Fixed-Term Contracts and the Transition from Education to Work in West Germany
Fixed-term contracts in Europe have recently become the subject of both policy and research interest, seen as particularly relevant in the transition from school to work. Some commentators argue that fixed-term contracts have an integrative function in the transition from school to work, providing a ‘bridge’ to the labour market. A contrasting perspective is that they hinder successful integration into the labour market by leading to a repeating …
Welfare for the Unemployed in Britain and Germany
In recent decades, the problem of unemployment has generated fierce political and academic discussion on how national governments should address this issue. This book sheds light on a key debate in unemployment policy – that of whether unemployment benefits should be insurance-based or means-tested. It carefully compares the impact of the British and German benefit systems on poverty, the duration of unemployment and the spread of workless househ…
Persisting class inequality
In conditions of increasing economic uncertainty, a body of social stratification researchers claims that significant class inequality in life chances persists (Breen, 1997; Goldthorpe, 2000). Can we find evidence of this, and are developments similar across countries? Differences in education systems, welfare and labour market institutions may have implications for class risks and class theory. Britain and Germany differ significantly in these i…
The Labour-force Participation of the Wives of Unemployed Men
'In ganz Europa ist die Arbeitslosigkeit gewachsen. Arbeitslosigkeit trifft nicht nur den Einzelnen, sondern auch die ganze Familie. Diesen Aspekt hat die Autorin (Soziologin) untersucht. Wenn der maennliche Partner arbeitslos wird, koennte die Frau - wenn sie zuvor Hausfrau war - eine bezahlte Arbeit annehmen. Dieser so genannte 'added-Worker'-Effekt laesst sich in Deutschland tatsaechlich beobachten. In England allerdings scheint es diesen Effe…
What Works, Who Works? The Employment and Earnings Effects of Active Labour Market Programmes among Young People in Ireland
The international literature on active labour market programmes has generated inconsistent and confusing, but generally pessimistic, conclusions regarding their impact on the employment prospects of participants. This paper argues that much of this confusion is due to a general lack of attention to qualitative differences between programmes. The paper develops a typology of active labour market programmes, differentiating between training and emp…
