Why Do They Move? Different Patterns and Motivations of Intra‐Urban Residential Mobility Among Two Major Ethnic Groups in Rome
The study analyses the settlement patterns and residential mobility motivations of the two largest extra‐EU migrant communities in Rome—Bangladeshis and Filipinos—combining unique individual‐level population register data with an original survey data. Adopting an intra‐urban and comparative perspective, it explores how sociodemographic characteristics, community background, and neighbourhood context shape (re)location patterns and underlying moti…
Where and why they move: The residential mobility of Filipino migrants in the Milan Metropolitan city (2002–2023)
This study explores the residential trajectories of Filipinos in the Milan Metropolitan City by integrating quantitative spatial analysis with qualitative biographical narratives. The quantitative data highlight processes of peripheralisation and clustering, whereas the qualitative insights reveal their deeper significance, including evolving understandings of ethnic belonging and identity. This mixed-methods approach also addresses a key limitat…
Residential mobility, housing market dynamics and metropolitan inequalities in Rome and Milan in the 2000s: Changes in suburbanisation among Italians and foreigners
Intra‐urban residential mobility and segregation of foreigners in Rome
This research studies the residential mobility of Italians and foreigners in Rome from 2002 to 2019. We examine the differences in residential mobility patterns for (1) Italians and foreigners, (2) foreign migrants by selected country of origin, and (3) the effect of intra‐urban mobility on residential segregation. Log‐linear models and segregation indexes are used to analyze unpublished microdata on residential mobility by neighbourhood from the…
The Utilisation of Preventive Health Services among Migrants in Italy
Access to and utilization of preventive health services are diversely distributed among immigrants. This paper aims to test the impact of structural, socio-economic, cultural, and contextual factors, and to test whether the acculturation theory holds true for migrants in Italy. Based on the “Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens” survey (2011–2012), this paper shows that utilization of preventive health services among immigrants de…
Migrants' choices pertaining to informal childcare in Italy and France: A complex relationship between the origin and destination countries
Childcare is a need that inevitably emerges once migrants establish themselves and their families in their destination country. However, migrants' use of informal childcare still constitutes an under‐researched phenomenon. Using data from the ‘Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens’ survey (2011–2012) for Italy and the ‘Trajectoires et Origines’ survey (2008–2009) for France, this paper examines differences between migrants living i…
Migrants’ Population, Residential Segregation, and Metropolitan Spaces - Insights from the Italian Experience over the Last 20 Years
Southern European studies of migrants’ spatial distribution within metropolitan cities (MCs) are increasingly relevant to understanding residential segregation and marginalisation, particularly of foreign nationals. This paper leverages original and partially unpublished data to examine overall and foreign national specific segregation over two decades in Rome MC and Milan MC, the two largest Italian MCs. We introduce a 5-class concentric ring ty…

Co-Resident Grandparent: A Burden or a Relief? A Comparison of Gender Roles between Italians and Migrants
In the international literature, the principal task of grandparents is generally recognized as helping their children in providing childcare. Most of those studies analyzed grandparental childcare on the whole population, and few have focused on co-resident grandparent(s), which turns out to be an understudied topic in the European context. Further, most of them investigated the effect of childcare on grandparents’ health status. However, the eld…
Targeting Policies for Multidimensional Poverty and Social Fragility Relief Among Migrants in Italy, Using F-FOD Analysis
In this paper, we apply the novel Fuzzy First-Order Dominance (F-FOD) methodology to rank migrant subpopulations in Lombardy (Italy), in terms of multidimensional poverty and social fragility, for the year 2014, with the purpose to possibly provide useful support to policy-makers, in targeting relief interventions from poverty and discomfort. The F-FOD methodology allows for the direct comparison of different distributions of poverty and fragilit…
Internal Mobility and Family Commitment of Foreigners in Italy
The internal movements of migrants are less frequently studied than international migration, although they have important labour, social, welfare and immigrant policy implications. By assuming the family as the unit of analysis, this paper examines the mechanism of selection between the foreigners who move internally and who do not, in Italy. Hypotheses are that having a family, improved economic performance, incorrect information about the first…
Multidimensional Analysis of Deprivation and Fragility Patterns of Migrants in Lombardy, Using Partially Ordered Sets and Self-Organizing Maps
Surveying immigrants in Southern Europe: Spanish and Italian strategies in comparative perspective
Italy and Spain, as countries of recent immigration and high irregularity rates, have struggled to adapt their statistical system, especially their population registers, to adequately reflect the presence of an increasing number of immigrants in their territory. The population registers of the two countries have adapted differently to these changing realities: Spain introduced significant improvements in Padrón which have increased its coverage a…
Portraits of the Italian Family: Past, Present and Future
The shape of the Italian family has radically transformed since the second half of the last century: both vertical and horizontal ties have loosened due to major changes in marriage and fertility. The signs of modernity (increases in cohabitation, birth outside marriage, separation, and divorce) have clashed with the persistence of the traditional model of the "strong" family (through the long stay in family of origin, for example), causing a sho…
The role of families in the population crisis
The population crisis in European countries can be synthesized into two phenomena: the loss of vitality and the aging society. What are the main consequences of this crisis? Can the family play a determining role in helping to face and overcoming these consequences? In this paper we suggest promoting the family as a possible means to help sustain or bring about a recovery in the demographic health of society. The first section is devoted to an an…
