Leave no child behind: Investigating the undernutrition divide among Roma and non-Roma children in the Western Balkans
Childhood undernutrition affects both physical and cognitive growth and is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality. United Nations' pledge to 'leave no one behind' requires prioritizing policies that address inequalities and reach the most marginalized communities. Yet, undernutrition among Roma children is widely higher than that among children of the majority of the population, particularly in the Western Balkans. In light of this, we …
Family networks and refugees’ health conditions. A picture from Italian informal settlements
While the relationships between social networks and health are widely acknowledged in the literature, few of these studies have covered the population of refugees living in makeshift camps. In our analysis of a nationally representative Italian survey of individuals living in informal settlements, we find that many had weak family relations: only 10 per cent had one or more family members in their settlement. The paper analyses the effects of ind…
Measuring vulnerability of asylum seekers and refugees in Italy
In recent years, a growing number of forced migrants have travelled to Italy across the Mediterranean Sea. While the number of new arrivals has diminished since 2017, the Italian reception system still struggles to process the high number of applications for international protection. A significant proportion of forced migrants who arrive in Italy end up living in informal settlements, such as occupied buildings, shacks, containers and tented camp…
Persistent joblessness and fertility intentions
The vast majority of demographic studies have approached and operationalised the notion of economic uncertainty using snapshot indicators. Hence, the complexity and diversity of individualsâ employment careers were largely hidden. We posit that the persist
Health and Living Conditions of Refugees and Asylum-seekers: A Survey of Informal Settlements in Italy
Newspapers and humanitarian organisations have long shown that many asylum-seekers and other beneficiaries of international protection are forced to live for months or even years in precarious settlements that have sprung up spontaneously throughout Italy. However, there are no official statistics on how many asylum-seekers and refugees in Italy live this way. Our survey, carried out in 2015, is the first national survey of foreign nationals livi…
A Universal Health Care System? Unmet Need for Medical Care Among Regular and Irregular Immigrants in Italy
Remittance behaviours of foreigners in Italy
This article investigates the determinants of remittance behaviours among foreigners in Italy and intends to gain a better understanding of the temporal pattern of remittances. The analysis is based on data from the 2009 “Italian Statistics on Income and Living Conditions of Households with Foreigners”. The decisions on whether to remit and how much to remit are separately yet simultaneously estimated using a zero‐inflated beta regression model. …
