Aging and the Labor Market
Peer Groups, Employment Status and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults in Ireland
Fire and home range expansion: A behavioral response to burning among savanna dwelling vervet monkeys ( Chlorocebus aethiops )
The behavioral adaptations of primates to fire‐modified landscapes are of considerable interest to anthropologists because fire is fundamental to life in the African savanna—the setting in which genus Homo evolved. Here we report the behavioral responses of a savanna‐dwelling primate, vervet monkeys ( Chlorocebus aethiops ), to fire‐induced ecological change. Using behavioral and spatial data to characterize ranging patterns prior to and postburn…
The welfare use of immigrants and natives in Germany: The case of Turkish immigrants
Purpose – This paper aims to analyze the welfare use of Turkish immigrants and natives in Germany. The authors ask whether the immigrant‐native gap in welfare use can be explained by observable characteristics, whether the mechanisms behind welfare dependence differ for Turkish immigrants and natives, and, finally, they compare the situation before and after the 2005 reform of the German welfare system. Design/methodology/approach – Using data fr…
Social assistance among immigrants and natives in Sweden
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the issue of social assistance receipt among immigrants to Sweden and compare to receipt by natives. Design/methodology/approach The paper describes the institutional background, reports statistical information and surveys the literature on the immigrant‐native disparity in social assistance receipt. Findings Most out‐payment for social assistance in Sweden refers to foreign‐born pers…
Early-life Causes and Later-life Consequences of Migration: Evidence from Older Irish Adults
Social Isolation, Loneliness and Return Migration: Evidence from Older Irish Adults
Across the subjects of economics, sociology and demography, much has been written about the difficulties faced by immigrants. However, much less attention has been paid to the difficulties which return migrants face when they come back to live in their countries of birth. A number of studies suggest that return migrants can experience significant re-adjustment challenges. In this paper, we add to this strand of research by examining the extent to…
The psychic costs of migration: Evidence from Irish return migrants
The Impact of Ireland’s Recession on the Labour Market Outcomes of its Immigrants
Are Ireland's Immigrants Integrating into Its Labor Market
Ireland has experienced a remarkable change in its migratory patterns in recent years and has moved from experiencing large-scale emigration to receiving significant inflows. In this paper, we use data from a nationally representative sample of immigrants and natives drawn in 2005 to assess the occupational attainment of immigrants in Ireland relative to natives. It is found that immigrants, on average, are less likely to be in high-level occupat…
Does Training Generally Work? The Returns to in-Company Training
Using data from surveys of enterprises in Ireland in 1993 and 1996-97, the authors estimate the productivity effects of general training, specific training, and all types of training combined. Statistically significant positive effects on productivity are found both for all training and for general training, but not for specific training. The positive effect of general training remains when the researchers control for factors such as changes in w…
Returns to education in the Irish youth labour market
The effect of immigrant admission criteria on immigrant labour-market characteristics
Did the decline continue: Comparing the labor-market quality of United States immigrants from the late 1970’s and late 1980’s
