Internal Migration in Fiji: Selectivity, Socio-economic Factors and Ethnic Patterns
Fiji, located in the Pacific Ocean, is classified as a Small Island Developing State and is characterised by a high rate of internal migration. This research explores the factors influencing mobility at the individual level in Fiji. Our study aims to uncover patterns of migrant selectivity and variations in migration tendencies among diverse groups within the Fijian population. The analysis considers variables such as age, gender, ethnicity and s…
Home-Leaving Patterns Among Middle Eastern-Origin Youth in Sweden: The Influence of Origin, Generation, and Neighbourhood
This study examines home-leaving patterns among Middle Eastern (ME) immigrants and youth with ME backgrounds in Sweden using population register data for individuals aged 17 to 35 between 1998 and 2022. Applying competing risks models, we analyse transitions from the parental home to independent living while accounting for marriage as an alternative pathway. The results show that youth of ME origin are less likely than native Swedes to leave the …
Educational outcomes in stepfamilies: A comparative analysis of cohabitation and remarriage
BACKGROUNDThe motivation for this study is the growing prevalence of cohabitation over remarriage in stepfamily formation.Despite this trend, there is limited research on how cohabitation versus remarriage affects children's educational outcomes.This study examines these differences, focusing on ninth grade educational performance in Denmark. OBJECTIVEThe study investigates: How do grades differ for children in stepfamilies formed through cohabit…
Stepfamily formation and the educational outcomes of children in Sweden
Objective We examine the impact of stepfamily exposure on the educational outcomes of children, considering factors such as age at stepfamily formation, gender of the stepparent, presence of step/half‐siblings, and the stepparent's socioeconomic resources. Background The prevalence of stepfamilies across the Global North highlights the urgency of the issue. Despite a sizeable existing empirical literature, much research has been conducted on smal…
The Health of Immigrant Youth in Denmark: Examining Immigrant Generations and Origin
First-generation migrants tend to have better health than those of native ancestry, while second-generation migrants often are affected by negative health assimilation. Less is known about immigrants arriving before their teens, the 1.5 generation, or those with one native and one immigrant parent, the 2.5 generation. We apply logistic regression models to study physical and mental health outcomes for immigrant youth across generations using Dani…
Does First-Language Training Matter for Immigrant Children’s School Achievements? Evidence from a Danish School Reform
This article explores municipal variation in the implementation of a Danish educational reform. The aim of the reform was to increase the assimilation of immigrants, and removing mother-tongue training for first- and second-generation immigrants was believed to increase their proficiency in Danish. This article uses a difference-in-differences method to explore the effect of this removal on children’s educational outcomes in terms of grades in st…
Long-Term Heterogeneity in Immigrant Naturalization: The Conditional Relevance of Civic Integration and Dual Citizenship
What are the long-term differences in the propensity of immigrants to acquire destination country citizenship under different institutional contexts and how do these vary between migrant groups? This article draws on micro-level longitudinal data from administrative registers in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden-three countries with widely different and changing requirements for the acquisition of citizenship-to track the naturalization propen…
The Intergenerational Effects of Intermarriage
This study closely examines long-term outcomes of intermarriage in Denmark in terms of children’s educational performance, studying grades from final examinations. The study uses rich register data, where families are linked across generations, and contributes to the migration literature by providing new insights into the human capital formation in inter-ethnic families. The outcomes of children of intermarriage are very much in line with the out…
Cohabitation Premiums in Denmark: Income Effects in Immigrant-Native Partnerships
Intermarriage with natives has the potential to enhance immigrant integration, as intermarried immigrants gain access to resources such as language skills, information about institutions and customs, and native networks. Due to these spillover effects, immigrants in intermarriages are more likely to be successful in the labour market. However, a positive relationship between intermarriage and economic integration can also be caused by selection b…
