The tipping point of intolerance
This paper provides a cross-country analysis of anti-Muslim hate crimes in Europe, using ODHIR-OSCE data for 30 countries between 2016 and 2022. We systematically compare the effects of two major shocks highlighted in the literature: radical-right electoral gains and Islamist terrorist attacks. The paper explores two mechanisms through which these shocks may impact hate crimes against Muslim minorities: (1) legitimization, whereby terrorism or ra…
Building a Set of Indicators to Assess Migrant Children's Integration in Europe
The integration of refugee and migrant children, one of Europe’s most vulnerable populations, is a crucial challenge for EU societies and their present and future social cohesion. Despite extensive knowledge on migrant integration, we still lack specific instruments to measure children's integration and set goal-oriented targets to promote it. Our research responds to this need by presenting and discussing a new child-centered system of indicator…
Happy to belong
This paper aims to explore the role of Child Well-Being (CWB) in the integration processes of migrant and refugee minors. Through the co-creative development of a new child-centered system of indicators about the integration of migrant and refugee children in Europe the authors discuss a) the prominent role of well-being in this set of indicators, and b) how reappraising these indicators from a well-being approach can contribute to delving into w…
Economic reintegration postreturn—examining the role of return voluntariness, resource mobilization and time to prepare
This paper examines conditions of international return migration and their relation to risks of experiencing economic difficulties postreturn. Relying on unique survey data among Senegalese and Romanian returnees, we revisit and provide an empirical examination of the theoretical notion of return preparedness, involving aspects of voluntariness, resource mobilization and time to prepare. The lack of time to prepare return, more commonly associate…
Financial Crisis and Migrant Domestic Workers in Spain
This article explores the impact of the Great Recession on migrant domestic workers in Spain. We argue that the domestic service sector’s relative resistance to job destruction has transformed it to some extent into a refuge activity for unemployed women from other sectors, both migrants and native Spanish workers. This leads to intensified competition over jobs and increasing stratification among domestic workers, with serious consequences both …
Migrants, markets and domestic work
This article compares Spain and Sweden, dissimilar in their welfare/care, migration and employment regimes; however, both have experienced expansions of private markets for personal household services where migrants are over-represented. Using Sen’s capabilities framework as a point of departure, we explore the extent to which regime differences shaping the dynamics of personal household service markets are reflected in the capabilities and well-…
Surveying immigrants in Southern Europe
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…
Transnationalism and Financial Crisis
The importance of transnational migration projects for international development has been increasingly recognized over the past decades. Migrants who move from the Global South or East to work in low-wage sectors such as construction, agriculture or domestic services in wealthier countries may contribute both to growth in the receiving countries and socio-economic development in their countries of origin. Parallel to scholarship on migration and …
Understanding the Dynamics of Return
Displaced persons are relevant actors in determining not only some of their life options but also some of the final results of violent conflict and policies addressing such conflict. Patterns of relocation and return are a key part of those results, especially ethnic-related conflicts. An introductory model to the micro foundations of return (and relocation) is presented here. This model is intended to provide tools for a better understanding of …
