An Investigation into Media Coverage of Immigration Using a Web Scraping Methodology: An Analysis of Online Newspaper Headlines During the 2022 Italian General Election Campaign
Migration issues dominate both political and media discourse during the campaign period and often play a decisive role in shaping election results. This study examines how Italian online newspapers with different political orientations framed migration during the 2022 Italian general election campaign. Using the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, we collected the headlines of almost 14,000 articles published between 25 September 2021 and 25 Sept…
Perceived Social Exclusion during the Covid-19 Pandemic: A European Perspective
This paper aims to study the self-perceived social exclusion of EU citizens during the COVID-19 emergency, taking into account their socio-demographic characteristics and the specific contexts of their countries of residence. To this end, we draw on data from the third round of the electronic Eurofund Living, working and COVID-19 survey , conducted between February and March 2021, when countries were still grappling with various levels of lockdow…
The Evolution of Return Migration Studies: A Systematic Literature Review With Text Mining and Topic Modelling
The study offers a systematic review of scientific literature on ‘return migration’ performing computational text mining and topic modelling. On a sample of 3000 studies indexed in Scopus and published between 1960 and 2020, we present a textual analysis and a clusters' analysis of titles, keywords, abstracts and publications' metadata. Results show a rapid growth in research since the 1970s, mirroring the evolution of migration events and the pa…
The Perceptions About the Immigration Phenomenon Communicated Through Social Media Platforms in Italy
The paper focuses on the analysis of the perceptions of immigration in Italy expressed through Twitter. More specifically we aim to identify the main words through which Twitter users talked about migration and migrants in the last decade by highlighting changes over time; to analyse relations between words in the same period; to detect sentiments and emotions expressed by tweets and retweets always verifying changes and persisting views over the…
Exploring the Nexus Between Life Satisfaction and Institutional Trust: Evidence From Italian and Foreign Citizens
The aim of this paper is to study the subjective well‐being (SWB) of the resident population in Italy, by analyzing the association between self‐reported life satisfaction and institutional trust, controlling for socio‐demographic, human capital, other measures of SWB and government change, whilst distinguishing between Italian and foreign citizens. Indeed, examining disparities in SWB between Italian and foreign citizens is crucial for understan…
Comparing Risky Behaviours Among Teenagers With Native or Immigrant Parents in Italy
Investigating adolescent risky behaviours from different cultural backgrounds helps understand societal differences. This study assesses the correlation between the cultural background and risky behaviours among adolescents in Italy, considering the migrant status and the geographical/cultural area of the maternal birthplace. Ordinal-logistic regressions were employed to analyse alcohol consumption, smoking cigarettes and binge drinking in an Ita…
What is the Relationship Between the Perceived Quality of Neighbourhood and the Self-reported Life Satisfaction in Immigrants Versus Natives in Europe
Subjective well-being (SWB) is emerging as an important measure of individual and societal progress. Among the many individual factors associated with SWB, the quality of the neighbourhood is recently receiving growing attention as a factor shaping self-reported life satisfaction in contemporary societies. However, to the best of our knowledge, studies focusing on the perceived quality of the neighbourhood are still scant. We aim to fill this gap…
The Perceptions of Migration During the Pandemic: What Twitter Data Tell Us
This paper aims to analyse sentiments and emotions about migration in Italy using Twitter, by comparing the period of COVID-19 pandemic with the previous year. We take Italy as a case study because it has been severely affected by the COVID-19, it is one of the largest recipients of immigrants in Europe and, is among the few countries that implemented an amnesty for irregular migrant workers during the pandemic. We apply a text mining and sentime…

Ethical considerations in social media analytics in the context of migration: Lessons learned from a Horizon 2020 project
The ubiquitous use of social platforms across the globe makes them attractive options for investigating social phenomena including migration. However, the use of social media data raises several crucial ethical issues around the areas of informed consent, anonymity and profiling of individuals, which are particularly sensitive when looking at a population such as migrants, which is often considered as ‘vulnerable’. In this paper, we discuss how t…

À partir de l’étude des données démographiques de l’ Institut national de statistiques ( istat ) sur les migrations internes en Italie l…
Subjective well‐being and school outcomes among children of immigrants and natives in Italy
Children of immigrants are generally disadvantaged in terms of educational outcomes in most European countries and this remains true even after controlling for their socioeconomic status. Factors affecting the long‐term educational careers among children of immigrants and natives have been broadly investigated in the literature, although limited attention has been paid so far to the role of subjective well‐being in this context. In this paper, we…

The Impact of Pre- and Postarrival Mechanisms on Self-rated Health and Life Satisfaction Among Refugees in Germany
In this study, we focus on the evolution of refugees' well-being in the first years after their arrival in Germany. In contrast to other immigrants (e.g., labor migrants), refugees experience higher risks of unexpected and traumatic events and insecurity before and during their migration and face various legal and structural barriers in the receiving country. We contribute to the existing literature by exploring from a dynamic perspective possibl…
Even worse than the undocumented? Assessing the refugees’ integration in the labour market of Lombardy (Italy) in 2001–2014
The paper aimed to assess possible gaps in labour market integration or refugees compared with other migrants, including irregular migrants in the Italian region of Lombardy in 2001–2014. Despite the Italian labour market's remarkable capacity to integrate foreign workers, our findings support the results of studies carried out in other contexts on a ‘refugee gap’ in labour market integration. Our research shows that refugees have more considerab…

"Migrants or Refugees? The Evolving Governance of Migration Flows in Italy during the "Refugee Crisis
Since the beginning of its experience as an immigration country, Italy has received only small numbers of asylum-seekers. Until the late 2000s, with the reception of EU directives on asylum, Italy had hardly any comprehensive normative framework on asylum. The so-called refugee crisis initiated in the second half of 2013, with hundreds of thousands people crossing the Mediterranean to reach Italy, has decisively changed these features. In such a …

To stay or to return? Return migration intentions of Moroccans in Italy
Using data from the Statistics on Income and living conditions of families with migrants carried out by ISTAT in 2009, we empirically examine the effect of micro level determinants on Moroccans’ return migration intentions. Although Moroccans living in Italy do not have a clear aspiration to return, the socio‐economic and work conditions in Italy determine their migration intentions. Furthermore, our research led us to argue that macro‐level dete…

Variation in transnationalism among Eastern European migrants in Italy: The role of duration of residence and integration
Transnationalism of first-generation migrants, usually considered as a core element of their migratory projects, is nowadays taken somewhat for granted. Our aim in this paper is to examine empirically the relations of transnationalism with duration of residence and integration of Eastern European migrants in Italy, a country which evolved into a mass immigration one since the 1980s. Data come from the Integrometro survey 2008–2009, encompassing m…
