Local Communities, Distant Origins
Why do some immigrant communities establish dense ethno-religious infrastructures, while others do not? This study investigates organizational infrastructures in immigrant communities, employing a framework that examines the full spectrum of ethnic groupness, from nominal co-nationals to highly institutionalized communities. Analyzing 25,117 ethno-religious businesses and organizations catering to 54 immigrant minorities across more than 4,900 lo…
Spatial overlap
Social science research gives rise to what we call the ‘refugee mobility puzzle’: While restrictions on the freedom of residence limit refugees’ socio-economic integration, those who do not face such restrictions often move to areas with high unemployment that similarly hinder their labor market prospects. This study addresses a central element of this puzzle: What draws refugees to high unemployment areas? We propose the spatial overlap hypothes…
Under- or overexpansion of education? Trends in qualification mismatch in the United Kingdom and Germany, 1984-2017
Political and Social Consequences of Qualification Mismatches
Many employees work in jobs that do not match their level of formal education. Status inconsistency theory (SIT) argues that such mismatches result in stress, dissatisfaction, political alienation, and social withdrawal. Status inconsistency may, therefore, pose a threat to social cohesion. However, extant SIT scholarship does not fully appreciate the consequences of an identification problem due to the perfect collinearity among the effects of o…
Immigrant Men’s Economic Adaptation in Changing Labor Markets
How important were manufacturing and heavy industries to the economic integration of twentieth-century immigrants in Western societies? This article examines how macro-social change in Germany since the height of manufacturing has affected the socio-economic integration of male immigrants. We develop an analytical framework to assess how educational expansion among natives, deindustrialization, and the increasing importance of formal qualificatio…
Ethno-religious neighbourhood infrastructures and the life satisfaction of immigrants and their descendants in Germany
Urban research assigns immigrant enclaves an ambiguous role. While such areas are seen as rich in beneficial ethno-religious infrastructures and networks, they also tend to be located in deprived and stigmatised inner-city neighbourhoods. Research on neighbourhood attainment provides evidence for both, a desire to attain mainstream middle-class neighbourhoods, which grows the more immigrants and their descendants establish themselves in society, …
