  • One hundred thousand welcomes? Economic threat and anti-immigration sentiment in Ireland 1

    Egle Gusciute, Peter Mühlau et al.ARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies2022

    Public opinion has moved towards a more restrictive approach to immigration since 2008, particularly in countries more strongly affected by economic recession. This is generally assumed to be a consequence of economic threat due to greater competition for scarce material resources, such as employment, leading to anti-immigration sentiment. However, not all individuals are affected equally by job losses, nor by the presence of migrants. Using data…

  • Austerity, Short-term Economic Recovery and Public Perception of Immigration in Ireland

    Open AccessMillie Creighton, Egle Gusciute et al.ARTICLESociety2022References: 38

    The economic crisis of 2007/2008 did not affect all members of the European Union (EU) to the same extent. In the Irish case, the economic crisis and subsequent period of austerity paralleled an erosion in public support for immigration. However, little is known about how public perception changed during a period of short-term economic recovery, like that experienced in Ireland from 2014 to 2018. Using repeated cross-sectional survey data unique …

    This paper presents the results of a first field experiment on ethnic discrimination in the rental housing market in Ireland. In addition, it is one of the few studies, in the European context, to consider ethnic discrimination against European and non-European migrants. The experimental design involved creating six fictitious applicants with different ethnic and gender names. These applicants applied for vacant rental apartments advertised onlin…

  • All Welcome Here? Attitudes towards Muslim Migrants in Europe

    Open AccessEgle Gusciute, Peter Mühlau et al.ARTICLEInternational Migration2020Cited by: 14References: 16

    Islam is becoming an increasingly prevalent religion in Europe due to large inflows of Muslims over the last few decades. Previous social survey research suggests that the European public is critical of immigration from Muslim countries with concerns relating to integration and security. Using the 7th round of the European Social Survey and linking it to other data sources, this paper examines whether threat hypotheses can explain anti‐Muslim sen…

  • Cultivating problems for the future: Integration supports for resettled and spontaneous refugees in Ireland

    Open AccessSamantha Arnold, Emma Quinn et al.ARTICLEMigration Studies2019Cited by: 4References: 4

    In this article, we look firstly at trends in arrivals of spontaneous refugees and resettled refugees in Ireland and the integration supports available to this group as outlined in national-level policy. We discuss the similarities between spontaneous and resettled refugee groups in Ireland and argue that integration needs in the longer term are similar; both groups of refugees require integration supports tailored to their specific needs. We dis…
