Census‐Based Estimates of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting Among Foreign‐born Women and Girls in Europe
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a significant global public health and human rights concern that has become increasingly relevant in Europe due to sustained migration from practicing countries. However, the absence of harmonized, age‐specific data has limited up‐to‐date comparative estimates of FGM/C prevalence among migrant populations. We present updated estimates of the number of foreign‐born women and girls aged 10 years and abov…
Understanding the dimensions of mental labor: The invisible load of Italian mothers
These results highlight the persistence of gendered divisions in the organization of unpaid care in Italy. The unequal mental load borne by mothers underscores the need to address both individual and relational determinants of family work distribution, with implications for well-being, gender equity, and family policy
Early Occupational Outcomes of University Graduates in Italy. A ‘Centre–Periphery’ Geographical Approach
The diversification of young people's life trajectories in Europe over the past 50 years has been significantly influenced by more uncertain social and economic conditions, marked by high youth unemployment and increasing job insecurity. In Italy, precariousness has propagated unevenly across regions and social strata, particularly affecting women and young people from the South, exacerbating existing territorial disparities. This study adopts a …
A revised estimation of female genital mutilation/cutting among migrants in Italy for the year 2023
This study presents a revised estimation of the prevalence of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) among migrant women and second-generation girls in Italy as of 1 January 2023. The study is based on an enhanced indirect estimation of the prevalence among migrants and data on first- and second-generation women legally residing in Italy as of 1 January 2023. The study estimates that approximately 88,600 women aged 15 and over have undergone F…
Is there an integration paradox in Italy? Empirical evidence on youths with a migrant background
The present study examines the integration paradox – the positive association between higher structural integration achievements and higher feelings of discrimination and exclusion – among young immigrant descendants aged 14–35 in Italy. Based on data provided by the Survey on Condition and Social Integration of Foreign Citizens carried out by the National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) in 2011–2012, we address three main questions: do immigrant…

Exploring financial reverse remittances. A quantitative study in the Italian context
While many studies examine the remittances sent by migrants to their home countries, little is known about the financial resources that flow from home countries to migrants abroad, also known as reverse remittances. Following an in-depth analysis of the limited existing literature, our study focuses on the practice of financial reverse remittances among migrants living in the Italian region of Lombardy to assess their incidence, their relationshi…
Introducing the role of the municipality of residence in studying the secondary migration of international migrants. Evidence from Lombardy (Italy)
Secondary internal and international movements of migrants are receiving increasing attention in Europe while research has so far focused on the characteristics of individuals who remigrate or plan to re‐emigrate, the attributes of the place that secondary migrants aim to leave have been less studied compared to other personal characteristics. This knowledge gap is primarily due to the fact that detailed information on the municipality of residen…
Legal Status and Fertility Patterns: Regulation-Induced Disruption Among Previously Undocumented Immigrant Women in Italy
We explore, using a unique survey dataset containing retrospective information on immigrants’ legal status, the relationship between previous irregular experience—from arrival up to the first residence permit achievement—and fertility patterns among non-EU immigrant women in Italy. While competing hypotheses explaining migrants’ fertility behaviour have been recurrently offered, there is a substantial lack of knowledge on the role of undocumented…
Vivere le crisi economiche nell'ombra. Una analisi del rischio di perdere il lavoro per la popolazione straniera irregolare in Lombardia (2011-2021)
Migrants are a heterogeneous group concerning their residence sta-tus, which determines their different ability to cope with economic cri-ses. Migrants in an irregular condition are considered the most vulnera-ble, but empirical evidence to support this hypothesis is scarce. Using survey data from the Regional Observatory for Integration and Multi-ethnicity of Lombardy Region, this paper analyses the risk of transition to unemployment or inactivi…
Fertility Intentions Within a 3-Year Time Frame: A Comparison Between Migrant and Native Italian Women
The body of literature on the fertility of migrants in Europe has grown significantly in recent decades. The focus has mostly been on analysing their actual behaviours, and reflection on other crucial aspects extensively analysed in studies on natives has been lacking. In particular, differences between migrants’ reproductive decision-making process and that of natives are currently understudied in the European context. We will focus on the assoc…
Traces in the shadow: Occupational outcomes of previously undocumented migrants in Italy
Using a representative sample of currently legal third‐country immigrants in Italy, obtained from the Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens survey, this article examines the long‐term labour market consequences of previous undocumented spells. First, formerly undocumented immigrants are identified using retrospective information on respondents' legal status. Second, immigrants are classified according to the duration of irregular s…
Change and stability of migration intentions. Evidence from Italy
Due to a lack of relevant data, very few empirical studies have examined the changes in and stability of secondary migration intentions. We aim to fill this gap by analysing return migration intentions among international migrants in Italy. Data are drawn from the cross‐sectional SCIF survey conducted by ISTAT in 2011–2012. Our findings reveal that migration intentions at the beginning of the migratory experience tend to differ from those measure…
Who Wants to Become Italian? A Study of Interest in Naturalisation among Foreign Migrants in Italy
Since the early 1990s, Italy, along with other countries situated at Europe’s periphery, has become an attractive destination for migrants due to its lax regulation of migration and its job market. Despite its restrictive naturalisation laws, an increasing number of migrants are becoming eligible for Italian citizenship, which has led to a growing number of naturalisations in recent years. Existing research exploring naturalisation and its determ…

Welfare and social protection: What is the link with secondary migration? Evidence from the 2014‐crisis hit Italian region of Lombardy
Evidence on the relationship between secondary international migration and welfare state (or formal protection) support is currently limited. Also, the experience of financial support from semiformal and informal social protection networks has seen limited inclusion in current reflections on secondary mobility patterns such as onward and return migration. Our study analyses the relationship between support from formal, informal and semiformal soc…
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…
Labour market profiles of Albanian migrants in Italy: Evidence from Lombardy 2001–2015
Albanian migration to Italy represents one of the most intense and iconic East‐West migration flows of recent decades and a paradigmatic case of intra‐Mediterranean migration. This paper uses a unique data set collected by the Lombardy region’s Observatory of Integration and Multiethnicity in 15 annual cross‐sectional surveys over the period 2001–2015. Analysis of this data set enables us to address three questions: first, what are the main facto…
Asylum seekers’ experiences on the migration journey to Italy (and beyond): Risk factors and future planning within a shifting political landscape
Images of desperate migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea often encapsulate Italy's role in global migration, yet a variety of political developments – including the closing of Italian ports to humanitarian ships since 2018 – highlight a political landscape that is increasingly opposed to newcomers. This study utilises survey‐based, quantitative interviews with 810 asylum seekers in Lombardy, conducted in 2017 and 2018, to better und…
Young Generations' Activism in Italy: Comparing Political Engagement and Participation of Native Youths and Youths from a Migrant Background
Focusing on individuals aged 14-35 still living with their family of origin, we compare the political activism of Italian natives with their first and second-generation migrant peers. We based our analysis on two different national household surveys, carried out by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) in 2011-2012: the survey 'Condizione e integrazione sociale dei cittadini stranieri' [Condition and Social Integration of Foreign C…
Estimates of female genital mutilation/cutting in the Netherlands: A comparison between a nationwide survey in midwifery practices and extrapolation-model
The current study has provided insight into direct estimation of FGM/C through a survey of midwifery practices in the Netherlands. Evidence based on midwifery practices data can be regarded as a minimum benchmark for actual prevalence among the subpopulation of women who gave birth in a given year
Do Migrants Get Involved in Politics? Levels, Forms and Drivers of Migrant Political Participation in Italy
Satisfied after all? Working trajectories and job satisfaction of foreign-born female domestic and care workers in Italy
Foreign-born women frequently find their first job in the domestic sector. This is usually considered a stepping-stone, but it is rather a definitive condition. We analyse the working trajectory of foreign-born women with a first job in domestic work using sequence analysis and studying their association with job satisfaction by means of logistic regression models. The data were collected as part of the Foreigners’ Job Trajectories project conduc…
The Same Fertility Ideals as in the Country of Origin? A Study of the Personal Ideal Family Size among Immigrant Women in Italy
The role of the personal ideal family size for international migrants has rarely been studied in the current debate on fertility and migration in the European context. It is not known to which extent the reduction of fertility observed among immigrants who settle in a country where fertility is lower than in their country of origin is the result of a change in fertility norms among those immigrants. The study of migrants' ideals family size has t…
Female genital mutilation/cutting in Italy: An enhanced estimation for first generation migrant women based on 2016 survey data
Reliable estimates on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting at country level are important for evidence-based policy making and service planning. This study suggests that indirect estimations cannot fully replace direct estimations, even if corrections for migrant socioeconomic selection can be implemented to reduce the bias

Engendering the fertility-migration nexus: The role of women's migratory patterns in the analysis of fertility after migration
Although women currently constitute half of the international migrant population, most theoretical frameworks used in the study of migration are still gender-neutral. Surprisingly, this is also true of the study of migrant fertility. In particular, the mai
Moving on? Gender, education, and citizenship as key factors among short‐term onward migration planners
Onward migration is a rising issue in migration studies as a consequence of the growing complexity in migration patterns worldwide. This paper analyses historic and economic reasons behind the recent surge of onward migration from Southern European countries and, more specifically, Italy. Using 2014 ORIM data about short‐term onward migration intentions and a logistic regression model, the paper explores factors that select aspirant onward migran…

The Integration of Forced Migrants Into the Italian Labor Market
Forced migrants in Italy have so far received limited assistance and follow integration trajectories into the job market typical of economic migrants. Using a multilevel statistical approach and a new source of survey data, this article describes key aspects of the economic integration of forced migrants. Particular attention is paid to testing the hypothesis that there are significant differences between them and other migrants in the risk of un…
Improving estimates of the prevalence of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting among migrants in Western countries
Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) is an emerging topic in immigrant countries as a consequence of the increasing proportion of African women in overseas communities. http://www.demographic-research.org CONCLUSION Given its wide applicability, this method would be a useful instrument to estimate FGM/C occurrence among first generation immigrants and provide corresponding support for policies in countries where information from ad hoc surve…
