Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we examined impact of social contacts on immigrant occupational status and income. In addition to general contacts, also analyzed effects bonding (i.e., co-ethnic) bridging inter-ethnic) ties economic outcomes. Results show that have a positive effect and, in particular, annual income immigrants. We find with Germans lead higher status, but not increased These remain visible even when are measured (at least) 1 year prior outcomes, as well...

Using large-scale data on immigrants in the Netherlands, authors tested competing arguments about role of origin- and host-country human capital bonding bridging social immigrants' self-employment. When taking job-skill level into account, with a higher destination-country education are less likely to be self-employed than salary employed. Likewise, likelihood self-employment decreases origin-country work experience but not experience. The presumed positive effect is found, this study's...

Several studies in the migration literature have hypothesized that social contacts, particular contacts with natives, are important for immigrant employment. Empirical work, however, has been inconclusive whether indeed a causal effect. This study uses German Socio-Economic Panel (1984—2004) to estimate effect of male and female immigrants on their employment position. Results show family, friends neighbours being active as volunteer no significant both men women. It is also found having...

This study examines the relationship between interreligious contact and negative attitudes toward religious outgroup among minority Christians majority Muslims in Indonesia. It answers two research questions: Does reduce equally for Muslims? Are mediation by perceived group threat moderation discrimination important minorities majorities? The analysis is based on unique survey data collected from Christian Muslim students Ambon (the Moluccas) Yogyakarta (central Java). Results show that a...

Abstract This paper studies the role of labour market policies for economic outcomes immigrants with different migration motives. Using two recent European Union Labour Force Surveys ad hoc modules and applying country fixed-effects models, we examine if can alleviate disadvantage family reunification refugee in comparison to immigrants. In line previous studies, find that even after controlling differences human capital socio-demographic characteristics, reunification, particularly have...

Utilizing the German residential allocation and residency obligation policies, which can be regarded as a natural experiment, we investigate causal effect of local supply language courses on refugees' labor market integration. By restricting initial post-arrival regional mobility, these policies allow us to circumvent potential problems selection. Moreover, examine intermediary outcomes – proficiency, course completion certification, contacts with natives through opportunity structure shape...

This article contributes to previous research on immigrant integration by examining how religiosity and gender roles in European countries influence women’s labor market outcomes. Moreover, we extend theoretical work the importance of receiving country’s norms values hypothesizing testing whether countries’ varies with gender-role attitudes. Using Social Survey data multilevel regression models, find that religious women participate less fewer hours than nonreligious women. Immigrant...

Do violent conflicts increase religiosity? This study draws on evidence from a large-scale survey among refugees Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria in Germany linked with data time-varying conflict intensity refugees' birth regions before the interview. The results show that greater number of conflict-induced fatalities period interview, more often pray. relationship between praying holds equally across demographic subgroups. Evidence suggests both short- long-term cumulative affect how they...

This study examined the relationship between group identification and political action in Indonesia. We made four contributions to literature. First, we studied on behalf of religious groups role alone combination with national identification. Second, analyzed a non‐Western country where social cleavages occur primarily along lines conflict nonconflict region can be studied. Third, compared Muslims Christians, whose majority minority status varies across two regions, fourth, investigated...

Abstract This study integrates three theoretical perspectives provided by social identity theory, realistic group conflict and dominance theory to examine the relationship between religious identification interreligious contact. It relies on a unique dataset collected among Christian Muslim students in ethnically religiously diverse regions of Indonesia Philippines, where cleavages occur along lines. Religious directly predicts higher quality contact, whereas it indirectly lower quantity...

Abstract This study is related to a growing literature on the impact of receiving context immigrant labour market outcomes. Unlike previous comparative research, which has been primarily concerned with men, our focus women and role institutions particularly relevant them. Using European Union Labour Force Surveys (2011–5) augmented country-level data, we estimate country fixed-effects models gender ethnic inequalities in force participation across countries. Our results underline complexity...

Non-cognitive skills are increasingly essential in the labor market, especially given technological advances and evolving work environments. Unequal distribution of non-cognitive among various groups population may contribute to market inequalities. This article investigates significance for immigrant-native inequalities European market. Specifically, we examine potential differences between native immigrant how these affect their income. Additionally, explore whether equal levels have...

Families are important sources of social support, yet this support is not available to everyone. Support availability partly depends on the relationships that bind family members together into a structure. Researchers increasingly analyze such relational structure through network rather than household perspective. We identify two issues with approach: an inattention importance co-residence for and assumption networks do overlap. tackle these by conceptualizing families as households...

Abstract This study examines mechanisms and conditions under which ethnoreligious identification is related to support for out-group violence. It uses unique survey data collected among religious minorities majorities in conflict non-conflict regions Indonesia the Philippines. We find that strong ethno-religious positively relationship fully mediated by perception of threat, suggesting facilitates which, turn, While experience communal violence increases interreligious violence, it does not...
