Exploring the socio-educational integration of migrant children and adolescents: a comparative study across six<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Europ<\/span>e<\/span>an co<\/span>u<\/span>ntries<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This study investigates adolescent migrants<\/span>\u2019<\/span>\u00a0integration experiences in six EU countries: Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy,\u00a0<\/span>Ireland<\/span>\u00a0and Spain, drawing\u00a0<\/span>on<\/span>\u00a0data from students\u00a0<\/span>participating<\/span>\u00a0in the IMMERSE project. Using multivariate statistical analysis, the study examines\u00a0<\/span>school<\/span>\u00a0belonging, social\u00a0<\/span>support<\/span>, language competences, intercultural\u00a0<\/span>friendships<\/span>\u00a0and well-being,\u00a0<\/span>identifying<\/span>\u00a0four integration\u00a0<\/span>profiles<\/span>: competent but isolated, vulnerable learners, socially connected, and resilient multiculturalists. The study finds a strong association between integration profile and the policies of host countries, confirming this also with the MIPEX scores on related indicators.\u00a0<\/span>The study, written by Shirley Martin, Elena\u00a0<\/span>Rodr<\/span>\u00ed<\/span>gues<\/span>-Ventosa Herrera, Mercedes Fernandez and Deirdre Horgan, is published in the International Journal of Inclusive Education.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

How integration policies relate to perceptions<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of discrimination and feelings of belonging among immigrants and children of i<\/span>m<\/span>migrants. A multilevel perspective<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This article, written by Marlene\u00a0<\/span>Hilgenstock<\/span>\u00a0and Antonia C. May and published in the Ethnic and Racial Studies journal, notes that i<\/span>dentifying with the receiving society is a crucial step in\u00a0<\/span>migrants\u2019<\/span>\u00a0integration. However, this is hampered by\u00a0<\/span>perceptions<\/span>\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0d<\/span>iscrimination. The study\u00a0<\/span>argues<\/span>\u00a0that inclusive integration policies can moderate the relationship between\u00a0<\/span>perceptions<\/span>\u00a0of discrimination and identification with the receiving society among immigrants and children of immigrants. Combining individual-level data from the European\u00a0<\/span>S<\/span>ocial Survey (ESS)\u00a0<\/span>with<\/span>\u00a0MIPEX scores for 20 countries<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>t<\/span>he study finds that the negative effects of discrimination\u00a0<\/span>perceptions<\/span>\u00a0on feelings of\u00a0<\/span>belonging<\/span>\u00a0among these two groups are\u00a0<\/span>substantially reduced<\/span> in countries with more inclusive integration policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

Integration policy and establishment in Europe: A comparative quantitative study on the effect of integration policy on the structural and social integration of foreign-born people<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This master\u2019s thesis\u00a0<\/span>aims to investigate whether a more integration-friendly policy can<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>influence the structural integration of foreign-born people by examining their occupational status, and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>social integration,\u00a0<\/span>as well as<\/span>\u00a0their perceived belonging to the host country. To<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>study variations in integration policy,\u00a0<\/span>MIPEX<\/span>\u00a0is used. To\u00a0<\/span>further\u00a0<\/span>understand and explain differences between foreign-born and native-born people, the study<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>uses theories of human capital, ethnic\u00a0<\/span>borders<\/span>\u00a0and discrimination. The study<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>also examines whether discrimination has an intermediate effect\u00a0<\/span>on the relationship<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]
