Temporary migration, integration and the role of Policies

Principal investigator Herbert Brücker (Principal Investigator), Stella Capuano (Principal Investigator)
Description
"Durch die stetige Reduktion der Reise- und Telekommunikationskosten bei nahezu gleichbleibenden Einkommensunterschieden in Europa wird Migration und Rückwanderung zu einem weit verbreiteten Phänomen. Das TEMPO Forschungsprojekt erweitert unser Wissen über dieses wichtige Forschungsfeld hinsichtlich verschiedener Dimensionen. Zuerst werden verschiedene Datensätze aufgebaut mit deren Hilfe die Ursache und Wirkung temporärer Migration untersucht wird. Zweitens wird die Integration der Migranten in das Wirtschaftssystem analysiert und die Zeitdimension der Migrationsentscheidung in Verbindung gesetzt. Schließlich werden die politischen Entscheidungsprozesse hinsichtlich temporärer Migration und Rückmigration untersucht und deren Wohlfahrtseffekte analysiert. Projektziel Untersuchung der Arbeitsmarktwirkungen temporärer Migration Beteiligte Institute Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung der Bundesagentur für Arbeit Erasmus University Rotterdam, Department of Economics Universität Wien, Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre Hamburgisches WeltWirtschaftsInstitut "

FRIM: Fundamental rights situation of irregular immigrants in the European Union

Description
to examine key aspects of the situation of irregular immigrants in the European Union, in order to assess the extent to which their fundamental rights are respected and protected. Irregular migrants have no legal status and are therefore most vulnerable to exploitation and discrimination in key areas of social life. They are affected by formal barriers to the enjoyment and exercise of rights. More often, however, it is practical obstacles which discourage irregular immigrants to approach public service providers or courts for fear of being identified as irregular and consequently removed from the territory. This results, for instance, in persons in need of urgent medical treatment not seeking health care or victims of serious violations not seeking justice.

Ethnic Diversity and Attitudes towards Immigrants: Evidence for Threat or Contact Effects?

Principal investigator Elmar Schlüter (Principal Investigator), Ulrich Wagner (Principal Investigator), Peer Scheepers (Principal Investigator)
Description
"Theoretical background and objectives This project comprises two studies that use two different data sets to examine the influence of ethnic diversity on interethnic contacts and attitudes towards immigrants by drawing on insights from group threat and inter-group contact theory. The project advances over earlier research by a) opening the black box of the mediating mechanisms via which ethnic diversity – operationalised as the population share of immigrants – affects citizens' immigration policy preferences and interethnic contacts as well as b) testing competing propositions derived from contact and group threat theory at different individual and contextual levels of analysis. In the first study, we examine which role the size of the immigrant population plays in explaining immigrant derogation within and between European regions and consider the following question: does a larger size of immigrant population increase perceived group threat and thereby lead to greater immigrant derogation? Or does it increase intergroup contact and thereby ameliorate immigrant derogation? In the second study we derive competing hypotheses on the role the size of the immigrant population plays for explaining the anti-immigrant attitudes of Dutch citizens. Research design and methodology The first study uses regionalised European Social Survey 2002 and official data, which were analysed by means of multilevel structural equation modelling. The second study uses structural equation modelling with robust standard errors on nationally representative Dutch survey data enriched with official municipality-level statistics. Findings Both studies converge in demonstrating that ethnic diversity exerts dual effects in promoting interethnic contact, but also to produce prejudice. Perceived group threat is associated with immigrant derogation. However, intergroup contact reduces perceived group threat and thereby amends such derogation of immigrants. Between regions, our findings show that a larger size of the immigrant population increases both greater perceived group threat and intergroup contact. At the same time, the effects of perceived group threat and intergroup contact on immigrant derogation resemble those found within regions. In sum, these results lend evidence to the generalisability of both group threat and contact effects."

Fussballmigration - ein Traum von Europa und seine Wirkung auf das Deutsche Ausländerbild

Principal investigator Erdmute Alber (Principal Investigator)
Description
"Fußball boomt in Afrika. Straßenfußball hat viele öffentliche Plätze erobert und der ganze Kontinent fiebert der ersten Weltmeisterschaft auf afrikanischem Boden, Mitte 2010 in Südafrika, entgegen. Bereits seit einigen Jahren bietet Fußballspielen jungen Afrikanern die Möglichkeit um einer besseren Lebensperspektive willen nach Europa zu migrieren. Obwohl nur wenige den Sprung nach ganz oben schaffen, ist der Traum von Europa unter den jungen Talenten allgegenwärtig: sie wurden „auf der Straße entdeckt“, in Fußballschulen in ihren Heimatländern ausgebildet oder kommen als talentierte Jugendliche, um in den Jugendmannschaften europäischer Vereine an den Profibereich herangeführt zu werden. Von ihrem Wissen, der Kompetenz auf hohem Niveau Fußball zu spielen, profitieren die Vereine durch sportlichen und ökonomischen Erfolg. Die Generierung, Anwendung und Perzeption dieses Wissens in Europa stehen im Vordergrund des Projekts. Es wird erforscht werden, wie junge Afrikaner Strategien entwickeln, fußballerisches Wissen zu erlangen und dieses in europäischen Vereinen anzuwenden ob und wie sich durch die afrikanischen Profifußballer das Wissen über Migranten aus Afrika in Europa verändert und ob und inwieweit die Fußballer im Profi- wie auch im Freizeitbereich Anteil an der Generierung eines neuen Bildes über Afrikaner in Europa haben. Zudem wird untersucht werden, ob Fußballwissen als Mittel zur Integration von Migranten genutzt werden kann. Schließlich wollen wir auch das Wissen von jungen Fußballtalenten in den Blick nehmen, das notwendig ist, um nach Europa zu gelangen.Die Migration afrikanischer Fußballer ist mit zwei grundlegenden Problemen, dem Vorwurf des Menschenhandels und der Gefahr rassistischer Anfeindungen (insbesondere im Amateurbereich), verbunden, die den Prozess der Migration und Integration im Zwielicht erscheinen lassen. Eine ganzheitliche Perspektive, die den gesamten Prozess von der Wissensgenerierung über den Wissenstransfer (die Migration) bis hin zur Wissensartikulation abbildet, kann Ursachen der Probleme verorten, den beteiligten Akteuren Handlungs- bzw. Interventionsempfehlungen geben sowie aktiven Einfluss auf Integrationshemmnisse nehmen. Die Untersuchungen werden deshalb sowohl in Afrika (Südafrika und Ghana), als auch in Deutschland durchgeführt. Zudem wird „Migration und Wissen“ nicht nur im Umfeld junger afrikanischer Männer, sondern auch im Bereich weiblicher Fußballmigrationen untersucht."
