Ungdom i flyktningfamilier Familie og vennskap - trygghet og frihet?

Authors Ada Engebrigtsen, Øivind Fuglerud
Description
Denne rapporten er utarbeidet for Redd Barna av Ada Engebrigtsen og Øivind Fuglerud og er den første rapporteringen fra intervjuundersøkelsen «Ungdom i flyktningfamilier» som er finansiert av Helse- og Rehabilitering. Rapporten er videre basert på utdrag fra NOVA-undersøkelsen Ung i Oslo 2006. De statistiske dataene fra Ung i Oslo 2006 er bearbeidet av Bera Moseng. Intervju-undersøkelsen omfatter 36 intervjuer med 61 ungdommer i Oslo og Tromsø, Ung i Oslo omfatter bl.a. statistisk materiale fra 166 ungdommer med bakgrunn fra Somalia og 164 med bakgrunn fra Sri Lanka, alle fra Oslo. Rapporten gir en bred beskrivelse av ungdom i flyktningfamilier, hovedsaklig med somalisk og tamilsk bakgrunn, slik de selv beskriver sider ved sine liv. Rapporten legger hovedvekten på spørsmål omkring familietilknytning og familieforhold, vennskap, fritid og nabolag, forhold til skole og lærere, tillitsforhold og opplevelse av inklusjon og eksklusjon, og betydningen, men også begrensningen ved etniske fellesskap.

Ethnische und soziale Unterschiede kleinräumlicher Wohnortwahlen

Principal investigator Hartmut Esser (Principal Investigator)
Description
"Ziel des Projekts war die Erklärung ethnischer und sozialer Unterschiede bei der Wohnortwahl in Deutschland. Während in früheren Studien zahlreiche Erklärungsansätze für die Entstehung und Reproduktion ethnischer Konzentrationen entlang ethnischer und sozialer Dimensionen in Städten vorgeschlagen wurden, wurden die zugrunde liegenden Handlungen bislang kaum untersucht: die Wohnortwahlen individueller Haushalte. Es wurde angenommen, dass Wohnortwahlen das Ergebnis mehrerer Prozesse sind, die von der Ausstattung der Haushalte mit ökonomischen, sozialen und kulturellen Ressourcen abhängen. Der Hauptstudie ging eine qualitative Untersuchung anhand von 23 qualitativen Leitfadeninterviews mit deutsch- und nichtdeutschstämmigen Haushalten voran, die zu ihren Wohnpräferenzen, ihren konkreten Wohnortwahlen und langfristigen Wohnbiographien befragt wurden. Die Interviews gaben starke Hinweise auf die potentielle Rolle eingeschränkter Informationen, Pfadabhängigkeiten durch frühere Wohnbiographien und die Rolle der Wohnungsmarktstruktur, aber kaum Anhaltspunkte für das absichtliche Wohnen in ethnisch segregierten Gebieten bei Migranten. Weiterhin wurde ein Feldexperiment zur ethnischen Diskriminierung auf dem Wohnungsmarkt durchgeführt. In einem telefongestützten Audit-Design kontaktierten zufällig zugewiesene Anrufer Vermieter, die Wohnungen inseriert hatten. Bei einer Gesamtzahl von 1.613 Anrufen bzw. 852 unterschiedlichen Vermietern konnten keine signifikanten Belege für Diskriminierung gegenüber einem türkischen Namen, aber deutliche Belege für Diskriminierung gegenüber einem türkischen Akzent gefunden werden. Das Signal einer Berufstätigkeit verringerte die unterschiedliche Anzahl der Einladungen deutlich. Die Ergebnisse weisen stärker auf statistische Diskriminierung als auf präferenzbasierte Diskriminierung hin. Die Hauptstudie untersuchte Wohnbiographien und Wohnortwahlen autochthon deutscher und türkischstämmiger Haushalte in Mannheim. Es wurden 1.600 deutsche und türkischstämmige Haushalte in persönlichen Interviews befragt mit einem verstärkten Gewicht auf Haushalten, deren Umzug kürzlich vorangegangen war sowie Haushalten mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen, dass der Umzug in ein ethnisch geprägtes Gebiet vor allem das Resultat sozialer Unterschiede ist. Darüber hinaus bestehen jedoch spezifisch ethnische Aspekte, die zu unterschiedlichen Wohnortwahlen führen. Begrenztes Wissen über und eingeschränkte Berücksichtigung von vorhandenen Alternativen erhöhen die Wahrscheinlichkeit, in ein Gebiet mit hoher Migrantenpopulation zu ziehen. Die abweichenden Wohnortwahlen können nicht durch ökonomische Unterschiede alleine oder absichtlich segregierende Wohnortwahlen von Individuen erklärt werden."

A Contradiction in Terms? The activity of Women and Migrants in Extreme Right-wing Populist Parties: a case study of Sweden Democrats.

Principal investigator Anders Neergaard (REMESO Project Leader), Diana Mulinari (Participants not from REMESO)
Description
During the last 20 years their has been an upsurge in research on xenophobic populist parties mirroring their political successes. However, these studies have rarely touched upon the role of women and immigrants within these parties. While women are often invisible in research, located in a marginal role as girl-friends and sisters, migrants support to these parties is often defined as a contradiction in terms and remains un-theorised. The aim of the study is to analyse the double edged relationship between on the one side women and migrants approaching the Swedish xenophic populist party -Sweden Democrats, and on the other side the discourse of the party in respect to women and migrants in their conditions of representatives. It will identify women's and migrant's agency and explore the ways through which these shape, constrain and influence their position in the organisation. Theoretically the project is framed within gender and IMER studies, focusing on the notions of the family and nationhood, and the notions of ethnic belonging and nationhood. Methodologically the study is based on in depth interviews and life-stories with women and migrants representing SD in municipalities.
