Migration und Integration
Bei dem Thema Einwanderung nach Deutschland gilt es auch die Bedingungen einer gelingenden Integration von Zugewanderten in Gesellschaft, Bildung und Arbeit zu untersuchen. Die Arbeitsmarktforschung beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie die Integration in das Bildungs- und Ausbildungssystem, der Zugang zum Arbeitsmarkt sowie die Bedingungen der sozialen Teilhabe und kulturellen Integration verbessert werden können.
Aktuelle Studien zeigen zudem, dass Deutschland angesichts seiner demographischen Herausforderungen dringend auf Zuwanderung angewiesen ist. Inwiefern kann Zuwanderung der Schrumpfung und Alterung des Erwerbspersonenpotenzials entgegenwirken? Welche Entwicklungen in der nationalen und europäischen Einwanderungspolitik begünstigen die Einwanderung von Erwerbspersonen und Fachkräften? Die hier zusammengestellte Literatur bietet einen aktuellen und umfassenden Überblick über den Themenkomplex Migration und Integration.

Butterwegge, Carolin (2017): Kinderarmut in Deutschland. Risikogruppen, mehrdimensionale Erscheinungsformen und sozialräumliche Ausprägungen. (FGW-Studie Integrierende Stadtentwicklung 01), Düsseldorf, 37 S.
Abstract
"Kinderarmut, in Deutschland ein sozialpolitisches Problem ersten Ranges, wird von der Armutsforschung methodisch und analytisch sowohl als familiäre Einkommensarmut als auch mehrdimensional auf Kindesebene erfasst. Die Expertise zeigt, dass Kinder und Jugendliche aus Erwerbslosen- und alleinerziehenden Familien die Hauptrisikogruppen sind, und geht der Frage nach, inwiefern die Flüchtlingszuwanderung die Kinderarmut vermehrt. Aktuelle Forschungsbefunde verdeutlichen, wie eingeschränkt und benachteiligt sich die Lebenslagedimensionen des Wohnens, der kulturellen Entfaltung sowie der Freizeitmöglichkeiten für Kinder aus armen Familienverhältnissen darstellen. Je früher und länger diese Benachteiligung auftritt, umso ausgeprägter sind die oftmals lebenslangen Folgen etwa in Bezug auf Bildungsbenachteiligung und dauerhafte Armutsrisiken. Die sozialräumlichen Trends der Konzentration von Kinderarmut in ohnehin benachteiligten Gebieten und Regionen illustrieren, dass Armutsbekämpfung auch regional differenziert und zielgerichtet ausgestaltet werden muss."

Tipping and the effects of segregation (2017)

Böhlmark, Anders & Alexander Willén (2017): Tipping and the effects of segregation. (Working papers / Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy 2017,14), Uppsala, 92 S.
Abstract
"We examine the effect of ethnic residential segregation on short- and long-term education and labor market outcomes of immigrants and natives. Our identification strategy builds on the one-sided tipping point model, which predicts that neighbourhood native population growth drops discontinuously once the immigrant share exceeds a certain threshold. After having identified a statistically and economically significant discontinuity in native population growth at candidate tipping points in the three metropolitan areas of Sweden between 1990 and 2000, we show that these thresholds also are associated with a discontinuous jump in ethnic residential segregation. We exploit these thresholds to estimate the intent-to-treat effect of tipping. We find modest adverse education effects among both immigrants and natives. These effects do not carry over to the labor market." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Ethnic concentration and language fluency of immigrants: evidence from the guest-worker placement in Germany (2016)

Abstract
"This paper analyses the impact of regional ethnic concentration on the language proficiency and language use of immigrants. It solves the endogeneity of immigrants' location choices by exploiting a peculiar episode of the German immigration history: the exogenous placement of guest-workers after WWII, one of the largest guest-worker programs on record. The econometric approach accounts for several sources of measurement error and provides a falsification exercise that hypothetically relocates the most language proficient immigrants into ethnic enclaves to test the extent of cross-regional sorting necessary to render the results purely spurious. The results show a robust negative effect of ethnic concentration on immigrants' language ability which is driven by differences in contact rates with natives and not by differences in the willingness to integrate. The paper discusses these findings against the background of a language production function and in the light of feasible policy options to foster the language acquisition of immigrants."

Abstract
"Prevailing Anglo-Saxon theories on urban segregation based on class and 'migrant-status' have often been rejected for continental European cities, mainly because of different economic and labour market structures and higher levels of state interventions and welfare support in the latter type of cities. As urban economies in continental Europe are growing ever more global and welfare states are in continuous restructuring we seek to investigate whether a typical European socially balanced migrant city, the city (and metropolitan region) of Amsterdam, is developing into the direction of a more outspoken 'double dual' condition with populations getting more spatially segregated in terms of class and migrant status. This study looks at developments in terms of the spatial dynamics of the 'native' and immigrant population of different classes. We find that the region is undergoing a transformation, which for now reduces spatial concentrations and inequality. As the urban core is gentrifying and some suburban neighbourhoods are declining, the typical dichotomy of a poor-migrant central city versus affluent-native suburbs is vanishing. These developments point to a different type of social-migrant city, one with a patchwork of residential milieus along social and cultural lines. However, we challenge the sustainability of that patchwork over time." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Hill, Marc (2016): Nach der Parallelgesellschaft. Neue Perspektiven auf Stadt und Migration. (Kultur & Konflikt 08), Bielefeld: Transcript, 249 S.
Abstract
"Die Bronx, Neukölln, Banlieues und jetzt Molenbeek - alle Bezirke tauchen in negativen Wissensproduktionen auf und werden als Parallelgesellschaften diskreditiert. Einmal mehr zeigt sich, dass sich so erkenntnishemmende Sichtweisen auf Stadt und Migration bilden. Marc Hill durchkreuzt stigmatisierende Großstadtdiskurse und betrachtet sie aus entgegengesetzter Perspektive. Dabei trifft er auf mehrheimische Biografien und postmigrantische Lebensentwürfe inmitten eines weltoffenen Bahnhofsviertels am Wörthersee. Fernab von Ballungsräumen ergibt sich aus der Erfahrung der Migration die Erkenntnis: Urbanität und Demokratie sind auf marginalisierungskritische Kompetenzen angewiesen, damit die Alltagsrelevanz von Vielfalt ins Bewusstsein gerät."

The strength of ethnic ties: routes into the labour market in spaces of segregation (2016)
Klinthäll, Martin; Urban, Susanne;Zitatform
Klinthäll, Martin & Susanne Urban (2016): The strength of ethnic ties. Routes into the labour market in spaces of segregation. In: Urban studies, Jg. 53, H. 1, S. 3-16. DOI:10.1177/0042098014560498
Abstract
"This study analyses whether ethnic segregation leads to social isolation and lack of access to valuable informal channels into the labour market. We use a survey of Swedish-born young adults in Stockholm, whose parents were born either in Turkey (Stratum T) or in Sweden (Stratum S). Stratum T was randomly sampled, whereas Stratum S was sampled according to the residential distribution of Stratum T. Our results show that persons in Stratum T use informal contacts in order to find employment more often than Stratum S. Living in immigrant-dense areas increases the likelihood of finding employment through informal contacts. For Stratum T, co-ethnic contacts are more important than other contacts, in particular if they are neighbours. Access to ethnic networks and the use of ethnic contacts in the labour market differ between persons of Turkish, Kurdish and Assyrian/Syriac backgrounds. In contrast to the isolation thesis, this study shows that young adults in immigrant-dense neighbourhoods have access to and benefit more from informal channels in order to find ways into labour market."

Education systems, school segregation, and second-generation immigrants' educational success: Evidence from a country-fixed effects approach using three waves of PISA (2016)

Teltemann, Janna & Reinhard Schunck (2016): Education systems, school segregation, and second-generation immigrants' educational success. Evidence from a country-fixed effects approach using three waves of PISA. In: International Journal of Comparative Sociology, Jg. 57, H. 6, S. 401-424. DOI:10.1177/0020715216687348
Abstract
"Many countries are increasingly being challenged to integrate their growing immigrant populations. A major key to successful integration is the educational attainment of immigrant offspring. According to the results of comparative studies, second-generation immigrant students often lag behind their non-immigrant counterparts even though the host countries perform very differently with respect to the education of immigrant offspring. This study investigates how the interplay between the degrees of stratification and standardization in education systems and the degree of ethnic school segregation affects the performance gap between non-immigrant and second-generation immigrant students in member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Based on data from three waves of the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study (2003, 2006, and 2009), this article presents a country fixed effects approach to analyzing repeated cross-sectional data by investigating how changes in education policies and institutional contexts are associated with non-immigrant - immigrant reading performance gap. Between-school stratification was associated with lower performance of second-generation immigrants relative to native students, particularly when paired with ethnic school segregation, whereas within-school stratification (ability grouping) was associated with higher relative performance of the immigrant students. In addition, the non-native students benefited from less standardization of educational input, because performance gaps were smaller when a country's educational resources were distributed unequally."

Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund zahlen elf Euro mehr Miete pro Monat (2016)

Winke, Tim (2016): Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund zahlen elf Euro mehr Miete pro Monat. In: DIW-Wochenbericht, Jg. 83, H. 47, S. 1133-1143.
Abstract
"Seit 2006 gilt in Deutschland das Allgemeine Gleichbehandlungsgesetz - auch für den Wohnungsmarkt. Die vorliegenden Berechnungen auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels zeigen jedoch, dass Mieterinnen und Mieter mit Migrationshintergrund deutschlandweit im Jahr 2013 durchschnittlich knapp elf Euro höhere Mieten pro Monat zahlten als Haushalte ohne Migrationshintergrund. Und das, obwohl ihre Wohnungen im Schnitt über weniger Zimmer pro Person verfügten und in Nachbarschaften mit höherer Arbeitslosigkeit sowie geringerer Kaufkraft lagen. Mit Hilfe einer Dekompositionsmethode werden die empirischen Hintergründe der Mietpreisdifferenz aufgezeigt. Ein Teil dieser Mietpreisbenachteiligung lässt sich so auf Faktoren wie kürzere Wohndauer und dem meist städtischen Kontext zurückzuführen. Trotz Berücksichtigung dieser strukturellen Wohnunterschiede bleibt ein Großteil der Mietpreisdifferenz jedoch statistisch unerklärt. Das Ergebnis deutet auf Einschränkungen beim Zugang zu günstigem Wohnraum für Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund hin. Bei direkter Befragung berichten Wohnungssuchende aus muslimischen Ländern und dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien besonders häufig von Diskriminierungserlebnissen. Eine Nachbesserung des Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetzes und die Förderung einer Antidiskriminierungskultur im Wohnungsmarkt könnten Benachteiligungen vorbeugen und besonders im Hinblick auf die Integration von Geflüchteten sinnvoll sein."

Ethnic enclaves, networks and self-employment among Middle Eastern immigrants in Sweden (2015)

Andersson, Lina & Mats Hammarstedt (2015): Ethnic enclaves, networks and self-employment among Middle Eastern immigrants in Sweden. In: International migration, Jg. 53, H. 6, S. 27-40. DOI:10.1111/j.1468-2435.2011.00714.x
Abstract
"The proportion of immigrants from countries in the Middle East living in Sweden has increased since the 1970s, and it is a well-known fact that immigrants from the Middle East suffer from low earnings and high rates of unemployment on the Swedish labour market. There are often great hopes that self-employment will enable immigrants to improve their labour market situation. Further, in Sweden as in many other countries, the question of whether the existence of ethnic enclaves are good or bad for immigrants' earnings and employment opportunities has also been widely debated. This paper presents a study of the extent to which Middle Eastern ethnic enclaves and networks in Sweden enhance or hinder immigrants' self-employment. The results show that the presence of ethnic enclaves increases the propensity for self-employment. Thus, immigrants in ethnic enclaves provide their co-ethnics with goods and services that Swedish natives are not able to provide. The results also show that ethnic networks seem to be an obstacle to immigrant self-employment. One explanation is that an increase in network size implies increased competition for customers among self-employed immigrants. The question of whether ethnic enclaves are good or bad for the integration of immigrants into the labour market has been widely debated. The results of this paper provide us with information about the integration puzzle. Ethnic enclaves seem to enhance self-employment propensities among Middle Eastern immigrants in Sweden."

Abstract
"We use a new data set on Italy and a novel identi?cation strategy to analyse the relationship between migrants' employment status and the percentage of non-Italians living nearby. Our data contain information at the very local level and are representative of both legal and illegal migrants. Identi?cation exploits the physical characteristics of local buildings as a source of exogenous variation in the incidence of migrants. We ?nd that migrants residing in more immigrant-dense areas are less likely to be employed. This penalty is higher if the migrants leaving nearby are illegal and it is not mitigated if they are from own ethnic group or more pro?cient in Italian." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Worker 'posting' or temporary migration of manual workers sent by their employers to work on projects abroad has become increasingly prominent in the European construction industry. It is now normal to find groups of workers from all around Europe on construction sites, living in nearby temporary accommodations, moving on to other projects or back home when the project is complete. This article highlights the interaction between the social and spatial segregation and transnational mobility of these workers in the European Union construction labour market. We argue that the work-focused and employer-dominated nature of the posted workers' social world abroad contributes to their segregation from host societies and reinforces a nationally based labour market segmentation of the European construction labour market. This is because posted workers do not have the same opportunity or interest to build political, social and economic resources in host societies and workplaces as more permanent migrants."

Abstract
"As in other Western countries, in Sweden there is a widespread conviction that residential segregation influences the opportunities for residents' social mobility and therefore is a cause of income inequality. But the opposite direction of causality, from income inequality to residential segregation, is often ignored. The paper fills this gap and analyses income inequality and economic residential segregation developments in Malmö in the years 1991 - 2010. During this period, changes in population composition owing to increased immigration had a negligible impact on income inequality, while the latter was primarily influenced by changes in the distribution of labour market earnings and capital incomes. At the same time, neighbourhood income inequality was predominantly driven by overall household income inequality and only to a much lower extent by the increase in residential sorting by income. Policy influencing income distribution rather than area-based strategies should thus be at the centre of current debates on residential segregation in Sweden." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Im Zuge stärkerer Einwanderung nach Deutschland und drohendem Fachkräftemangel ist die Integration von Immigranten von großer Bedeutung. Hier lässt sich häufig beobachten, dass Migranten gleicher oder ähnlicher Herkunft gemeinsam in der gleichen Nachbarschaft wohnen. Sowohl die ökonomische Theorie als auch andere empirische Arbeiten geben keinen eindeutigen Hinweis darauf, ob diese ethnische Segregation förderlich oder hinderlich für die Integration von Migranten ist. Insbesondere für Deutschland existiert bisher kaum Evidenz zu dieser Fragestellung. In diesem Papier wird der Effekt ethnischer Segregation auf den Arbeitsmarkterfolg von Migranten analysiert. Dabei wird der Arbeitsmarkterfolg als Erwerbsbeteiligung zum einen und als Lohnniveau zum anderen definiert. Um für mögliche Endogenität der Wohnortwahl zu kontrollieren, wird eine zweistufige Vorgehensweise aus einer Kontrollfunktion und einem Instrumentvariablenansatz gewählt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es einen negativen Effekt der ethnischen Segregation sowohl auf die Erwerbsbeteiligung als auch das Lohnniveau gibt. Dieser Effekt ist sogar größer, wenn für die Endogenität der Wohnortwahl kontrolliert wird." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"This book presents a research report on the results of the TIES survey conducted in Germany in 2008. It elaborates various aspects of the integration of the second generation with a Turkish and Yugoslavian migration background in Berlin and Frankfurt. Topics covered include educational careers and educational outcomes, labour market positions, segregation and housing, ethnic and cultural orientations, social relations, and family formation and partner relationships. The focus of the report is the description and classification of quantitatively ascertained empirical data. It discusses a broad range of issues from migration research concerning the integration process of second generations. The relevance of this sort of research lies partly in its potential to clarify whether or not the German-born children of labour migrants have the same chances and opportunities as the children of native-born parents. A first, but important approach to answer this question is the following extensive description of second-generation migrants in various areas of German society." (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Gender differences in the effect of residential segregation on workplace segregation among newly arrived immigrants (2015)

Tammaru, Tiit, Magnus Strömgren, Maarten van Ham & Alexander Danzer (2015): Gender differences in the effect of residential segregation on workplace segregation among newly arrived immigrants. (IZA discussion paper 8932), Bonn, 17 S.
Abstract
"Contemporary cities are becoming more and more diverse in population as a result of immigration. Research also shows that within cities residential neighborhoods are becoming ethnically more diverse, but that residential segregation has remained persistently high. High levels of segregation are often seen as negative, preventing integration of immigrants in their host society and having a negative impact on people's lives. Segregation research often focuses on residential neighborhoods, but ignores the fact that a lot of interaction also takes place in other spheres of life, such as the workplace. This paper examines the role of residential segregation in workplace segregation among recently arrived immigrants. By using unique longitudinal register data from Sweden, we show that the role of residential segregation in workplace segregation differs in an important way for immigrant men and immigrant women."

Abstract
"Currently, in many Western countries there are concerns that clustering of ethnic minorities in certain parts of cities will negatively affect integration processes. However, scholarly theory and evidence on this point is mixed. We use Swedish data and conduct a panel analysis quantifying the degree to which the ethnic composition of the neighbourhood affects the subsequent labour income of individuals for the 1991 to 2006 period. We employ a fixed effects model to reduce the potential bias arising from unmeasured individual characteristics leading to neighbourhood selection. We also control for a range of individual demographic and socioeconomic attributes. Based on gender-stratified analyses of eight immigrant categories (N = 110,000) in three Swedish metropolitan areas, we find that male immigrants (females less so) gain if they reside in neighbourhoods with higher shares of co-ethnics and (under most circumstances) other immigrants, though the impact depends on neighbourhood level of employment and trajectory of ethnic share. This, we argue, should not be seen as an argument for ethnic residential segregation, but it tells us that the high degree of exclusion from the labour market experienced by many immigrants in Sweden is not directly caused by the level of immigrant residential segregation."

Abstract
"This paper provides a comprehensive description of the nature and extent of ethnic segregation in Germany. Using matched employer - employee data for the universe of German workers over the period 1975 to 2008, I show that there is substantial ethnic segregation across both workplaces and residential locations and that the extent of segregation has been relatively stable over the last 30 years. Workplace segregation is particularly pronounced in agriculture and mining, construction, and the service sector, and among low-educated workers. Ethnic minority workers are segregated not only from native workers but also from workers of other ethnic groups, although less so if they share a common language. From a dynamic perspective, for given cohorts of workers, the results show a clear pattern of assimilation, reminiscent of typical wage assimilation profiles, with immigrants being increasingly less likely to work in segregated workplaces with time spent in the host country."

Abstract
"With income inequality on the rise and the ongoing economic downturn, the causes, consequences, and politics of inequality are undergoing a fundamental transformation. Updated and highly accessible, the fourth edition of Social Stratification provides refreshing take on existing theories, incorporates the latest data, and lends new perspectives to classic debates.
The fourth edition includes fifty new or updated readings and a new streamlined organization that allows the evolution of stratification scholarship to unfold in a systematic fashion. The new readings cover the latest research on economic inequality, including the social construction of racial categories, the new immigrant economy, new forms of segregation and neighborhood inequality, the uneven and stalled gender revolution, the role of new educational forms and institutions in generating both equality and inequality, and the extent of anti-gay discrimination in the labor market.
The result is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and methodologically diverse text appropriate for sophisticated undergraduate and graduate courses on poverty, inequality, social stratification, social problems, the labor market, social class, social mobility, and race and ethnicity."

Abstract
"This paper aims to isolate the ethnic gap on the labor market that can be attributed to ethnicity and not to differences in individual characteristics or residential location. Controlling for residential location is important as ethnic minorities often live in distressed neighborhoods. It is also challenging because spatial sorting is likely to differ across ethnicities because of labor- or housing-market discrimination. This paper shows that controlling for neighborhoods and observed individual characteristics fails to provide a consistent estimate for the component of the gap accountable to ethnicity only. However, under some assumptions, the quantity of interest is set identified even when heterogeneous sorting patterns across ethnicities are allowed for and the set estimate can still be informative. A two-step estimation method is presented and applied to explain the ethnic employment differential in France, between French individuals of North African ancestry and those with nonimmigrant parents. Most of the gap is not due to differences in residential location or individual characteristics, but rather to ethnicity itself." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Since 2000 Prato's domestic textile sector has contracted in the face of international competition. From the 1990s a large Chinese community has emerged, and since 2000 the number of Chinese clothing enterprises has increased rapidly. In recent years tensions between the Italian and Chinese communities have increased, and police investigations have risen, in part due to perceptions of unfair Chinese competition and illegality. This paper examines these tensions, their roots in differing economic practices, regulatory frameworks, and cultural values, and considers the strategies of public authorities as they seek to improve economic performance, social integration, and political stability."
