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.

Abstract
"Die voranschreitende Geopolitik geht mit komplexen Formen epistemischer Gewalt eurozentristischer Wissensordnungen einher. Diese zeigt sich auch in der Weitertradierung komplexitätsreduzierender Wissensproduktion sowohl über Behinderung als auch über Migration/Flucht: Es wird wiederholt über die Betroffenen, statt mit ihnen gesprochen. Robel Afeworki Abay widmet sich der Diskriminierung und Teilhabe an Erwerbsarbeit von BIPoC mit Behinderungserfahrungen und beleuchtet aus postkolonialen und intersektionalen Perspektiven die Zugangsbarrieren und Bewältigungsressourcen der Betroffenen. In seiner partizipativen Studie legt er dar, dass epistemische Gewalt hierbei als konstitutiver Bestandteil der Kolonialität des Wissens fungiert." (Verlagsangaben, IAB-Doku)

Occupation–Education Mismatch of Immigrant Women in Europe (2023)
Zitatform
Akgüç, Mehtap & Jaai Parasnis (2023): Occupation–Education Mismatch of Immigrant Women in Europe. In: Social indicators research, Jg. 170, H. 1, S. 75-98. DOI:10.1007/s11205-023-03066-0
Abstract
"Against the background of continuing gains in female education and labor market participation and rising migration, we investigate whether women work in occupations which match their educational qualifications and whether migrant women face double penalty in being overqualified for their jobs. Using the data from the European Social Survey covering 2002–2020 with detailed information about occupation and educational attainment, we show that migrant women are significantly more likely to be overqualified in their jobs relative to native women. We explore the role of individual, institutional and workplace factors, as well as attitudes, to explain the overeducation of foreign-born women compared to native-born women. While parental education, workplace and destination country characteristics are all important factors in women’s overqualification, they do not explain the immigrant women’s disadvantage. The overqualification of migrant women is particularly notable amongst low and medium skill groups and in middle income households. These results inform the policy efforts to mitigate the skills waste of migrant women by documenting the gaps, identifying the target groups and suggesting potential channels."

Forced Migration and Social Cohesion: Evidence from the 2015/16 Mass Inflow in Germany (2023)

Albarosa, Emanuele & Benjamin Elsner (2023): Forced Migration and Social Cohesion: Evidence from the 2015/16 Mass Inflow in Germany. (IZA discussion paper / Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit 15850), Bonn, 55 S.
Abstract
"A commonly expressed concern about immigration is that it undermines social cohesion in the receiving country. In this paper, we study the impact of a large and sudden inflow of asylum seekers on several indicators of social cohesion. In 2015/16, over one million asylum seekers from Syria, Afghanistan, and elsewhere arrived in Germany. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this inflow changed the public opinion on hosting asylum seekers, from being highly welcoming to fairly negative within a few months. Using individual- and county-level panel data, we test whether the evidence supports this apparent shift in attitudes. In a difference-in-differences design, we compare the attitudes of individuals in areas with large vs. small local inflows before and after the inflow. In individual survey data, we find mixed evidence of an impact on social cohesion. In a representative sample, we find no evidence that the inflow undermined social cohesion, except for a negative effect on donations to charity. In areas with high vote shares for the populist party AfD, we find that the inflow led to greater anti-immigrant sentiment and a greater concern about crime. We also show that areas with larger increases in the number of asylum seekers experienced a significant increase in anti-immigrant violence, which lasted for about two years before returning to its pre-inflow level. This effect was larger in areas with higher unemployment and greater support for AfD." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Natives' and migrants' employment uncertainty and childbearing during the great recession: a comparison between Italy and Sweden (2023)

Alderotti, Giammarco, Eleonora Mussino & Chiara Ludovica Comolli (2023): Natives' and migrants' employment uncertainty and childbearing during the great recession. A comparison between Italy and Sweden. In: European Societies, Jg. 25, H. 4, S. 539-573. DOI:10.1080/14616696.2022.2153302
Abstract
"This study contributes to the empirical research on the fertility decline registered in Europe in the aftermath of the Great Recession adopting a comparative perspective. We explore childbearing behavior during the crisis across three dimensions of vulnerability: migration background (measured as: country of origin and length of stay in the destination country), labor market uncertainty, and country of residence. We compare childbearing behavior by parity among native and migrant women with different employment statuses in Sweden and Italy. Using the Swedish population registers and the Italian Labor Force Survey, we investigate the change in childbearing probabilities between the pre-crisis (2006?2009) and the years following the onset of the crisis (2010?2015). We find that the chances of motherhood in the aftermath of the Great Recession decreased substantially among recently arrived migrant women, but also among unemployed natives and women with unstable careers. The migration and labor market vulnerabilities, however, do not accumulate: unemployment and career instability negatively affect only native women?s probability of motherhood. Finally, the country comparison demonstrates that while the duration of stay and the weaker labor market attachment reduces the chances of motherhood in both contexts, the negative effect of unemployment is particularly strong in Italy."

Immigration and Redistribution (2023)

Abstract
"TY Does immigration change support for redistribution? We design and conduct large-scale surveys and experiments in six countries to investigate how people perceive immigrants and how these perceptions influence their support for redistribution. We find striking misperceptions about the number and characteristics of immigrants. In all countries, respondents greatly overestimate the total number of immigrants, think immigrants are culturally and religiously more distant from them, and economically weaker - less educated, more unemployed, and more reliant on and favored by government Transfers - than they actually are. In the experimental part of our article, we show that simply making respondents think about immigration before asking questions about redistribution makes them support less redistribution, including actual donations to charities. The perception that immigrants are economically weaker and more likely to take advantage of the welfare system is strongly correlated with lower support for redistribution, much more so than the perceived cultural distance or the perceived share of immigrants. These findings are confirmed by further experimental evidence. Information about the true shares and origins of immigrants does not change support for redistribution. An anecdote about a “hard-working” immigrant has somewhat stronger effects but is unable to counteract the negative priming effect of making people think about immigration. Our results further suggest that narratives shape people’s views on immigration more deeply than hard facts." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © Oxford University Press) ((en))

Abstract
"As policymakers globally recognize aging in place as the preferred option for most adults, there is a growing need to supplement family or informal caregiving for frail older adults with formal homecare services, particularly for those who require 24/7 care due to significant physical and/or cognitive impairment. The core objective of this qualitative study was to explore family members' experiences in employing live-in care workers, particularly the nature of their engagement and the quality of their relationships with these care workers. Our analysis of semi-structured interviews with 35 family caregivers revealed four themes: 1) challenges in acquiring support and developing dependency; 2) negotiation of roles, responsibilities, and moral dilemmas; 3) shifting emotions between trust and suspicion; and 4) role confusion, expectations, and disappointments. The study suggests that families might benefit from formal guidance regarding fostering and maintaining positive relationships in the homecare environment. This paper provides nuanced knowledge that may inform the development of such interventions." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This article draws on a range of case studies to explain how worker posting can cause hierarchised labour mobility, involving nationality-based hierarchies in pay and conditions between workers in the same labour markets or work sites. This hierarchisation is most apparent on large construction sites, where companies systematically use posting for labour cost advantage, but it is also found on smaller sites and in other sectors besides construction. The article outlines three features of this low-wage posting system – worker hypermobility and dependency, transnational enforcement challenges, and multifaceted employer arbitrage strategies – that conspire to maintain posting as a form of hierarchised mobility. We argue that posting undermines many countervailing forces that typically mediate hierarchisation." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Is There an Ethnic Pay Gap in Germany? Evidence from a Representative Sample of the Adult Population (2023)
Zitatform
Ayaita, Adam (2023): Is There an Ethnic Pay Gap in Germany? Evidence from a Representative Sample of the Adult Population. (EconStor Preprints), Kiel, 40 S.
Abstract
"This study investigates a disparity in hourly wages (i.e., a pay gap) between employees with an ethnic minority vs. ethnic majority background in Germany. To this aim, a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition based on a representative survey of the adult population in Germany is used. The analysis is restricted to employees who completed secondary schooling in Germany (N = 9,304). The results show that, overall, ethnic minority employees receive significantly lower gross hourly wages than ethnic majority employees, and this difference amounts to 13.8%. The larger part of this gap is explained by group differences in demographic, human capital, and occupational characteristics—in particular, education level, work experience, job tenure, the precise employment status, and occupational status. However, there is also a significant unexplained pay gap that amounts to 2.7% lower wages for ethnic minority (vs. ethnic majority) employees, indicating potential wage discrimination against ethnic minority employees. The total, explained, and unexplained ethnic pay gaps appear to be somewhat larger among men than among women. Finally, an exploratory analysis suggests that the part of the ethnic pay gap that has remained unexplained might be largely explained by whether employees hold the German citizenship and whether they were born in Germany."

How Much Does Migration Affect Labor Supply in Europe? Methodological Insights and Contemporary Evidence from the European Union and Selected European Countries (2023)

Abstract
"In Europe, the slowdown in working-age population growth and population aging pose challenges, particularly vis-à-vis the current and future volume of labor supply. Throughout the 2010s, these demographic transformations took place against a backdrop of increasing migration flows and stocks. This IMR Research Note aims to enrich the discussion of the aforementioned issues and to provide methodological and empirical evidence on the role of migration stocks in shaping changes over time in two main aspects of the European labor supply: the size of the labor force and aggregate labor force participation rates from 2006 to 2018. Based on annual LFS data, we use a mixed standardization and decomposition method to determine to what extent trends in the European labor supply are driven over time by changes in population or in labor force participation rates within specific groups selected on the basis of age, gender, birth country (native- versus foreign-born), and origin country (European Union versus non-European Union). Our Research Note points out that, despite the upward trend in the labor force participation rates of native-born women and of native-born persons aged 55 years and over, the increase in labor supply in the European Union and in the 10 European countries under study in this article between 2006 and 2018 was driven by foreign-born persons. These developments suggest that, in a context of political desire for less migration, international migration has become a structural feature of European labor markets."

Barrieren der Inanspruchnahme monetärer Leistungen für Familien: Abschlussbericht (2023)
Zitatform
Baisch, Benjamin, Dagmar Müller, Corinna Zollner, Laura Castiglioni & Christina Boll (2023): Barrieren der Inanspruchnahme monetärer Leistungen für Familien. Abschlussbericht. München, 108 S. DOI:10.36189/DJI202305
Abstract
"Die vorliegende Studie ist das zweite Teilprojekt des vom BMFSFJ geförderten Projekts „Familien mit Migrationshintergrund (migfam)“. Ein bis zwei Drittel der Haushalte, die in Deutschland zum Bezug von Grundsicherungsleistungen berechtigt sind, nehmen diese nicht in Anspruch. Auch familienpolitische Leistungen erreichen häufig nicht die Zielgruppen, für die sie gedacht sind. Die Nichtinanspruchnahme monetärer Leistungen ist ein politisches Problem, weil die mit den Leistungen verbundenen Ziele, etwa die Bekämpfung von Armut oder der Ausgleich familienbedingter Lasten, schwerer erreicht werden. Daher ist es wichtig, die Gründe zu verstehen, die zur Nichtinanspruchnahme führen, um darauf aufbauend Strategien zu entwickeln, die Menschen die Verwirklichung ihrer sozialen Rechte erlauben. Das Projekt, dessen Ergebnisse im vorliegenden Bericht dargestellt werden, hat sich vor diesem Hintergrund eingehend mit der Literatur zur Nichtinanspruchnahme monetärer Leistungen befasst und dabei insbesondere die Barrieren der Inanspruchnahme für Migrantinnen und Migranten in den Blick genommen. Diese liegen teils schon im rechtlichen Ausschluss von bestimmten Leistungen, der Fokus im Projekt lag jedoch auf der Nichtinanspruchnahme von Leistungen trotz Anspruchsberechtigung. Hauptziel der Studie war es, den Forschungsstand zu (migrationsspezifischen) Barrieren der Inanspruchnahme zu sichten, das Potenzial vorhandener Surveys für weitergehende Analysen zu prüfen und Ideen für anschlussfähige Forschungen zu entwickeln. Aus der Literatur lässt sich ableiten, dass es vor allem bürokratische Hürden sind, die Menschen an der Inanspruchnahme von Leistungen hindern, z.B. komplexe Antragsverfahren, zu erbringende Nachweise oder die unzureichende Abstimmung zwischen den einzelnen Leistungssystemen. Hinzu kommen Unkenntnis und mangelnde Information über Rechtsansprüche, Sprachbarrieren, Schamgefühle sowie stigmatisierende und diskriminierende Erfahrungen der Antragstellenden. Teilweise wird auch kein Bedarf gesehen, etwa, weil die Leistungshöhe im Vergleich zum Beantragungsaufwand zu gering erscheint. Die Gründe für die Nichtinanspruchnahme monetärer Leistungen sind allerdings noch nicht hinreichend erforscht. Beispielsweise ist unklar, wie die einzelnen Einflussfaktoren zusammenwirken. Auch über regionale und gruppenspezifische Unterschiede der (Nicht-)Inanspruchnahme ist wenig bekannt. Die Auswertung vorhandener Bevölkerungssurveys führt nur bedingt weiter, weil relevante Informationen teils gar nicht erhoben werden und die Repräsentativität und Aussagekraft der Daten begrenzt ist. Sinnvoll wären, je nach Fragestellung, auch qualitative und experimentelle Studien. Insgesamt empfiehlt sich daher ein Mixed Methods-Ansatz, der die Seite der Anspruchsberechtigten ebenso wie die der Verwaltung in den Blick nimmt." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Balgová, Mária & Hannah Illing (2023): Job Displacement and Migrant Labor Market Assimilation. (ECONtribute discussion paper 246), Köln ; Bonn, 68 S.
Abstract
"This paper sheds new light on the barriers to migrants' labor market assimilation. Using administrative data for Germany from 1997-2016, we estimate dynamic difference-in-differences regressions to investigate the relative trajectory of earnings, wages, and employment following mass layoff separately for migrants and natives. We show that job displacement affects the two groups differently even when we systematically control for pre-layoff differences in their characteristics: migrants have on average higher earnings losses, and they find it much more difficult to find employment. However, those who do find a new job experience faster wage growth compared to displaced natives. We examine several potential mechanisms and find that these gaps are driven by labor market conditions, such as local migrant networks and labor market tightness, rather than migrants' behavior."

Abstract
"For many years, Germany has been facing an increasing skills shortage in key occupations and has sought to attract a growing number of highly-skilled immigrants. In striving for this goal, Germany is competing not only with other countries with similar skills⎼demands but also with more traditional immigrant-sending countries. Some of these try to counterbalance the outflow of highly⎼skilled nationals by introducing large tax discounts for emigrants who eventually return. One example is the Italian returnees’ tax scheme “Legge Controesodo” (2010), which attracted back a sizeable proportion of highly-skilled young Italians who had been working in Germany."

Can Tax Incentives Bring Brains Back? Returnees Tax Schemes and High-Skilled Migration in Italy (2023)

Bassetto, Jacopo & Giuseppe Ippedico (2023): Can Tax Incentives Bring Brains Back? Returnees Tax Schemes and High-Skilled Migration in Italy. (CESifo working paper 10271), München, 66 S.
Abstract
"Brain drain is a growing concern for many countries experiencing large emigration rates of their highly educated citizens. While several European countries have designed preferential tax schemes to attract high-skilled individuals, there is limited empirical evidence on the effectiveness of fiscal incentives in a context of brain drain, and on migration responses beyond top earners. In this paper we investigate the effects of the Italian 2010 tax scheme “Controesodo”, which granted a generous income tax exemption to young high-skilled expatriates who relocate to Italy. Eligibility requires a college degree as well as being born in 1969 or later, which creates suitable quasi-experimental conditions to identify the effect of tax incentives. Using a Triple Difference design and administrative data on return migration, we find that eligible individuals are 27% more likely to move back to Italy post-reform. Additionally, using social security data from the main origin country of Italian returnees (Germany), we uncover significant effects throughout the wage distribution, suggesting that mobility in response to tax incentives is a broad phenomenon not limited to top earners. A cost-benefit analysis reveals that the direct fiscal impact of the reform – a lower bound of the total effect in the presence of human capital externalities – is marginally positive, by virtue of the tax scheme targeting young high-skilled individuals."

Does It Pay Off? Understanding Subjective Employment Mobility of European Physicians in Germany (2023)

Becker, Regina (2023): Does It Pay Off? Understanding Subjective Employment Mobility of European Physicians in Germany. In: International migration review, Jg. 57, H. 3, S. 1099-1131. DOI:10.1177/01979183221111398
Abstract
"This article investigates the subjective employment mobility, defined as migrants' evaluation of their employment situation before and after migration, of European physicians in Germany. Analyzing different dimensions of occupation (e.g., income, working conditions, use of skills, career opportunities) of physicians who migrated to Germany from within the European Union (i.e., EU physicians), it examines which factors influence physicians' perception of whether migration worsened or improved their employment situation. I argue that the original reasons to migrate (e.g., economic, career-related, or family reasons) and other migration-related factors (e.g., language skills), as well as characteristics of the occupation (e.g., the hierarchical structure), must be considered to understand subjective employment mobility. The analyses are based on original survey data collected among EU physicians in Germany (N = 1,058). Results from OLS regressions show that physicians' original reasons for migration largely matched their subjective employment mobility, suggesting that migration for career reasons and a perceived improvement of use of skills and career opportunities are positively linked while migration for economic reasons positively affected physicians' perception of income and working conditions. Physicians aiming for the highest position perceived their overall employment situation as worse compared to before migration, and the origin region mattered, particularly for physicians from EU Eastern member-states, who were more likely to perceive an improvement in their employment situation. Results further inform understandings of labor-related migration of high-skilled professionals by identifying obstacles and conducive conditions at migration for a group that is often assumed not to face barriers in using migration for professional advancement."

The Integration of Migrants in the German Labor Market: Evidence over 50 Years (2023)

Abstract
Germany has become the second-most important destination for migrants worldwide. Using all waves from the microcensus, we study their labor market integration over the last 50 years, and document key differences to the US case. While the employment gaps between immigrant and native men decline in the first years after arrival, they remain large for most cohorts; the average gap one decade after arrival is around 10 percentage points. Income gaps are instead widening with time spent in Germany. Differences in educational and demographic characteristics explain how those gaps vary across groups, and why they widened over time: accounting for composition, integration outcomes show no systematic trend. However, economic conditions do matter, and the employment rate of some earlier cohorts collapsed when structural shocks hit the German labor market in the 1990s. Finally, we study the likely integration path of recent arrivals during the European refugee “crisis” and the Russo-Ukrainian war. (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Seit der Anwerbung sogenannter Gastarbeiter/innen in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren wurde Deutschland nach den USA zum weltweit wichtigsten Zielland für Migranten/-innen. Trotzdem tut sich Deutschland bis heute schwer damit, seine Rolle als Einwanderungsland zu akzeptieren und eine vorausschauende Einwanderungs-, Sozial- und Bildungspolitik zu betreiben, die den jeweiligen Zuwanderungsgruppen Rechnung trägt. Mithilfe neuer Daten zeigt dieser ZEW policy brief, wo bei der Arbeitsmarktintegration konkrete politische Herausforderungen liegen: Während EU-Bürger häufig Arbeit finden und zum Teil besser verdienen als Einheimische, tun sich Migranten aus außereuropäischen Ländern mit hohem Flüchtlingsanteil besonders schwer. Selbst Kinder von Zugewanderten, die das deutsche Bildungssystem durchlaufen haben, sind weiterhin benachteiligt. Insgesamt hat sich die Arbeitsmarktintegration im Laufe der Jahrzehnte verschlechtert. Dies lässt sich mit der veränderten Zusammensetzung der Neuankommenden und wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen erklären. Die Ergebnisse helfen aber auch, die Integrationsverläufe von Geflüchteten vorherzusagen, die seit 2015 nach Deutschland gekommen sind und dokumentieren das hohe Arbeitsmarktpotenzial gut ausgebildeter ukrainischer Geflüchteter."

Accommodation, empowerment and disinvestment - Typical second-language learning trajectories of Syrian refugees in Germany (2023)

Bernhard, Stefan (2023): Accommodation, empowerment and disinvestment - Typical second-language learning trajectories of Syrian refugees in Germany. In: International Migration, Jg. 61, H. 3, S. 254-269. DOI:10.1111/imig.13044
Abstract
"This paper asks how refugees' second-language learning processes are embedded in their lives in host countries. To address this question, the paper proposes the concept of second-language learning trajectories. These trajectories explain refugees' second-language learning as closely intertwined with learners' self-understanding, experiences and positioning in host countries. Using longitudinal narrative interview data from Syrian refugees in Germany, the paper identifies three different types of second-language learning trajectories, that is empowerment, accommodation and disinvestment. These trajectories have vastly diverse outcomes, not only in terms of second-language proficiency but also in terms of learning motivation, self-views and future prospects. Moreover, second-language learning trajectories evolve based on self-reinforcing dynamics that make switching between trajectories increasingly difficult over time. This is particularly detrimental to refugees on the disinvestment trajectory, which entails social decline and exclusion. The paper also identifies institutional regulations in Germany that compound refugees' struggles to gain a foothold in their host country." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © Wiley) ((en))
