A Malta, come in molti altri Paesi dell'Europa meridionale, i flussi migratori degli ultimi anni hanno reso le scuole molto più multietniche e multilingui rispetto a quanto lo erano in passato. La presenza dei migrant learners richiede l'impiego di misure didattiche inclusive e di politiche linguistiche che possano facilitarne l'integrazione e far sì che la scuola valorizzi le loro esperienze personali, anche a beneficio dei discenti di nazionalità maltese. In questo lavoro si prende in considerazione il caso specifico della scuola maltese, prendendo spunto anche da esperienze di altri paesi del bacino mediterraneo. Si constata che il numero crescente di migrant learners ha stimolato uno sforzo notevole da parte delle autorità educative locali per migliorare il quadro normativo delle politiche di integrazione a favore degli alunni migranti e delle loro famiglie. Tuttavia, sono necessarie ulteriori misure pratiche e utili per la scuola, sia per portare ad una conoscenza più approfondita del fenomeno e dei vantaggi che se ne possono trarre, sia per migliorare la preparazione di presidi e di insegnanti e i rapporti che essi instaurano con i genitori dei migrant learners. ; peer-reviewed
Why do high-skilled Canadian immigrants lag behind their US counterparts in labor-market outcomes despite Canada's merit-based immigration selection system and more integrative context? This article investigates a mismatch between immigrants' education and occupations, operationalized by overeducation, as an explanation. Using comparable data and three measures of overeducation, we find that university-educated immigrant workers in Canada are consistently much more likely to be overeducated than their US peers and that the immigrant-native gap in the overeducation rate is remarkably higher in Canada than in the United States. This article further examines how the cross-national differences are related to labor-market structures and selection mechanisms for immigrants. Whereas labor-market demand reduces the likelihood of overeducation in both countries, the role of supply-side factors varies: a higher supply of university-educated immigrants is positively associated with the likelihood of overeducation in Canada but not in the United States, pointing to an oversupply of high-skilled immigrants relative to Canada's smaller economy. Also, in Canada the overeducation rate is significantly lower for immigrants who came through employer selection (i.e., those who worked in Canada before obtaining permanent residence) than for those admitted directly from abroad through the point system. Overall, the findings suggest that a merit-based immigration system likely works better when it takes into consideration domestic labor-market demand and the role of employer selection.
Two decades of observation of migration processes that occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union allow identifying the general trends and direction thereof. Moreover, one gets a clear idea about the tasks and positions of various political actors who have an effect on migration dynamic. In this paper an attempt is made to identify the most important trends and place them in the context of key political actors' positions. ; Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM-East) is co-financed by the European University Institute and the European Union
The year 1984 may have started a new phase in the international migration movement of Maltese. It registered the lowest number of emigrants and return migrants in a year - 629 and 654 respectively - for the past forty years and thus yielded, practically, a net emigration of zero. This latter result rendered operative one of the basic assumptions underlying population projections in the Maltese Islands introduced by government economic planners in 1977. If this condition persists throughout the eighties, the Maltese population will grow at about 0.9% annually, that is, at the average rate of natural increase for the past years. ; peer-reviewed
In 2011, significant reforms to Canada's Family Class for immigration began with the freezing of applications for parent and grandparent sponsorship. In May 2013, a package of reforms to the Family Class was proposed, which would impose more stringent conditions for the sponsorship of parents, grandparents, and dependent children under the Family Class. In response, a coalition of civic stakeholders in Ontario mobilized through the "My Canada Includes All Families" campaign to lobby Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to stop the implementation of these changes. This paper analyzes the package of reforms and explores the impacts that past and proposed reforms might have upon the value of the family unit in Canada. This paper aims to support the "My Canada Includes All Families" campaign by presenting practical research to illustrate the benefits that parents, grandparents, and family reunification have for the Canadian social fabric in terms of social capital. Key words: policy reform, family reunification, social capital, economic rationale, racialization

It is commonly held in Malta that return migration in the postwar period! ha's been practically negligible. This impression seems to have prevailed also in government circles and is implicit in the reports of foreign economic advisers to the Malta Government. Policies on migration have been consequently reduced to strategies on attracting and encouraging emigration; policies on return migration are conspicuous by their absence although some constraints on the economic activity of migrant returnees were introduced in 1977. The ,question of return migration is critically relevant for the formulation of demographic and economic policies ,in the Maltese islands. An unpredicted high return migration would disorientate projected government plans for social and productive investment and render unattainable the desired rate of growth, of employment. Yet, despite t'he obvious importance of this factor, no attempt has been made to estimate the flow of return migration since the War. Indeed official statistics tended to under-estimate grossly the number of migrant returnees until 1974, when a change in the definition of a 'return migrant' was introduced. This paper assesses the extent of the return migration to Malta and Gozo up to 1974, that is, during the years when official data register a very low incidence of Maltese migrant returnees. It comments on Maltese migration statistics and derives an estimate of the net return flow. Some implications for economic planning of the results obtained conclude the paper, ; N/A
This paper analyses the mobilization actions among Latino populations in the United States, especially Mexican and Central American immigrants, triggered by the passage of H.R. 4437 by the U.S. House of Representatives on December 16, 2005. I expose the actors, their rationale, and mechanisms of mobilization that have raised to a historical proportion the current U.S. immigration debate. From a theoretical standpoint, I develop an analytical framework that addresses these events within the field of political transnationalism. The empirical analysis includes three levels: from a macro-meso perspective, this work suggests that mobilization actions can be explained mainly through the involvement of the Catholic Church and immigrant-supportive organizations in 32 cities across the nation. From a micro perspective, this research suggests that faith, work and family are the triggering factors for Latinos and Latino immigrants to participate in political mobilizations of this type.
