"This paper examines the chances for immigrants on the European job market. The data represents a one percent sample of the German population of the Micro census for the years 1998, 2000 and 2003 and Eurostat Labour Force Survey data. The issue addressed is how the academic and occupational level of education (participation in education), labour participation, professional status, unemployment rate, income, female labour participation and atypical occupation (structure of employment) of the foreigners differ from the native population. We find that foreigners in EU countries are more likely to be unemployed and are often in lower segments of the labour market. European comparisons of the labour market situation shows that the acknowledgment of foreign degrees, discrimination, supporting measures and the labour market policy have to be taken into account, as well as the (country-specific) human capital, language skills and the immigrants' participation in education."

Introduction: In the last years migration has become a major political and social concern in West-Europe. Some researchesindicate that immigrants are more prone to certain psychiatric disorders, while other show the "immigrant paradox".Data about immigrants' admission to acute psychiatry settings and substances and alcohol use-related considerations are still controversial. Aims: To evaluate data about immigrants' admission to the acute Italian Psychiatry Ward of Hospital of Novara, focusing on substances and alcohol. Methods: The study was performed from January to December 2017, without any exclusion criteria. The final database contains detailed information including diagnostic treatment-related and sociodemographic characteristics. The sample was divided into two subgroups: immigrants with (SAU) or without a history of substances or alcohol abuse (N-SAA). Each patient was assessed with the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales and the Clinical Global Impression. Results: Of the total of 71 immigrants (mean age 37.95 years), 34 were female.49.3% of them with SAU. Specifically, immigrants with SAU seemed to have a shorter hospital stayand to obtain higher scores on the subscale "behavior" and "social" of HONOS(p<0.05). Differences in the use of antidepressants and atypical antipsychotics were showed. Conclusion: From our study resulted that immigrants are more prone to develop addictive behavior, maybe due to stress related to the migration, without information on the causality of relationship.This issue needs to be expanded in order to possibly align psychiatric services to the needs of immigrant patients.

We call for incorporating organizations into migration scholarship, and for considering immigrants in organizational research. By centering immigrant organizations (IOs) as a unit of analysis, migration scholars can reconsider whether and how IOs affect well-being, integration, political voice, identities, globalization, and development. Migration scholars must learn from scholars of organizations, but organization scholars must in turn question assumptions of nativity and citizenship in their research. Doing so illuminates the unique challenges—and, at times, opportunities—faced by IOs, especially regarding inequities tied to legal status and stigmatization. We further argue that cross-national and transnational analyses of IOs help unpack organizational embeddedness—that is, the ways in which contexts at the local, national, binational, and geopolitical levels generate opportunities and constraints. Studying IOs raises critical questions of civic inequality and organizational stigma but also highlights IOs' potential to give voice to and effect positive change for migrant communities.

"The ethnosizer, a new measure of the intensity of a person's ethnic identity, is proposed using
information on language, culture, societal interaction, history of migration, and ethnic selfidentification. A two-dimensional version classifies immigrants into four states: integration,
assimilation, separation and marginalization. Results based on the German Socio-economic
Panel for 2001 are as follows. Young migrants are assimilated or integrated the most. While
Muslims and Christians do not integrate, both assimilate the best. Immigrants with college in
the home country separate less. Having some schooling is worse than no schooling for
integration and assimilation. While ex-Yugoslavs assimilate more, Greeks, Italians and
Spaniards are no different than Turks." [author's abstract]

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the dynamics and persistence of interpersonal trust among immigrants in the USA. More specifically, the authors investigate the association between the levels of trust of US immigrants and the levels of trust in their home countries across different cohorts and generations of immigrants.Design/methodology/approachIn order to quantify the extent of this relationship, the authors use two large sets of survey data, the General Social Survey and the World Value Survey, to construct the trust of immigrants in the USA and their levels of trust in their country of origin. The final sample size for the immigrants' trust is 27,531 observations.FindingsThe examination of the two trust variables at different levels and for different cohorts show that there is an association between the levels of US immigrants' trust and the levels of trust in the country of origin, suggesting that immigrants bring their culture with them and transmit it to the next generation. However, this association differs across various cohorts and generations of immigrants. The transmission of trust is strong in the second generation but becomes weaker in the third generation and seems to disappear in the fourth generation.Social implicationsEmpirical estimates of how long the cultural traits embodied in a new immigrant are sustained in the newly adopted country are essential to the appraisal of the current apparent segregation of immigrants in the USA.Originality/valueThis paper focuses on the under-researched area of the dynamic properties of immigrants' trust by using large data sets from social surveys. The authors examine this cultural assimilation across different cohorts and generations.

One of the features of contemporary society is the increasing global mobility of professionals. While the education industry is a key site of the demand for contemporary global professional migration, little attention has been given to the global circulation of education professionals. Over past decades, immigrant teachers have been an important component of skilled and professional immigration into Australia, there is no comprehensive contemporary national study of the experiences of immigrant teachers in Australia. This article aims to fill this gap and to answer questions about their decision to move to Australia, their experience with Australian Education Departments in getting appointed to a school, their experiences as teachers in the classroom and in their new Australian community. It draws on primary data sources - in the form of a survey of 269 immigrant teachers in schools in NSW, SA and WA conducted in 2008-9 - and secondary sources - in the form of the 2006 national census and Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants in Australia – to provide insights into immigrant teachers in Australian schools, adding also to our understanding of Australia's contemporary immigration experience.
