Giovanni Lamura untersucht die Zusammenhänge, die zwischen den Lebensläufen in Deutschland und Italien lebender ausländischer Migranten und den auf lokaler Ebene in beiden Ländern getroffenen ausländerpolitischen Maßnahmen bestehen. Der empirische Vergleich wird auf zwei Ebenen verfolgt. Einerseits stellt der Autor Interviews mit Migranten vor, die zu den zahlreichsten Zuwanderergruppen gehören; andererseits analysiert er ausländerpolitisch relevante Beschlüsse der Bremischen Bürgerschaft sowie des Stadtrats Bologna im Zeitraum 1987 bis 1993. Die sich aus dieser Untersuchung ergebenden Resultate weisen darauf hin, daß die kommunale, von beiden Städten aktiv betriebene "Integrationspolitik" ihre Grenze in den von der entsprechenden nationalen Gesetzgebung festgesetzten Spielräumen findet. Es wird deutlich, daß die lokalen Anstrengungen für die Integration ausländischer Migranten selten erfolgreich sein können, wenn sie von der Bevölkerung für die Migranten - und nicht zusammen mit ihnen - unternommen werden. - Statistisch-demographische Einführung - Einführung in die qualitative Analyse - Bremens und Bolognas "Integrationspolitik" 1987-1993 - Schlußfolgerungen

"This report provides a range of examples on how the Active Ageing Index (AAI) can be used as a practical tool by policymakers, researchers and other interested parties to identify areas where appropriate policies can realise the active potential of older people"--Executive summary

In this topical book older people's volunteering is studied in eight European countries at the structural, macro, meso and micro levels. Overall it highlights how different interactions between the levels facilitate or hinder older people's inclusion in voluntary work and makes policy suggestions for an integrated strategy. "Active ageing" has become a key phrase in discourses about challenges and remedies for demographic ageing and the enrolment of older adults into voluntary work is an important dimension of it. The pattern and factors conditioning volunteering among older people has so far been an under-researched topic in Europe and this is the first book to study volunteering among older people comparatively and comprehensively. In this topical book older people's volunteering is studied in eight European countries at the structural, macro, meso and micro levels. Overall it highlights how different interactions between the levels facilitate or hinder older people's inclusion in voluntary work and makes policy suggestions for an integrated strategy. This book provides important new insights for academics and students interested in ageing societies, active ageing and voluntary work. It will also be of great value for policy makers and practitioners in third sector and voluntary organisations.

This book provides multinational evidence on active and healthy ageing. It generates authoritative new knowledge for mutual learning and policymaking in addressing challenges linked with population ageing. The authors discuss how to achieve better active ageing outcomes through appropriate policies including addressing life course determinants of active and healthy ageing. The chapters are distinctive in their focus on quantitative analysis of active and healthy ageing based on a first-of-its-kind composite measure, the Active Ageing Index developed during the 2012 European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations. Contributors include researchers, civil service representatives, policymakers and other stakeholders from national, regional and European organisations. This edited volume provides a multidisciplinary resource for academics and policy makers in various areas of the social sciences, especially those studying population ageing and its consequences, economists, sociologists, social policy analysts and public health experts
