“…Many previous studies find significant effects on integration and labour-market outcomes of explanatory variables similar to those used in this study (see e.g. Dustmann and Fabbri 2005;Hansen and Lofstrom 2003;Shields and Price 2002;Bevelander and Nielsen 2001;Pendakur and Pendakur 1998;Schoeni 1998;Borjas and Hilton 1996;Montgomery 1996;Chiswick and Miller 1995, 1999Runblom 1994;Yang 1994;Hein 1993;Majka and Mullan 1992;McSpadden 1987;Bach and Carroll-Seguin 1986;Desbarats 1986;Starr and Roberts 1982;Cohon 1981).…”

We propose a method for estimating indicators of the success of local authorities at integrating immigrants in the labour-market. The proportion of time in employment of individuals is used to measure labour-market integration, and we correct for differences in characteristics of immigrants and local labour markets using a two-limit Tobit model. This method is applied to a large administrative micro dataset which contains information on all immigrants in Denmark. We compare the estimated indicators of integration to corresponding uncorrected measures, and conclude that the corrections have a significant effect on the ranking of local authorities.Keywords Employment of immigrants Á Evaluation of policies Á Integration Á Local-authority effects Á Two-limit Tobit model Á Panel data Résumé Nous proposons une méthode pour estimer le degré de succès des autorités locales en matière d'intégration des immigrés sur le marché du travail. La proportion de temps passée par les individus en situation d'emploi est utilisée pour mesurer leur intégration dans le marché du travail, et la prise en compte des différences de caractéristiques des immigrés et de marchés du travail à l'échelle locale est faite à l'aide d'un modèle Tobit à deux limites. Cette méthode est appliquée à un grand échantillon de données administratives du Danemark contenant des informations relatives à tous les immigrés. Après comparaison des estimations obtenues par cette approche à des estimations non corrigées, nous concluons à un effet significatif de la prise en compte des caractéristiques des immigrés et des marchés du travail à l'échelle locale sur la position relative des autorités locales.

“…There is also evidence that violence against immigrants increases during periods of economic decline (Higham, 1955;Wong, 1986 1980). Starr and Roberts (1982) suggest that refugees adapt better if the education level of the host community is high. Roberts and Rokeach (1956) report that prejudice against Jews and blacks is negatively related to educa?…”

Revision rgue en f M e r 1990This study examines some aspects of the adaptive process of African refugees taking up residence in Quebec city, a rather culturally homogenous area. Considering that acculturative stress and degree of contact and participation with the host society are strong indicators of one's adjustment to a new culture, the main hypothesis is that the more contact and participation one establishes with the host society. the less acculturative stress he will report. Out of 62 subjects who voluntarily accepted to participate in the study, 57 were retained for analysis. Results reveal no significant relationship between stress and contact. Multiple regression analyses used to determine the significant predictor variables indicate that age and length of stay explain 19.5% of the total variance for stress while length of stay, sex and adaptive options explain 44% of the total variance for contact. Thcx results tend to demonstrate that, for African refugees, degree of contact is a better indicator of adaptation than stress. Cadre thkriqueLe processus de migration entraine un certain nombre d'effets plus ou moins positifs dont l'intensitk et la durte varient en fonction de facteurs personnels ou environnementaux. Selon plusieurs auteurs, le stress acculturatif serait un des effets du dCplacement et semblerait un bon indice d'adaptation dans le milieu d'accueil. Le degrC de contact et de participation au sein de cette meme culture, quoique n'ayant pas encore CtC examin6 dans ce contexte, nous semble compter Cgalement parmi les Cltments contribuant au succ6s.de la dCmarche de migration.
