“…While the genderedness of migration is acknowledged in the larger literature (e.g. Kraler et al 2011) and reflected, for instances, in the Turkish-European migration history that shifted from labour recruitment to family reunification (see Akgündüz 1993) and the gendered anti-Islam political debates (Roggeband and Verloo 2007), little scholarly attention has been paid to the actual change and perpetuation of gender equality attitudes due to migration and family processes. In this study, I provided tests of existing integration theories with unique empirical material on gender equality attitudes among migrants from Turkey to Europe.…”

Gender Equality Attitudes among Turks in Western Europe and Turkey: The Interrelated Impact of Migration and Parents' Attitudes

This study applies unique data on three-generation migrant and non-migrant lineages to assess how assimilation and intergenerational transmission theories hold up for attitudes on gender equality in the context of Turkey-Europe migration. Information on migration histories of families and gender equality attitudes is collected for over 800 families. Based on those data assimilation and retention theories and theories on intergenerational transmission as a means to reproduce cultural attitudes among migrant families are tested from a dissimilation-from-origin perspective: how do migrants and their descendants differ from non-migrants from the same area of origin. The results of this study support concepts that focus on context-and path-dependency: segmented assimilation is shown in the form that the more traditional migrants who move back to Turkey have children with more traditional views than comparable people without migrant ancestors (retention). At the same time, among lineages that settle in Europe, migration seems to speed up the assimilation process of becoming more supportive of gender equality. Moreover, the youth that grew up in Europe is hardly influenced by the parents' attitudes, whereas the ones growing up in Turkey are. This supports the idea of migration being a transmission belt for intergenerational transmission.

“…Finally, migrants' decisions or intentions are often correlated with family or other non-economic considerations since they cannot be interpreted simply as a direct response to changes in the opportunities offered by the labour market (Gmelch 1980;King 2000;Nauck and Settle 2001;Kofman 2004;Kraler et al 2011;Evergeti and Ryan 2011;Vlase 2013;Erdal and Ezzati 2014). In fact, 'the decision to migrate is thus typically not justified by the expected outcomes for the individual migrant alone, but by the outcomes for other family members as well' (Nauck and Settle 2001, p. 462).…”

Intentions on desired length of stay among immigrants in Italy

The decision to emigrate from the country of origin may not be a permanent one: migrants can decide to return home or to emigrate to a third country. This phenomenon, established for some time in certain other European countries, has become an important one for Italy only recently. This paper contributes to the knowledge of migrants' intentions in two ways: on the one hand, it analyses the factors associated with indecision about future plans; on the other, it focuses on the desired length of stay and its relationship with attachments (family, economic, socio-cultural and psychological) to host and home country. We used two logistic regression models: one for migrants' indecision and the other for migrants' desired length of stay. The data were collected by survey, coordinated by the ISMU Foundation and conducted in 2008 and 2009 with more than 12,000 migrants living in Italy. According to our results, indecision seems to be associated with an intermediate phase of migration at the early stage of family development in the case of negative balance of the migration experience, while attachment to the host country is associated with longer stay, and no attachments or attachment to the country of origin are associated with shorter stay.

“…Insbesondere Migrant/inn/en aus nicht EU-Staaten sehen sich nationalen Regelungen gegenüber, die immer wieder verändert und zunehmend restriktiver wurden . Dies gilt auch für Regelungen, die Familienzusammenführungen betreffen (Kofman 2011;Kraler 2010;Kraler et al . 2012), ebenso wie für allgemeine Visumsanträge und für solche von Studierenden .…”

The central topic of this article is the social devaluation of domestic work, especially focusing on its affective dimension. The question of reproduction as well as the productive character of care-work is constantly neglected in many socioeconomic studies. This counts also for Marxist analyses. Following enquiries in European countries on how domestic work is sensed, how this impacts the people delivering this work, as well as how these feelings linger in spaces and are transferred within relations, the results are interpreted in the context of processes of feminization and the coloniality of labor. Special attention is given to the situation of undocumented migrant domestic workers. As conclusion to these observations some thoughts on formulating domestic workers’ rights along the lines of the politics of affect are elaborated.
