“…Living arrangement, coded on a 5-degrees scale: 1 = "Living in encampment, shacks, squatting"; 2 = "Tenant with other migrants (not relatives)"; 3 = "Living at the workplace"; 4 = "Tenant alone or with family"; 5 = "Homeowner". Home ownership is extensively considered by literature as a factor of economic success, as well as a marker of well-being (Bárcena-Martìn and Pérez-Moreno 2016;Constant et al 2009;Davidov and Weick 2011;Gobillon and Solignac 2015;Myers and Lee 1998). For migrants, indeed, it is also commonly considered an important step in the process toward settlement, since buying a home means investing in the host country and reflects the will and the commitment to stay (Davidov and Weick 2011;Constant et al 2009; Rimoldi and Barbiano di Belgiojoso 2016).…”

Multidimensional Analysis of Deprivation and Fragility Patterns of Migrants in Lombardy, Using Partially Ordered Sets and Self-Organizing Maps

In this paper, we present a multidimensional fuzzy analysis of the levels and the patterns of poverty and social fragility of migrants' families, in the Italian region of Lombardy, in year 2014. Migrants' poverty emerges as a complex trait, better described as a stratification of nuanced patterns than in black and white terms; Lombard migrants are in fact affected, to different extents, by "a diffused sharing of deprivation facets" and cannot be trivially split into deprived and non-deprived. The paper employs innovative data analysis tools from the Theory of Partially Ordered Sets; compared to mainstream monetary approaches, this leads to more realistic estimates of poverty diffusion and eliminates some well-known biases of standard evaluation procedures, providing strong support to the use of partial order concepts and tools in social evaluation studies.

“…However, regarding literacy demand and cultural appropriateness, the HWPA scores were significantly better than those of some nonChinese OHI evaluation results [28]. This may be because, compared with China with a relatively stable cultural environment, countries in Europe and America have more immigrants and face more problems such as cultural assimilation [38], income disparity [39], and disease burden [40]. The resulting cultural and linguistic differences inevitably lead to differences in people's health-related behavior [41] and understanding of OHI [42].…”

Background As representatives of health information communication platforms accessed through mobile phones and mobile terminals, health-related WeChat public accounts (HWPAs) have a large consumer base in the Chinese-speaking world. However, there is still a lack of general understanding of the status quo of HWPAs and the quality of the articles they release. Objective The aims of this study were to assess the conformity of HWPAs to the Health on the Net Foundation Code of Conduct (HONcode) and to evaluate the suitability of articles disseminated by HWPAs. Methods The survey was conducted from April 23 to May 5, 2019. Based on the monthly (March 1-31, 2019) WeChat Index provided by Qingbo Big Data, the top 100 HWPAs were examined to evaluate their HONcode compliance. The first four articles published by each HWPA on the survey dates were selected as samples to evaluate their suitability. All materials were assessed by three raters. The materials were assessed using the HONcode checklist and the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) score sheet. Data analysis was performed with SPSS version 17.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) and Excel version 2013 (Microsoft Inc, Washington DC, USA). Results A total of 93 HWPAs and 210 of their released articles were included in this study. For six of the eight principles, the 93 HWPAs nearly consistently did not meet the requirements of the HONcode. The HWPAs certified by Tencent Corporation (66/93, 71%) were generally slightly superior to those without such certification (27/93, 29%) in terms of compliance with HONcode principles. The mean SAM score for the 210 articles was 67.72 (SD 10.930), which indicated “adequate” suitability. There was no significant difference between the SAM scores of the articles published by certified and uncertified HWPAs (P=.07), except in the literacy requirements dimension (tdf=97=–2.418, P=.02). Conclusions The HWPAs had low HONcode conformity. Although the suitability of health information released by HWPAs was at a moderate level, there were still problems identified, such as difficulty in tracing information sources, excessive implicit advertisements, and irregular usage of charts. In addition, the low approval requirements of HWPAs were not conducive to improvement of their service quality.

“…National statistics offices from over 30 European countries provide yearly samples of household- and individual-level data to this system, using a combination of surveys and administrative records (Iacovou et al, 2012). Many studies in the literature on economic integration use this dataset due to its strong harmonization of key variables (Bárcena-Martín & Pérez-Moreno, 2016; Corrigan, 2014; Eugster, 2018; Hooijer & Picot, 2015).…”

“…Multi-level modeling takes the hierarchical structure into account and enables unbiased estimates with corrected standard errors even for computations with few upper-level units (Elff et al, 2021). It is therefore rather unsurprising that the method is widely adopted in comparative, including the literature on migrants’ social protection (Bárcena-Martín & Pérez-Moreno, 2016; Corrigan, 2014; Eugster, 2018). The study employs a specific type, logistic random-intercept multi-level modeling with maximum-likelihood estimations, for all regression analyses due to the non-linear nature of the dependent variable (Hox et al, 2018, p. 103).…”

Generous to Workers ≠ Generous to All: Implications of European Unemployment Benefit Systems for the Social Protection of Immigrants

Record-high levels of international migration both toward and across Europe have recently given rise to a new body of research on the social protection of immigrants. A recurring argument in this literature maintains that migrants are generally more likely to gain access to social benefits in generous welfare states. The article offers a critical review of this hypothesis with a focus on unemployment benefit provision. The tides of European welfare politics have produced a set of systems in the past which are today highly stratified on the basis of employment. This mechanism generates a considerable benefit gap in reference to migration, especially for those who arrived to their country of residency only recently. Empirical analyses with micro-level data for 14 Western European countries provide supporting evidence for this argument. The findings indicate a negative relationship between generosity and social protection which has not been accounted for in previous research.
