“…Research has shown that the psychological impact of unemployment is smaller, and adaptation faster, among religious people (Lechner and Leopold 2015). In contrast to the factors already discussed, compositional differences in terms of religiousness benefit immigrants, as they attend religious services more frequently than German natives (Jacob and Kalter 2013).…”

AbstractThis study asked whether immigrants suffer more from job loss than German natives do. Compositional, psychosocial, and normative differences between these groups suggest that various factors intensifying the negative impact of unemployment on subjective well-being are either more prevalent, more influential, or distinct among immigrants. Based on longitudinal data from the German Socio-economic Panel Study ; N = 36,296 persons aged 20 to 64; N = 240,071 person-years), we used fixed-effects models to trace within-person change in subjective well-being across the transition from employment to unemployment and over several years after job loss. Results showed that immigrants' average declines in subjective well-being exceeded those of natives. Further analyses revealed gender interactions. Declines were smaller and similar among immigrant and native women. Among men, declines were larger and differed between immigrants and natives. Immigrant men showed the largest declines, amounting to one standard deviation of within-person change ove...

“…According to assimilation theory, structural and cultural integration are mutually reinforcing (Jacob and Kalter 2013). In other words, we would expect that support of the Scandinavian gender egalitarian values, including mothers' employment, would be more likely the more immigrants participate in overall society, the more fluent they become in the language of the host country and the more economically integrated they become.…”

“…General assimilation theory predicts that immigrants, over time and in particular over generations, will become more similar to members of the host societies. Implicitly assumed is that exposure to the host society's institutions and contact with the native population will gradually result in both economic and cultural integration (Alba and Nee 1997;Alba 2005;Jacob and Kalter 2013). While most empirical studies have concentrated on economic integration, there is now also a growing body of literature on cultural and attitudinal adaptation (Algan et al 2012;Maliepaard, Lubbers, and Gijsberts 2010).…”

Adapting to the Dual Earner Family Norm? The Case of Immigrants and Immigrant Descendants in Norway

How immigrants and their descendants adapt to the dual earner family model of Scandinavian welfare states is a topic of considerable interest. While earlier studies have addressed this issue in terms of economic integration, expanding our understanding of how cultural adaptation underpins these processes is vital. This study aims to identify patterns and dynamics shaping attitudes towards mothers' employment in Norway. The analysis draws on a survey including immigrants from Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Vietnam, as well as descendants of Pakistani immigrants and a Norwegian control group. Survey data are linked with public register data. The analysis suggests both cultural persistence and adaptation; among immigrants, country of origin is a strong predictor of attitudes, whereas years of residence in the host country is of limited importance. While I find little evidence of a gradual process of adaptation over time, the analysis shows that both economic and linguistic integration is related to more positive attitudes to mothers' employment. Pakistani descendants express stronger support for mothers' employment than immigrants from Pakistan. Although Pakistani descendants are still less supportive of mothers' employment compared to the Norwegian control group, this suggest a significant degree of adaptation from one generation to the next.

“…Andere Studien kommen dagegen zu dem Ergebnis einer größeren inter-generationalen Stabilität von Religiosität unter Muslimen (für Deutschland vgl. Diehl und Koenig 2009;Jacob und Kalter 2013). Wieder andere Studien betonen die Kontextabhängigkeit religiöser Dynamiken und verweisen dazu auf direkte Effekte xenophober Einstellungen in der lokalen Umwelt auf muslimische Religiosität (Connor 2010) oder auf vermittelnde Effekte des Ausmaßes institutioneller Anerkennung des Islam auf den Zusammenhang von muslimischer Religiosität und sozialer oder struktureller Integration (Fleischmann und Phalet 2012).…”

Based on novel data (SCIP 2010/11) from a survey among new Polish and Turkish migrants, it particularly focuses on the impact of the migratory event upon religious participation and private religious practice as well as on early trends of changing religiosity in the receiving religious practices after the migratory event. This decrease is more pronounced among Muslim Turks than among Catholic Poles and more pertinent for worship attendance than for prayer, thus attesting to the relevance of religious opportunity structure. Secondly, it can be shown that among new Polish immigrants, religious decrease is more pronounced among individuals with stronger social ties to the secular German mainstream, while this is not the case for Turks. For them, thirdof months in what may a called a process of religious re-organizations. These group-comparative dynamics. Overall, they underline that publicly visible religious diversity will remain a permanent feature of modern immigrant societies.
