The Material Deprivation of Foreigners: Measurement and Determinants
2016
We examine the material deprivation of foreigners on a sub-sample of the 2009 Italian Survey on Income and Living Conditions carried out by Istat. We employ an index of material deprivation that takes into account the regional level of analysis, and relies on the assignment of weights to deprivation items. The effects produced on material deprivation by several variables, interpreted as determinants, are investigated through a zero-inflated beta regression model.
Migrantes, refugiados y tercer sector social. Un análisis del papel de las grandes ONG españolas en la gestión de fondos y políticas
2022
Introducción. A lo largo de los últimos años España ha visto incrementar su población inmigrante y refugiada, lo que ha planteado nuevas necesidades en cuanto a su atención e integración. En gran medida, esta tarea ha recaído en las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales con la financiación del Estado, algo que también habría sucedido en otros países europeos afectados por la crisis de los sistemas de bienestar en mayor o menor medida. Metodología. Con el fin de obtener datos al respecto, hemos procedido a consultar la base de datos de subvenciones del Estado y las resoluciones de las convocatorias del Ministerio de Inclusión, Migraciones y Seguridad Social en relación con la financiación recibi…
Navigating the care between two distinct cultures: a qualitative study of the experiences of Arabic-speaking immigrants in Norwegian hospitals
2021
Abstract Background During the past decades, there has been an increase in the number of immigrants to European and Scandinavian countries. This has challenged the health-care systems, which cater to the needs of patients despite their cultural and linguistic barriers, in these countries. Most studies on this topic have focused on the perspectives of health-care providers in delivering their service. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how hospitalized Arabic-speaking patients experienced their interaction with the Norwegian health-care system. Methods In-depth interviews with 20 participants and researcher’s participant observation were conducted to explore the idiosyncrat…
The skill paradox: explaining and reducing employment discrimination against skilled immigrants
2015
Using a social identity theory approach, we theorized that recruiters might be particularly biased against skilled immigrant applicants. We refer to this phenomenon as a skill paradox, according to which immigrants are more likely to be targets of employment discrimination the more skilled they are. Furthermore, building on the common ingroup identity model, we proposed that this paradox can be resolved through human resource management (HRM) strategies that promote inclusive hiring practices (e.g., by emphasizing fit with a diverse clientele). The results from a laboratory experiment were consistent with our predictions: Local recruiters preferred skilled local applicants over skilled immi…
Cultural Identity in Everyday Interactions at Work: Highly Skilled Female Russian Professionals in Finland
2013
The dominant research strands into social interaction in culturally diverse workplaces have focused on issues of organizational efficiency and discrimination, and they have treated cultural identity as static, monolithic, and universally shared. This study aims to problematize this view. It is argued that our understanding of cultural workplace diversity could be extended through the integration of interpretive and critical interpersonal communication theorizing on cultural identity as dynamic and processual, constructed between and among people in everyday workplace interactions and in relation to larger social, political, and historical forces. This argument is illustrated by an analysis …

El consumo de drogas en los adolescentes inmigrantes: implicaciones para la prevención
2009
El fuerte crecimiento de la inmigración está cambiando la confi guración de la sociedad española en un modo muy notable. El número de alumnos extranjeros en los centros educativos ha ido aumentando de forma continuada en la última década. Esa nueva realidad determina que toda una serie de conocimientos, relativamente bien establecidos sobre el consumo de drogas de los adolescentes, deban ser revisados para establecer pautas adecuadas para el desarrollo de programas de prevención adaptados a esta nueva realidad. En este trabajo, utilizando una muestra de 2.260 estudiantes de 1er y 2º ciclo de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (E.S.O.), se analizan los patrones de consumo de los adolescentes i…
