“…At the same time, studies on migrant adaptation processes have indicated that differences between migrants and non-migrants diminish over time (Gordon 1964;Rumbaut 2015). Immigrants and their descendants will gradually incorporate the dominant norms of the host country and adapt to its institutional setting.…”

Research on majority populations throughout Europe showed strong attachment and exchange of support between parents and their adult children. Studies on migrant families are limited yet needed in light of the increasing share of older people of migrant origin in European populations. One of the main sources of intergenerational support and care is via coresidence of (older) parents and their adult children. In this paper, we first analyse whether co-residence of adult children with their parents differs between migrants and non-migrants across Europe. Second, we assess the potentially differential effect of resources and socio-demographic factors among the migrant and non-migrant population as well as migrant-specific factors (migrant generation and region of origin). Data on five countries, with different migration patterns and histories, covered in the first wave of the Generation and Gender Survey are used (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands). Results show that levels of adult child-parent co-residence do not vary significantly by migrant status but do differ across Europe. Furthermore, we find that socio-demographic factors are important and have a similar association with parent-child coresidence for migrants and non-migrants. Our study does, however, suggest differences in co-residence by region of origin and migrant generation.

“…Particularly as far as Vignette B -portraying an elderly mother living in the same country as her children -is concerned, the majority of respondents associated the primary responsibility to be on the daughter. In this sense, the multivariate results indicate that respondents who either were born in Italy or migrated before age 6 are considerably more likely to hold gender-neutral views on the division of informal care work, thus highlighting the relevance of an acculturation pattern on this dimension (see also Maxwell, 2010;Merz et al, 2009;Rumbault, 2015). Next, once more we found evidence of the interplay of gender and religion: being both a woman and religious is associated with a stronger adherence to more traditional non-gender neutral division of care work within the enlarged family.…”

The migrant population in Southern European countries is aging. In the next future, long-term care needs of immigrant individuals will be a major issue in the evolution of social policies in these countries. In this context, it becomes important to examine what are the norms of filial obligations that govern the exchange of social support within migrant families. The study focuses on solidarity norms and support expectations among Mahgrebine immigrants living in Italy. It is shown that: i. intergenerational co-residence is seen as the best strategy to cope with the care need of elderly parents; ii. only a minority of respondents, especially those born in Italy or arrived before age 6, think that providing economic support or hiring a professional carer is a good solution. The importance of cultural and religious motivations at the basis of norms of filial obligations was explicitly, particularly as far as cohabitation is concerned. The majority of respondents held a gender-neutral view with respect to the sharing of responsibilities, although some gendered divisions emerged. Respondents who either were born in Italy or migrated before age six are considerably more likely to hold gender-neutral views on the division of informal care work.

“…Participants attempted to acculturate into white-centered spaces to feel included and accepted at predominately white schools and communities. That said, adolescents made conscious efforts to integrate into these spaces through extracurricular activities, clothing styles, and interracial friendships (e.g., Durkee et al, 2019;Rumbaut, 2015). However, only some adolescents were successfully welcomed in whitecentered spaces.…”

“We Understand You Hate Us”: Latinx Immigrant‐Origin Adolescents' Coping with Social Exclusion

Little research has focused on how adolescents are faring with the national context of exclusion. Growing evidence suggests that exclusionary efforts signal messages of who belongs (and who does not) in the United States. This study draws from a risk and resilience model to understand how Latinx immigrant‐origin adolescents react and adapt to social exclusion. A total of 41 adolescents between the ages of 13 to 24 (Mage = 18.85) completed a semistructured interview. Results revealed participants' use of avoidant and active coping strategies to deal with exclusion. There was a shift in coping responses across developmental stages. Future research and recommendations are provided to address systems that need to be dismantled to foster a sense of belonging for adolescents.
