“…However, there is a dispersed pattern of ethnic businesses location which does not fulfil the main condition of their concentration as However, the crisis also brought opportunities, in particular an improvement in the access to property with the drop of leasing and other costs and the decline of the traditional small commerce. This opens possibilities for immigrants to access low cost convenience stores through the vacancy chain (Güell, 2018).…”

Introducción: España se convirtió en un país receptor de inmigrantes económicos en los años 90 del pasado siglo. Los trabajadores extranjeros atraídos por la bonanza económica del país, accedían como asalariados al mercado de trabajo, presentando una tasa de autoempleo inferior a la de los españoles. La crisis económica incrementó los negocios de immigrantes, motivando la adopción de nuevas estrategias y confirmando la resiliencia de estos empresarios.Método: Este trabajo ofrece una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre economía étnica en España, mediante el análisis de treinta y nueve artículos.Resultados: Los resultados muestran que los empresarios étnicos: (1) responden a dos perfiles, necesidad y oportunidad; (2) regentan negocios más orientados al mercado abierto que al nicho étnico; (3) se apoyan grandemente en prácticas transnacionales.Discusión y/o Conclusión: Nuestro análisis muestra que el comportamiento de los empresarios immigrantes en España no se ajusta completamente a los marcos teóricos clásicos y que, en general, existe una cierta superposición o incluso podría estar surgiendo un nuevo modelo. De hecho, la crisis ha traído cambios a las empresas de los immigrantes, incrementando su vulnerabilidad y generando una mayor rotación. Pero también ha traído oportunidades, innovación, nuevos nichos, enfoque transnacional y ha aumentado la facilidad de acceso a la propiedad.

Las mujeres migrantes y musulmanas se enfrentan a una imagen estereotipada de amas de casa y sujetas pasivas en sus procesos de incorporación a la sociedad receptora, que asume su invisibilidad en el mercado laboral como un atributo intrínseco y “natural”. El presente artículo pretende cuestionar esta imagen y arrojar luz sobre los procesos de agencia en el ámbito de la economía productiva y reproductiva del colectivo de mujeres de origen pakistaní en Barcelona. En particular, se examinan los obstáculos de carácter estructural y cultural que las mujeres experimentan para acceder al mercado laboral, así como las estrategias de agencia y empoderamiento que despliegan para sortearlos. A partir de dos investigaciones recientes centradas en este colectivo, los resultados muestran cómo la agencia se encuentra imbricada (“embedded”) (Khurshid, 2015) en los constreñimientos estructurales de la sociedad receptora, así como en el sistema de valores e ideologías de género patriarcales de la comunidad pakistaní.

“…Currently, 99.352 people of Pakistani origin are residing in Spain, of which 56% live in Catalonia, especially in Barcelona and its surroundings [ 1 , 2 ]. The group of women in this community are a minority (29%) [ 3 ] who mostly arrive in Catalonia due to the family reunification procedures predominantly sponsored by the male members of the family (husband or father) [ 4 ]. Due to cultural and linguistic barriers and difficulties in accessing the job market, immigrant women of Pakistani origin are currently one of the most invisible ethnic/racial groups in Catalonia [ 4 ].…”

(1) Introduction: Dietary and lifestyle changes along with the cultural and linguistic barriers convert the immigrant women of Pakistani origin into a risk population for developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The objective of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of a culturally and linguistically appropriate food education program based on the Transtheoretical model that will allow the participants to become ambassadors of healthy eating habits for their community. (2) Methods: In this community-based RCT, any Pakistani adult woman with residence in Badalona and Santa Coloma de Gramenet will be able to participate. We will use a mixed model approach. From the quantitative perspective, the participants will answer a survey accompanied by a multilingual nutritionist that will help us to determine the sociodemographic, clinical, anthropometric, dietary data, and quality of life. From the qualitative perspective, we will conduct 6 focus groups (3 in each municipality) to determine the cultural and religious beliefs with the aim of tailoring the intervention to the target population. Hereafter, the participants from one municipality will randomly become the control group and from the other, the intervention group. The intervention group will participate in 10 weekly food education sessions based on the Transtheoretical model while the control group will receive 3 general educational sessions on food and health. During the evaluation procedure, we will assess the impact of the intervention considering the outcomes of the study. (3) Discussion: This study will establish intercultural bridges between health professionals and the Pakistani community living in Catalonia. The project will open the door for future interventions, and it will be sustainable in time as the participating women will become health promotion agents for the rest of their community.
