“…Causes and consequences of migration have been studied by a large variety of researchers from social, economic, demographic, politic, ethnic or cultural perspectives (Mihi-Ramírez, 2013;Lodewyckx et al, 2010;Čajka et al, 2014;Bilan, 2014). Th e eff ects of migration were studied from the theoretical and empirical points of view.…”

Abstract. Th e aim of this research is to identify some macroeconomic determinants for permanent emigration from Romania, in order to alleviate the negative consequences of this phenomenon in the origin country of the emigrates. For identifying the most relevant macroeconomic factors explaining the growth in the number of emigrants, the stochastic search variable selection was applied for various acceptance probabilities. Low increases in real earnings and the growth in poverty headcount ratio at $3.10 a day encouraged Romanian people to permanently leave the country in the period 1991-2014 in order to improve their life conditions. Moreover, the taxes on income, profi t and capital also created considerable pressure. On the other hand, unemployment was not felt as a crucial problem for emigrants. Th e economic policies should focus on the solutions aimed specifi cally at diminishing poverty.

“…We concentrate on partner choice and marriage processes in Turkish, Moroccan, Tunisian, Algerian, Punjabi Sikh, Pakistani and Albanian populations in Belgium. 2 In these populations, about half of the couples prefer a partner of the so-called ‘country of origin’ over a co-national in the immigration country of a person's (grand)parents (Yalçin et al , 2006; Lodewyckx et al , 2006; Heyse et al , 2007; Casier et al , 2006; Descheemaeker et al , 2009). This article is based upon two complementary but independently executed qualitative studies, one on partner choice processes of women of Turkish, Moroccan, Tunisian, Algerian, Pakistani and Albanian descent (Casier et al , 2006), and one on partner choice processes of men of Moroccan, Punjabi Sikh and Turkish descent in Belgium (Descheemaeker et al , 2009) which the authors of this article conducted.…”

“…Contemporary studies of marriage and kinship marriages in anthropology and sociology are often still seeking to unveil the ‘transition from arranged marriage to love-match-marriages’ (Hart, 2007), understood as an evolution of social structures from a primitive to a civilized form (Kuper, 2008). Examples include changes in the practice of bride price, in the tradition of ‘patrilocality’ (where the bride normally moves to the family of the husband following the marriage), and in the discretionary power of the spouses to influence the arrangement process (Timmerman, 2006; Charsley and Shaw, 2006). These detailed ethnographic accounts of social change offer an important corrective to the general view that arranged marriages are ‘primitive and resistant to change’.…”

The ongoing popularity in some second and third generation migrants in Western Europe of marrying a partner from the countries of origin of their (grand)parents is considered to be problematic for micro and macro level societal integration of some migrant populations. Partner choice and marriage practices in migrant communities are problematized in public, media and political discourses by discriminating them from marriage practices in the 'native' population on the basis of three related dichotomies: (1) agency versus structure, (2) us versus them and (3) romantic versus instrumental marriage intentions dichotomies. By means of in-depth qualitative research methodologies on the partner choice processes of women and men of Turkish, Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, Punjabi Sikh, Pakistani and Albanian descent in Belgium and an intersectional theoretical approach, this article aims to deconstruct popular and simplifying dichotomous representations of partner choice processes in these migrant populations. Our study reveals how religious, gender and social class boundaries are stretched to meet personal/individual desires and preferences. Individuals do experience social restrictions when it concerns social group boundaries and the potential partners that they can look for. At the same time individuals are never fully determined by their social environment, they creatively develop strategies to by-pass certain restrictions and to some extent are able to meet their personal needs while being sensitive to the desires of their social environment.

“…Successful integration of third-country nationals might help to structure a legal environment where these groups might co-exist with the rest of the population and contribute to the well-being and social welfare. Such factors as free access to employment, education, public security might encourage those migrants to interact with the local societies and thus contribute to the overall development (Lodewyckx et al, 2010;Androniceanu, 2015). The MIPEX index mentioned in the Introduction of this paper is often used as measure of integration policies for a sample of more than thirty countries.…”

This paper discusses the labour market inclusion of international protection applicants and beneficiaries with a special focus on the Czech Republic. The issue of letting the asylum seekers and refuges to enter the labour markets of the Members States freely and without obstacles constitutes a hot-debated topic in the EU and differs from country to country. One can say that this topic was taken out of context and exploited during the recent Brexit campaign that resulted in an unexpected "leave" vote that shocked the United Kingdom. The migration card was played mainly for political reasons. However, most people forget that almost 3 million people born in the UK currently reside in other EU countries (which is about the same amount as the number of people born in other EU countries living in the UK. The Czech Republic is a different story altogether. It represents a typical immigration country with all its characteristic features, yet the nature of the incoming migration. The analysis of the provisions and regimes in the Czech Republic shows that the country (similar to most of the EU Member States) is not very attractive for asylum seekers in general but those international protection applicants who chose to go there, do this on purpose as a part of their carefully planned migration strategy. The structure and the mix of asylum seekers in the Czech Republic seem to prove this postulate.
