“…These integrate housing and services to enhance social and economic well-being (Cohen et al, 2004). Other programmes have moved families into more prosperous neighbourhoods where respondents report psychological improvements such as an increased sense of self efficacy (Rosenbaum et al, 2002). Such services are yet to be widely developed in the UK although there is some evidence that provision such as Shelter's 'Homeless to Home' can help to sustain tenancies (Jones et al, 2002).…”

“…Studies employing this approach have reached diametrically opposed conclusions, even within the same national context (cf. Rosenbaum et al, 2002;Briggs, 1997Briggs, , 1998Oreopolis, 2003;Edin et al, 2003;Aslund and Fredricksson, 2005). …”

This paper contributes to the literature on obtaining unbiased estimates of neighborhood effects, explored in the context of a centralized social welfare state. We employ a longitudinal database comprised of all working age adults in metropolitan Sweden 1991-1999 to investigate the degree to which neighborhood income mix relates to subsequent labor incomes of adults and how this relationship varies by gender and employment status. We control for unobserved, time-invariant individual characteristics by estimating a first-difference equation of changes in average incomes between the 1991-1995 and 1996-1999 periods. We further control for unobserved time varying characteristics through an analysis of non-movers. These methods substantially reduce the magnitude of the apparent effect of neighborhood shares of low-, middle-and high-income males. Nevertheless, statistically and substantively significant neighborhood effects persist, though relationships are nonlinear and vary by gender and employment status. Males who are not fully employed appear most sensitive to neighborhood economic mix in all contexts.

“…Compared to the other two groups in the research, participants belonging to the experimental group indeed turned out to have a higher sense of self-efficacy (Rosenbaum et al 2002). Moreover, they came to live in better dwellings and safer neighbourhoods, but there is less evidence for the positive effects on their labour market position and level of education (Orr et al 2003).…”

Combating residential segregation of ethnic minorities in European cities

This introduction paper to the special issue on combating residential segregation provides an overview of desegregation policies in European countries. Housing diversification is the main desegregation measure in most countries, while housing allocation measures are also implemented in several European cities to disperse ethnic minorities. A comparison of the five countries covered in this special issue (UK, Finland, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands) reveals that each of them is characterised by a huge gap between an ambitious anti-segregation policy rhetoric and the limited effectiveness of desegregation policies. Housing policies have a limited effect on ethnic concentration, not only because they often contradict each other, but also because they fail to address the main causes of segregation.
