“…Typically, migrants from Bangladesh reside in well‐defined areas where there is a notable concentration of fellow compatriots. In Rome, the Bangladeshi community is primarily settled in the eastern quadrant of the city, which encompasses the less affluent neighbourhoods (Montanari, 2018; Natale et al, 2021).…”

This research studies the residential mobility of Italians and foreigners in Rome from 2002 to 2019. We examine the differences in residential mobility patterns for (1) Italians and foreigners, (2) foreign migrants by selected country of origin, and (3) the effect of intra‐urban mobility on residential segregation. Log‐linear models and segregation indexes are used to analyze unpublished microdata on residential mobility by neighbourhood from the population register of Rome. Results show that foreigners are more mobile than Italians and more prone to move outside the area where they live, but with an increasing process of remaining in their current locations over time. Also, similarities and differences emerge by country of origin. Finally, we find residential mobility has increased the spatial concentration and clustering of foreigners in Rome, whilst reducing the dissimilarity from Italians at the same time.

“…However, over time, many began to make money and hire employees from their own country. Usually, once the employees managed to put together a bit of money, they, in turn, would ask the community for a loan, in order to set up their own business (often mini-marts, corner shops, or market stands), exploiting the labor of recently arrived fellow nationals [31].…”

“…Through their entrepreneurial spirit, Bangladeshi migrants have achieved what few other migrant communities could in Italy: they have managed to take over a niche in Italy's economy, attracting Bangladeshi and Italian customers alike to their mini-marts, providing long opening hours, all year round [31]. The overall relevance and prominence of the community are testified by the flow of remittances generated by Bangladeshis in Italy.…”

Migration and migrants’ integration are prominent aspects of globalized contemporary society. In this respect, a key question appears of how to foster the full participation of migrants in the host society. This article investigates the role of migrant entrepreneurship as a vector of integration. Based on case-study research conducted among Bangladeshi vendors in Nuovo Mercato Esquilino in Rome, the article highlights the potentialities in terms of social and market innovation of such activity. However, it points out that this way forward cannot be considered a generalized solution, relying on strong social and cultural capital that not all migrants, in particular asylum seekers, may have. Thus, it proposes a normative adjustment to empowering migrants and facilitating their endeavors.

This paper discusses the issue of integration abroad and remittances to home by the Bangladeshi emigrant workers in Europe, by using the case of the Bangladeshi community residing in Italy as an empirical study. The research was conducted employing qualitative and quantitative surveys related to the perceived quality of life and integration by Bangladeshi workers living in Italy, with a focus on the economic and work aspects of their permanence. Data analysis of the data collected shows that, besides the level of salary, remittances are well predicted by whether or not the immigrant has previously immigrated in another European country. It seems to confirm the theory of learning by the migrant, according to which migration is a process through which the low-skilled migrant acquires skills that improve their future economic success. Based on his research, the author suggests that government policies that are being pursued by the Bangladeshi government, aimed at obtaining reserves of foreign currencies by promoting the emigration of the unskilled labour force, would benefit by encouraging the emigration of the workers who are more likely to create small businesses in the hosting country abroad . It would be done by promoting repeated or cyclical migration, as opposed to one-time relocation of the workforce abroad.
