“…As the other articles in this collection suggest, the integration challenges faced by Afghan immigrants are not unique to Canada or even to other groups of refugees (see for example: Stempel and Alemi 2020;Gladwell et al 2020). However, the time specificity and context of Afghan refugees, the bulk of whom arrived post-911 likely pose additional integration challenges that refugees from Vietnam perhaps did not (see Gisselquist 2020). As Hou (2020) points out, the Vietnamese refugee movement benefited from the creation of the Private Sponsorship Program, which allowed Canadians to actively take part in welcoming of this new group of immigrants.…”

Past research suggests that Afghan immigrants and their children face challenges in settlement stemming from the impact of displacement, language barriers, poor health, limited education, limited knowledge of or access to services, and discrimination. Using data from Canada's 2016 Census, this paper adds to these findings pointing to poor labour force outcomes for Afghan immigrants as compared to other immigrants. Sons of Afghan immigrants fare better than their fathers, but no better than other immigrant men in employment probabilities, but those who are working generally have higher earnings. The daughters of Afghan immigrants fare much better both in terms of employment probabilities and earnings as compared to other immigrant women. Home ownership probabilities for Afghan households are low.

“…(BVD), is seen as too close to the Socialist Vietnam Republic and is therefore not recognised by Vietnamese refugees. 27 This suggests that despite sharing a sense of ethnicity, Vietnamese from different migration streams do not necessarily exhibit social cohesion or 'groupness' in their social interactions (Gisselquist 2020;.…”

“…2 In this paper, we therefore ask: How important is this coincidence of positive contexts across different dimensions of reception? While we focus on local-and national-level factors shaping the integration of forced as well as voluntary migrants, the structured comparisons across this special issue collectively offer insights into refugee integration that overcome methodological nationalism (Gisselquist 2020).…”

“…Vietnamese refugees arrived in West Germany with tremendous government and public support to integrate them. Here, we consider governance institutions (Gisselquist 2020) that include non-governmental actors. Refugees also entered a strong West German economy, albeit with durable rising unemployment.…”

“…We highlight intergenerational comparisons to provide additional evidence of factors that shape integration. Where appropriate, we contrast the experiences of Vietnamese with those of other migrant groups as well as with German natives, gesturing toward the horizontal inequality (Gisselquist 2020) that characterises the experiences of different groups in the same country. We then conclude with what our comparative study suggests about the forces shaping integration and inequality.…”

Scholars have long recognised the importance of contexts of reception in shaping the integration of immigrants and refugees in a host society. Studies of refugees, in particular, have examined groups where the different dimensions of reception (government, labour market, and ethnic community) have been largely positive. How important is this merging of positive contexts across dimensions of reception? We address this through a comparative study of Vietnamese refugees to West Germany beginning in 1979 and contract workers to East Germany beginning in 1980. These two migration streams converged when Germany reunified in 1990. Drawing on mixed qualitative methods, this paper offers a strategic case for understanding factors that shape the resettlement experiences of Vietnamese refugees and immigrants in Germany. By comparing two migration streams from the same country of origin, but with different backgrounds and contexts of reception, we suggest that ethnic networks may, in time, offset the disadvantages of a negative government reception.
