Italiennes et Espagnoles en Suisse à l'approche de l'âge de la retraite

Abstract

Italianas y Españolas en Suiza próximas a la edad de la jubilación. Rosita Fibbi, Claudio Bolzman, Marie Vial. A partir de los resultados de un estudio sobre los italianos y españoles residentes en Suiza y próximos a la edad de la jubilación, los autores tratan de la condición de la mujer inmigrante. El artículo analiza los modelos de incorporación de las mujeres inmigrantes en el mercado laboral, la manera como esta actividad extra-familiar es evaluada y resentida en términos de estado de salud, asi como su impacto sobre los roles familiares. El artículo aborda también las caracteristicas de la red de sociabilidad construida por las mujeres después de muchos anos de permanencia en la sociedad de inmigración y, finalmente, sus proyectos en cuanto al futuro lugar de residencia una vez alcanzada la edad de la jubilación.

The latter also experience more precarious living conditions in Switzerland (Fibbi et al, 2010). This raises the question of whether ambivalence toward return emerges more easily among groups occupying positions that are structurally fragile, though not too fragile.…”

Risk Factors of Labor-Market Insertion for Children of Immigrants in Switzerland

“…For example, the families of immigrants from Mexico to the United States experienced considerable improvements through three generations, narrowing the educational and income gaps between themselves and native-born whites (Perlman and Waldinger 1997). In a similar way, in Switzerland, second-generation residents of Italian and Spanish descent generally experience less difficulty in getting a job than either their parents or their native counterparts do (Fibbi et al 1999;Bolzman et al 2003).…”

Why Do Transnationally Mobile People Volunteer? Insights From a Swiss Case Study

“…Only about one-third of these retired migrants return; another third commute between their countries of origin and destination, and a final third do not return at all (Fibbi, Bolzman, and Vial 1999). Valeria describes this development, and its influence on the association's work today, very precisely:…”
