“…The children of migrants are an increasingly important part of European societies but their integration continues to be problematic (Crul, Schneider, and Lelie 2012;Alba and Foner 2015). Immigrants' children occupy a socio-cultural middle ground between the mainstream culture in the country of origin and that in the country of arrival (Holland and de Valk 2013;Gabrielli and Impicciatore 2020). In many cases, they grow up in so-called low status groups (Algan et al 2010;Alba and Holdaway 2013) that can negatively influence their life trajectories.…”

The goal of successfully incorporating ethnic minorities represents a decisive challenge for modern societies. However, migratory background continues to negatively affect the life trajectories of migrants' descendants. 'Hard' and 'soft' barriers determine longterm inequality gaps and low intergenerational social mobility in both longstanding and more recent European immigration countries. This special issue complements the sparse findings on education, labour market outcome and wellbeing relating to immigrant offspring by providing original insight in order to individuate strategies for removing the obstacles that the descendants of migrants face. In-depth analyses have been performed for specific Southern European contexts in order to explore the specific inequality patterns that are emerging in these more recent and unexplored immigration contexts. The main findings suggest that the lower academic performances of immigrants' descendants can be raised through language-support programmes, mentoring programmes, positive role and disciplinary climate, extra-scholastic activities and parental involvement. Equality opportunities in education should support school-to-work transitions and better allocate the underutilised human capital reserves of migrants' descendants. Conversely, long-lasting penalties in educational careers and integration processes may arise when children are physically separated from their parents because of delayed family reunification.

“…Por el contrario, hijos de italianos en Francia se van más tarde que los autóctonos (Impicciatore, 2015); algo lógico teniendo en cuenta que Italia se caracteriza, como otros países mediterráneos, por edades de emancipación más tardías (Lennartz, 2016). En general, parece que los jóvenes originarios del sur y este de Asia y África subsahariana muestran una mayor influencia de su herencia cultural que otros grupos que llegan a Europa (Giuseppe y Impicciatore, 2020). No obstante, los resultados no son siempre coincidentes.…”

“…Las diferencias parecen vincularse a factores culturales y a la propia experiencia de la migración. Lo que también explicaría la mayor similitud con los autóctonos en siguientes generaciones (Impicciatore, 2015;Narciso, 2018;Liu, 2019;Giuseppe y Impicciatore, 2020) El valor que dan a la independencia económica temprana se explicaría por su socialización en el país de origen, en una situación de clase donde han vivido y experimentado pobreza y escasez, lo que les plantea una obligación de adaptarse a situaciones de precariedad. La experiencia de la migración y de "empezar de cero", les facilitan emocionalmente embarcarse en una emancipación propia, pero también refuerza esos esquemas perceptivos y valorativos propios del principio de escasez.…”

Diferentes investigaciones muestran cómo la conducta residencial y la emancipación de los jóvenes se ve afectada por factores culturales y las trayectorias migratorias previas. Nuestro objetivo es analizar las diferencias en los discursos sobre la emancipación entre jóvenes autóctonos e inmigrantes en España. Para ello nos apoyamos en datos de dos encuestas diferentes, y especialmente en una investigación cualitativa a partir de entrevistas y grupos de discusión. Los resultados muestran que la emancipación de los inmigrantes es más temprana, y esta decisión es naturalizada por los mismos quienes perciben como acomodaticia la emancipación tardía de los españoles. Al mismo tiempo es fuente de autorrealización y orgullo en tanto que muestra su independencia y capacidad. Cultura y trayectorias residenciales son elementos centrales de este comportamiento y deben ser introducidas como contrapeso a los factores económicos y de seguridad vital, que en este caso no son tan relevantes.

Multiple Origins and Multiple Destinations: The Fertility of Immigrant Women in Europe

Studies on immigrant fertility typically compare immigrants and natives or different migrant groups at the same destination but rarely immigrants of the same origins in different destination countries. In this paper, we look at immigrants from multiple origins in multiple destination countries simultaneously, using the European Union Labour Force Survey to compare female immigrants from ten areas of origin in eight destination countries in Europe. Our results indicate a strong origin effect. However, they also suggest that when women migrate to a context where the fertility norm is different from that in their origin, they adjust their behaviors accordingly, which indicates that policy and normative context play an important role in shaping migrants’ fertility. From a policy perspective, this is important because it suggests that the fertility of immigrant women, who are exposed to different norms and normative contexts, can resemble that of native women at the destination. Our findings contribute to strengthening the role of destination in shaping fertility behavior and highlighting the importance of looking at all the possible combinations of immigrants coming from and going to different fertility regimes.
