“…Our core results support the theoretical and empirical findings on the negative relationship between social inclusion and inequality (i.e. better social inclusion reduces income inequality) from Therborn (1999), Bhagwati and Hamada (1974), Gingrich and Lightman (2015), Reitz et al (2017) and Simionescu (2018) while Beckfield (2006) shows that the relationship is positive (i.e. better social inclusion increases income inequality).…”

“…Similarly, Beckfield (2006) provides a detailed analysis about the link between regional integration and income inequality, with a specific focus on political and economic integration in EU, and asserts that it raises income inequality without distinguishing different types of migrants. Reitz et al (2017) specifically compares the social experiences of Muslim minorities in Canada. Their analysis is based on three dimensions: France, Qu ebec, and English Canada.…”

This study examines the relationship between social inclusions of migrant and income inequality. Both positive and negative impacts of social inclusion on income inequality have been observed in the previous literature. This study specifically considers two types of migration flow: migration flow from EU and migration flow from non‐EU. The aim of this article is twofold: 1) is there a strong association between social inclusion of migrants and income inequality, 2) is there any different impact of social inclusion of two types of migrants (EU vs non‐EU)? Using data from 33 mainly European countries over the period 2003‐2015 and controlling for savings rate, arable land rate and age‐dependency ratio, our results indicate that there is a significant negative relationship between social inclusion and income inequality. In particular, we find that social inclusion from non‐EU migrants significantly reduces income inequality compare with EU migrants.

“…Exclusionary practices described in this study relate to ageist, sexist, and racist discourses, beliefs, and practices which create pathways of vulnerability for Muslim immigrant older adults. Muslims in the West increasingly experience discrimination and marginalization (Pe‐Pua, Gendara, Katz, & O’Conner, ; Reitza, Simonb, & Laxerc, ; Senzai & Bazian, ). In Canada, incidents of racism are high amongst Muslim, Arab, South Asian and Black visible minorities (Gaudet, ).…”

The increase in global migration means more immigrants are ageing in host countries with unique experiences and needs. Muslim immigrants in Canada are from diverse ethnocultural communities and experience unmet health and social needs in older age. A community‐based participatory research project was conducted in Alberta, Canada, in 2017–2018 to understand the experiences and needs of healthy ageing in this population. A community advisory committee participated in all phases of the research project including initial framing of the research focus, recruitment, data collection and data analysis. In total, 67 older adults and stakeholders from South Asian, Arab and African Muslim communities participated in one of 23 individual interviews or seven focus group discussions over a 1‐year period. Participants were asked about their experiences of growing old in Canada, unmet health and social needs, and community perspectives on healthy ageing. All data were audio‐taped and transcribed verbatim. Interpreters were used for non‐English speaking participants. Data were thematically analysed with a focus on social isolation and loneliness. Using an exclusion lens two major themes were identified: (a) intersections of exclusion: ageism, sexism, racism, and; (b) strategies for inclusion: local, national, transnational. Findings highlight both the vulnerability of Muslim immigrant older adults and their capacity for agency. The study findings point to the intersecting influences of exclusionary practices on social isolation and loneliness in immigrant older adults and the need to incorporate an exclusion lens in developing social policies and programs for healthy ageing.

A motivational framework of acculturation

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A key distinction in motivational processes is between motivations and the means for pursuing motivations. Despite being a motivated process, existing models of acculturation do not make this distinction, neither empirically nor theoretically. A motivational framework that is informed by theories of goal constructs to understand the process of acculturation is proposed. This model is tested in two distinct samples comprising immigrants from the former Soviet Union to Israel (N = 239) as well as immigrants from Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh to Britain (N = 236). Results revealed that the motivation to preserve one's heritage culture and the motivation to adopt one's host culture were each uniquely associated with the respective means for doing so. Furthermore, outcomes in acculturation were determined by the match between acculturation motivations and acculturation means. These findings demonstrate the theoretical and practical implications of analyzing the process of acculturation using a motivational framework.
