“…Nevertheless, there are still countries that hold on to the relatively privileged position of citizen sponsors with migrant family members, such as France and Germany where income and housing requirements do not apply to citizens. This privileged access of citizens to family migration is especially strong in those countries with a strong family ideology, such as Italy and Portugal, although restrictive trends have also been noted (Cook 2018;Parisi 2015;Van den Broucke, Vanduynslager, and De Cuyper 2016).…”

The mission of the Economic and Social Research Institute is to advance evidencebased policymaking that supports economic sustainability and social progress in Ireland. ESRI researchers apply the highest standards of academic excellence to challenges facing policymakers, focusing on 12 areas of critical importance to 21 st Century Ireland. The Institute was founded in 1960 by a group of senior civil servants led by Dr T.K. Whitaker, who identified the need for independent and in-depth research analysis to provide a robust evidence base for policymaking in Ireland. Since then, the Institute has remained committed to independent research and its work is free of any expressed ideology or political position. The Institute publishes all research reaching the appropriate academic standard, irrespective of its findings or who funds the research. The quality of its research output is guaranteed by a rigorous peer review process. ESRI researchers are experts in their fields and are committed to producing work that meets the highest academic standards and practices. The work of the Institute is disseminated widely in books, journal articles and reports. ESRI publications are available to download, free of charge, from its website. Additionally, ESRI staff communicate research findings at regular conferences and seminars. The ESRI is a company limited by guarantee, answerable to its members and governed by a Council, comprising 14 members who represent a cross-section of ESRI members from academia, civil services, state agencies, businesses and civil society. The Institute receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to support the scientific and public interest elements of the Institute's activities; the grant accounted for an average of 30 per cent of the Institute's income over the lifetime of the last Research Strategy. The remaining funding comes from research programmes supported by government departments and agencies, public bodies and competitive research programmes.

“…The theme of family migration has also developed over the years in relation to European family migration policies and national dynamics focusing mainly on the themes of family reunification and on the various forms of integration (Cook, 2018; Paparusso, Fokkema, & Ambrosetti, 2017). The migrant family is seen in its path of adaptation to the new context with a redefinition of its roles and parenting skills and in the attribution of new symbolic meanings to everyday life experienced away from home countries (Migliorini et al, 2016; Rania et al, 2015; Rania, Migliorini, & Rebora, 2018; Rania et al, 2019).…”

Purpose: The objective of this research is to investigate the perception that migrant families and social workers have of their relationship and of the services offered and received in the reception path. Method: The qualitative research involved thirty parents with semi-structured family interviews and their twelve reference social workers, with focus group. The collected materials were transcribed verbatim and analysed through the grounded theory, using the NVivo software. Results: Results highlighted strengths, critical issues and challenges, some shared between social workers and families, like the sense of mutual trust and the perception of abandonment and loneliness. Others were expressed only by social workers as a greater attention to families, or by families as the possibility of social-health services. Conclusion: Many of the practical implications have been discussed such as the supervision of social workers, the widespread hospitality and the development of skills of social workers but also of families for social and work integration.
