“…Social cohesion and capacity of local emigrants is investigated in various scientifical articles, analysing practices, diverse processes and there many studies on social cohesion, but in non-European, refugee and local contexts remain limited (Ozcurumez and Hoxha, 2020).…”

Migration has been a part of human experience from the earliest days of civilization. Today cross-border movements are characterized by their diversity, as there are no typical characteristics, their legal statuses, and their circumstances and prospects. The millions of refugees worldwide live in a high - income countries, but the majority still are hosted by the low – and middle-income countries. Thought more than 90% of migrations in the world have taken place for employment purpose, youth including students chooses migration also for educational, administrative, social and cultural aspects. The European Union (EU) faces challenges that effects its persistence, including the revival of national populism in many EU members and studies have shown that individuals with immigration histories identify less strongly with Europe, such aspect must be taken into account, because the citizens and their identities are vital for European cohesion. Successful integration benefits both migrants and destination societies, but there are various triggers, which can effect affect the relations toward emigrants, like the pandemic or convivial attitude toward emigrants. Psychological and socio-cultural adaption of refugees are strongly influenced economic concerns, pre-migration expectations, religion and other factors. Settlement in a new country can be challenging process for refugees in general, and for unaccompanied minors in particular. Based on the current situation, a project on “Strengthening social cohesion and capacity of local, refugee and migrant young people by creating STEM/STEAM areas" funded by the Erasmus+ programme was developed with 6 partner institutions from Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Lithuania. The activities and workshops carried out during the project with the participants inspired the development of a research study. This article aims to research the aspects and possibilities to strengthen the social cohesion and capacity of local refugee and migrant young people. Quantitative research included respondents by country of origin from Asia: Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Afghanistan. Analysing the results the hypotheses were tested assuming the differences between opinion of men and women and between respondents grouped by age. The findings of this research can be used to minimize factors that undermine favourable levels of psychological and socio-cultural adaptation and promote factors that facilitate strengthening social cohesion and capacity of local, refugee and migrant young people.

Financial stability issues, arising during the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, have affected the problems of financial market instability: interest rates of commercial banks started to rise, inflation increased, affecting consumer solvency issues, the need for bank financing and investment opportunities decreased, part of the staff was lost, labour supply decreased, productivity declined due to emerging economic stabilisation problems. Financial stability cannot be achieved without effective operation of the financial system, which is explored in this article, based on the evaluation models of financial stability. These models illustrate the integral relationship between the impact of individual factors and the effects on the interest rates of commercial institutions, the impact of interest rates on household financing, and the assessment of the interaction between interest rates and inflation. The assessment of financial stability takes into account the performance, liquidity, solvency, and evaluation of adverse conditions of banks as financial institutions.

“…Integration is also context-specific, with scholars identifying significant variation in experience at local and national levels (Ndofor-Tah et al, 2019;Careja, 2019;Gebhardt, 2016). Recent research emphasizes the importance of assessing forced migrant integration processes within and between different countries (Ozcurumez et al, 2020) in order to understand how context influences integration. Given the complexities of integration processes, it is useful to apply an analytical framework reflecting the multi-dimensional and multidirectional character of integration.…”

This paper is the first to use empirical evidence to directly examine the relationship between sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and multi-dimensional processes of integration of forced migrant SGBV survivors. While it is acknowledged that forced migrants are subjected to a continuum of violence, including SGBV, during the refugee journey, little is known about the long-term impact of SGBV and how it might be mitigated. Our paper, drawing on empirical evidence from 255 interviews with migrants and stakeholders in Australia, the UK, Sweden and Turkey, documented in detail the complex interactions between SGBV and integration using the Indicators of Integration framework. By bringing together the literature on the continuum of violence, SGBV and the Indicators of Integration framework, we identify, on the one hand, the impact of SGBV on integration, and, on the other, how the indicators framework can be used to identify protective and risk factors for forced migrant survivors.
