Migrant political participation is a central challenge to our democracy, especially at a time when migration is so controversial. This study examines level, forms and predictors of migrant political engagement in Italy, a country where 10% of the total population is foreign-born. We measure migrant political participation on the basis of data provided by the Survey on Condition and Social Integration of Foreign Citizens carried out by the National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) in 2011-12 (N = 16,056). In addition to individual characteristics, we analyse the role played by the family in influencing migrant political engagement using a multilevel logistic approach. Our analysis shows that migrants in Italy are largely inactive political subjects in comparison with Italian natives. Political disengagement is related to being a woman, low education and residence in South Italy and the islands. Moreover, we analyse the different factors that are driving soft and strong political participation. We also discuss the negligible impact of EU citizenship in enhancing political participation in Italy.

“…Apart from their common origin in India, these groups differ in terms of the language they speak, their religion, and their degree of adaptation to the majority population. That they are a heterogenous community was also established for Roma living in Italy (Alietti and Riniolo 2021) and Serbia (Grbić et al 2021).…”

The EU and its Member States share responsibility for improving the living conditions and integration of the Roma into society. When developing systemic solutions to address the challenges of the Roma population, the first thing to do is to provide them with a suitable living environment. A suitable living environment for vulnerable social groups includes social housing adapted to their needs and preferences as part of the social infrastructure. In the first, theoretical part, this paper explores the existing international, EU, and Slovenian legal framework for addressing the housing needs of the Roma community. In the second, empirical part, the preferences of the members of the Roma Community regarding the type and architecture of housing, and their financial capacity regarding the type and location of accommodation are examined through a survey that was conducted in the Roma settlement “Kerinov Grm”. The research paper gives answers to the following research questions: (1) what are the preferences of the inhabitants of Roma settlements regarding the type of housing and architecture? (2) how to provide adequate housing for members of the Roma community? and (3) do the Roma take advantage of the available free non-profit housing, and if not, why? The survey shows a very low level of satisfaction with living in Roma settlements, which, in combination with the growing population, limited possibilities for settlement expansion, and specific housing preferences, poses a unique challenge to the state and local communities.

The Roma people, particularly in Central and Eastern European countries, often live ethnically segregated in inadequate housing or without access to basic services (water, sewage system, electricity). Exposure to these harmful environmental factors jeopardizes their health and hinders their social integration. This study delves into the sensitivity of the National Roma Integration Strategies (NRIS) (2012-2020) regarding the environmental factors that affect the Roma population. Previous studies have explored gender or identity in the strategies, but few have analysed environmental sensitivity. Based on World Health Organization (WHO) reports, we consider the following environmental factors: housing, access to basic services, urban environment, working environment and injuries at home. The sensitivity of the 27 NRIS to these factors was quantified in all crucial areas (housing, health, education, employment). An inductive analysis of the operational content (measures, actions) was conducted on nine NRIS. The Member States in the southeast of the European Union were more environmentally sensitive than their counterparts in the northwest. The salient environmental factors were housing and basic services. The nine NRIS analysed show two approaches (western/eastern) in addressing the environmental conditions of the Roma population. Finally, although we identified environmental factors in the NRIS, this issue was not systematically addressed.
