The Well-Being of Moroccan Immigrants in Spain: A Composite Indicator

Integration Policy and the Subjective Well-being of Immigrants—Using the Variation in Available Inclusive Services Across Local Governments

“…One aspect that has not been thoroughly examined in the immigrant SWB literature is the role of local governments in providing inclusive public services. Soriano-Miras et al (2020) found that Moroccan immigrants’ SWB depends on the region of Spain in which they live, among other factors. Their results point to the importance of local governments providing inclusive public services.…”

Migrant Perceptions of Their Social Inclusion, Social Networks, and Satisfaction with Life in Northern Spain

“…In line with this idea, Soriano-Miras, Trinidad-Requena, and Guardiola [64] studied the well-being of Moroccan migrants in Spain. Regarding the age of the migrants, this study also concluded that older migrants have a better perception of well-being, and suggested that this could be attributed to the fact that "with age, immigrants put down roots, which helps generate this well-being" ([64], p. 649).…”

“…Various socioeconomic aspects, such as financial circumstances, citizenship, access to health and educational systems, involvement in sociocultural activities, and housing conditions, become potentially relevant for the inclusion process of migrants and their well-being [63]. The study conducted by Soriano-Miras, Trinidad-Requena, and Guardiola [64] specified that it is necessary to examine the following dimensions in order to foster effective and holistic inclusion: cultural well-being, structural well-being, community well-being, and subjective well-being. The latter dimension, defined by Kee, Lee, and Phillips [65] as the migrant's cognitive and affective perceptions of their experiences, is essential in terms of satisfaction in the host community.…”

El efecto de la discriminación sobre la autoeficacia y la satisfacción con la vida de los niños y adolescentes migrantes

“…La evidencia sugiere que los niveles de satisfacción con la vida en inmigrantes son más bajos en comparación con los de las poblaciones locales (Arpino y De Valk, 2018;Hendriks, 2015). El acceso a recursos, las condiciones de vivienda, el estatus legal, las condiciones laborales favorables, la mayor seguridad económica, la salud, el conocimiento del idioma, la mejor adaptación a la cultura de destino, la mayor participación comunitaria, las mayores redes de apoyo social y la menor discriminación percibida se asocian con mayores niveles de satisfacción vital en el migrante (Calvo & Cheung, 2018;Cobb et al, 2019;Fassbender y Leyendecker, 2018;Leung y Tang, 2018;Paloma et al, 2021;Soriano-Miras et al, 2020). Estos hallazgos se han encontrado principalmente en poblaciones adultas.…”
