“…Empirically, studies show that co-ethnic community shapes earnings attainment and employment that immigrants obtain in a variety of ways (Damm, 2009; Demireva and Zwysen, 2021; Levanon, 2014). For example, an economically strong co-ethnic community facilitates immigrant incorporation; however, socioeconomic standing of each immigrant within the community also shapes how much immigrants can benefit from the resources that the community has to offer (Demireva and Zwysen, 2021; Khachikian, 2020; Levanon, 2014).…”

Europe is experiencing heightened public attention toward anti-immigration policy reforms and restrictions. Despite the potential importance of these policy changes, we do not know whether these policies influence how immigrant children perceive their futures in their host countries. Employing secondary data analysis of the Program for International Student Assessment and the Migrant Integration Policy Index data, I show that a decrease in policy support for immigrant integration is associated with a decrease in how good of a job immigrant children expect to have when they are adults. Since students’ occupational expectations influence their eventual status attainment, this article shows that a decrease in pro-integration policies has important implications for the integration of immigrants into their host countries and for their life trajectories.

“…Research into these supplementary schools has found that they are not only important to the students that attend them, but also by extension, to the students' parents and other community members. They can be instrumental to the social mobility of minorities in providing access to social capital and information (Khachikian, 2020;Steenwegen & Clycq, 2023).…”

As European societies become continuously more diverse, understanding the dynamics of minority rights endorsement becomes increasingly crucial. This paper investigates the variations in citizen support for minority rights and how these endorsements differ across various minority groups and purposes. This study focuses on minority organized supplementary schooling for minoritized youth in Flanders, Belgium, as a case study for examining the endorsement of rights. In study 1, we investigate which characteristics of natives predict support for minority-organized schooling. In Study 2 we conduct a survey experiment to unravel what explains public opposition to certain minority-organized, but not others. Specifically, we examine the causal effect the organizing ethnic community (i.e., Italian, Chinese, or Moroccan) and the stated purpose (i.e., heritage language training or math tutoring) of the school on public support. The study reveals that public approval of such minority-organized spaces is not uniform. It is influenced by the perceived cultural threat posed by specific minority groups and the nature of the initiative. This research is the first to comprehensively examine public perceptions of minority-organized spaced. The findings indicate that deeper research into the support for minority rights and freedoms is imperative.
