Edited BooksUse and consequences of family policies among migrants and their descendants in Europe
Mussino, Eleonora; Kraus, Elisabeth; Milewski, Nadja (Eds.) (2023)
Thematic Series in Genus
This Thematic Series, "Use and consequences of family policies among migrants and their descendants in Europe," raises two research questions: To what degree do family policies include, and are used by, migrants and their descendants? And, to what extent do such polices promote migrants’ integration into European societies? The collection contains six empirical articles investigating either eligibility or use and consequences of two specific family policy measures: parental leave and external childcare. Collectively, the studies show significant disadvantages among migrant groups in eligibility for family policy measures, and consequently in their use and impacts on further life-course patterns, compared to majority populations. They also demonstrate diverging patterns within migrant populations.
