No full textDoes Citizenship Promote Integration? An Austrian Case Study of Immigrants from the Former Yugoslavia and Turkey. Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|
No full textThis paper addresses the question of whether or not naturalisation promotes the integration of immigrants. The empirical basis for the study is a standardised survey comprising 600 immigrants from Turkey and the former Yugoslavia living in Austria. We investigate the differences in four aspects of (social) integration: structural integration (access to the labour market), social integration (the building-up of social relations with members of the host society), cultural integration (acquiring German-language skills and support for modern gender-role attitudes) and identificative integration (strengthening the feeling of belonging to Austria). Our hypothesis is that the attainment of citizenship supports all of these. Immigrants who became Austrian citizens are compared with those who did not – across indicators of all four aspects of integration. In multivariate regression analyses, we also include migration experience (migration background and generation as well as the length of stay in Austria) as explanatory and socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age, educational level) as control variables. The findings show the expected effects in most regards. In addition, a significant interaction effect emerges between migration background and gender, whereby Turkish women have fewer chances of finding employment than ex-Yugoslavian women in comparison with men of the same nationalities as the women. In the conclusion, we point out the methodological limitations of the study and indicate avenues for further research, both in theoretical terms and concerning empirical research designs

No full textThe Carbon Cost of an Educated Future: A Consumer Lifestyle Approach
No full textDemographic and economic growth will account for most of the anticipated growth ingreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the next century. Education is associated withdevelopment, and the world population in the near future is likely to be significantly bettereducated than today. Previous studies of household energy demand and associatedemissions have not directly considered the consequences of a more educated population. Inthis study, I estimate the energy intensity of consumption dollars and the total impact ofhouseholds according to their demographic characteristics, with particular attention todifferences in spending habits by education and the environmental consequences. I findthat education results in fewer emissions per household, holding other householdcharacteristics constant. Each year of education is associated with an average effect inCO2-equivalent (CO2e) emission of -466kg/yr. After controlling for householdcharacteristics, the effect of a year of education is -163.1kg per year. Educated householdsspend less on home energy and transportation by car, two of the most important sources ofhousehold level atmospheric GHG production. They spend relatively more on investmentgoods, public transport, and other activities which have a low environmental footprint

No full textIs it (dis)Advantageous to Have Mixed Parentage? Exploring Education and Work Characteristics of Children of Interethnic Unions in Britain
No full textExtant studies commonly claim that mixed ethnic children face difficulties inaffiliating with either of the parental ethnic group, which consequently negatively affectstheir identity development. However, the majority of the existing literature is based onclinical evidence of small highly self-selected samples of those seeking psychologicalassistance. This paper aims to investigate the socioeconomic outcomes of mixed ethnicchildren using the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study data (N=35,302) whichis a nationally representative 1% sample of the population in England and Wales. Wehypothesise that an interethnic union between one immigrant parent and one parent from amajority population could promote integration of an offspring. Here educational attainmentand employment status are used as indicators of socioeconomic integration. Logisticregression is employed to estimate the probabilities of having a degree qualification andbeing in employment of mixed ethnic individuals comparing to children of two ethnicminority parents and native children of two native white parents.Controlling for parental demographic and socio-economic characteristics as well asneighbourhood characteristics, the results suggest that having one native white parentbring children of immigrants closer to the characteristics of the majority population,signalling better integration of children with mixed parentage compared to theircounterparts whose both parents are from minority ethnic group
Les prytanes d’Iasos, l’épitropos et la question du remplacement des magistrats en poste dans les cités hellénistiques. Akten der Gesellschaft für Griechische und Hellenistische Rechtsgeschichte|(28) Symposion 2019 Akten der Gesellschaft für griechische und hellenistische Rechtsgeschichte Band 28|
No full textThe article examines the replacement of absent officials, in particulartemporary replacement. The case of the Prytanes of Iasos, who were able to bereplaced by another citizen in the 3rd-2nd c. BC, is the best documented and mostdifficult. With the help of some parallels, an attempt is also made to elucidate therole of an epitropos (representative) who sometimes intervened in this process
Overworked or Underemployed? Actual and Preferred Household Employment Patterns in the Context of the Economic Crisis
No full textThis article revisits work hour mismatches at the couple level. Most of what has beenpublished on actual and preferred employment arrangements of couples in Europe is basedon international survey data from the late 1990s. The aim is to present new data oncouples’ actual and preferred employment arrangements using data from Round 5 of theEuropean Social Survey (2010-2012). The article discusses trends in the degree to whichcouples’ employment arrangements are in line with preferences and how work hourmismatches may be related to the current economic crisis
