As the number of immigrants increase globally, nations grapple with how to accommodate new arrivals and how best to integrate them into their society. This forward-looking book explores the diverse methods by which cultures worldwide accommodate growing immigrant populations. It investigates the settlement and adjustment of new arrivals by analyzing various challenges they encounter, including employment, housing and social integration.
The book examines the diverse lived experiences of immigrants, encompassing economic migrants alongside vulnerable populations such as refugees and women. Chapters cover key topics including immigrant health, refugee shelters, racial and ethnic discrimination and employment outcomes for skilled workers. Contributing authors engage with new research methods and theoretical perspectives, identifying key questions to guide future research within the field.
A Research Agenda for Immigration Settlement and Adjustment is a valuable resource for scholars and students of sociology and geography, particularly those interested in population studies. Policy analysts, international and development organizations, think tanks and demographers will also benefit from this book’s fascinating insights.
