@article {85164, title = { Open markets, closed societies: The dual assimilation of immigrants in Western Europe }, journal = {Social Science Research}, year = {2019}, abstract = {This paper provides an examination of seven groups of\ first- and second-generationimmigrants\ in Western Europe. The aim of this study is to track the trajectories of these immigrants{\textquoteright}\ economic\ and social\ assimilation\ and to compare them. Data from the European\ Social Survey\ (ESS) and the\ MigrantIntegration Policy\ Index (MIPEX) are integrated here in a multilevel analysis. Findings show that while Western European\ immigrants\ show an improvement in\ economic indicators\ over time and\ generations, they show no improvement in\ social indicators. Thus, this study proposes a model of dual assimilation, which more closely reflects the Western European context than existing models.}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X18305489}, author = {Kislev, Elyakim} }
