TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigate the intergenerational change in religiosity within immigrant families of different religious affiliation and test how common arguments can contribute to explaining existing patterns, finding that interfamilial change in religious affiliation is only weakly related to assimilation processes in other domains of life.Abstract:
This paper investigates religiosity among immigrant children in four European countries: England, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. Drawing on major strands of theories in the sociology of religion and of migration, we analyse intergenerational change in religiosity within immigrant families of different religious affiliation and test how far common arguments can contribute to explaining existing patterns. We overcome several challenges and shortcomings in this field by studying adolescent-parent dyads. Using strictly comparable and comprehensive data from the new Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries (CILS4EU), we find a considerable stability of religiosity or even an increase therein within Muslim immigrant families, in contrast to Christian immigrant families, whose religiosity declines over generations. This finding is astonishingly stable across the four countries. Our analyses furthermore suggest that interfamilial change in religiosity is only weakly related to assimilation processes in other domains of life.read more

The Economics of Immigration
TL;DR: The authors conducted a literature review on the impact of immigration on the economy of the host country focusing on the experience of the United States. The emphasis is on the period from the 1970s to the 1990s, and the author shows that research earlier in this period generally concluded that the economic effects of immigration were positive but that more recent research on later migrations have generally concluded immigration may be having an adverse effect on the earnings of native unskilled workers and be placing an increased burden on welfare programs.
