abstract: 'It is not only immigration and the incorporation of immigrants into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
society that serve as challenges for post-industrialised countries, but
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also rising inequality and poverty. This article focuses on both issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and proposes a new theoretical perspective on the determinants of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrant poverty. Building on comparative welfare state research and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
international migration literature, I argue that immigrants'' social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rights - here understood as their access to paid employment and welfare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefits - condition the impact which both the labour market and welfare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
system have on immigrants'' poverty. The empirical analysis is based on a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
newly collected dataset on immigrants'' social rights in 19 advanced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industrialised countries. The findings confirm the hypotheses: more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regulated minimum wage setting institutions and generous traditional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
family programmes reduce immigrants'' poverty more strongly in countries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where they are granted easier access to paid employment and social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefits.'
