Summary: This article explores whether the debate on immigration policy in Western Europe and North America has been oversimplified. Using a survey of the German population, the authors find that preferences on immigration, integration, and naturalization are not consistently open or closed. The study highlights the need for a more detailed approach to studying immigration preferences and how they vary across specific policy areas.

Summary: In recent years, Italy and the EU have implemented various measures and strategies to expedite the recognition of international protection. However, these efforts have inadvertently weakened the protective capacity of the system. This article, based on ongoing ethnographic research since 2012, examines how the management of time affects different actors involved in migration flows and explores the impact of these processes on migrants' experiences and the legal framework.

Summary: This article explores the trend of integrating migration control and integration requirements in contemporary civic integration policies by analyzing Swedish immigration policies from a governmentality perspective. The analysis reveals that the concepts of 'incentives' and 'conduct' are key to understanding these policies, where the permanent residence permit is seen as part of a set of technologies aimed at governing non-citizens' behavior and work.

Summary: Gender roles have become a symbol of cultural division between Western Europe and its immigrant population. The extent to which immigrants and their children from gender-conservative backgrounds adopt egalitarian attitudes is influenced by the institutional support for gender equality and the cultural origins. Religion, particularly among Muslims, also plays a role in preserving conservative attitudes. Immigrant-origin youth largely adapt their perspectives to the reception context, with even the most conservative groups in Scandinavia having more gender-egalitarian beliefs than immigrants and natives in continental Europe.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive international overview of children from separated families, with a focus on the European context. The findings highlight the impact of demographic shifts on the number of children experiencing parental separation and reveal that a majority of contemporary children of separation are born to higher-educated mothers.

Summary: Considered as the epidemic of the 21st century, obesity is a global problem that is on the rise and will continue to increase in the coming years, including in Spain and Andalusia. This study aims to analyze the socioeconomic determinants of obesity and determine whether education level or income has a greater influence on overweight. The results show that while both income and educational attainment can be effective in combating overweight, educational attainment has a greater social gradient in this health problem. Other variables and factors related to individual overweight, such as mental health and oral health, should also be considered in health policies to combat this disease.

Summary: This study examined the adherence of camp-based refugees in Ghana to COVID-19 protocols during the peak and post-peak of the pandemic. The findings showed that adherence was high during the peak but declined significantly during the post-peak. Factors such as loss of livelihood, inability to access nose/face masks, and poverty were associated with low adherence at the post-peak. The study highlights the importance of continuing preventive measures beyond the peak of the pandemic.

Summary: This study compares the self-reported life satisfaction of different population groups (immigrants and natives) living in European countries and analyzes the association between self-reported life satisfaction and the perceived quality of the neighborhood. The study finds that immigrants report lower life satisfaction compared to natives and that positive subjective evaluation of neighborhood characteristics and services is positively associated with life satisfaction.
