Summary: The study found that in Minnesota, the COVID-19 death rate is twice as high among foreign-born individuals. Particularly among foreign-born Latinos, the mortality rate is concentrated in relatively younger males. Mortality among US-born individuals is mainly concentrated in long-term care facilities, while foreign-born individuals have earlier deaths and more outside of residential institutions.

Summary: The study introduces a new metric (Care Life Expectancy) to summarize unpaid care work provided to children, elderly, and other family members across the life cycle in European aging countries, showing that women and men are expected to spend a significant amount of their remaining life in an unpaid caregiving role, with women primarily engaging in high-level caregiving for family members. Men lag in caregiving across most countries, even at the lowest threshold.

Summary: The research explores the impact of Brexit on the decisions of British citizens living in Belgium, British citizens in the UK considering applying for another citizenship, and EU27 citizens in the UK on whether to apply for naturalisation. The uncertainties introduced by the Brexit process have made the naturalisation decision complex and uncertain for all three groups. British interviewees have shown interest in obtaining the citizenship of an EU member state to protect their rights, while EU27 interviewees are unsure about the desirability of remaining in the UK and applying for UK citizenship.

Summary: Research suggests that targeted intolerance is increasingly expressed in subtle ways. Innovative studies on color-blind racism and unconscious bias highlight the unacknowledged perpetuation of prejudicial attitudes without overt expression. Two survey experiments conducted before and after the Brexit vote reveal that individuals strategically mask intolerance, with strategies shifting depending on the normative context.

Summary: This article analyses the immigration policies and discourses of CDU/CSU during Angela Merkel's Chancellorship, highlighting proactive approach in passing legislation, conflicting messages regarding borders and cultural assimilation, framing of immigration in election manifestos, and intra-party divisions during the migration crisis. The study attributes these findings to the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany and the 2018 Bavarian regional elections.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of demographic parameters, population health conditions, and policy actions on the prevalence and fatality levels of Covid-19 during the first 3 months since it was declared a global pandemic. The study finds a diversity of factors and a complexity of their interaction in explaining the spread and fatality of the disease across Europe.

Summary: Utilization of antenatal care services plays a crucial role in saving lives and promoting health. This study examines the factors associated with ANC utilization among married women in Cameroon and highlights the importance of age, wealth, education, and pregnancy intention. To improve ANC attendance and early initiation, interventions should focus on empowering women financially, improving ANC education, and encouraging male involvement.

Summary: The paper argues that an in-depth exploration of the dynamic co-production of regulatory spaces by intermediaries and state actors is necessary to understand how labor migration is currently brokered and regulated. The analysis shows that the ability of migration intermediaries to influence the regulation of migration lies in their capacity to establish close relationships or a powerful presence, rather than in a level playing field of interactions with state actors.

Summary: This article explores the continuity and disruption in social support networks of unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) and their mental health impact. It reveals that family, peers, and volunteers are central sources of support, while formal support varies depending on the URMs' status. The study emphasizes the dynamic nature of social support networks, highlighting the importance of agency and acculturation for URMs, with implications for practice, policy, and future research.

Summary: This study provides estimates of the impact of COVID-19 on life expectancy in the Native American population. The findings show that Native Americans have experienced greater losses in life expectancy compared to other racial/ethnic groups. In 2020, the estimated loss in life expectancy at birth for Native Americans exceeded that of Whites by over three years and was more than 1.5 years higher than the losses for the Black and Latino populations. Despite a successful vaccination campaign, the loss in life expectancy in 2021 for Native Americans surpasses that in 2020, highlighting the challenges they face in controlling the detrimental consequences of the pandemic.

Summary: Lowering desired family size is crucial for fertility declines in high-fertility settings. Research shows that women's education has a stronger impact on fertility desires compared to household wealth and area of residence, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The study's findings reinforce the importance of education in relation to fertility preferences.

Summary: This article examines the immigration profile of the Austrian centre right, particularly focusing on the Austrian People's Party (oVP) and its stance on immigration from 1994 to 2019. It finds that after 2017, the party has taken a more explicit anti-immigration stance, with a strong emphasis on Muslim immigrants and their descendants as a 'cultural other'. The article concludes that the oVP can now be classified as an anti-immigrant actor capable of attracting anti-immigrant votes.

Summary: Although Asian-born migrants tend to have lower levels of English proficiency currently, the majority of older migrants with poor proficiency are from a predominantly European background. In the future, a strong shift is projected towards an Asian-born dominance in the population of poor English speakers as some European-born migrant groups diminish in size.

Summary: This article explores the impact of immigration controls on EU migrants in the UK before Brexit through a process of 'bureaucratic bordering', affecting their post-arrival regularization of statuses and broader pathways of incorporation. The tightening of administrative procedures following labor market liberalization in 2014 for Bulgarian arrivals is analyzed for its productive potential in inducing a 'protracted arrival' temporality, stripping migrants off their formal rights and making them dependent on subordinated forms of employment within the 'migrant economy'. By using analytical concepts like 'bordering', 'differential inclusion', and 'permanent temporariness', the article questions the distinctions between internal and external migrations, raising concerns about the erosion of EU citizenship protections.

Summary: Chinese immigrants in the United States have become increasingly diversified since the country's open-door policy and economic reform in 1979. While they are economically well-integrated as a group, their experiences with identity and sense of belonging are complex and counterintuitive. These divergent patterns stem from the interactive processes of immigrant selectivity and social transformations.

Summary: To mitigate ethnic labour market discrimination, it is crucial to understand its underlying mechanisms. Recent literature suggests that taste-based discrimination may better explain ethnic discrimination in hiring, but further research is needed to solidify this finding.
