Contrasting Patterns of Migration and Settlement

Albert Sabater; Douglas S. Massey

In this chapter, we document levels and trends in residential segregation for Latin Americans and compare these with those from the African group (the second largest non-European immigrant group in Spain) following a decade of unprecedented growth through international migration. Segregation is measured using two traditional segregation indexes (the index of dissimilarity and the isolation index) and a geographically consistent population time series from 2000 to 2010 that takes into account changes in geographical boundaries over the study period. Although segregation is often measured as a succession of static outcomes, in the second part of the paper we examine whether internal migration within Spain operates to reinforce or mitigate residential concentration. We find that Latin Americans are much less segregated than Africans despite their later arrival and more rapid population growth. We also find that over time Latin Americans tended to disperse away from original settlement areas and move toward desegregation, a situation that clearly differs from Africans, whose segregation generally increased owing to a much slower pattern of dispersal.

Unpacking Summary Measures of Ethnic Residential Segregation Using an Age Group and Age Cohort Perspective

Albert Sabater; Gemma Catney

The residential segregation literature has underplayed the significance of age in shaping the ethnic compositions of neighbourhoods. This paper develops an age group and age cohort perspective as a way to unpack summary measures of residential segregation. Harmonised small area data for England and Wales (2001–2011) are used as a case study to explore the potential of this methodology for understanding better the role of age in the evolution of ethnic residential geographies. Our findings demonstrate the age-specificity of residential segregation, for both cross-sectional patterns and change over time. Levels of segregation vary among age groups and age cohorts and between ethnic groups, with a changing pattern of segregation as people age. Exploring change over a 10-year period, we observe that residential segregation decreases during young adulthood for all age cohorts, then increases during the late 20s and early 30s, and continues to increase until retirement. These trends are, for the most, consistent between ethnic groups. Our findings emphasise how residential segregation is a dynamic process with a significant life cycle component, with commonalities in residential decision-making between ethnic groups through the life course.

The Nexus Between Occupational and Residential Segregation

Albert Sabater; Juan Galeano

In this Chapter, we analyse occupational segregation of Latin American men and women in conjunction with their residential segregation at national level as well as for the metropolitan provinces of Madrid and Barcelona. Given the small sample sizes of occupational data at sub-national level, we employ Iterative Proportional Fitting to adjust these to the national counts so that more reliable analysis of occupational segregation at sub-national level can be undertaken over the study period (2000–2010). We find that while residential segregation tends to decrease over time for both men and women, occupational segregation has increased during the same period, particularly among women. The results also highlight a negative correlation between occupational and residential segregation for both men and women, thus suggesting the existence of a multidimensional problem which demands specific target policies, particularly in the labour market realm.

A Review of "Residential segregation in comparative perspective: making sense of contextual diversity", Edited by Thomas Maloutas and Kuniko Fujita

existing courtyard houses is concerned. Although it is limited with regard to its academic rigour, Zhang’s book is, generally speaking, a meaningful contribution to existing work on cultural sustainability in courtyard housing. It touches upon the cultural sustainability of housing in Chinese philosophy, a creative angle that applies the wisdom of the ancients to the realm of sustainable development. The book tries to connect the wisdom of Chinese philosophy such as that of Feng Shui, Yi Jing, Confucianism and Daoism, with architectural design. These ancient ideas are reflected within core concepts in sustainable development like showing respect for nature, society, and ourselves. Scholars who are interested in sustainable architecture and sustainable built environments, and especially those who are concerned with cultural and social improvement, should read this book. It would also be of interest to people who have witnessed the dramatic changes within China in recent years. Addressing sustainability in courtyard housing is still a relatively new idea in theory as well as practice, and Zhang’s Courtyard Housing and Cultural Sustainability provides a good starting point for investigating this topic.
