Immigration, integration and ghetto formation
نویسنده
چکیده
We study ghetto formation in a population with natives and immigrants in the framework of the two-dimensional Ising-model with Kawasaki-exchange dynamics. It is the phase structure of the Ising model, the integration speed and the immigration rate which determine whether ghetto formation between natives and immigrants can be avoided or not. Our simulations are performed in and out-of equilibrium.

The Unplanned ' Ghetto ' : Immigrant work patterns in 19 th century Manchester
The research presented here considered the well-documented phenomenon of immigrant clustering in niche trades or occupations and compares immigrant and non-immigrant groups within the same poverty ‘ghetto’ – the Red Bank area of Manchester. The research used primary census data and contemporary maps to analyse the socio-economic and spatial structure of the ‘ghetto’. The findings suggest that t...
متن کاملPopulation dynamics in ethnically diverse towns
Ethnically diverse urban areas are often strongly influenced by the medium and long-term demographic consequences of immigration. Hypotheses regarding the population, housing and social changes following immigration are here set out in a dynamic paradigm. These are tested using a time series of census data for Oldham and Rochdale. The results show how natural growth generates dispersal of immig...
متن کاملPotts-like model for ghetto formation in multi-cultural societies
Binary models like Ising-type simulations have a long history. They have been applied by Schelling [1] to describe the ghetto formation in the inner cities of the USA, i.e. to study phase separation between black and white. More recently, Meyer-Ortmanns simulated the Ising model with a temperature increasing with time and showed that in this way ghettos can be avoided: Higher temperature means ...
متن کاملTrade, Foreign Direct Investment and Immigration Policy Making in the US
This paper argues that immigration policy formation in the US after 1950 can only be understood in the context of the increasing integration of world markets. Increasing trade openness has exposed firms that rely on immigrant labor to foreign competition and increased the likelihood that these firms fail. Increasing openness by other states to foreign direct investment allowed these same firms ...

The first Jewish ghetto in Poland, established soon after the German invasion in 1939, was perhaps the most hermetically sealed-off mass prison of World War II. As the living conditions deteriorated year after year, the depleted community was plagued by epidemics of infections and endemic diseases. The extermination process was completed with frequent “relocations to the East,” as the deportati...
