Ethnic capital and location choices can help immigrants integrate into the labor market. AUTHOR’S MAIN MESSAGE Ethnic enclaves facilitate the economic integration of new immigrants by providing social networks and economic resources. Research shows that ethnic networks provide employment and self-employment opportunities for immigrants within the specialized ethnic economy, leading to added economic activity. Accordingly, immigration selection policies based on highly-skilled or business criteria, language proficiency, and diversity of origin countries are more likely to strengthen ethnic communities and thus lead to greater economic activity and enhanced long-term economic and social integration of immigrants. Ethnic networks and location choice of immigrants. IZA World of Labor 2016: 284 11 doi: 10.15185/izawol.284 | Sholeh A. Maani © | August 2016 | wol.iza.org SHOLEH A. MaaNI | Ethnic networks and location choice of immigrants MOTIVATION It is generally accepted in migration research that new immigrants can face disadvantages in finding a job in their new country. In contrast to the native-born population, immigrants may typically lack local language skills, social networks, knowledge of customs, and information about job opportunities and local employers [2], [3]. It is also widely accepted that the location choices and employment outcomes of immigrants are important factors that influence their social integration and economic success. A further key factor is the strength of social networks and economic resources that immigrants can access within the broader ethnic diaspora [4], [5]. Co-settlement of immigrants (i.e. the settlement of a group of immigrants in the same location) in alignment with linguistic or cultural factors can result in several ethnic enclaves in immigrant-receiving countries. Recognizing the effect of ethnic networks and resources on immigrant settlement choices, and their economic integration, has significant relevance for economic assessment and policies of immigrant-receiving countries, such as selection criteria, choice of countries of origin, and language proficiency requirements. DISCUSSION OF PROS AND CONS A large and increasing proportion of the world’s population, particularly the proportion of the population in developed countries, are migrants. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) estimates the world’s immigrant population at 232 million people, or nearly 3.2% of the world’s population [6]. Research confirms that ethnic networks play a vital role in immigrants’ location choices and their employment prospects [4], [5], [7]. This line of research considers ethnicity and cultural background as a kind of “capital” for immigrants. The results highlight that through location choices, immigrants enhance their economic opportunities for integration in their host country. For example, Figures 1 and 2 show that in Australia, Sydney and Melbourne contain ethnic enclaves of immigrants from China, Vietnam, Greece, Italy, England, and other countries. While Sydney has a greater co-settlement of immigrants from the Middle East and Vietnam, Melbourne has a greater concentration of immigrants from Italy and Greece. Co-settlement patterns also show that an existing settlement by an ethnic group attracts greater geographic co-settlement by that group. The main labor market and related economic mechanisms that attract immigrants to settle in locations with an ethnic enclave are: easier and less-costly access to information about the local labor market; opportunities of employment in immigrant-owned businesses; secure and specialized markets for ethnic products; availability of start-up capital for self- employment; and a gradual move into the mainstream economy by serving the needs of the immigrant population. A growing body of literature [3], [4], [7], including recent research [5], [8], provides evidence to support these outcomes. Ethnic capital: Theory and evidence The concept of “social capital” has a long history in the social sciences, dating back to the 1890s, and has received significantly increased attention in recent decades. It describes the networks of social connections that exist between people, based on shared values 2 IZA World of Labor | August 2016 | wol.iza.org SHOLEH A.

This research project was funded by Greening Australia. SUGGESTED CITATION Pfautsch S., Wujeska-Klause A., Rouillard S. (2020) Benchmarking tree canopy in Sydney’s hot schools.

However, in order to provide this function, outdoor spaces, including parks and schoolyards, must be designed within the context of the prevailing urban climate and projected future climates. JENNIFER K. VANOS (ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL, 2015) westernsydney.edu.au 3 WESTERN SYDNEY UNIVERSITY SUMMARY This project identified the 100 most vulnerable schools to heat in Greater Western Sydney using a newly developed Heat Score. The Heat Score combines socio-economic information that captures exposure, sensitivity and adaptivity of local communities to heat with environmental data related to surface and air temperatures of urban space.

  • Dating the Suburbs of Fairfield
    DATING THE SUBURBS OF FAIRFIELD WAKELEY A relatively new suburb, Wakeley was officially established in 1979.1 The area had previously been sparse farmland and was part of an extensive suburban development project which began in the late 1970s. The area was named after the Wakeley family, who had a historical presence in the area. It was especially inspired by Daniel Wakeley, a young man who arrived in Australia in 1870. He fought during World War II, and his name can be found on the Embarkation and Honour roll at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. Australian War Memorial, First World War Embarkation Roll: Daniel Wakeley, https://www.awm.gov.au/images/collection/items/ACCNUM_LARGE/RCDIG1067712/RCDIG 1067712--175-.JPG “Pioneer Looks Back On Wakeley,” Fairfield Advance, November 25, 1981, 14. 1 Municipality of Fairfield Council Minutes, Wednesday 6th June, 1979. 1 BONNYRIGG Bonnyrigg was officially established as a suburb in 1979.2 The newly released area was the site of an extensive housing commission development in response to growing immigrant populations. Commercial enterprise and housing rapidly advanced in the 1980s. Soon after it’s establishment, a shopping centre was built and local community organisations prospered. However, the name Bonnyrigg originates from the early nineteenth century, when the area’s beautiful undulating hills caught the eye of settlers. The name has Scottish origins: “bonny” meaning pretty and “rigg” meaning ‘land elevation’.3 Bonnyrigg was a part of an Orphan School grant, which was given by Governor King in 1803 to support much needed orphan initiatives. The area eventually became the site of the Male Orphan School, which ran from 1821 to 1835.4 The original Male Orphan School homestead, built in 1826, still stands today, although it has now blended in with residential surroundings.5 “Bonnyrigg: It’s All go in New Suburb”, Fairfield Advance February 25 1981, p.
