  • Surveying Forced Migrants in Austria Evidence from a Panel Study
    Österreichische Statistische Gesellschaft Austrian Statistical Society ARBEITSKREIS DEMOGRAPHIE _________________________________________________________ Einladung zum Vortrag (in englischer Sprache) Invitation to a lecture (jointly with the VID Colloquium) Dr. Isabella Buber-Ennser and Dr. Bernhard Rengs (Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital) Surveying forced migrants in Austria Evidence from a panel study Thursday, 14 December 2017, 15:00 Uhr Vienna Institute of Demography, Lothar Bosse Library 1020 Wien, Welthandelsplatz 2, Level 2 Contents: In November 2015, the Wittgenstein Centre carried out a social survey among refuge seeking persons in Austria, which turned out to be the first micro-data-collection among displaced persons arriving in Europe in that year. This survey, called DiPAS, was pub- lished in PLOS ONE and yielded valuable insights on human capital of recent inflows of displaced persons. In spring 2017, respondents were interviewed a second time. Due to high dropout, refreshers were added to the sample, yielding more than 400 interviewed adults, mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. In this talk, we will provide insights from the panel study in terms of panel attrition and response rate. Moreover, we present first results on the demographic composition, family structure and family reunification potential of displaced persons in Austria since autumn 2015. About the presenters: Isabella Buber-Ennser and Bernhard Rengs are affiliated with the Wittgenstein Centre and work at the Vienna Institute of Demography (VID) of the Austrian Academy of Sci- ences. Isabella Buber-Ennser studied Technical Mathematics at the Vienna University of Technology. She is deputy leader of the VID research group “Demography of Aus- tria”. Her research areas include fertility, ageing and forced migration.

  • Refugees Arriving in Fall 2015 in Austria: Insights on Their Human Capital
    Refugees arriving in fall 2015 in Austria: Insights on their human capital Isabella Buber-Ennser, Judith Kohlenberger, Bernhard Rengs, Zakarya Al Zalak, Anne Goujon, Erich Striessnig, Michaela Potančoková, Richard Gisser, Maria Rita Testa Wittgenstein Centre (IIASA, VID/ÖAW, WU) Vienna Institute of Demography/Austrian Academy of Sciences Welthandelsplatz 2, Ebene 2 1020 Vienna, Austria [email protected] Extended Abstract Submitted to the European Population Conference (EPC) 2016 Please do not cite without authors’ permission For months, people from the Middle East have been fleeing to Europe. Many of them have searched refuge from war, terror and persecution in Austria. Given the large number of persons applying for asylum in Austria in summer and fall 2015 and the societal relevance of the latest migration flows to Austria, it is of utmost importance to not only determine how many persons are seeking asylum, but to investigate who these refugees are. In other words, not counting the heads but uncover what these heads can offer in terms of human capital for Austrian society. To help with their inclusion it is important to know more about their educational background and their professional qualifications, and also about their hopes and expectations for the future. A recent study in Vienna has gathered this information for the first time in the German-speaking area. More than 500 interviews were conducted in English, Arabic and Farsi at various NGO-run refugee accommodations in and around Vienna by a team including the Syrian statistician Zakarya Al Zalak, Arabic-speaking refugees, volunteer Arabic and Farsi translators, as well as by students of a master program at the Vienna University of Economics and Business.

  • Population Societies
    Number 541 February 2017 Population & Societies Immigrants’ educational attainment: a mixed picture, but often higher than the average in their country of origin Version française Mathieu Ichou,* Anne Goujon** and the DiPAS team A common misconception concerning immigrants is that, on the whole, they are poorly edu- cated. While this is true for some, most immigrants have attended school and are often more educated than the majority of people in their country of origin, as shown here by Mathieu Ichou for immigrants living in France, and Anne Goujon for refugees who arrived in Austria in 2015. Are the immigrants(1) living in France as poorly educated as some people claim? To answer this question, it is Figure 1. Proportion of individuals with no schooling or with higher education in France, standard practice to compare their educational levels by country of birth (%) with those of people born in France. But we can also draw comparisons between immigrants and the people France still living in their country of origin, though this is all too rarely attempted. We will begin by comparing United Kingdom immigrants with people born in France. China Belgium Varied levels of education among immigrants Germany Romania Vietnam Few people born in France never went to school (less Poland than 1%), and more than a quarter (27%) have completed Senegal higher education (Figure 1). By comparison, some Tunisia immigrant groups have very low average levels of Morocco education. This is the case for people born in Portugal Algeria and Turkey, a sizeable share of whom have no schooling Spain Italy (8% and 15%, respectively), and among whom the No schooling Serbia proportion with higher education is very small (7% and Higher education 9%).
