Moreover immigrant descendant youths born in Italy feel less excluded by Italian society than their first-generation immigrant peers, also when reporting discrimination. This suggests the sense of exclusion is decreasing across immigrant generations despite increased self-perceived discrimination.

Our results show that while higher educated immigrant descendants do report more systemic discrimination, this does not apply to interpersonal discrimination.

Do youths with a migrant background and higher level of education perceive themselves to be more discriminated against than those with a lower level of education? And finally, do we see a greater or lower perception of exclusion across generations with a migrant background?

We address three main questions: do immigrant descendant youth report more experiences of discrimination than their first-generation immigrant peers?

The study examines the integration paradox – the positive association between higher structural integration achievements and higher feelings of discrimination and exclusion – among young immigrant descendants aged 14–35 in Italy, using ISTAT SCIF data.

The Report highlights the social transformations and the impact this growth has had on Italian society. The webinar will take place online on June 25th, from 14:00 to 14:45 CEST

Perceived benefits linked to increased support for FGM/C medicalization include religious approval, better marriage prospects, cleanliness, and conformity to traditional cultural values.

Findings indicate that, compared with women who support the practice unconditionally, the requirement of medicalization correlates with higher educational level, age, being in a couple, and being from a country where FGM/C is more commonly medicalized.

Data are from a national survey on FGM/C conducted in Italy in 2016, covering a representative sample of 1,378 women aged 18 + who were born in Nigeria, Egypt, Eritrea, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Somalia, and Ivory Coast

This study investigates the extent of the support for FGM/C conditioned on its medicalization among migrant women from FGM/C-practising countries residing in Italy, and the characteristics of women supporting the practice.

The medicalization of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) as a harm reduction strategy is a highly debated issue, although largely unexplored among migrants living outside practising countries

So proud and so happy for you my friend 😍
