Prior research has relied heavily on size-based or categorical measures of coethnic and interethnic ties, revealing little about the breadth of institutional and occupational domains to which networks connect immigrants. Network diversity, measured through a position generator, captures this structural dimension, and residential mobility provides a complementary lens by situating network formation within the sociospatial environments immigrants encounter over time. Using original survey data from 1,415 Chinese immigrants in Japan, I analyze network size and occupational diversity across four residential mobility patterns that precede network measurement. Socioeconomic resources are consistently associated with larger and more diverse bonding and bridging networks. Residential trajectories further differentiate network structure: early or sustained residence in ethnic neighborhoods corresponds with larger coethnic networks, while movers into ethnic neighborhoods have the largest and most occupationally diverse coethnic networks and comparatively high interethnic diversity. These findings show that immigrant incorporation is reflected not only in the volume of coethnic and interethnic ties, but also in their structural heterogeneity and in the residential pathways through which they are assembled.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, limited access to disaggregated data constrains understanding of how these transfers influence household expectations. This study examines how remittances shape household economic outlook across different time horizons in the Philippines. Using regional transaction data from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)-supervised pawnshops and money service businesses matched with the BSP's Consumer Expectations Survey from 2019 to 2022, the article shows that the relationship between remittances and household outlook is dynamic and varies by remittance source. Domestic remittances are more strongly associated with lagged and longer-horizon improvements in financial situation and family income outlook, while international remittances are often negatively associated with contemporaneous sentiment but become positively associated with several forward-looking outlook measures once lagged effects and common time shocks are considered. These findings suggest that remittances are associated with household outlook in complex, source-specific, and time-varying ways.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"466 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Dutch and international narratives, these cities are often portrayed as open, tolerant, and multicultural, thriving due to inclusive policies toward newcomers. They are thus presented as historical examples supporting openness today. Using specialized research on religious toleration and urban governance, this article reevaluates that view. It argues that peaceful coexistence between natives and newcomers depended not only on openness but also on regulation and institutional inequalities. Immigrants faced restrictions on welfare access, political participation, and civic recognition, while religious minorities were tolerated only under conditions of internal discipline and economic self-sufficiency. Social stability was maintained by protecting established residents from the perceived downsides of immigration. Seventeenth-century Dutch cities thus exemplify conditional toleration rather than open multiculturalism, complicating modern comparisons and indicating how institutional constraints shaped relatively peaceful immigration societies.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research note seeks to clarify this relationship using a pre-registered survey experiment on a representative sample ( <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n</jats:italic> = 1216) of (White) British respondents asking them to evaluate South-African visa applicants in two occupations (medical doctors and fast-food employees) whose ethnicity was randomized. Results show evidence of ethnic penalties against non-White applicants when it comes to medical doctors, but not when it comes to fast-food workers. White medical doctors (a high-status occupation) are rated more favorably than Black medical doctors, but White fast-food workers (a low-status occupation) are not rated more favorably than Black fast-food workers. This pattern is particularly pronounced among respondents who display more negative attitudes towards immigration in general. The results are consistent with a mechanism whereby ethnic bias is activated at higher skill levels.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148289766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The H-1B visa is the largest U.S. work visa program and the primary pathway for high-skilled immigrants to enter and stay in the United States. Despite growing discussions on the H-1B visa program, little is known about the characteristics of H-1B workers, as visa status is rarely captured in nationally representative datasets. Drawing on new administrative records of <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">all</jats:italic> individuals who were approved for an H-1B visa between 2014 and 2024 ( <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n</jats:italic> = 3,396,170), this study provides one of the first population-level analyses of recent H-1B workers’ characteristics. Administrative records are combined with data from the American Community Survey ( <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n</jats:italic> = 3,089,405) to compare H-1B workers with U.S.-born and foreign-born citizen workers who are similarly employed. Findings reveal three key patterns. First, H-1B workers are highly educated and concentrated in computer science and engineering, fields where U.S. citizens are underrepresented. Second, nearly half are overeducated, primarily driven by advanced degree holders employed in occupations that only require a bachelor's degree. Third, H-1B workers earn 10.1 percent less than U.S.-born citizens and 12.9 percent less than foreign-born citizens in comparable occupations. The finding that H-1B workers are more likely than comparable U.S. citizens to be both overeducated and underpaid remains consistent across a range of demographic subgroups and is especially pronounced among Asian migrants. This study points to temporary visa status as a potential axis of labor market stratification in the high-skilled workforce.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147725658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
