Item type:Publication, The Immigrant Social Rights Data Set (ImmigSR). Technical Report (2., aktualisierte Ausgabe, Stand: 04.03.2025)(2025-03); ; ; This Technical Report for the Immigrant Social Rights (ImmigSR) (formerly the Migrant Social Protection, MigSP) Dataset outlines the conceptualization and operationalization of immigrant social rights, details the data collection and presents the dataset’s codebook. The data provide a set of quantitative comparative measures of de jure immigrant social rights regarding social assistance, unemployment insurance, child benefits, social pensions and employment injury benefits in 45 countries across Europe, Latin America, North America, Oceania and Southeast Asia for the years 1980-2021. The second wave of the data includes several key expansions. First, the dataset was expanded to include six additional countries for the years 2000–2021. Second, data for existing countries was extended to cover the years 2019–2021. Third, two legal categories of migrants were added across all countries: seasonal migrant workers and family migrants. Fourth, three types of benefits were introduced: social pensions, employment injury benefits, and child or family benefits. ImmigSR builds on data collected during the first phase of the Collaborative Research Center Global Dynamics of Social Policy at the University of Bremen, and expands data collected within the realm of the Immigration Policies in Comparison Project (IMPIC) (Bjerre et al., 2016; Helbling et al., 2017).ReportBand:18288 167 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Disentangling democracy: What furthers immigrant social rights?(2025); ; Immigrant rights have been found to be better protected in democracies than in authoritarian regimes, but there is no systematic test of different explanations of why this is the case. In this paper, we attempt to fill this gap by investigating which features of democratic political systems are conducive to a subset of immigrants’ rights, namely social rights. Drawing on literatures on human rights, minority rights, and immigrants’ rights, we hypothesize that whereas electoral elements are not necessarily conducive to immigrant social rights, liberal democratic institutions and civil society participation are. To test these hypotheses, we analyze data on immigrant social rights that spans the years 1980 to 2018 and covers 38 countries around the world using fixed effects models. The level of democracy and several subcomponents thereof are measured using indices provided by the V-Dem project. Descriptively, democracies indeed grant immigrants more social rights than autocracies. However, the multivariate analyses show that disaggregating democracy indices is important. The most aggregate index of liberal democracy had no significant association with the outcome variable. When disaggregating, we found that also the electoral component has no robust effect on immigrant social rights, but the liberal and the civil society components are drivers of extensions of immigrant social rights.ReportBand:30191 164
