Conclusion -- References -- Index."Analysing two major surveys of 14 different migrant groups connected to Danish register data, this insightful book explores what migrants think of the welfare state. It investigates the question of whether migrants assimilate to the ideas of extensive state intervention in markets and families or if they retain the attitudes and values that are prevalent in their countries of origin. The authors examine what various migrant groups from countries including Poland, Romania, Spain, the UK, China, Japan, Turkey, Russia, the US, Pakistan, Lebanon, Iraq and the former-Yugoslavia living in Denmark think about the trustworthiness of state institutions, state responsibility, economic redistribution, female employment and childcare. Chapters also cover the key issues of national identification, social trust and welfare nationalism. Concluding that migrants from diverse backgrounds assimilate well into the welfare attitudes, norms and values of the Danish people in several areas, the book points to the potential assimilative impact of the welfare state. Incorporating new theoretical discussions, this book will be critical reading for academics and students studying migration and welfare states. It will also be a useful resource for comparative migration researchers interested in the impact of the host country context on migrants' assimilation patterns"--Provided by publisher.ImmigrantsDenmarkAttitudesImmigrantsDenmarkSocial conditionsWelfare stateDenmarkDenmarkfastMigrationAssimilationWelfare attitudesWelfare stateImmigrantsAttitudes.ImmigrantsSocial conditions.Welfare state305.8009489Breidahl Karen N.1351828Hedegaard Troels FauthKongshøj KristianauthLarsen Christian AauthEdward Elgar Publishing,MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910688567203321Migrants' attitudes and the welfare state3136449UNINA
