本文分析了在西欧三个目的地国家：德国、荷兰和英国，宗教参与对一个重要的社会经济一体化结果即就业的影响。本文重新审视了关于宗教参与作为一种种族投资战略或作为通往社会主流的桥梁的理论争论。本文利用“欧洲新移民的社会文化融合进程”(SCIP)国际调查项目所产生的纵向数据集，通过分析参与宗教社区对就业的影响，以及仔细研究宗教会众的种族构成对新移民进入主流经济与种族小众经济的传导效应，对这些论点进行了严格的检验。这篇论文发现，这两个论点中的任何一个都只得到了有限的支持，这表明宗教参与在结构上与社会经济一体化脱钩。然而，最近的基督教和穆斯林移民之间持续存在的净就业差距可能表明西欧存在宗教标记和社会经济影响的边界。
This paper analyzes the effects of religious participation upon a major socio-economic integration outcome, namely employment, among recent Christian and Muslim newcomers in three Western European destination countries: Germany, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. The paper revisits theoretical arguments about religious participation as an ethnic investment strategy or, alternatively, as a bridge to the societal mainstream. Drawing on the longitudinal dataset produced in the international survey project on ‘Socio-cultural Integration Processes among New Immigrants in Europe’ (SCIP), the paper puts these arguments to a rigorous test by analyzing effects of involvement in religious communities on employment and by scrutinizing channeling effects of the ethnic composition of religious congregations for recent migrants’ entry into mainstream versus ethnic niche economies. The paper finds only limited support for either of the two arguments, suggesting that religious participation is structurally decoupled from socio-economic integration. However, persisting net employment gaps between recent Christian and Muslim immigrants might indicate the existence of religiously marked and socio-economically consequential boundaries in Western Europe.
