Migration-related Identity, Sense of Belonging and Labour Market Outcomes in the UK

这篇混合方法论文的目的是探索移民经历、国家认同感和经济结果之间的关系。更具体地说，它旨在确定移民经历和对移民的态度在过去20年中如何塑造和改变少数民族和次国家民族群体对多元文化英国的归属感，以及这种身份认同是否与劳动力市场结果的差异有关。为了实现这一目标，本文将包括三个关键要素。第一个实质性的章节，使用了一个丰富的具有全国代表性的纵向研究，将提出潜在的阶级分析，以表征潜在的身份“类型”及其随时间的变化。第二章将提出这些身份“类型”作为一系列劳动力市场结果的预测指标，以确定劳动力市场(变化)和身份之间的关系。第三章将采用叙事分析的方法，对以身份类型为基础的受访者的人生经历进行分析，以了解身份认同与经济结果之间关系背后的具体社会过程。

The aim of this mixed-methods thesis is to explore the relationship between the experience of migration, national identity and economic outcomes. More specifically, it sets out to determine how migration experiences and attitudes to migration have shaped and changed the sense of belonging of ethnic minorities and sub-state national groups to multicultural Britain over the last two decades, and whether such identities are linked to differences in labour market outcomes. To achieve this, the thesis will comprise three key elements. The first substantive chapter, using a rich nationally representative longitudinal study, will present latent class analysis to characterise potential identity 'types' and their changes over time. The second chapter will present these identity 'types' as predictors of a range of labour market outcomes, to identify the relationship between labour market (change) and identity. The third chapter will employ narrative analysis of life course experiences of respondents sampled on the basis of their identity 'type' to understand the specific social processes behind the relationship between identity and economic outcomes.
