Citizenship means integration (ECO Review, 3/2024)

Based on the results of the Seventh Migration Observatory Report, published in March 2023, this topic is discussed by Tommaso Frattini (Scientific Director of the Migration Observatory) and Francesco Fasani in the third issue of ECO Review.

The  Seventh Migration Observatory Report includes a monographic section: “Citizenship Acquisition and the Naturalization Premium” on naturalization patterns of immigrants in Europe and on the labour market differentials between naturalized and non-naturalized immigrants. It showes that naturalized immigrants have a considerable naturalization premium. They enjoy a higher employment probability, are employed in more prestigious and better paid occupations and earn higher wages than non-citizens even when employed in similar occupations. Naturalization premiums is highest for immigrant women and for those from outside the EU. The report is based on an original analysis of microdata from the European Labour Force Survey 2021.
