However, few studies comprehensively test individual-level explanations for the Muslim employment gap. Using data from the European Social Survey, this research note briefly examines the role of individual-level differences between Muslims and non-Muslims in mediating employment differences. Results reveal that human capital, migration background, religiosity, cultural values, and perceptions of discrimination jointly account for about 40% of the employment variance between Muslims and non-Muslims. Model specifications for first- and second-generation Muslim immigrants reveal a similar pattern, with migration background and perceived discrimination being of key relevance in mediating employment difference. While individual-level effects are indeed relevant, unexplained variance suggests that symbolic boundaries against Islam may still translate into tangible ethno-religious penalties."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.ssresearch.2014.08.001"],["dc.identifier.gro","3146956"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/9606"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0049-089X"],["dc.subject","Muslims; Europe; Employment; Economic integration; Religion; Immigration"],["dc.title","Explaining the Muslim employment gap in Western Europe: Individual-level effects and ethno-religious penalties"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Drawing on theories of inter-generational immigrant integration, it identifies and spells out two context-dependent mechanisms through which religion impinges upon structural integration – as ethnic marker prompting exclusion and discrimination, or as social organization providing access to tangible resources. The propositions are empirically tested with nationally representative data on occupational attainment in three different integration contexts which vary in religious boundary configurations and religious field characteristics – the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. Using data from the US General Social Survey, the Canadian Ethnic Diversity Survey, and the European Social Survey, the article analyzes indirect and direct effects of religious affiliation and participation on occupational attainment among first and second generation immigrants. The analyses find only limited evidence for the assumption that in contexts with strong religious boundaries (such as Western Europe and, to a lesser extent, Canada), immigrants face religious penalties in structural integration. By contrast, the analyses support the assumption that in contexts with a thriving religious field (such as the United States and, to a lesser extent, Canada), religious attendance tends to be positively related to occupational attainment, especially for the second generation. For the first time, the article empirically tests arguments about transatlantic differences in the role of religion for immigrant structural integration, and it suggests ways of better integrating micro-oriented survey research with macro-oriented institutional analysis."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/imre.12012"],["dc.identifier.gro","3146968"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/9619"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0197-9183"],["dc.title","Bridges and Barriers: Religion and Immigrant Occupational Attainment across Integration Contexts"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
