Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume study was prepared for the US Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement, under contract from the Social Security Administration. The central concept studied was refugee self-sufficiency, organized into the two major dimensions of economic and social self-sufficiency. The economic dimension included the components of labour force participation, employment, welfare usage, other support and income levels. The social dimension included components of English language ability, physical and mental health, interactions with Americans and participation in formal organizations. Separate field studies of four ethnic groups - Afghans, Ethiopians, Poles and Romanians were conducted in five locations: Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Northern Virginia/Washington, DC and New York City. Volume I presents the introduction and background to the study and a brief description of the information sources and study methods, as well as the major findings synthesized by ethnic groups across all sites in which the group was studied. In Section IV, conclusions about patterns of adjustment in general deriving from the findings are illustrated with reference to the particular group. Implications for the refugee service system of non-Southeast Asians are presented in Section V. The 12 Case Portrayals are compiled in Volume II, along with a description of the context of each site of study. The volume is structured in such a way that the context of the first site is described, followed by the portrayal of the adjustment of each ethnic group studied at that site.

Download or read book Economic Adaptation and Integration of Non-Southeast Asian Refugees to the United States written by E. Gozdziak and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper aims at elucidating commonalities and differences between resettlement experiences of non-South East Asian and Indo-Chinese refugees as well as comparing them with adaptation processes of other immigrant groups. In describing economic adaptation, the author states that non-South East Asian refugees have higher labour-force participation rates than South East Asian refugees, lower unemployment, and lower reliance on public assistance programmes. She examines the patterns and type of employment among various groups, relying on recent surveys and studies. Wages and occupational mobility are also discussed. Within the section on factors influencing refugee employment, mention is given to demographic factors, length of time in the United States, background characteristics that effect later adjustment, household size and composition, and employment services. There are two brief sections dealing with public assistance utilization and economic self-sufficiency. The author concludes that research provides good news concerning non-South East Asian refugees and their economic adaptation and integration in the United States.

Download or read book Refugees as Immigrants written by David W. Haines and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with access to an important body of information taken from surveys on the initial adaptation of South East Asian refugees to the United States. The material, devided into eight chapters with numerous tables, is an extension of the findings presented at a panel on the experiences of South East Asian refugees, held in May 1986 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The book, according to the editor, serves as an introduction to a specific kind of research on the adaptation of these refugees as one recent set of immigrants to the United States. The introductory chapter gives some general characteristics of the immigrant population, the contexts of refugee adaptation, and an overview of research on South East Asian refugees. Chapter 2 describes the annual surveys sponsored by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and its predecessors, especially those between 1981 and 1985. Chapter 3, entitled 'Differential reference group assimilation among Vietnamese refugees', reports the findings of a three-year panel study of Vietnamese refugees conducted from 1978 to 1981 in Northern California and the central Gulf Coast. Two other chapters deal with the period 1975-1979, concentrating on adaptation within specific areas of the United States. A separate chapter describes a survey of Indo-Chinese refugees in San Diego, California, between 1975 and 1981. Another survey concentrates on the general pattern of refugee achievement, the socio-cultural basis for the economic and educational success of South East Asian refugees. The last chapter gives the result of a comprehensive longitudinal study by the Indochinese Health and Adaptation Research Project (IHARP) in San Diego, California. It encompasses the major 'waves' from 1975 to 1983 and all of the main ethnocultural groups of South East Asian refugees in the United States. It includes sections on English proficiency, occupational adaptation, economic adaptation, health status, psychological adaptation, economic self-sufficiency, education, fertility and adaptation, and depression and adaptation.

Book excerpt: Alien Winds presents the first critical analysis of U.S. refugee processing centers in Southeast Asia. Based on twenty months of work in refugee camps from 1983-1986 and an analysis of documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, this book challenges the widely held view that the refugee education program results in successful resettlement. The author contends that in its zeal to Americanize Southeast Asians, this program seeks to replace ties to their traditional community with a commitment to the myths of American success ideology and the moral principle of self-sufficiency. He concludes that the program actually disempowers the refugees by robbing them of their sense of community, and often their dignity. Without regard to skills or education, it prepares refugees for long term employment in dead end minimum wage jobs. Of particular interest to teachers of English as a second language and scholars in the fields of education, sociology, anthropology, and Southeast Asian studies, Alien Winds concludes with recommendations for overseas centers and domestic resettlement programs. From its inception the U.S. refugee resettlement program faced difficult questions: What are the main difficulties facing Southeast Asians in the United States? What do refugees need to know in order to resettle successfully? How should successful resettlement be defined? Should there be different notions of success for different groups of people? What values do Americans share? Must newcomers adopt these values? Alien Winds examines the American answers to these questions as they are formulated and conveyed to the refugees. It also explores the sources of these answers. To this end it examines important assumptions about immigrants that originated in educational programs during the early part of this century. It further explores the aims and structures of the organizations which created and operate the processing centers. Finally, Alien Winds analyzes the role of the refugee program in America's shared memory of Vietnam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of a comparative study conducted in 1986-87 in San Diego, California, of the adaptation of refugee youth from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. The project examined both successes and problems of these refugee youth regarding their educational and occupational attainments and aspirations, and evaluated their prospects for economic self-sufficiency in the United States. Data were drawn from the Indochinese Health & Adaptation Research Project (IHARP) longitudinal surveys, the San Diego City Schools (including complete academic histories), the San Diego County Probation Department, and intensive qualitative interviews with 76 informants. Findings are presented in the following areas: (1) characteristics of San Diego high school students; (2) grade point averages of San Diego high school students; (3) characteristics of Southeast Asian students and their parents; (4) grade point averages of Southeast Asian students; (5) standardized test achievement scores; (6) determinants of educational attainment; (7) occupational aspirations of Southeast Asian students; (8) problem areas: student dropouts, school suspensions, and juvenile delinquency; (9) adaptive resources: social class and cultural characteristics; (10) adaptive contexts: family, school, and community; and (11) adaptive strategies: acculturation and coping. Data are presented in 50 figures and tables.
