Project description
Counting the hours contributing to immigrants’ integration
Levels of integration of immigrants in the EU and in non-EU countries such as Canada and the United States represent a key topic in research aiming to understand deviations and elaborate policy actions. The EU-funded TIMEUSE project will study the integration of immigrants by applying a new approach based on the amount of time immigrants and natives spend on daily activities. It will explore the differences between immigrants and natives, with particular focus on gender and other characteristics, and establish new metrics to analyse the relationships and the time distribution between and across integrating activities. The research will use exceptionally detailed data on the time-use of a wide range of immigrants and natives residing in several EU Member States, Canada and the United States.
Objective
TIMEUSE aims to study the integration of immigrants for a wide range of EU and non-EU countries, by applying a new approach based on the time immigrants and natives allocate to daily activities. This objective will be achieved by: 1) investigating the differences between immigrants and natives in participation and in the time spent in integrating activities using parametric methods. In particular, the analysis will focus on differences between sub-groups of immigrants based on gender and other characteristics; 2) developing new metrics that analyse the relationships between integrating activities and how individuals distribute the time across activities. The analysis of the relationships between activities allows us to better understand deviations from desirable behaviour and inform policy actions aimed at removing constraints. The research will be based upon the use of highly detailed data on the time-use of a large sample of immigrants and natives residing in several EU countries, USA and Canada. In order to achieve this objective, I will be based at CESSMIR, an excellent centre in migration studies that is part of the Ghent University; an internationally renowned institution ranking among the 100 best universities in the world. Here, I will be trained in innovative and interdisciplinary methods applied to migration studies under the supervision of Prof. Glenn Rayp. Additional training on data management techniques will be provided by my secondment at CTUR, a world-leading centre that manages the data I will use in the analysis. The successful completion of training and research under TIMEUSE will greatly benefit my future career prospects in academia.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
