Η επίδραση της νόμιμης διαμονής στην κοινωνική ένταξη των μεταναστών στην Ελλάδα
<p>This article examines how legal immigrants<br />integrate in the Greek labor market. The<br />analysis is based on the results of an<br />empirical research which was carried out in<br />three Greek cities, namely, Athens, Saloniki<br />and Ioannina, in 2006 and 2007. The research<br />took place in the framework of a research<br />programme evaluating the migrant policy in<br />Greece as an implementation of the European<br />Strategy for Employment. This article focuses<br />on the ultimate role of legitimization in the<br />processes of the immigrants’ entrance in the<br />labour market and their integration in Greek<br />society. The fi ndings show that stay permits<br />plays little infl uence or no infl uence on the<br />work and employment integration, but a<br />strong infl uence on the family re-unifi cation.<br />That is, the title of stay infl uences family<br />existence and maintenance, as well as child<br />achievement at school, but it does not help at<br />changing the occupational status or fi nding a<br />better job in the labor market. In the end, the<br />title of stay affects social integration in the<br />long run.</p>
