Family formation migration, marriage behaviour and integration in Austria

By Martin Hofmann, Veronika Bilger and Sanda Uellen

Due to globalisation changing the face of transportation and communication, migrants no longer have to completely leave behind their families and connections to their homeland.  These circumstances have also changed views on marriage of the third-country nationals migrating to Austria. This new publication attempts to discern how definitive types of marriage and family formation migration affect labour market participation, educational pathways of spouses and educational opportunities of offspring to develop corresponding compensatory strategies.
