In this paper, we draw on interviews with 26 male and female refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran, conducted in 2017 and 2018, who came to Austria in 2015 and 2014 and who have successfully entered employment. We depict refugees' own perspectives on and strategies for fast job entry and integration. Personal agency and a proactive approach of seeking and seizing opportunities are key for overcoming initial barriers and entering upon positive integration pathways. At the same time, refugees' personal agency is essential for establishing social ties to the host society, which also play a crucial role in early labour market integration. Finally, institutions of the Austrian labour market (the 'apprenticeship'-system) interact with refugees' agency in most intricate ways, both setting up nearly insurmountable barriers but also providing specific opportunities for refugees.}, language = {en} } @article{RiedererVerwiebeSeewann2019, author = {Riederer, Bernhard Edwin and Verwiebe, Roland and Seewann, Lena}, title = {Changing social stratification in Vienna}, series = {Population, Space and Place}, volume = {25}, journal = {Population, Space and Place}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {New York}, issn = {1544-8444}, doi = {10.1002/psp.2215}, pages = {1 -- 11}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The social stratification systems of major cities are transforming all around the globe. International research has been discussing this trend and focus on changing occupational classes. However, the precise effects on urban households, taking social welfare and different family arrangements into account, as well as the precise effects on people with a migration background, remain unclear. Using the example of Vienna, this article examines immigration as a key dimension for social stratification. Although household income structures in Austria have remained comparatively stable over the past two decades, the middle-income share in Vienna (as the sole metropolis in Austria) has dramatically decreased. This predominantly affects people from migrant backgrounds. Using a comprehensive dataset (two waves, N = 16,700 participants, including N = 4,500 migrants), we systematically examine the role of (a) migration-specific and (b) education- and employment-related factors to explain the decline of middle-income migrants. The results of multinomial logistic regression and decomposition analyses suggest that transformations in the labour market is the main driving force. Changing migrant characteristics have counteracted this process. If today's migrants displayed similar showed characteristics (e.g., origin and educational levels) to those prevalent in the past decade, the ethnic stratification disparities would have been even stronger.}, language = {en} } @incollection{RiedererSeewannVerwiebe2021, author = {Riederer, Bernhard Edwin and Seewann, Lena and Verwiebe, Roland}, title = {Das Schrumpfen der Mittelschicht als st{\"a}dtisches Ph{\"a}nomen}, series = {Mittelschicht unter Druck : Dynamiken in der {\"o}sterreichischen Mitte}, booktitle = {Mittelschicht unter Druck : Dynamiken in der {\"o}sterreichischen Mitte}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-31522-1}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-31523-8_9}, pages = {185 -- 210}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Großst{\"a}dte sind in den letzten Jahrzehnten einem massiven wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Wandel ausgesetzt, der die st{\"a}dtische Sozialstruktur einmal mehr entscheidend ver{\"a}nderte.
