Economic integration and ties to origin as determinants of migrant remittances among Senegalese immigrants in Spain: a longitudinal approach

Carrasco, José Ignacio January 2015 (has links)
Background: The increased amount and diversification of migration flows to Europe are shaping new contexts forthe study of determinants of remittance-sending. Senegalese migration in Spain is one important case,because has increased its presence among other groups in the country and has different characteristics(e.g. younger age structure) compared to Senegalese migrants in Europe. This paper addresses aresearch challenge which can be framed in the three following aspects. First, it analyzes the migrant’sremittance behavior of a particular group of migrants in a specific national context. Second, itacknowledges remittances as transnational practices determined by factors related to incorporationinto host society and ties at origin. Thirdly, the paper provides a longitudinal approach which looks atmigration histories and changes in remittance-sending over time. Objective: The main objective of this paper consists on disentangling the way in which migrant’s remittancebehavior is affected by changes, over time, in individual characteristics (e.g. gender, education),economic integration, (e.g. employment status), and their ties at origin (e.g. family reunification).Thus, there are two research questions to be answered, namely: how are the trajectories of migrantremittances deployed since their arrival into Europe? And, how are these trajectories affected byindividual and family characteristics, as well as economic integration over time? Methodology: The paper is based on retrospective data from the Migration between Africa and Europe (MAFE) andthe Migrations Between Senegal and Spain (MESE) projects. The analysis of determinants ofremittance-sending is divided in two parts. First, a multivariate logistic regression which analyzes theodds of sending remittances (or logit) at any year since arrival into Europe is carried out. Secondly,event history analysis is used to explore the risk of initiating remittance-sending for the first time andthe risk of remittance-sending termination, respectively. In particular, a discrete-time logistic model isperformed to analyze these two processes. Results: Results indicate that despite having arrived relatively recently to Europe, lower educationalattainments and less access to the labour market, compared to other important destinations (e.g.France, Italy), the great majority of Senegalese migrants in Spain start sending remittances duringtheir first years of arrival. Once initiated, international money transfers are kept over time, as morethan two thirds of remitters maintain this economic flow over their stay. In this sense, empiricalevidence of this paper confirms remittances as an important aspect in South-North migration flows,both in terms of the proportion of migrants sending remittances and as a sustained transnationaleconomic practice.

Les groupes culturels du Néolithique et de l'Âge du Fer des régions de Louga, Thiès et Saint-Louis, Sénégal (du VIème millénaire avant J.-C. au VIème siècle après J.-C.) : approches taphonomique et archéologique / The cultural groups of the Neolithic and the Iron Age in the areas of Louga, Thiès and Saint-Louis (Senegal) (from the 4th millenium BC to the 6th century AD) : taphonomic and archaeological approaches

Deschamps, Sandrine 22 March 2013 (has links)
Nos recherches portent sur une portion de la zone dunaire du Sénégal occidental, à proximité du littoral. Elle est comprise entre M'Boro, au nord, et Rao, au Sud, bordée par le littoral à l'ouest et limitée à la longitude de Guéoul, à l'est. Ce choix permet de remplir un vide archéologique observable sur toutes les cartes ainsi que dans la bibliographie. L'enjeu de notre recherche est de poser un premier jalon « heuristique». II s'agit de dresser, à l'issue de plusieurs campagnes de terrain, un inventaire liminaire des différents faciès du Néolithique et de l'Âge du fer présents dans cette région. Notre but a été de les décrire au travers de leur culture matérielle, de les organiser d'un point de vue chronologique et enfin de les comparer avec les autres sites connus. Cela mis en évidence plusieurs sites néolithiques dont certains ont été rattachés au Néolithique microlithique dunaire. Au moins trois groupes de l'âge du Fer, ont pu être distingués. Parallèlement, nous éclairons les contextes de découverte difficiles, que sont ceux du système dunaire ogolien, par leur analyse taphonomique. Cette étude a débouché sur une typologie de la conservation des sites dunaires ainsi sur des propositions synthétiques sur leur évolution post-dépositionnelle. Un dernier aspect a consisté à croiser les données bibliographiques des autres sciences (géomorphologie, palynologie, géologie, archéozoologie) avec nos propres données afin de percevoir le cadre environnemental dans lequel ont évolué les différentes sociétés humaines néolithiques et de l'âge du Fer. Cela a permis à la fois de réfléchir à l'implantation des sites dans le paysage par période et sur les économies de subsistance. / Our research focuses on a portion of the dune area of western Senegal, near the coast. The area stretches from Mboro in the north to Rao in the south, and is limited to the west by the coastline and at the east longitude by Guéoul. The deliberate choice of this area allows filling an archaeological gap observable on ail maps and in the bibliography. The goal of our research is to establish the first milestone "heuristic", in order to prepare, after several field campaigns, a preliminary inventory of the various subgroups of the Neolithic and Iron Age found in this region. Our aim was to describe these groups through their material culture, to establish a chronological framework and then compare them with other known sites. It highlighted several Neolithic sites, some of which were attributed to the microlithic Neolithic of the dunes. At least three groups of the Iron Age could be distinguished. Parallel to this, we describe the difficult context of discovery of the sites and their taphonomic analysis, as presented by the Ogolian dune system. This study resulted in a typology of different states of conservation of the dune sites and synthetic hypotheses on their post-depositional evolution. A final aspect was to cross the bibliographic data of auxiliary sciences (geornorphology, palynology, geology, zooarchaeology) with our own data in order to reconstruct the environmental context in which have evolved different landscape according to their periods as well as to the subsistence economy.

Colonizing the Mind: The Effect of French Colonization on Education Systems in Algeria, Senegal, and Vietnam

Ivy, Janine 01 January 2018 (has links)
This paper will examine the effects of French colonization on the education systems of three ex-colonies: Algeria, Senegal, and Vietnam. This will be accomplished by first exploring the goals of French colonial policy and the doctrines of assimilation and association. Then, the paper will examine three case studies of Algeria, Senegal, and Vietnam by looking at historical context of French colonization, independence, indigenous education, French colonial education, and finally modern day education within each country. Finally, this paper argues that the modern-day education systems in these three countries continue to represent the political and economic interests of their ex-colonizer, France.
