At EPRA Hub, we aim to influence policy through interdisciplinary research that adheres to our core values of collaboration, informed decision-making, ethics, and transformative knowledge. A policy brief is a crucial instrument in this endeavor, designed to provide a succinct yet comprehensive overview of your research findings and their policy implications.

Please take a look at our first Policy Brief (“Economic Insecurity and Anti-Immigrant Sentiments”), written by Jaewook Lee (Postdoc, EPRA Hub, University of Milan). This policy brief is based on the following research paper: Lee, J. (2023). Economic Insecurity and the Rise of Anti-Immigrant Sentiments: The Role of Labor Market Risks and Welfare Deservingness Perception. Political Studies Review, 14789299231217188.

Summary: Utilizing data from the European Social Survey, this policy brief underscores the significant link between economic insecurity among native populations and the escalation of anti-immigrant sentiments. This research examines the implications of labor market risks and welfare deservingness perceptions on public attitudes toward immigrants and outlines policy strategies to mitigate these challenges.
