Abstract

The current study investigated labour market integration of Arabs in Israel using Schnell et al.'s () global segregation/integration index (GSI) that assesses minorities’ socio‐spatial integration in multi‐ethnic contexts. The merit of this approach lies in being multifaceted and systematically incorporating socio‐spatial spheres. The study also conducted structured interviews with the respondents (n = 142), and employed GPS loggers to track their weekly movements. GSI socio‐spatial indicators emerged significantly associated with integration in the labour market, with movement in space being the prominent. The study signifies the socio‐spatial approach's application to the study of minorities’ labour market integration in metropolitan areas. El presente estudio investiga la integración de los árabes en el mercado laboral de Israel por medio del índice global de segregación/integración (GSI) de Schnell et al. (2015), que evalúa la integración socio‐espacial de las minorías en contextos multiétnicos. El mérito de este enfoque radica en ser multifacético y en incorporar sistemáticamente las esferas socio‐espaciales. El estudio también llevó a cabo entrevistas estructuradas con los encuestados (n = 142) y usó datos de GPS para rastrear sus movimientos semanales. Los indicadores socioespaciales del GSI se asociaron de forma significativa a la integración en el mercado de trabajo, destacando el movimiento espacial. El estudio supone la aplicación del enfoque socioespacial al estudio de la integración en el mercado laboral de las minorías en las áreas metropolitanas. 本研究は、Schnell et al.(2015)が提唱した、多民族社会のコンテクストにおけるマイノリティの社会/空間的統合を評価するglobal segregation/integration index (GSI)を用いて、イスラエルにおける労働市場のアラブ人の統合を検討する。このアプローチには、多面的で、社会空間的領域を体系的に統合できるというメリットがある。また、回答者(n=142)と構造的面接を実施し、GPSロガーを使用して回答者の1週間の行動を追跡した。GSIによる社会空間インジケーターは、行動の空間が非常に広く、労働市場における統合と有意に関連していることを示した。本研究から、大都市圏の労働市場におけるマイノリティの統合の研究に、社会空間的アプローチを応用できることが示される。
