Öffentliche Infrastruktur, Dienstleistungen und Versorgung

Öffentliche Infrastruktur bezieht sich auf öffentliche Güter wie Parks und Infrastruktur. Dienstleistungen und Versorgung bezeichnen allgemeine Sozialleistungen, die nicht ausschließlich auf MigrantInnen abzielen. Sie wirken sich auf die Attraktivität von Herkunfts- oder Zielregionen aus und können die Migration erleichtern oder einschränken.

Die Studien beziehen sich auf Sozialleistungen und Wohlfahrtstaatlichkeit, öffentliche Güter und Infrastrukturen (z. B. Verkehr, Straßen, Eisenbahnen).

Vervoerdersverplichtingen. Luchtvaartmaatschappijen en immigratiecontrole

Authors The Dutch Advisory Committee on Migration Affairs (Adviescommissie voor Vreemdelingenzaken, ACVZ), Minze Beuving, Evelien Brouwer, ...
Description
Vervoerdersverplichtingen zijn verplichtingen die op grond van regelgeving aan vervoerders zijn opgedragen. Deze verplichtingen dragen feitelijk bij aan de immigratiecontrole die door de overheid wordt uitgeoefend aan de Schengenbuitengrenzen. Commerciële vervoerders (luchtvaartmaatschappijen en rederijen) die passagiers van buiten het Schengengrondgebied aanvoeren moeten aan de volgende vier verplichtingen voldoen: de terugvervoerplicht, de zorgplicht, de afschriftplicht en de passagiersinformatieplicht. Met uitzondering van de terugvervoerplicht zijn de verplichtingen van toepassing voordat passagiers zich aandienen aan de Schengenbuitengrens. Indien een vervoerder handelt in strijd met de vervoerdersverplichtingen kan het Openbaar Ministerie (OM) overgaan tot strafrechtelijke vervolging. Op overtreding van de vervoerdersverplichtingen staat een boete, in theorie kunnen aan vervoerders gevangenisstraffen worden opgelegd. In dit advies wordt met betrekking tot de vervoerdersverplichtingen de volgende hoofdvraag beantwoord: Waarom, hoe en met welke gevolgen vond privatisering plaats in het migratiebeleid en welke lessen zijn daaruit te destilleren? Wanneer het vervoer van een passagier wordt geweigerd, voorkom je met vervoerdersverplichtingen dat een passagier zonder de juiste documenten, de Schengen-buitengrens bereikt. Hierdoor dragen de vervoerdersverplichtingen feitelijk bij aan een effectievere uitvoering van de immigratiecontrole. Ook wanneer een passagier wiens vervoer is geweigerd zich beroept op asielmotieven, is de vervoerder nu niet verplicht deze passagier te vervoeren. Een geweigerde passagier kan een beroep doen op asiel. Wanneer een vervoerder deze passagier toch overweegt te vervoeren, bestaat er de mogelijkheid om de zaak ter consultatie voor te leggen aan de Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst (IND). Uit onderzoek van de ACVZ blijkt dat van deze mogelijkheid in de praktijk geen gebruik wordt gemaakt. Er bestaat voor vervoerders geen verplichting om de IND te consulteren. Bovendien zijn er indicaties dat grondpersoneel niet in staat is om een beroep op asielmotieven te onderkennen. De ACVZ beveelt aan om de procedure in de Vreemdelingencirculaire te schrappen. Wanneer een passagier geen of onjuiste documenten bezit en stelt dat zijn leven in gevaar is, zouden vervoerders dit verplicht aan de IND moeten voorleggen. Dat stelt de ACVZ in haar advies ‘Vervoerdersverplichtingen’.

'Geen derderangsburgers. De risico’s voor gedetacheerde arbeidsmigranten en de Nederlandse samenleving'

Authors Adviesraad Migratie
Description
EU-detachering – soms ook wel de A1-constructie genoemd – kent verschillende vormen. Van het detacheren van experts en specialisten tot het inzetten van arbeidskrachten tegen zo laag mogelijke kosten, ook wel concurrentiedetachering genoemd. Deze laatste vorm wordt in toenemende mate door Nederlandse werkgevers toegepast, vooral binnen sectoren als de bouw, productiewerk, transport, landbouw en de vleesverwerkende industrie. Werkgevers en uitzendbureaus in deze sectoren gebruiken via detacheringsconstructies arbeidsmigranten van binnen en buiten de EU als een manier om te besparen op arbeid. In vergelijking met werkgevers in andere Europese landen maken Nederlandse werkgevers veelvuldig gebruik van een flexibele schil van personeel. Hierbij kan gedacht worden aan tijdelijke contracten, nulurencontracten, oproepkrachten, uitzendkrachten en zzp'ers. EU-detachering is een variant van zo’n flexibele arbeidsrelatie. Ondoorzichtige constructies maken controles lastig De Adviesraad Migratie vindt concurrentiedetachering problematisch. De (lange) detacheringsketen van verschillende partijen in het zendende en ontvangende land met een wirwar aan regels en arbeidscontracten, zorgt ervoor dat het onduidelijk is wat de rechten van mensen zijn. De complexe regelgeving van EU-detacheringwordt gebruikt voor ontduiking van verantwoordelijkheden. Dat maakt het lastig om vast te stellen wie precies waarvoor verantwoordelijk is. Daarbij pakt regelgeving in elk EU-land net weer anders uit en bilaterale verdragen met niet EU landen bepalen bijvoorbeeld of iemand een uitkering voor arbeidsongeschiktheid ook daadwerkelijk ontvangt. Het is haast onmogelijk voor een gedetacheerde arbeidsmigrant om precies te weten waar hij of zij recht op heeft, laat staan dat er wordt overgaan tot actie bij het niet nakomen van arbeidsvoorwaarden of bij slechte arbeidsomstandigheden. Dat geldt ook voor de gemeenten waar deze mensen wonen als voor de Nederlandse Arbeidsinspectie. Zij kunnen door een gebrek aan capaciteit, opsporingsbevoegdheden en het ontbreken van gegevens, niet goed handhaven. Werkgevers kunnen zich op hun beurt achter complexe regelgeving verschuilen en hier misbruik van maken.

Wohnsituation der atypischen Grenzgängerinnen und Grenzgänger an der luxemburgisch-deutschen Grenze

Authors Ursula Roos, Chantal Hermes, Birte Nienaber
Description
Bedingt durch das Schengener Abkommen aus dem Jahr 1992, die Abschaffung der Grenzkontrollen und die Einführung einer einheitlichen Währung hat die grenzüberschreitende Mobilität in der Großregion Saar - Lor - Lux - Rheinland-Pfalz - Wallonie - Französische und Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft Belgiens in den vergangenen beiden Jahrzehnten zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Eine besondere Rolle spielen dabei die atypischen Grenzgängerinnen und Grenzgänger, bei denen der Arbeitsplatz noch in der Herkunftsregion liegt, jedoch der Wohnort ins benachbarte Ausland verlagert wurde. So hat sich beispielsweise die Zahl der atypischen Grenzgängerinnen und Grenzgänger mit luxemburgischer Staatsangehörigkeit, die regelmäßig aus der Großregion ins Großherzogtum Luxemburg zu ihrem Arbeitsplatz pendelt, seit 1999 verdreifacht. Als Wohnstandorte werden von den atypischen Grenzgängerinnen und Grenzgängern Gemeinden entlang günstiger Verkehrsachsen bevorzugt, die durch eine gut ausgebaute Infrastruktur entlang der Grenze die täglichen Pendlerbewegungen ermöglichen. Die Zuwanderung führt in den beiden Untersuchungsregionen Rheinland-Pfalz und Saarland zu einem Bevölkerungswachstum, das in Verbindung mit dem hohen Grenzgängeraufkommen zu neuen Herausforderungen im deutsch-luxemburgischen Grenzraum beiträgt. Diese bringen diverse Konsequenzen für die Planung und die zukünftige Entwicklung mit sich.

ENHANCED ON-STREET PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Description
The migration of the global population to urban areas has strained the resources of cities worldwide. To address these challenges governments are turning to Smart Cities to provide sustainable infrastructure that meets the needs of citizens. The smart city industry is projected to reach 1.56 $ trillion by 2020. Smart city initiatives are focussing on smart parking systems to enhance regulated parking spots with occupancy sensors that provide additional features & services to parking management companies as well as drivers by reducing time spent looking for parking, traffic and CO2 emissions. Monitored parking spaces will be a global emerging market by 2020 when 1% of on-street parking spaces will be controlled. The European Parking Association estimates that there are 12M parking spaces available for smart parking (in European cities with more than 20K habitants). As a result, they estimate that there are an additional 190M spaces likely to become regulated in the near future, equalling a huge potential market for Fastprk-2 in Europe alone. Considering the competitors & the time-to-market we aim to manage 60M parking spaces for 2019. FastPrk-2 is an innovative full featured smart on-street parking solution, featuring enhanced services resulting from almost 100% accurate occupancy sensors & a system architecture that provides cutting edge HW-based sensor technology & SW-based tools that optimize transport management through innovative applications that analyse diverse parking related data, minimizing maintenance costs and operational processes. Worldsensing is a cutting edge tech company, a market leader in innovative wireless solutions, & a pioneer in IoT technologies, with a strong executive & advisory team, as well as the strategic investors Cisco, Mitsui and FJME. Worldsensing has 2 main product portfolios: Smart Traffic solutions for Smart Cities and Industry Monitoring solutions. It has >30 employees & an increasing turnover of 2.7M€.

The Role of Group Competition and Cultural Group Composition in the Provision of Public Goods: An Evolutionary Approach

Principal investigator Ruud Koopmans (Principal Investigator), Jeroen van den Bergh (Principal Investigator)
Description
"Theoretical background and objectives The explanation of the human capacity to cooperate in larger groups constitutes one of the major puzzles that preoccupy evolutionary biologists and anthropologists. A currently popular explana­tion, multilevel selection theory (e.g., Wilson 2002), proposes that the human capacity for collec­ti­ve action has evolved by way of a process of intergroup competition in which cooperative beha­viour is selected at the group level because more cooperative groups are more successful (in terms of population growth, outcomes of intergroup conflicts, and cultural imitation of successful groups by less successful ones) than less cooperative groups. Many theorists of cultural group selection argue that this evolutionary process should have produced a behavioural pattern of “paro­chialism” (Bowles and Gintis 2004), which combines ingroup favouritism with outgroup hosti­li­ty. The question of the evolutionary basis of human collective action is relevant for the study of immigration and integration because if correct, the theory of cultural group selection has several important implications for interethnic relations, for instance that intragroup cooperation will be more difficult in culturally heterogeneous communities (see project 6.2) or that intergroup conflict is more likely to occur when cultural differences between groups are stark (see projects in cluster 3), especially if groups live highly segregated lives (see projects in cluster 4). This pro­ject inquires into what biologists (Tinbergen 1963) refer to as 'ultimate', i.e. evolutio­na­­­ry, causes of intra- and between-group behaviour. It does so along two empirical paths of in­quiry. The first, implemented by collaborators Garcia and van den Bergh, mathematically models group selection processes and conducts numerical simulations under varying parameters. The second component of the project, in which the research unit is involved, tests the behavioural implications of cultural group selection theories in a series of public goods experiments. Research design, data and methodology A series of pilot experiments was conducted to establish whether different results were obtained in online experiments using a web-based tool, or classical laboratory experiments. Because these re­vealed no significant behavioural differences and online experiments were easier and less cost­ly to implement, we stuck to online experiments except in the second experiment, where groups repeatedly interacted, which was too impractical to implement online. In a first experiment we tested whether more homogeneous ingroups were more successful in overcoming public good provision problems, by giving subjects information on several cultural characteristics of their fellow group members (religion and political affiliation), as well as on a trivial trait as a control (birth month). The experiment included a further control condition in which all traits were ran­dom­ly assigned. Second, we conducted single-group repeated public goods experiments to in­vestigate whether more homogeneous groups were more successful in resisting the trend of de­creasing cooperation levels that is routinely observed in repeated games. In a third set of expe­ri­ments, we tested whether between-group competition for a valued good increased within-group cooperation, and additionally investigated whether this was more strongly the case if groups were culturally different from one another (using political affiliation and German vs. Dutch natio­nality). Finally, we introduced a punishment option in the between-group competitive game, and tested whether between-group competition led to increased punishment of free riders. Findings The first experiment revealed significant ingroup favouritism, but we found no evidence of out­group hostility as culturally contrasting fellow group members were not treated more unfa­vou­rab­ly than randomly assigned group members. The second experiment showed higher levels of cooperation in homogeneous groups, but group homogeneity did not moderate the decline in coope­ration levels across the rounds of the game. Contrary to the parochialism thesis, but in line with recent work in sociology and experimental economics on the effects of diversity on coope­ration (see project 6.2), we find that group homogeneity raises contribution levels of individuals re­gard­less of whether they are in a minority position in a group dominated by cultu­ral­ly different others. This suggests that the positive effect of group homogeneity on coope­ration is not prima­rily a result of parochial ingroup/outgroup biases, but due to other advantages of homo­geneous groups. The third experiment showed that in line with group selection theories, intergroup com­pe­ti­tion raises within-group cooperation levels: Subjects com­pet­ing in a cultural in­group against an outgroup cooperated significantly more than those who were placed in an out­group compet­ing against a group of cultural ingroup members. However, the size of this paro­chialism effect was small compared to that of intergroup compe­ti­tion. In line with the expecta­tions, the final experiment showed that subjects were more likely to punish free riders in inter­group compete­tion settings. Taken together, the results provide strong evidence that group cooperation increa­ses with group homogeneity and intergroup competition. Com­pared to the importance of these factors, support for cultural ingroup/out­group biases as predic­ted by the parochialism thesis is weaker and less consistent. Translated to interethnic relations in the con­text of immigration, the findings support the idea that cultural diversity may undermine com­mu­nities' capacity for collec­tive action and raise the potential for intergroup con­flict. How­ever, the fact that effects of shared fate (i.e. membership of the same payoff group) are much stronger than those of shared cultural group membership suggests that the extent to which such negative outcomes will occur depends importantly on how ethnicity interacts with socio-economic status and material interests."
