This paper focuses on residential mobility of Filipino migrants within Rome in the 2000s. The aim is to contribute to explaining the patterns and motivations behind the intra‐urban mobility of ethnic minorities highlighting the role of the socioeconomic background of the neighbourhood. We used an interdisciplinary quanti‐qualitative approach combining descriptive and multivariate analyses performed on original population register microdata on residential moves and ethnographic fieldwork to understand the dynamics of relocations from a multifaceted perspective. Rome is an interesting case study because it is a Southern European metropolis and the capital of Italy, a country with a welfare regime and a housing system that peculiarly affects the residential segregation and mobility patterns of ethnic groups. The findings show that the socioeconomic situation of the Filipinos' previous neighbourhood ‘predicts’ the characteristics of the neighbourhood where they move, with a growing propensity of family groups to head to more peripheral, poorer neighbourhoods with a low–medium concentration of co‐nationals. Moreover, belonging to a socio‐occupational niche influences their choices and motivations for mobility and settlement, therefore the concept of ‘ethnic employment‐driven residential mobility’ is proposed.

南欧大都市城内住宅流动性的模式和动机。在罗马的菲律宾移民案例


本文重点介绍了 2000 年代菲律宾移民在罗马境内的居住流动性。其目的是有助于解释少数民族城市内流动背后的模式和动机，突出社区社会经济背景的作用。我们使用跨学科定量定性方法，结合对原始人口登记册、住宅搬迁微观数据和人种学田野调查进行的描述性和多变量分析，从多方面的角度了解搬迁的动态。罗马是一个有趣的案例研究，因为它是南欧大都市和意大利的首都，意大利的福利制度和住房制度特别影响着种族群体的居住隔离和流动性模式。研究结果表明，菲律宾人以前社区的社会经济状况“预测”了他们搬迁所在社区的特征，家庭群体越来越倾向于前往更边缘、更贫穷的社区，这些社区的同胞密度为中低。此外，属于社会职业生态位会影响他们的选择以及流动性和定居的动机，因此提出了“种族就业驱动的住宅流动性”的概念。
