Social Integration (SI) is a critical phenomenon in the complex dynamics of contemporary societies, yet few studies have explored it from a psychosocial perspective. This study addresses this gap by examining SI among 255 individuals from the Colombian population displaced by force and Cubans who migrated for economic reasons, all residing in Quito, Ecuador. Participants were evaluated on measures of anomie and social roots to understand the impact of employment status on their integration. The findings reveal that employment significantly influences feelings of anomie and social roots in both groups. These results underscore the need for immigration policies to incorporate psychosocial dimensions to effectively foster social integration.

摘要

Social Integration (SI) is a critical phenomenon in the complex dynamics of contemporary societies, yet few studies have explored it from a psychosocial perspective. This study addresses this gap by examining SI among 255 individuals from the Colombian population displaced by force and Cubans who migrated for economic reasons, all residing in Quito, Ecuador. Participants were evaluated on measures of anomie and social roots to understand the impact of employment status on their integration. The findings reveal that employment significantly influences feelings of anomie and social roots in both groups. These results underscore the need for immigration policies to incorporate psychosocial dimensions to effectively foster social integration.
