Produktbeschreibung

Literature Review from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Politics, Majorities, Minorities, grade: 10, Auckland University of Technology, language: English, abstract: This review analyses the theoretical concept of quality of life in light of the existing literature on this topic. It describes quality of life as seen from Latin American migrants' perceptions and the factors impacting the quality of life for migrant and refugees not only in New Zealand but worldwide as well. Finally, this review explores the complexity of migrant and refugee status from the political, cultural, social and economic perspectives associated with their quality of life. Extensive research on the settlement and experiences of refugees and immigrants has been conducted in New Zealand and globally. Nevertheless, there is a significant gap in the research related to Latin American migrants and refugees in New Zealand and their perception of quality of life. Although, some postgraduate studies have been conducted, those studies are based on the stories and experiences of Latin American immigrants and refugees as two different groups. For example, the first research with Latin Americans in New Zealand was conducted in 1996 by Barnard (1996), on "Chilean refugee women's experiences in reconstructing their lives around a future in New Zealand". The most recent study on Latin American people in New Zealand was conducted in 2019 by Nodesco (2019), about exploring the motivations of Argentinean women to embark on a self-initiated expatriation to New Zealand.
