Political and Social Contexts of Reception
As immigrant families enter host societies, political, economic, and social factors within the contexts of reception (Portes & Rumbaut, 2001) influence short-term adaptation as well as long-term developmental pathways (see Dryden-Peterson, 2016; Motti-Stefanidi, et al., 2012; Suárez-Orozco, Abo-Zena, & Marks, 2015). Broader economic opportunity structures shape the experience of immigrant family resettlement in a variety of ways including the types and stability of jobs that are available to adults and adolescents (see Suárez-Orozco & Suárez-Orozco, 2013).
