The development has been exceptionally speedy. In less than twenty years the number of immigrants has risen from negligible to 14-15% the mean national average. Research on immigrants and the social impact of cultural diversity is therefore needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The aim of Mirra\u2019s research is to elicit the main aspects characterizing immigration and cultural diversity in Iceland. Mirra has conducted a variety of research but the main focus and interest has been on migrants in the Icelandic labor market.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of some of the research Mirra has worked on in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Speakers&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/mirra.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/bg-4.png&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;44px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|80px||80px|false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/mirra.is\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/K\u00e1pa.png&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.3&#8243; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;1600ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;23%&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;verkefni-Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Roboto|300|||||||&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;23px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><em>Immigrants in Tourism &#8211; Drive of Growth and Prosperity<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Transformations in the Icelandic labor market\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In April 2019 Mirra published a research report titled: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Immigrants in Tourism \u2013 Drive of Growth and Prosperity<\/em>,<\/span> based on a research with the same title conducted by Mirra over a period of a year and half, from 2017 to early 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The research sheds light on the recent exponential growth in tourism &#8211; by now the largest sector in the country \u2013 and concluded that the growth would never have been possible without the labor contribution of immigrants who constitute over one third of the active laborers within the sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The aim of the research project was to analyze and evaluate in which way ethnic division of labor presented itself in the tourist sector. Focus was aimed at mapping three subdivisions within tourism; hotels, car rentals and bus companies with ethnic job division in mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The research revealed an unequivocal ethnic labor division where migrants are in some instances in great majority, such as within hotels where they make up over two thirds of the staff on average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gender and age divisions were also significant but varying between the subdivisions. For example, within the hotels young women under 35 years were in the majority of the staff doing all kinds of jobs from non-skilled to management. In car rentals men under 35 years old were in the majority with migrants constituting 40% of the staff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The research sheds light on the concomitant growth in tourism and migration and argues that both the tourist sector and immigration suffer from lack of clear and purposeful long term policy, making the already precarious position of migrants even more vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In discussing migrant labor exploitation in the sector, an all too frequent occurrence in Iceland, the report concluded, that emphasis on sustainability in tourism that excluded social sustainability, was lacking in substance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The report is one hundred pages, illustrated with charts and tables.

The aim was to compare wages, recruitment practices and migration patterns among Polish migrants in Oslo, Copenhagen and Reykjavik. The project was based on data collected in the <em>Polonia 2010<\/em> research &#8211; mentioned below-\u00a0 which was conducted in all the three cities. Starting in 2011 the project finished with a report by same name, published in December 2013. The project was conducted under the supervision of Fafo Social Science Research Foundation in Oslo with participation of Mirra for Reykjavik and the University of Copenhagen for Copenhagen. The Icelandic part was based on a sample of 481 Polish individuals which at the time equaled 10% of all Poles in the area. The research revealed among other things that Poles only earned 57% of the average wages of Icelanders and their wages were considerably lower than what their fellow Poles were earning in both Oslo and Copenhagen. In Reykjavik however, an overwhelming majority was directly hired by their employer and they had a long term contract whereas both in Oslo and Copenhagen the overwhelming majority were hired through temporary work agencies. The report has a specific chapter on temporary work agencies in Iceland.

The research focused on sports and recreational activity among immigrant children in the Brei\u00f0holt neighborhood in Reykjavik in 2008. Brei\u00f0holt has the highest immigrant population density in the city about a 25% and was even higher in part called Efra Brei\u00f0holt where the density of immigrant families is at its highest in the city. Little was known about the migrant children participation in sports and other recreational activities. The research showed that their participation was significantly lower than that of native born children and the neighborhood (Efra Brei\u00f0holt) had very few available sports facilities for the kids. Knowledge of available discount cards (Fr\u00edstundakort) turned out to be little among immigrant parents. Research finding were published in a report by the same name.
