| description | Immigration to Europe from many parts of Africa and the Middle East has intensified over the past years. It highlights the need for these populations to integrate into new cultures and countries. This study explores the factors affecting the capabilities and integration of Algerian immigrants into French society. The Northern suburbs of Marseille, an area where large communities of Algerians live, was selected as the study area. A sample of 14 individuals from different households who had been in France for at least a year were purposely selected to participate. The capabilities and social exclusion approaches were used to understand the experience of Algerian immigrants as a result of their being foreigners in a new country. The findings revealed that Algerian migrants experienced several deprivations related to money and finances, safety, social contact with other citizens, and jobs. This situation has a negative impact on their life choices and opportunities as well as their social integration. Effective provision of support and social assistance is needed, as well as a reflection about immigration in France to facilitate the integration of immigrants into French society. |
