immigrant networks
Newcomer support systems
Immigrant networks are the informal connections among people who have relocated from the same country or region, providing mutual support for housing, jobs, and navigating unfamiliar systems.
These networks explain why immigrants from particular places cluster in specific neighborhoods or industries: Her cousin's immigrant network helped her find work within a week of arriving.
The term appears in sociology and policy discussions about migration patterns.
