Despite the fact that immigrants make up a considerable proportion of the population in many countries, little is known about how their mental health is affected by stock markets in their home countries. We use panel data from the Understanding Society dataset to conduct a longitudinal study investigating this relationship for foreign-born residents in the UK, during the period 2010 to 2021. We provide novel evidence that immigrants’ subjective mental health is negatively impacted by stock market volatility in their home countries. This effect weakens as immigrants assimilate into the host country and increases with the immigrants’ age when they first arrive in the UK. We also find that diagnosed clinical depression as an objective measure of mental health is not affected. We recommend that immigrants be provided with both psychoeducation and financial education upon arrival in the host country to alleviate mental health issues.

In the last decades, global labour standards have been characterised by a “race to the bottom” due to Globalisation. In this context, the rise of modern slavery as a concern is even more evident and the result of this trend is a progressive shifting of the power from workers to employers and an increased imbalance between forces. In this situation, the economic role of the State, once prominent and leading, has been engrossed by corporations. Although modern slavery is considered an “urgent societal problem”, the attention of Management and Business research on the field is patchy. While the research about slavery in Supply Chain Management is growing, indeed, still palpable is the lack of attention on other subjects and their connection with modern slavery.

Part of this lack of attention is probably because the concept of modern slavery is still not well-defined.

Although many invitations to start conversations have been made, the IB research is still silent or not completely open on modern slavery.

This Research seeks to investigate how modern slavery is explored and addressed in Higher Education Institutions.

Over the years, there has been a rapid increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) originating from emerging economies. This has motivated researchers to investigate the determinants of FDI in these economies. However, extant literature indicates that research on outward FDI from emerging African multinationals has been overlooked and under-researched despite evidence indicating that outward FDI from African countries has seen a remarkable increase in recent years. Therefore, this study seeks to address this gap by looking at determinants of outward FDI from an emerging African country perspective, hence the choice of South Africa as the focus of the research. Using a multilevel framework that analyses determinants of outward FDI at two different levels of analysis (country and firm) the study will adopt a quantitative approach and employ a panel data econometric framework based on secondary data collected on a set of macroeconomic and institutional explanatory variables. The period of analysis is from 2002 to 2021.The multilevel approach allows for a better understanding of outward FDI determinants and the strategic interplay of variables at different levels of analysis.
