ABSTRACT
Agency is presented as a fifth key factor which also influenced bricolage behaviours. Not all individuals with the desire to bricolage or access to wide-ranging resources engaged in bricolage, but those who were able to express their demands appeared to be able to undertake ‘within system’ and ‘added-to-system bricolage’. The diversification of diversity is a key characteristic of superdiversity and implies the need to focus on the intersection between multiple variables including migration status, gender, age, class, employment status, education level and so on. Migration-related factors were a second key influence shaping bricolage tactics. Overall, migrants were more likely than those without a migration background to not engage in any form of bricolage and those without a migration background were more likely to undertake within-system bricolage. Migrants with no permanent residence permit and those with poor language proficiency reported discrimination by healthcare providers more often than other migrants.
