===Economic===
Ethnic enclave economies are predicated upon aspects of [[economic sociology]] and the [[sociology of immigration]]. Ethnic Enclaves generate a pool of [[social capital]] through which members can access resources that lower the costs of migration. Enclave membership provides economic assistance such as job opportunities and small businesses loans. Small ethnic firms within the enclave provide new immigrants with immediate access to economic opportunities by subverting the [[secondary sector of the economy]] and creating numerous low-wage jobs that are easily accessed by members.<ref name= "Portes, Alejandro"/>
The ethno-centric nature of businesses and firms provides easy integration into enclave economies. Goods and services tend to be offered in the ethnic group's language, while social and cultural norms specific to the host country are not required of employees in the enclave economy. Thus, the ethno-specific nature of enclave economies makes them attractive to new immigrants who are otherwise unable integrate into the mainstream economy.
