Do second-generation Turkish migrants in Germany assimilate into the middle class?

Abstract: The understanding of career paths of migrants is crucial for gaining deeper insights into assimilation processes. However, previous studies in Germany have paid little attention to middle-class assimilation and the career sequences of the second generation of migrants. This paper focuses on early employment career patterns of the children of guest workers, both men and women and especially those of Turkish origin, in comparison to native Germans. Using the German Socioeconomic Panel data set, I apply sequence … Show more

“…Whether a child attends a vocational or a university-track secondary school in Germany is based primarily on teacher recommendations at the end of 4th or 6th grade (depending on the federal state), a decision that can greatly impact the educational and professional opportunities for the rest of that child's life (Hartmann, 2016). Roughly one in every two children attends Gymnasium from families wherein both parents have German citizenship, yet that number drops to one in five among children who have at least one parent without German citizenship (Aybek, 2013).…”

If, thus, the respondents do not succeed in establishing ties with native-Germans, they might keep ties to their old peer group, to people with a Turkish family background, who often only have a lower education.…”

“…Many children of these immigrants from Turkey and the former Yugoslavia that were born in Germany have entered the education system or the labour market. The two groups show distinct patterns of integration in both fields: Turks lag behind in both systems according to numerous studies (Kalter, Granato and Kristen, 2007;Kalter and Granato, 2017;Hartmann, 2016;Diehl, Hunkler and Kristen, 2016). In turn, migrants from the former Yugoslavia have become more similar to natives.…”
