Ehen und nichteheliche Lebensgemeinschaften im Lebensverlauf von Deutschen und türkischen Staatsbürgern in Deutschland

The Integration of the Second Generation in Germany: Results of the TIES Survey on the Descendants of Turkish and Yugoslavian Immigrants

“…Nonetheless, the interviewees of the second generation have shorter phases of cohabitation before marrying than their counterparts in the control group. This coincides with the findings of other studies (see Naderi 2008). In partner relationships in all three groups surveyed, women are on average two years younger than their male partners.…”

Familialistische vs. individualistische Partnerwahl. Eine Untersuchung der Partnerschaftsqualität bei türkischstämmigen Personen.

“…Ein weiteres zu kontrollierendes Merkmal ist der Ehestatus des Paares. Andernfalls wäre nicht auszuschließen, dass Paare mit einer individualistischen Partnerwahl nur deshalb eine geringere Anerkennung von den Familien erfahren, weil sie öfter in einer nicht-ehelichen Partnerschaft leben und damit einer Lebensform entsprechen, die auf wenig Akzeptanz in der türkischstämmigen Bevölkerung Deutschlands stößt (Naderi 2008). Außerdem könnte es sein, dass eine individualistische Partnerwahl häufiger mit einer interethnischen Partnerschaft einhergeht, und die sprachlichen Barrieren sich negativ auf die Beziehungsqualität zwischen der Partnerin oder dem Partner und den Eltern auswirken.…”

Partnership Living Arrangements of Immigrants and Natives in Germany

“…While many studies in Germany and European countries have focused on the socio-economic sphere, investigating migrants' educational success (Kristen, 2014 ; Kuhnt, 2017 ), labor market behaviors (Kogan, 2011 ), and social well-being (Kuhnt and Wengler, 2019 ), an increasing number of studies acknowledge the relevance of the family domain: e.g., migrants' fertility (Milewski, 2010 ; Krapf and Wolf, 2015 ; Kreyenfeld and Krapf, 2017 ; Kulu et al, 2017 ), marriage formation (González-Ferrer, 2006 ; Kalter and Schroedter, 2010 ; Weißmann and Maddox, 2016 ), cohabitation (Hannemann and Kulu, 2014 ; Hannemann et al, 2020 ), and divorce behavior (Milewski and Kulu, 2014 ). However, information about the prevalence of living without a partner or of cohabiting among immigrants in Germany is rare (e.g., Naderi, 2008 ). This is surprising, as Germany is one of the countries with the highest proportions of migrants in Europe: The share of the population who did not acquire German citizenship by birth, or who have a parent who was not born a German citizen, was 25.5% (20.8 million individuals) in 2018 (Destatis, 2019b ).…”

“…Empirical research analyzing migrants' partnership living arrangements is scarce. Overall, the results of existing studies indicate that the partnership living arrangements of first-generation immigrants from traditional countries, which are characterized by traditional gender norms and a high level of religiosity, who migrated to less traditional countries have a lower incidence of cohabitation, and are more likely than natives to be married [Rahnu et al ( 2015 ) for Russian immigrants in Estonia; Milewski and Hamel ( 2010 ) for Turkish immigrants in France; Naderi ( 2008 ) for Turkish immigrants in Germany; De Valk and Liefbroer ( 2007 ) for immigrants of Turkish and Moroccan origin in the Netherlands; Berrington ( 1994 ) for immigrants of South Asian origin in the UK]. These findings offer support for the socialization hypothesis.…”
