“…It is also noteworthy that, after considering parents' gender ideologies, the GEM distance between origin and receiving country is not statistically significant among immigrant adolescents, irrespective of gender. In line with Kretschmer (2018), parents appear to constitute the main transmission channel of origin country's gender culture. In line with Hypothesis 1b, adolescents whose mothers were employed reported significantly more egalitarian ideologies, with associations varying between 18% and 37% of a standard deviation.…”

Adolescence is a crucial life course phase for identity formation, and youths’ gender ideologies significantly predict gendered behaviours and longer-term transitions. With Western post-industrial societies becoming more culturally diverse, the present study provides novel cross-nationally comparative evidence on gender socialisation processes among native and immigrant youth in Sweden, Germany, England, and the Netherlands, which vary in gender and migration policies and cultures. In addition to parents’ gender ideologies, the study also considers classmates’ gender ideologies as factors shaping 14-year-old adolescents’ gender ideologies. The analysis draws on 5917 adolescent-parent dyads from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study which we link with country-level gender empowerment measures from the United Nations. Remarkably, with the exception of native female adolescents in England and Germany, parents tend to report slightly more egalitarian beliefs than adolescents across the four countries. OLS regressions show that parents’ and classmates’ gender ideologies correlate significantly with adolescents’ ideologies, with little variation across gender and immigrant groups in all four countries. From a policy and practical point of view, the great similarity in the intergenerational transmission of gender beliefs across diverse family backgrounds as well as cultural and policy contexts seem remarkable.

“…Compared to other Western and non-Western regions, in Europe religion plays an everdecreasing role (Inglehart 1997;Röder 2014). Moreover, as religiosity often coincides with less egalitarian values (Diehl, Koenig, and Ruckdeschel 2009;Kretschmer 2018), secularisation should go hand in hand with more egalitarian values. According to assimilation theory (Alba and Nee 2003), migrants who end up in a secular host society tend to become more pro-egalitarianism over time and generations, i.e.…”

“…Primary socialisation concerns the transfer of norms and values through one's parents or grandparents, whereas secondary socialisation denotes the transfer through institutions such as school or church (see Lubbers, Jaspers, and Ultee 2009). Not surprisingly, several studies show the importance of intergenerational transmission in the maintenance of religiosity and gender equality attitudes among migrant communities Diehl, Koenig, and Ruckdeschel 2009;Huschek, de Valk, and Liefbroer 2011;Kretschmer 2018;Spierings 2015).…”

Turkish migrants are one of the largest minority groups within Europe, the majority of which is Muslim. Radical right politicians stress the threat of Islam for what they consider European culture. Yet we know that migrant communities can adapt to the destination society culturally, albeit not always and in complex ways. This study aims advance our understand of this complex matter, as it analyses how such attitudinal developments take place and in what way religion plays a role. Through acculturation processes, where Muslim migrants become more secular and consequently more open to gender equal norms, and/or through decoupling, where migration leads to weaker connections between religious identity and patriarchal gender norms. With the use of the 2000Families data on Turkish Muslim Europeanmigrants and Turkish-Muslim stayers, we find that the connection between religiosity and gender equality attitudes is genderdependent. Across the board findings indicate limited support for both mechanisms. However, we do cautiously conclude that we find both acculturation and decoupling processes among migrant men with regard to individual religiosity, while we find decoupling between communal religiosity and gender-equality attitudes in migrant women. This suggests migrants undergo a range of acculturation processes simultaneously, but that the linkages for men and women differ between these dimensions.

“…national identity and voting behaviour, see Broughton and Napel 2000; secularism, see Banfi, Gianni, and Giugni 2016), and attitudes (e.g. gender roles, see Kretschmer 2018). Existing research suggests that affiliation with Western religions, such as Christianity, is associated with better outcomes for immigrants, whereas affiliation with non-Western religions, including but not limited to Islam, may serve as an obstacle to acculturation (Wuthnow and Hackett 2003;Foner and Alba 2008;Maryam 2011;Breton 2012).…”

Although previous studies have examined the role of religion in immigrant integration, little systematic knowledge is available on how much and through which mechanisms religion facilitates or hinders immigrant socioeconomic and cultural integration. The papers in this collection explore the role of religion in the socioeconomic and cultural integration of immigrants and minorities from a cross-national perspective, with a particular focus on the experiences of immigrant youth. The formative years of adolescence and early adulthood serve as the foundation for individuals' later integration trajectories. In this introductory editorial, we describe the methodological challenges associated with the study of the role of religion in minorities' integration, and then identify five mechanisms that are prominent in the literature on the effects of religion. We then summarise the key findings reported in the papers included in this collection, and show how they help us understand these mechanisms. These papers highlight variations in the impact of minority religions on facilitating or hampering integration, and help clarify inferences regarding the significance of discrimination against minorities who have certain religious affiliations, such as Muslims. They also underscore the role of social, cultural and economic contexts in determining how religious affiliation is associated with integration outcomes.
