“…The intended temporality of the guest workers phenomenon resulted in minimum to no investment in learning the Dutch language and system (Guiraudon, 2014). Yet, whereas many of the Southern Europeans returned, the guest workers from Turkey and Morocco largely remained in the Netherlands, along with their families, whom they reunited with in the 1970s and 1980s (Bruquetas‐Callejo et al, 2011). Many older adults with Turkish and Moroccan backgrounds face low‐socio‐economic conditions and language barriers, often struggling to navigate the Dutch system (Pot et al, 2018; Suurmond et al, 2016).…”

Social policy is most effective when evidence‐based. In this research, we scrutinise 11 surveys to produce evidence on the subjective well‐being (SWB) of older migrants in the Netherlands. The descriptive analysis and literature review revealed that the study of the diversity among older migrants is hindered by several factors, including the inclusion of a limited number of distinct migrant groups, their almost exclusive comparison to non‐migrants, and a focus on first‐generation and urban‐based migrants. Different concepts are used for three dimensions of SWB, both migrant‐specific and general. The validity of concepts and measurement instruments is not well examined. By means of multi‐group analysis, we demonstrate that the overarching concept of SWB is multidimensional and cannot be easily used to compare different groups of migrants. In conclusion, we argue that survey data can be used to further refine the concept of SWB, compare differences between and within migrant groups and over time, and ultimately inform social policy better.

During the 1980s, certain large migrant groups were therefore expanded to be considered distinct ethnic minorities 23 (Guiraudon et al, 2005), and it was possible to get mother-tongue instruction for both migrant children and children of migrants upwards of five hours a week (Driessen, 2000), but with considerable variation between schools and municipalities.…”

Diop (LEND) is Assistant Professor at the Department of Politics and Society with a main affiliation to the Centre for Comparative Welfare States (CCWS) and the Center for Displacement, Migration and Integration (MIX). LEND's research primarily focuses on the areas of modelling asylum seeker flows, migration flows and their consequences for integration. His current research aims at investigating contact between migrants and natives in the workplace and its consequences for integration (this project is called MN-Contact and is led by Prof. Christian Albrekt Larsen and funded by DFF). Furthermore, LEND is involved in the Horizon2020 project, FUME (Future Migration Scenarios for Europe), which aims at gaining a deeper understanding of migration by revisiting the patterns, motivation and modalities of migration from the perspective both of sending countries and receiving countries. LEND has also previously been employed as a postdoc at the

Educating to belong: Policy and practice of mother-tongue instruction for migrant students in the Danish welfare state

This article explores how the development of mother-tongue instruction (MTI) policies in the Danish welfare state have created varying notions of difference and sameness in the schooling of migrant students and how they experience these notions locally in practice. Based on an analysis of MTI’s policy history and oral history interviews with former migrant students, we analyse MTI policy development within the Danish welfare state as a primary case and discusses whether these developments seem to be unique to the Danish welfare state by considering (West) Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden as a comparative perspective. Noting the paradoxes and dynamics of the welfare-state policy of ‘school for all under one roof’ at the intersections between the policy and practice level, we posit that migrant students are regulated as a homogeneous group that is expected to be ‘the same’ but is simultaneously considered to be ‘different’ from other, majority students. The findings thus reveal the paradox of welfare-state education policies and practice: while macro scale policy for migrant education aims to emphasise difference through MTI, the social consequences at the micro level show the opposite; namely, that MTI produces feelings of sameness and belonging among migrant students.
