Summary:

The second generation of Turkish and Moroccan origins in the Netherlands is coming of age. As the launch publication of The Integration of the European Second Generation, also known as the Ties project, this book presents groundbreaking research carried out in 2006 and 2007 among Dutch-born children of immigrants living in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Like the many other studies being initiated by Ties, this volume describes the unique challenges and opportunities that the second generation faces, particularly as they differ from those experienced by a comparison peer group whose parents were both born in the survey country itself. The Position of the Turkish and Moroccan Second Generation in Amsterdam and Rotterdam gives unprecedented insight into the social situation and the views of a dynamic group of eighteen to 35 year olds as they transition from education to the labour market and begin to create a whole new generation to come.
