On the wrong track? Perceived track mismatch among ethnic minority and majority students in the German education system
Is My Wage Fair? Validating Fairness Perceptions among Women and Men
The authors examine gender differences in perceptions of the fairness of one's own pay. This work differs from previous studies, as the authors not only assess whether women are as likely as men to perceive their pay as unfair at the same absolute wage levels. Instead, they use an innovative methodology based on linked employer-employee data. This makes it possible to compare subjective perceptions of (un)fair pay with the predicted pay of compar…
Newcomers' self-assessed visibility and their perceptions of discrimination. The case of Turks and Syrians in Germany
Using survey data collected among recent Turkish and Syrian immigrants in Germany, we examine the relationship between newcomers' self-assessed phenotypic visibility, their level of education, and their perceptions of discrimination. Theoretically, we argue that individuals who can be identified by visible cues, such as skin colour or a headscarf, face more and more persistent discrimination than others. In addition, according to the 'integration…
Highly skilled and highly skeptical? How education and origin shape newcomers' relationship with their new home
This article explores how level of education and region of origin (EU versus non-EU) shape newcomers' perceptions of being welcome and treated fairly upon arrival, as well as their feelings of closeness and belonging to majority members and their long-term commitment to their new country of residence. Our results show that the impact of these factors - education and EU background - varies between these dimensions in shaping individuals' attitudes…
Attitudes about containment measures during the 2020/2021 coronavirus pandemic: Self-interest, or broader political orientations
We analyze opposition towards Covid-19 containment measures by assessing the role of self-interest, sociotropic threat, political predispositions, and infection rates. We base our analyses on two waves of survey data from Germany ( N = 3258/3201). Our measure of self-interest includes objective indicators for and subjective perceptions of individual threat from containment measures in the economic sphere and in the family and health domains. We a…
How Often Have You Felt Disadvantaged? Explaining Perceived Discrimination
Based on longitudinal data from Germany, we analyze how perceptions of discrimination change once migrants’ integration evolves. Individuals who identify more strongly with the host country, speak the language, have native friends, and are adequately employed report less discrimination overall. However, group-specific analyses reveal that German-born Turks feel more rather than less discriminated against after their language skills and their iden…
Settlers, target‐earners, young professionals. Distinct migrant types, distinct integration trajectories
In this article, we start out from theoretical concepts about different types of migrants that feature prominently in the immigration literature. By applying latent class analysis to a unique ‘mini‐panel’ data set on recent Polish and Turkish immigrants in Germany, we identify two types of migrants that are in line with the literature, namely settlers and target‐earners. We label a third group that is best described as educational target‐earners:…
Geflüchtete, Familien und ihre Kinder. Warum der Blick auf die Familien und die Kindertagesbetreuung entscheidend ist
Seit 2015 viele Menschen mit Fluchthintergrund nach Deutschland gezogen sind, stand häufig deren Arbeitsmarktintegration im Zentrum des gesellschaftlichen, politischen und wissenschaftlichen Interesses. Lebenslagen und Lebensformen der geflüchteten Familien wurden hingegen viel weniger thematisiert. Dieser Beitrag präsentiert familiendemografische Daten für Geflüchtete der Herkunftsländer Syrien, Afghanistan, Irak und Eritrea und verdeutlicht den…
Assimilation without groups
In "Origins and Destinations", Luthra, Soehl and Waldinger aim at "extending the canon" in research on immigrant integration. They do so by studying group and individual level characteristics across a large number of origin groups, thereby replacing group labels with theoretically relevant variables at the group level. In this review, three challenges in this endeavour are discussed: First of all, the analyses do not allow to disentangle the impa…
Who Is Afraid of Skilled Migrants From Europe? Exploring Support for Immigration Control in Switzerland
The paper analyses the role of economic and cultural threat in exploring support for immigration control in Switzerland. A factorial survey experiment enables us to look into different migrant characteristics. Results show more support for immigration control for Eastern Europeans and low-skilled migrants. However, German migrants do not gain acceptance due to being highly skilled, and their willingness to adapt culturally is crucial for native S…
Migrants' support for welfare state spending in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands
This contribution describes differences between 10 migrant groups and natives in their attitudes towards government spending in three residence countries: Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. Previous research provided evidence that “migrants” as a catch‐all category of people from different origins are in favor of more government spending on social welfare. We study to what extent support for government spending can be explained by self‐intere…

Starting out: New migrants’ socio-cultural integration trajectories in four European destinations
Migration trends are highly dynamic and the recent period has seen a transformation of migration to Europe. Studies of existing migrant stocks provide only limited information on these new migration flows and their implications for receiving societies. In the Norface-funded SCIP project (‘Socio-cultural integration processes among New Immigrants in Europe’), about 8000 recent migrants to four European destinations were surveyed soon after their a…
Between ethnic options and ethnic boundaries – Recent Polish and Turkish migrants' identification with Germany
We describe migrants' early patterns of identification with the receiving society and explain why these differ by migrants' origins. Using longitudinal data from a novel survey among recent immigrants from Poland and Turkey in Germany enables us to analyse the nexus between social assimilation, ethnic boundaries and identification more directly than previous studies. Theoretically, we start out from assimilation theory and its assumption that mig…
Turning back to Turkey – Or Turning the Back on Germany: Remigration Intentions and Behavior of Turkish Immigrants in Germany between 1984 and 2011
This contribution analyzes whether remigration intentions and actual remigration to their homeland on the part of Turkish migrants to Germany have evolved over time, and if so, why. To do so, event-history analysis is applied to data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). Findings reveal an increase in remigration intentions as well as rates of return for first generation migrants after the turn of the millennium. Before that, both such in…

Zwischen Säkularisierung und religiöser Reorganisation – Eine Analyse der Religiosität türkischer und polnischer Neuzuwanderer in Deutschland
God Can Wait – New Migrants in Germany Between Early Adaptation and Religious Reorganization
We analyse migration‐related changes in religiosity among new Polish and Turkish migrants in Germany by using data from an international project on Socio‐Cultural Integration Processes of New Immigrants in Europe ( SCIP ). The study confirms that after migration, both groups experience a decrease in religious practices that is more pronounced among Muslim Turks than among Catholic Poles and more pertinent for worship attendance than for prayer. A…
Not In My Kitchen? Ethnic Discrimination and Discrimination Intentions in Shared Housing among University Students in Germany
This article looks into the scope and causes of both ethnic discrimination intentions and discriminatory behaviour in the sphere of close private interactions. In practice, German students' willingness to move into flats which would be shared with a Turkish student is analysed by conducting a direct survey, a factorial survey and a field experiment. Results show that, independent of the method used, ethnic discrimination against Turks does not, o…
A Life-Course Perspective on Migration and Integration: Edited by M. Wingens, M. Windzio, H. de Valk, and C. Aybek
A Life-Course Perspective on Migration and Integration'' is an edited volume that compiles a number of articles on immigrants' integration. It is an ambitious book whose main goal is to demonstrate that the life course approach is a useful paradigm for this research field that has so far not received the attention it deserves. In order to show this, the editors start out with an introductory chapter on the basic assumptions of the life course per…

Religiosity and gender equality: Comparing natives and Muslim migrants in Germany
In European public debates, Islam is often described as an impediment to gender equality. By using data from surveys conducted in Germany, we analyse the role of high levels of individual religiosity in explaining Turks'and Germans' approval of gender equality and the way Turkish and German couples share household tasks. Results suggest that, for both groups, individuals with strong religious commitments are less likely than secular individuals t…
Reactive Ethnicity” or “Assimilation”? Statements, Arguments, and First Empirical Evidence for Labor Migrants in Germany
In this article, we scrutinize the often stated assumption that labor migrants in Germany turn away from integration and reaffirm their ethnicity by examining their identificational, cognitive, and social assimilation processes. Using data from the German Socio-economic Panel, we present trend analyses of different hostland- and homeland-related indicators for the past fifteen years. Results are presented separately for first- and second-generati…

Rights or Identity? Naturalization Processes among “Labor Migrants” in Germany
The determinants of the decision to naturalize for first and second generation “labor migrants” in Germany are examined. We assume that Turkish migrants’ comparatively high naturalization rate cannot be explained by the legal advantages they gain by naturalizing. We argue instead that naturalization offers an opportunity for individual upward mobility to Turkish migrants who have achieved a high level of individual assimilation. Using data from t…

Apathy, adaptation or ethnic mobilisation? On the attitudes of a politically excluded group
This paper examines political attitudes and behavioural intentions of immigrants in the field of voting behaviour. Based on a quantitative survey of the population of Turkish origin in Mannheim, Germany, and data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we show that the political attitudes of immigrants reflect their marginal legal status: immigrants show a lower interest in the political processes of the host country and a lower identificat…
