ABSTRACT
This book presents a research report on the results of the TIES survey conducted in Germany in 2008. It elaborates various aspects of the integration of the second generation with a Turkish and Yugoslavian migration background in Berlin and Frankfurt. Topics covered include educational careers and educational outcomes, labour market positions, segregation and housing, ethnic and cultural orientations, social relations, and family formation and partner relationships. The focus of the report is the description and classification of quantitatively ascertained empirical data. It discusses a broad range of issues from migration research concerning the integration process of second generations. The relevance of this sort of research lies partly in its potential to clarify whether or not the German-born children of labour migrants have the same chances and opportunities as the children of native-born parents. A first, but important approach to answer this question is the following extensive description of second-generation migrants in various areas of German society.
