ABSTRACT
Children of immigrants develop a wide range of social relations with other individuals and social institutions in the cities and neighbourhoods where they grow up. This chapter gives an overview of some of the social relations that descendants of Turkish and SSYU immigrants and respondents from the comparison group were brought up into and maintain up to the present day. Since we are primarily interested in the ethnic 1 makeup of various social relations among the TIES survey respondents, it is best to distinguish between primary group relations, developed within small groups whose members share close, personal and enduring bonds, and secondary group social relations, which are less personal and do not involve sustained intensive contact among individuals.
