  1. The Second Generation in EuropeEducation and the transition to the labour market. Maurice Crul and Jens Schneider Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies (IMES) University of Amsterdam

  2. The Idea of the International Comparison • We usually think about integration issues within a national or local frame work. • Invitation to think out outside of your own local and national framework. • Europe can be considered as a natural laboratory. States, and sometimes cities within states, have practiced different ways of including children of immigrants in educational institutions. • We explore what seems to work best across cities and countries.

  3. Turkish second generation • The Turkish second generation is the most interesting group for an international comparison. • It is the largest group • It is the group that is present in the most countries • The low social-economic background of the parents. • These are all important conditions to test how inclusive the different school systems and school policies are.

  4. Why not look at the differences with the comparison group? • Our focus here is on the importance of the integration context and not on the characteristics of the groups. • In further publications we will also look at the educational differences with the comparison group in each city.

  5. Countries or Cities? • The TIES survey is executed in two big cities in each participating country. • Educational position: If it comes to educational results there are in general no big differences between the two cities within one country. • The exception is France. • School setting: Differences between cities do appear in the way schools provide support, have a welcoming climate or are more or less segregated.

  6. Emphasis on School and Labour Market Careers • The TIES survey makes it possible to reconstruct school and labour market careers in detail. • This allows us to look at development of the careers over time and the importance of the different selection mechanisms across the countries.

  7. School system differences accross Europe • Starting age in school • Selection age in secondary school • Permeability of the school system (incl. the possibility to take a longer or alternative route to higher education) • How the transition to the labour market is organized

  17. Transition to the labour market: active labour market population • Position directly after full time school • Current position in the labour market

  18. Concluding Remarks • The international comparison shows that we need to put the spotlights on how we organize our schools and school systems. • The clear differences in school results invite us to focus on best practices across the countries. • There is not clear hierarchy between countries. • The aim of the conference workshops in the coming days is to inform you about best practice and to start an international dialogue about the implications for national and local policies.
