UP2YOUTH - Transitions of youth with a migration background |
|
|
|
One thematic strand of the European research project UP2YOUTH - Youth as Actor of Social Change is dealing with the transitions to work of young people with a migration background and from ethnic minorities.
The working group is trying to answer the following research questions:
Dimensions
|
Group specific questions |
| Individualisation |
- How
do young migrants and youth from ethnic minorities manage education and
labour market entrance? What are their specific problems and coping
strategies?
- Which (discriminating) limitations are ethnic minority youth facing in education systems and Labour markets?
- How
are they supported by their families and to what extent are issues
(education, work, sex, leisure etc.) negotiated in the relation between
family and the young person)? What gender differences exist in these
respects?
|
Learning
|
- What are the challenges of ethnic minority youth regarding involvement in (late-modern) educational contexts?
- What and were do ethnic minority youth actually learn?
- What are the prerequisites of successful ethnic minority youth?
|
| Culture |
- Which
forms of youth (and peer) culture are developed? In which non-formal
and informal contexts does learning take place and how does different
contexts contribute to their social integration? How are these cultural
contexts recognised by societal institutions?
|
Policy Level
|
- Which
conditions (possibilities) of individual agency are provided for ethnic
minority youth in different transition regimes? What forms of interplay
between education systems, labour markets and modes of integration can
be found and how do they influence transitions to work?
- How can management of diversity be conceptualised without reproducing segmentation and inequality?
