Growing up in Diverse Societies provides a comprehensive analysis
of the integration of children of immigrants in England, Germany,
the Netherlands and Sweden. It is based on the Children of
Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries
(CILS4EU), which included harmonised interviews with almost 19,000
14-15-year-olds. Growing up in Diverse Societies studies the life
situation, social relations, and attitudes of adolescents in
different ethnic minority groups, and compares these systematically
to the majority youth in the four countries. The chapters cover a
wide range of aspects of integration, all addressing comparisons
between origin groups, generations, and destination countries, and
elucidating processes accounting for differences. The results
challenge much of the current thinking on the state of integration.
In some respects, such as own economic means, delinquency, and
mental health, children of immigrants are surprisingly similar to
majority youth, while in other respects there are large
dissimilarities. There are also substantial differences between
ethnic minority groups, with the economic and cultural distance of
the origin regions to the destination country being a key factor.
For some outcomes, such as language proficiency or host country
identification, dissimilarities seem to narrow over generations,
but this does not hold for other outcomes, such as religiosity and
attitudes. Remaining differences partly depend on ethnic
segregation, some on socioeconomic inequality, and others on
parental influences. Most interestingly, Growing up in Diverse
Societies finds that the four destination countries, though
different in their immigration histories, policy approaches, and
contextual conditions, are on the whole rather similar in the
general patterns of integration and in the underlying processes.
