This open access book comparatively analyses intergenerational
social mobility in immigrant families in Europe. It is based on
qualitative in-depth research into several hundred biographies and
professional trajectories of young people with an immigrant
working-class background, who made it into high-prestige
professions. The biographies were collected and analysed by a
consortium of researchers in nine European countries from Norway to
Spain. Through these analyses, the book explores the possibilities
of cross-country comparisons of how trajectories are related to
different institutional arrangements at the national and local
level. The analysis uncovers the interaction effects between
structural/institutional settings and specific individual
achievements and family backgrounds, and how these individuals
responsed to and navigated successfully through sector-specific
pathways into high-skilled professions, such as becoming a lawyer
or a teacher. By this, it also explains why these trajectories of
professional success and upward mobility have been so exceptional
in the second generation of working-class origins, and it tells us
a lot also about exclusion mechanisms that marked the school and
professional careers of children of immigrants who went to school
in the 1970s to 2000s in Europe - and still do.
