Problematic areas Socialisation (living in 2 cultures, language, family, social environment) School environment (lack of parental cooperation with school) structural aspects (school system, counselling/ choice of suitable occupation) labour market situation

Conclusions

German citizenship does not in itself guarantee equal opportunities for migrants.

Legal and social framework differ for particular immigrant communities.

Existing „good-practice“projects on national, regional and local level need a long term perspective.

Young people with migrant backgrounds grow up in a social environment characterized by extremely high unemployment levels and a lack of vocational qualification. There are few good examples of successful career paths to follow.

For qualified educational and vocational guidance, cross-cultural competence is as important as the knowledge of vocational training systems.

Systematic guidance and counselling for parents and children with migrant background at pre-school and the early school stages is a prerequisite for a successful start and the social integration of the young generation.
