Coming of age in Germany among descendants of Turkish immigrants: A mixed-methods study based on the SOEP

这项研究项目是DFG/ANR项目“法国和德国有移民背景的年轻人的职业战略和地位通道”的后续行动。该项目的目的是分析年轻人过渡到成年的过程，特别是那些来自社会弱势背景的人。对于德国，我们能够通过对社会经济小组(SOEP)数据的纵向分析来确定典型的教育、就业和家庭发展轨迹。这些轨迹将作为对已确定轨迹的长期土耳其裔SOEP答复者进行有指导的定性访谈的基础。其目的是为了对这些人的生活历程以及他们对语境因素的处理有一个解释性的理解。四个研究问题构成了这个混合方法项目的核心：首先，我们将根据传记决策和策略以及轨迹中的重要转折点来分析典型的稳定和不稳定轨迹。其次，一个目标是分析在多大程度上可以在量化面板数据中确定转折点。第三，根据前一个项目的结果，我们将确定土耳其移民后裔向上社会流动的决定因素，以及他们的移民传记和对移民国家和/或父母原籍国的取向与不同轨迹的相关性。这项开创性的研究还将有可能探索小组调查中对长期受访者进行定性访谈的调查方法、潜力和后果。

This research project is a follow-up to the DFG/ANR project 'Professional strategies and status passages of young adults with a migration background in France and Germany'. The aim of this project was to analyze young adults’ transitions into adulthood, in particular those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. For Germany, we were able to identify typical educational, employment, and family trajectories through longitudinal analysis of the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) data. These trajectories will serve as the basis for guided qualitative interviews with long-time SOEP respondents of Turkish origin whose trajectories have been identified. The aim is to gain an interpretive understanding of these individuals' life courses as well as their handling with contextual factors. Four research questions form the core of this mixed-methods project: First, we will analyze typical stable and unstable trajectories in light of biographical decisions and strategies as well as significant turning points in the trajectories. Second, one aim is to analyze to what extent turning points can be identified in the quantitative panel data. Third, based on the results of the preceding project, we will identify the determinants of upward social mobility among the descendants of Turkish immigrants and the relevance of their migration biographies and orientations towards the country of immigration and/or country of parental origin for the different trajectories. This pioneer study will also make it possible to explore the survey methodological potentials and consequences of qualitative interviews with long-term respondents in panel surveys.
