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

该研究项目是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”的后续项目。该项目的目的是分析年轻人，特别是来自社会弱势背景的年轻人向成年人的过渡。对于德国，我们能够通过对社会经济面板（SOEP）数据的纵向分析来确定典型的教育、就业和家庭轨迹。这些轨迹将作为指导性定性访谈的基础，与土耳其裔的长期SOEP受访者的轨迹已经确定。其目的是获得这些人的生命历程，以及他们的处理与上下文因素的解释性理解。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。第二，一个目的是分析在何种程度上可以确定在定量面板数据的转折点。第三，根据前一个项目的结果，我们将确定土耳其移民后代向上社会流动的决定因素，以及他们的移民经历和对移民国和/或父母原籍国的不同轨迹的取向的相关性。这一开创性研究还将使人们有可能探讨调查方法的潜力以及在小组调查中与长期答卷人进行定性访谈的后果。

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.
