ThirdGen: The Third Generation: Dissimilation from Origins and Assimilation into Destination

研究显示，来自穆斯林占多数的国家的移民群体要么正在缓慢融入，要么没有完全融入西欧目的地。拟议的全面和新颖的研究设计将解决这一问题，着眼于很少被研究的第三代人，以揭示移民的持久影响和变革性影响。第三代人对原籍概念的异化将通过将移民的孙辈与原籍国土耳其的祖父母和非移民同行进行比较来揭示代际变化和连续性。它将考虑多个目的地：德国、荷兰、比利时、法国、奥地利、英国、瑞士、丹麦和瑞典。第三代将审查土耳其客工的孙辈，土耳其客工是最大的非欧盟侨民，在欧洲拥有500多万成员。随着第三代人即将成年，第三代人将调查两个性别领域，即社会经济成就和家庭过程，即代际关怀、性别态度、宗教信仰和行为，并将它们与非移民土耳其同行进行比较(第三代人数据集：N=4672)。该项目将采访独特的2000个家庭数据集中确定的孙辈，追踪欧洲50,000名移民家庭成员和土耳其非移民家庭成员的三代人。这项对外来工人孙辈的创新的大规模和多地点检查将产生宝贵的数据，以解决关于代际传播的不同模式和一般过程的问题，特别关注来源国和目的地国的第三代。该项目是跨学科的，借鉴了社会学、人口学、社会心理学和移民研究。它将在融合和国际移民研究、社会学、人口学和心理学方面开辟新的天地。调查结果将为政策提供信息，并提高公众对移徙长期变革性影响的理解和认识。

Research shows migrant groups from Muslim majority countries are either integrating slowly or not integrating fully into Western European destinations. The proposed comprehensive and novel research design will tackle this problem, looking at the seldom-studied third generation to reveal the enduring impact and transformative influence of migration. ThirdGen's dissimilation from origins conceptual perspective will shed light on generational change and continuity by comparing the grandchildren of migrants to their grandparents and non-migrant counterparts in the origin country: Turkey. It will consider multiple destinations: Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, UK, Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden.ThirdGen will examine grandchildren of Turkish guest workers, the largest non-EU diaspora with well over five million members in Europe. As the third generation is coming of age, ThirdGen will survey two gendered domains, namely socioeconomic attainment and family processes, i.e., intergenerational care, gender attitudes, religiosity and behaviours, comparing them to their non-migrant Turkish counterparts (ThirdGen dataset: N=4,672). The project will interview grandchildren identified in the unique 2000 Families dataset, tracing three generations of 50,000 migrant family members in Europe and non-migrants in Turkey.This innovative large-scale and multi-sited examination of the grandchildren of guest workers will generate invaluable data to address questions on the differential patterns and generic processes of intergenerational transmission with a special focus on the third generation across origin and destination countries. The project is interdisciplinary, drawing on sociology, demography, social psychology and migration studies. It will break new ground in integration and international migration studies, sociology, demography and psychology. The findings will inform policies and improve public understanding and awareness of the long-term transformative impact of migration.
