Labour market position of Turks in the Netherlands and Germany

Original title: Turken in Nederland en Duitsland.

The idea has been in circulation for some time that immigrants in the Netherlands integrate less quickly than in neighbouring countries. Is this really the case? In order to obtain a better impression of the reality, this study compares the labour market position of Turkish people in the Netherlands and Germany. It looks at whether Turkish people in the Netherlands less often have (permanent) jobs than their peers in Germany, and whether there are differences in occupational level. The findings are related among other things to differences in the composition of the Turkish population in the two countries and the prevailing immigration and integration policy.
