“…Third, political organisation of Muslims in the Netherlands is more strongly endorsed among Muslim immigrants originating from Turkey than from Morocco. This corresponds with research showing that Turkish compared to Moroccan immigrants have a relatively dense organisational network, take a more group-based integration and political approach (Michon and Vermeulen 2013;Vermeulen, Brünger, and Van de Walle 2010), and more often experience religious-based discrimination (Maliepaard and Gijsberts 2012).…”

“…People of Turkish origin form the numerically largest immigrantorigin group in the Netherlands and compared to the Moroccans they have a relatively dense organisational network, have taken a more group-based integration approach, and tend to be politically active along ethnic lines (Michon and Vermeulen 2013;Vermeulen, Brünger, and Van de Walle 2010;see also Schönwälder 2013). Their relatively high level of cohesiveness and group-based resources makes it easier to gain access to the political arena and to participate politically.…”

“…Yet, relatively few studies have focused on the perception of Muslims themselves, and in relation to political representation and organisation in particular (e.g. Fleischmann and Phalet 2012;Michon and Vermeulen 2013;Verkuyten 2011). In the present research I use existing survey data from three studies to examine the support for democratic political Muslim organisation among Muslim immigrants in the Netherlands (Studies 1, 2, and 3) and Germany (Study 3).…”

Using data from three survey studies, this paper examines the support for the democratic political organisation of Muslims among Muslim immigrants in the Netherlands (Studies 1, 2, and 3) and Germany (Study 3). Using a social psychological perspective, support is examined in relation to religious group identification, Muslim linked fate, perceived discrimination, fundamentalist religious belief, and host national identification. The findings in all three studies show support for the political organisation of Muslims. Furthermore, higher religious group identification and higher linked fate were associated with stronger support. More discrimination and more fundamentalist beliefs were also associated with stronger support, and part of these associations was mediated by linked fate. National identification was not associated with support for the political organisation of Muslims. Census projections for countries of the European Union indicate that there will be an increasingly diverse population in the coming years (Eurostat 2010). This raises important and urgent questions, including the question of political participation and representation. In Europe, members of immigrant-origin groups are clearly underrepresented in political institutions and this is not a simple reflection of their recent arrival, delayed acquisition of citizenship, educational qualifications, social experiences, or cultural attitudes (Bloemraad and Schönwälder 2013). This underrepresentation can be seen as a democratic deficit and could increase political alienation among immigrant-origin groups (Pantoja and Segura 2003).For strategic or principle reasons, mainstream political parties are increasingly recognising the importance to represent immigrant-origin individuals in their membership and candidacy. This can attract new voters from immigrant-origin groups and increase a party's attractiveness for previous voters (Rocha et al. 2010). In countries with a multi-party political system, immigrants and minorities also have the possibility of participating in the democratic process by organising politically along ethnic or religious lines.

“…Previous studies found that Moroccans are more disadvantaged than Turks in terms of finding employment (Andriessen, 2012b; Gracia et al., ). In addition, it is known that Turkish immigrants and their Dutch‐born children typically have a “group‐based incorporation strategy” with significantly more participation in ethnic organizations, while Dutch‐Moroccans have remained much more individualistic and less dependent on their co‐ethnic ties (Michon and Vermeulen, ). These community structures tend to affect employment patterns as a substantial number of Dutch‐Turks own small businesses or work in family firms that typically serve a co‐ethnic network of customers (e.g.…”

Labour Market Disadvantages of Second‐Generation Turks and Moroccans in the Netherlands: Before and during the Great Recession

This study uses two waves of panel data to examine the labour market integration of children of Moroccan and Turkish immigrants in the Netherlands. The data show a persisting educational attainment gap in terms of high school completion and post‐secondary attendance. The analyses of prime working‐age respondents indicate substantial ethnic penalties that accrue from the hiring process: controlling for educational background and demographics, the youngest cohort of the second generation is less likely to have employment than the native Dutch. We improve on earlier research on ethnic penalties in the Dutch labour market by including measures of precarious work – the chance of avoiding of non‐contracted work – and by comparing minorities’ standing in a pre‐recession (2009) and a peak‐recession (2013) labour market. The results indicate increasing employment disadvantages for both second‐generation groups at a time of labour surplus.
