Early school tracking and workplace ceilings drive Muslim integration demands

Evidence

In Germany, for example, informants complained about the tendency to put Turkish children at young age on paths to vocational training and not university education. In the Netherlands, the phrase “glass ceiling” was invoked to explain the difficulties Muslim immigrants face in the Dutch workplace. Expanding socio-economic opportunities in their ho~t society is an express goal of many Muslim immigrant organizations. — Michael A. Reynolds and Thomas D.
