Arbeitsmigranten und die nachfolgenden Generationen zwischen Integration und Ausgrenzung: zur Situation von Ausländern in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland vor dem Hintergrund der internationalen Debatte um Exklusion und Urban Underclass
The central dissertation question is, according to the international debate on Urban Underclass and Exclusion, whether also in Germany the crisis of the labour market and increasing spatial segregation of people with low income will bring about processes of exclusion (understood as multidimensional process) and if foreigners will be especially affected because of their position below average on the labour and housing market. A secondary statistical analysis shows processes of exclusion (precarious job situation, unemployment, poverty) even among those migrants who live in Germany since a long time and the second generation. The casestudy Hannover shows that mainly in the districts of public housing the situation is problematic because there are nearly no possibilities of compensation for processes of exclusion out of labour market. Particularly in these districts for the second and third generation a tension seems to be created between successful normative integration (orientation according to standards of Germany) and inadequate social structure integration
