Second-generation migrants in Germany: A study on the influence of contextual factors on career choice
- Migration plays a significant role in today's world. A literature review has shown that second generation migrants are an understudied group in Germany, despite their significant presence in German society. This paper aims to explore how culture, family, and religion affect the career choices of second-generation migrants in Germany. To address this question, a qualitative research study was conducted. Eight second-generation migrants with diverse cultural backgrounds were interviewed to gather their perspectives on how culture, family, and religion have influenced their career choices. To identify key themes related to these three factors, a qualitative analysis was used. These themes can assist career counselors and German policymakers in understanding second-generation migrants' career decisions and how to provide better support. The study also provides input for future research on second-generation migrants in Germany.
