About

The research project wants to examine how young migrants, often in vulnerable situations and in danger of precarious employment or marginalisation in society, deal with their integration into Luxembourg and prepare themselves for their adult lives. Particular attention will be given to the support of youth organisations, governmental and non-governmental, formal and informal, to this process of building up social capital.
