Abstract | This study looked at the ovrall situation of the immigrant population, and young immigrants in particular, and analyzed such problem areas as the transition from school to working life and the inadequacies of initial training with relation to the situation in Luxembourg. The study identified the following problem areas: (1) problems relating to the education of children of migrant workers and (2) problems concerning access to vocational training and the links between success at school, success in vocational training, success in employment, and access to the labor market. Analysis of the data suggested some conclusions, among them: (1) Luxembourg has proportionately the biggest foreign population of any European country, and the ratio of foreigners to natives is increasing; (2) the main factor that besets young migrants is the simultaneous learning of four languages: their mother tongue, Luxembourgish, French, and German; (3) such language-learning requirements often lead to failure at school and make vocational education inaccessible; (4) although young foreigners still manage to enter the job market, the low-skilled jobs they fill are becoming scarcer, and unemployment is becoming more widespread; and (5) solutions include the teaching of the young migrant's own language at least in preprimary and primary school, encouraging the learning of German, and the creation of preapprenticeship centers for boys and girls. (Includes 34 references, mostly in French, and 4 appendices, in French, containing reports on teaching and migration, the operation of reception classes, classes in the mother tongue, and a call for action by foreign workers' organizations) (KC) |
