title: The position of "second-generation migrants" in Western Europe.  Policy failures and policy prospects.
abstract: The author considers aspects of the socioeconomic status and living conditions of the estimated 7 million children living in Europe who are children of immigrants.  Particular attention is given to issues of education, employment, and legal rights.  Among the policy recommendations discussed are "equal opportunities in the interest of solidarity between native and immigrant children and youth; offering the children in question truly bicultural teaching; removing their employment disadvantages; [and] increasing their political rights."
