RELEVANCE OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY
● Migration and globalization.
○ Increased diversity in all current societies.
○ Diverse perspectives on human development.
● Diversity in the Netherlands: children and families you will encounter in the field.
○ Necessity of specificity intervention of a culturally-sensitive approach?
● Specific issues of minorities (e.g., multilingualism, shifting between two cultures,
discrimination).
● The study of child welfare, families and education; literature from the U.S., England,
etc. (western samples).
○ Realize whether the information and knowledge is applicable in The
Netherlands.
How many refugees/asylum seekers did the Netherlands have in 2021?
● About 91.000 refugees and asylum seekers in the Netherlands (about 0.16% of the
world) in 2021.
● Majority comes from Syria, Afghanisation, Algeria, Turkey and Yemen.
● During COVID pandemic initial decrease; more influx expected.
Increasing diversity in society
● 25.3% of the population has a migration background (Western and non-Western, first
and second generation). For children and youngsters <25 years: 28%.
● In the four large cities: the Hague (62%),
Amsterdam (61%), Rotterdam (58%) and
Utrecht (39%).
MIGRATION IN THE NETHERLANDS
Immigration history in the Netherlands
(Entzinger, 2014)
● Second half of the 19th century.
○ Migration from the former Dutch colonies: surinamese-dutch and Antillean-
Dutch.
○ Migration since the 60s as guest workers: Turkish-Dutch and Marrocan-
Dutch.
, ● Since ‘00
○ Labor and economic migrants: Eastern Europe (e.g., Poland, Bulgaria,
Romania) and Asia (India and China).
● Fluctuating waves of migration from conflict areas (Somalia, Ethiopia, Iraq,
Afghanisation, Syria, etc.).
Policy perspective
● Until 1980: immigration as a temporary phenomenon > exclusion?
○ Policy focused on temporary accommodation and welfare measures (like in
other European countries).
○ Focused on preservation of one's own culture.
■ Mother tongue teaching in primary school.
● 1980s: minorities policy
○ Drop idea of temporariness (guest workers > minorities).
○ Multicultural approach > preservation of their own culture.
○ Promote participation in society.
■ Economics difficult times > high unemployment rate.
■ Participation rates in (post) secondary education > drop out.
■ Marginalization: people were not really part of the dutch society.
● 1990s: integration policy
○ Mandatory language and integration classes > poor quality.
○ High unemployment and reliance on social policy provisions.
○ Segregation in society and schools in particular.
■ Pillarized school system > Islamic primary schools.
○ High delinquency rates among certain groups (Moroccan-Dutch youths).
● Towards the beginning of 2000 higher employment rates > success of second
generation.
● 2000s: policy towards assimilation.
○ (Inter)national events: 9/11, killing of Pim Fortuyn.
○ Public debate on integration and failure in this.
○ Changing political (populist) discourse > “Dutch” identity.
○ Culturalization
■ Growing emphasis on Inslam as cause for all problems (killing of van
Gogh).
■ (fear of) Radicalization.
■ Public opinion > growing mistrust between Muslim and non-Muslims.
■ Stereotypes of specific groups (e.g. Polish).
○ Polarization: growing divide in society.
BERRY’S ACCULTURATION MODEL
Acculturation occurs when someone
migrates from one to another society.
On a group level
● Excess 1: when you want to maintain
your heritage culture or not.
● Excess 2: if you want to participate in
the new society.
, ● Multiculturiality: holding on to your own culture, but also adopting the culture of the
new society.
● Melting pot: people don't maintain their own heritage culture and they mainly focus
on the new society.
● Segregation: people hold on to their heritage culture and do not participate in the new
society.
● Exclusion: people don't hold on to their heritage culture, but they also don't interact
with people of the host society.
On a individual level
● Integration: maintaining your
heritage culture and also adopting
● Assimilation: completely adopting
the culture of the host society.
● Segregation: people maintain parts
of the heritage culture, but they do
not interact with the new culture.
● Marginalization: people don't hold
on to their heritage culture, but they
also don't interact with people of the
host society.

Success of Turkish youth across 7 European countries
● Idea of segmented assimilation: more than one way to assimilate.
● Role of context.
● Failed integration or failing (educational) systems?
○ Access and participation in early schooling (France vs. Germany).
● Role of social and political discourse.
○ Political discourse > political climate, stereotypes and hierarchies.
○ Social discourse > acceptance towards immigrants (Amsterdam < Madrid).
THEORIES OF CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
, Individuals and collectivism (Crul & Schneider, 2010)
● Based on IBM study in the 60s and 70s > organizational psychology.
● 4 dimensions for cross-cultural communication:
○ Individualism/collectivism.
○ Power distance.
○ Uncertainty-avoidance.
○ Masculinity-femininity.
● Adopted in Psychology and Educational research.
○ But also heavily criticized for postulating an oversimplified dichotomy.
○ Cultures vs. people.
● Nevertheless, it provides a starting point..
Context and family systems (Kagitçibasi, 1996)
● Introducing a family model in which context (culture and living conditions) is
important for understanding family relations, socialization values and patterns.
● Intergenerational patterns of cultural socialization:
○ Independence (left).
○ Interdependence (right).
