Annotation. The Dutch second generation of Turkish and Moroccan origin is coming of age and making a transition from education to the labour market. This first publication of the TIES Project (Towards the Integration of the European Second Generation) studies the social situation and views of this ethnic group, drawing on the research carried out in Amsterdam and Rotterdam in 2006-07 among the Dutch-born children of immigrants from Turkey and Morocco and a comparison group of young people (age 18-35) whose parents were born in the Netherlands.

"In five days, the independence of the Netherlands was destroyed. Rotterdam, which the Germans bombed by mistake, lay in ruins, along with Holland's neutralist policy. Wilhelmina Steenbeek, who lived through this holocaust of war and occupation, describes the invasion of her unprepared fatherland and the horrors of the bombing of her native city"--Page 7.
Multifaceted social problems such as safety, social inclusion, poverty, mobility, rural development, city regeneration, or labour market integration require integrated approaches to steering. This book looks at various organisational arrangements and mechanisms, including whole-of-government, collaborative governance, and outcome steering.
Some specific physical and medical conditions are well recognized to be more common in autistic individuals compared to the general population (e.g., sleep-wake disorders, epilepsy, sensory impairments). However, the prevalence and the impact on autistic individuals and their families of other physical and medical conditions, such as cardiovascular conditions, cancer, musculoskeletal conditions, food intolerance, allergies, autoimmune problems, diabetes, and neurocutaneous disorders have yet to be established. The presence of such co-occurring conditions affects the success of treatment and worsens the quality of life of autistic individuals and their carers. Importantly, the awareness of the presence of specific physical and medical conditions associated with autism allows for targeted interventions and better outcomes.
