Summary:In an effort to help European Union member states realize their goal of "unity in diversity," this article examines the employment challenges that second-generation immigrants face, particularly focusing on gendered barriers that affect second-generation Muslim men and women. First, the article demonstrates that employment disparities persist for second-generation immigrants, especially second-generation Muslims. Second, the article examines the gendered effects of discrimination that present distinct challenges for second-generation Muslim men and women. Qualitative interviews provide a nuanced layer to the article. The analysis and comparison of immigration integration policies in France, Germany, and Sweden demonstrate the challenges of integration but also show that best practices exist that merit further consideration.
