Regarding variation in these groups’ early sociocultural integration patterns, results suggest that they reflect primarily differences in migrants’ intention to stay, individual resources such as education, and opportunities for integration related to newcomers’ involvement in the educational system or labour force. We label a third group that is best described as educational target‐earners: ‘young learners/professionals’. By applying latent class analysis to a unique ‘mini‐panel’ data set on recent Polish and Turkish immigrants in Germany, we identify two types of migrants that are in line with the literature, namely settlers and target‐earners. In this article, we start out from theoretical concepts about different types of migrants that feature prominently in the immigration literature. ![]()
