2000 Families: Migration Histories of Turks in Europe

The 2000 Families: Migration Histories of Turks in Europe project explores migration processes, the multi-generational transmission of social, cultural, religious and economic resources, values and behaviour.

The research is targeted Turkish migrant and non-migrant families, their members in European countries and those who did not migrate to European countries or returned to Turkey, and involves survey interviews with approximately 6000 family members across three generations. 

The study consists of three parts:

  1. Family Tree (Pilot and Main)
  2. Proxy interviews (Pilot and Main)
  3. Personal interviews (Pilot and Main)

The data is deposited and available for download/use by bona fide researchers at the Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (GESIS), where you will also find instructions on how to cite the data in your work.
