Sublayer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stratification means for a social structure that increase or immigrants an existing sub-layer fill so strong that they actually replace , while the previous lower class socially relatively rises .

This does not mean that the underlayer is now homogeneous . The ethnic minorities are very diverse and multifaceted. On the one hand they are - even if often overlooked in the immigration society - very differentiated socially , they also differ in new ways in terms of differences in residence status, length of stay, integration, etc. at the

In the 1970s, the sociologist Hans-Joachim Hoffmann-Nowotny developed, using the example of foreign workers in Switzerland, the theory of a stratification of the societal social and employment structure through labor migration. The immigrants remain, according to Hoffmann-Nowotny, marginalized in the country of immigration, enable those already resident in the country ("autochthons") to gain social advancement, but at the same time awaken in those autochthons that cannot take advantage of these opportunities for advancement to limit themselves to the bottom. Such a demarcation occurs primarily through ascribed categories, that is, the emphasis on the ascribed status - origin, “cultural” individuality and nationality - instead of the acquired status.

In the sense of the sociologist Hartmut Esser , an ethnic underclassification can be understood as a "systematic covariation of ethnic affiliation and participation in generalized capital".

In view of the refugee crisis in Germany from 2015 , Christoph Butterwegge warned of increasing poverty and the risk of ethnic underclassification. This exists above all if the welfare state continues to be dismantled and the refugees are ghettoized .
