 Veel allochtonen zijn te dik
          Het PAROOL

 DEN HAAG - Veel allochtonen
 zijn te dik. Meer dan de helft
 van de Turken (55 procent),
 Marokkanen (51 procent) en
 Antillianen (50 procent) zijn te
 zwaar. Bij Surinamers en
                     Discriminatie vaak oorzaak werkloosheid allochtonen
 autochtonen liggen deze                 de Volkskrant
 percentages rond de 45 procent.
                   AMSTERDAM - Discriminatie is de verklaring voor hoge
                   werkloosheid onder allochtonen. Dit geldt zowel nieuwkomers
                   als tweede-generatie-allochtonen. Door discriminatie hebben
                   ze ook vaker een tijdelijke baan dan een vast contract. Maar
                   zijn ze eenmaal aangenomen, dan doen ze het soms beter dan
                   autochtonen.

                                Kwart is hoog opgeleid
 DEN HAAG (ANP) - Niet-westerse van de in Nederland geboren Turkse en Marokkaanse jongeren is
                             Een kwart
 allochtonen lopen hun achterstandhoog opgeleid. ‘Vijftien jaar geleden waren succesvolle allochtone jongeren
                             inmiddels op
 de arbeidsmarkt iets in. In een uitzondering op de regel, maar bij de tweede generatie wordt de eerste elite
                             het derde
                             zichtbaar’, zegt onderwijssocioloog Maurice Crul, een van de onderzoekers.

 de werkloosheid onder niet-westerse

 allochtonen in de maanden juli,                               economie

                                                              Nederland moeten de etnische

                                                              afzien van het verspreiden van

                                                              stad. Dat zou de economie van de
                                                              steden ten goede kunnen komen.
