Abstract
The social integration of immigrants is an important phenomenon, as it can cause quite some difficulties for both the immigrants and the host countries. Also, in the Netherlands, problems with cohesion, crime, and discrimination can be linked to the social integration of immigrants. A lot of solutions are being sought to make the process of social integration for immigrants more effective. In this research, we look if having diverse social contacts with diverse educational levels will help the social integration of immigrants. On top of that, we will investigate if this relationship is different for men or women. The dataset of the LISS immigrant panel was used, which is a longitudinal dataset of respondents living in the Netherlands. Ultimately 640 respondents were used in this research, all immigrants from Turkey, Morocco, Netherlands Antilles, Surinam, Indonesia, and other Western origins. The results of this research show evidence for the relationship between network diversity in terms of education on the social integration of immigrants, however, it does not show evidence of the effect of gender on this relationship.
