The study of immigrant youth in Finland has been growing at a steady pace since the turn of the 2000s, but the topic is still somewhat peripheral in the broader context of national ethnic and migration studies. This is due to the fact that Finland became an immigration society at the turn of the 1990s, and the bulk of migration research has so far been focusing on integration patterns of the first generation, which is dominated by adults in the working age. As the growing second generation is increasingly approaching adulthood, also the focus has slightly shifted to questions of belonging, identity, school performance, etc. of young people of immigrant background.
