Switzerland has developed an official policy of integration with a priority accorded to new immigrants. However, integration difficulties concern also young people of immigrant origins who have lived in the country for a long time. Two studies carried out by the Swiss Forum for the Study of Migrations and the Population show that these young individuals are confronted with discrimination when they seek to enter the work force, even when they dispose of identical qualifications to those of their generation.
