| The development of independent functioning in society and social capital of 40 migrant women is followed for four years. The women started unemployed and often isolated. City district 'De Baarsjes' organised a project called 'Meedoen' (taking part!) to stimulate isolated welfare recipients to become more active and integrated in the neighbourhood. The city district hopes that the support in solving problems, and the courses and activities help them to develop into more active and less isolated citizens. The research focuses on the development of the women and on the the question whether or not (slight) force is acceptable for this target group. |
