Abstract

Although, compared to other urban areas in Europe today, ethnic segregation in German cities is rather low (Schönwälder/Söhn 2009: 1454), the close link between poverty and education, and also social resources, still forms neighborhoods which have a disadvantaging effect on children and youth (Oberwittler 2007; s. Çıtlak in this Book). While unequal opportunities for children and youth lead to a wider interest in neighborhood and school segregation, the consequences of local segregation on perceived parental trust as a mediating variable for parental behavior is widely overseen thus far.
