The recent TIES (The Integration of the European Second generation) surveys allow a detailed investigation of different forms of religiosity and their predictors among the Turkish and Moroccan second generation from a comparative perspective. Distinguishing between several dimensions of religiosity among second-generation young adults, I investigate the relationship between structural integration, i.e., education and labour market attainment, and levels of religiosity.'
