The occupational attainment and job security of immigrant children in Spain

Jacobo Munoz-Comet et al.

Summary: Little is known about the labor market integration of immigrants who arrived in Spain at an early age. Using data from the Spanish LFS (2008-2016), this study finds that the occupational attainment of Latin American, Eastern European, and African 1.5-generation immigrants is similar to that of natives, while first-generation immigrants face persistent disadvantages even after controlling for sociodemographic factors and time in the labor market. Social class position does not equally protect against job loss, with a larger immigrant penalty observed at the lower end of the occupational structure. The study suggests that compositional differences explain the higher risk of job loss for 1.5-generation immigrants across occupational groups, while structural factors, such as concentration in vulnerable economic sectors and fixed-term contracts, explain the disadvantage for first-generation immigrants, particularly men. These findings confirm assimilation theory and highlight the importance of favorable entry conditions into employment for the labor market outcomes of immigrants.

Understanding why immigrant children underperform: evidence from Italian compulsory education

Moris Triventi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the academic performance gap between immigrant children and native students in compulsory education in Italy. It finds that factors such as family structure, parents' socioeconomic resources, cultural and educational resources, as well as students' school-related attitudes all play a role in explaining the disadvantages faced by immigrant offspring. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of school-related attitudes in contributing to the academic performance gaps, particularly in lower secondary school.

Breaking down the barriers: educational paths, labour market outcomes and wellbeing of children of immigrants INTRODUCTION

Giuseppe Gabrielli et al.

Summary: Successfully incorporating ethnic minorities is a challenge for modern societies, as migratory background affects the life trajectories of migrants' descendants. 'Hard' and 'soft' barriers lead to long-term inequality and low intergenerational social mobility, particularly in European immigration countries. Research in Southern Europe suggests that equal opportunities in education should support transitions from school to work and improve academic performance of immigrants' descendants.

Early career trajectories of first- and second-generation migrant graduates of professional university

Barbara Belfi et al.

Summary: The study found that first- and second-generation migrants experienced lower employment chances, more skill mismatches, and lower job satisfaction in the first year after graduation compared to natives. However, after four to eight years, second-generation migrants showed improvement in overall situation, maintaining earnings parity with natives and narrowing the gap in job satisfaction and skill match. Meanwhile, first-generation migrants continued to face enduring early-career gaps, showing lower job satisfaction and opening up a wage gap compared to their native peers.

Student mobility and school segregation in an (un)controlled choice system: A counterfactual approach

Xavier Bonal et al.

Summary: This article explores the relationship between school choice, student mobility, and school segregation in Barcelona, finding that recent reforms undermining the role of residential proximity in admissions policy have impacted the segregation of socially disadvantaged students. The study reveals a significant reduction in school segregation for disadvantaged students due to high number of school choice options, as well as an increase in inequality between public and private subsidized schools. The findings have implications for potential reforms in the current definition of catchment areas and overall school choice policy in Barcelona.
