The Children of Immigrants at School: Conclusions and Recommendations --Bibliography --Contributors --IndexThe Children of Immigrants at School explores the 21st-century consequences of immigration through an examination of how the so-called second generation is faring educationally in six countries: France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United States. In this insightful volume, Richard Alba and Jennifer Holdaway bring together a team of renowned social science researchers from around the globe to compare the educational achievements of children from low-status immigrant groups to those of mainstream populations in these countries, asking what we can learn from one system that can be usefully applied in another. Working from the results of a five-year, multi-national study, the contributors to The Children of Immigrants at School ultimately conclude that educational processes do, in fact, play a part in creating unequal status for immigrant groups in these societies. In most countries, the youth coming from the most numerous immigrant populations lag substantially behind their mainstream peers, implying that they will not be able to integrate economically and civically as traditional mainstream populations shrink. Despite this fact, the comparisons highlight features of each system that hinder the educational advance of immigrant-origin children, allowing the contributors to identify a number of policy solutions to help fix the problem. A comprehensive look at a growing global issue, The Children of Immigrants at School represents a major achievement in the fields of education and immigration studies.Social Science Research CouncilSocial integrationEuropeSocial integrationUnited StatesChildren of immigrantsEducationEuropeChildren of immigrantsEducationUnited StatesChildren of immigrantsEconomic conditionsEuropeChildren of immigrantsEconomic conditionsUnited StatesChildren of immigrantsSocial conditionsEuropeChildren of immigrantsSocial conditionsUnited StatesSocial integrationSocial integrationChildren of immigrantsEducationChildren of immigrantsEducationChildren of immigrantsEconomic conditionsChildren of immigrantsEconomic conditionsChildren of immigrantsSocial conditionsChildren of immigrantsSocial conditions305.23086912Alba Richardedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHoldaway Jenniferedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSocial Science Research Council (U.S.),DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910787785703321The Children of Immigrants at School3707329UNINA
