Educational attainment of adults and school enrollment among high school and pre-school children are evaluated using Becker's theories of human capital investment and demand for schooling. Second-generation adult immigrants have the highest level of schooling, exceeding that of both first-generation and U.S. born, while the first-generation possess the highest level of pre- and high school enrollment. Teenage immigrants complete fewer school years and are less likely enroll in high school. Hispanics and Blacks lag non-Hispanic Whites. This gap narrows with higher order immigrant generations among Hispanics, but widens among blacks. However, schooling differences by country-of-origin are more complex.New Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)New Americans.ImmigrantsEducationUnited StatesChildren of immigrantsEducationUnited StatesAcademic achievementUnited StatesEducational surveysUnited StatesImmigrantsEducationChildren of immigrantsEducationAcademic achievementEducational surveys371.826/912/0973DebBurman Noyna1863847MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958202003321Immigrant education4470534UNINA
