In education, Chen finds that second-generation youth universally achieve higher in high school graduation than their immigrant parents. However, assimilation in terms of college education is lower among some ethnic groups due to social, cultural and structural factors. In family life, Chen finds that being raised in immigrant families protects youth from assimilating into the alternative life style of cohabitation and encourages marriage.
