Title: | Selective immigration policies as screening devices and the immigrant–native educational achievement gap | Authors: | Sakellariou, Christos | Keywords: | Social sciences::Economic development | Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | Sakellariou, C. (2018). Selective immigration policies as screening devices and the immigrant–native educational achievement gap. Educational Research and Evaluation, 24(6-7), 394-416. doi:10.1080/13803611.2018.1549998 | Journal: | Educational Research and Evaluation | Abstract: | The literature on the immigrant–native educational achievement gap is suggestive of a better performance of immigrant students in countries practising selective immigration policies. However, the origin of such differences has not been investigated. I considered both important observed characteristics as well as the role of unobservables in the formation of immigrant–native achievement differences in 4 selective immigration countries. I found that, if the comparison is between selective immigration countries as a group and other European/Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, immigrant students in selective immigration countries perform better. However, the results are heterogeneous and different conclusions apply to each of the 4 countries. The findings are discussed in the context of successful immigration policies as screening devices, which induce a self-selection of immigrants with transferable and adaptive skills. Potentially important are also institutional differences with respect to how inclusionary and conducive to the integration of immigrants into the host country policies are. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/145699 | ISSN: | 1380-3611 | DOI: | 10.1080/13803611.2018.1549998 | Schools: | School of Social Sciences | Rights: | This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor and Francis in Educational Research and Evaluation on 26 Dec 2018, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/13803611.2018.1549998. | Fulltext Permission: | open | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
