Document Abstract

Children of immigrants in the labour markets of EU and OECD countries: An overview

Provides a comparative overview of the presence and outcomes of the children of immigrants in the labour markets of OECD countries, based on data from OECD countries with large immigrant populations. Describes the number and parental origin of the children of immigrants in the countries studied (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, US). Overviews the educational attainment of the children of immigrants compared with children of natives. Presents descriptions of the labour market outcomes (employment and unemployment rates, occupations and sectors) of the children of immigrants compared with those of the children of native-born-born. Discusses how much the observed differences in labour market outcomes can be explained by socio-demographic characteristics.
