| Résumé : | Studies on immigrants’ disadvantage focus predominantly on labour market perspectives. Immigrants’ poor education is a subject much less examined especially in a cross-national context. This paper examines differences in educational achievement between immigrants and natives across ten OECD countries. In English-speaking countries, immigrants fare best, while in Continental European countries they fare worse compared to natives. Whilst language skills seem to explain immigrants’ disadvantage in English-speaking countries, socioeconomic background and school segregation are further important determinants of immigrants’ gap in Continental Europe. Results presented are predominantly robust across three sources of achievement data: PISA, TIMSS and PIRLS. |
| Note de contenu : | A partir de données issues de trois grandes enquêtes internationales (PISA, TIMSS et PIRLS), l'auteur compare les performances scolaires des populations migrantes et natives dans 10 pays de l'OCDE. |
