Father’s Repeat Migration and Children’s Educational Performance

Aradhya, Siddartha LU ; Scott, Kirk LU and Smith, Christopher LU (2019) In International Migration Review 53(1). p.154-182
Abstract
Repeat migration is a common, but unstudied, pattern of migration. This study examines the potential intergenerational consequences of this behavior. To investigate this, we estimate the effect of fathers’ repeat migration on their children’s grade point averages using population-level register data from Sweden. We find that the children of fathers who repeat migrate have a significantly lower grade point average, even after controlling for individual and family characteristics, than children of permanent migrants. Results suggest selection and delayed integration may exert negative pressure on the GPA of children of repeat migrants.
