The Educational Gap of Second-Generation Migrants: The Italian Case
(2019) EKHS02 20191Department of Economic History

- The integration of migrants' children in host societies has become one of the main challenges for Italy. Schools and educational institutions play a central role in this process as they provide a fundamental basis for human capital accumulation and integration of new migrant generation. In recent years, the exponential growth of Italy's second-generation migrants has increasingly shown the divergence of educational performances. Although the literature on the educational gap between second-generation migrants and natives has grown apace, the second-generation educational outcome in Italy remains a rather unexplored subject particularly at a regional level. Focusing on educational achievements and attainments, using a quantitative method for the year 2015, the research addresses this absence. The dissertation will provide a better understanding of the differences in educational outcomes of Italians and second-generation migrants by looking at grades in school and future path choices within the regional North/South divide in the country.
