[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Immigrants study

[Lesley Farmer]

Second-generation immigrants performing wellThe children of immigrants
in New York City not only do better than their parents but also do well
when compared with native-born youth from comparable backgrounds,
according to a study authored by three professors who tracked more than
3,000 people, mostly in their 20s. Most of the second-generation
participants spoke English fluently and many credited their parents'
and community's encouragement for their career and academic
successes.Mollenkopf, J., et al. (2008). Inheriting the City: The
Children of Immigrants Come of Age. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University
Press.
