OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We estimate the inter-generational mobility of children of immigrants in eleven European and four non-European countries. In all destinations, immigrant parents earn less than the local born, but the children of immigrants experience substantial – and for daughters, often complete – convergence. The remaining gap between children of immigrants and locals is largest in countries like Denmark and France where children of immigrants are raised near the bottom of the income distribution. After controlling for parental income, daughters of immigrants out-earn daughters of the local born in almost all countries, and the earnings gap tightens (but remains negative) for sons. In part, sons of immigrants remain behind because of their lower employment rates. All children of immigrants do best in countries with more inclusive migration policies (e.g., access to citizenship), and positive attitudes toward immigrants.
