%0 Report %A Nielsen, Helena Skyt %A Rosholm, Michael %A Smith, Nina %A Husted, Leif %T Intergenerational Transmissions and the School-to-Work Transition of 2nd Generation Immigrants %D 2001 %8 2001 May %I Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) %C Bonn %7 IZA Discussion Paper %N 296 %U https://www.iza.org/publications/dp296 %X We analyse the extent of intergenerational transmission through parental capital, ethnic capital and neighbourhood effects on several aspects of the school-to-work transition of 2 nd generation immigrants and young ethnic Danes. The main findings are that parental capital has strong positive effects on the probability of completing a qualifying education and on the entry into the labour market, but it has a much smaller impact on the duration of the first employment spell and on the wage level. Growing up in neighbourhoods with a high concentration of immigrants is associated with negative labour market prospects both for young natives and 2 nd generation immigrants. %K parental capital %K intergenerational transmission %K second generation immigrants %K School-to-work transition %K ethnic capital %K neighbourhood effects
