Equal opportunities? : the labour market integration of the children of immigrants.
European Commission.
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Paris : OECD,
2010.
The integration of the children of immigrants - both those born in the host country (the "second generation") and those who arrived young enough to be educated in the host country - is of growing policy relevance for OECD countries.  This group is entering the labor market in ever larger numbers, and their outcomes are often seen as the benchmark for successful integration policy.  This integration is an area where comparative international knowledge is gradually evolving, but still underdeveloped. Recent work by the OECD has shown that the children of immigrants tend to have lower employment outcomes than the children of natives in most countries . This technical seminar proceedings sheds light on the issues involved in the labor market integration of the children of immigrants, and discusses policy answers and good practices.--Publisher's description
