我们关注男性和女性移民儿童的高中辍学率。我们考虑辍学率与移民抵达年龄之间的关系。利用 1996 年至 2011 年以色列劳动力调查的重复横截面数据，我们发现 1989 年至 1994 年期间从前苏联抵达的移民儿童中高中辍学的比例至少是同一年龄组本地人的两倍。此外，我们还发现，在移民青年中，到达年龄与高中辍学比例之间存在负相关关系。为了理解我们的结果，我们提出了一个理论框架，将到达东道国的年龄、语言水平、教育质量和工资之间联系起来。关键词：移民、到达年龄、高中辍学率。
We focus on high school dropout rates among male and female immigrant children. We consider the relationship between the dropout rate and age at arrival of the immigrants. Using repeated cross sectional data from the Israeli Labor Force Surveys of 1996-2011 we show that the share of high school dropouts among immigrant children who arrived from the Former Soviet Union during 1989-1994 is at least double that of natives in the same age group. Further, we show that among immigrant youth there is a negative relation between age at arrival and the share of high school dropouts. To understand our results we present a theoretical framework that links between age at arrival in the host country, language proficiency, quality of education and wages.Keywords: Immigrants, Age at arrival, High-school dropouts.
