摘要：我们利用德国小规模人口普查，研究德国第二代移民的教育程度，重点关注传统劳工移民的后代。我们的研究结果表明，不同种族群体之间就读或完成高中毕业证书的教育成果存在很大差异。与德国同龄人相比，第二代年轻人，尤其是土耳其人和意大利人，面临着明显的劣势。在此背景下的核心问题是，德国学校系统中的种族分层在多大程度上与教育和社会背景相关。我们的研究结果表明，种族劣势主要是由于社会而不是特定的种族不平等造成的，因为在考虑教育和社会出身后，获得高中毕业证书的机会的最初差异消失了，唯一的例外是意大利年轻人。
A B S T R AC T Using the German Microcensus, we study second-generation immigrants' educational attainment in Germany, focusing on the descendants of classic labour migrants. Our results show that educational outcomes in terms of attending or completing the highest schooling track leading to the Abitur vary considerably among different ethnic groups. Second-generation young adults, in particular Turks and Italians, experience pronounced disadvantages in comparison to their German peers. The central question in this context is to what extent ethnic stratification in the German school system is related to educational and social background. Our findings suggest that ethnic disadvantages primarily result from social rather than from specific ethnic inequalities, since initial differences in the chances of attaining the Abitur disappear after considering educational and social origin, the only exception being Italian young adults.
