移徙的选择性在族裔/原籍国群体之间以及在这些群体所移徙的目的地国之间有很大差异。然而，很少有比较研究从经验上衡量不同移民群体在多个目的地国的选择性，也没有研究研究移民的选择性是否与西方社会移民子女之间的种族不平等程度有关。我们对来自许多不同原籍国、移民到十个不同目的地国的移民的教育选择性进行了实证衡量。我们研究了特定目的地国的特定民族群体的选择性移民是否与他们的孩子和当地孩子的教育成果之间的差距有关。我们发现，第二代和他们的同龄人之间的教育成果的劣势是较小的种族群体，更积极地选择在教育程度方面。我们还发现一些证据表明，选择性移民的影响是缓和的融合政策或跟踪安排在教育系统中的目的地国。
Selectivity of migration varies significantly between ethnic/origin country groups, and between the destination countries which these groups have migrated to. Yet, little comparative research has measured empirically how selective different migrant groups are in multiple destination countries, nor has research studied whether the selectivity of migration is related to the magnitude of ethnic inequalities among the children of migrants in Western societies. We present an empirical measure of educational selectivity of migrants from many different origin countries having migrated to ten different destination countries. We examine whether selective migration of a particular ethnic group in a particular destination country is related to the gap between their children's and native children's educational outcomes. We find that the disadvantage in educational outcomes between the second generation and their peers from majority populations is smaller for ethnic groups that are more positively selected in terms of educational attainment. We also find some evidence that the effect of selective migration is moderated by the integration policies or tracking arrangements in the educational system in the destination country.
