在意大利，选择一所中学代表着学生人生中的重要一步，因为它对他们最终的教育成就和劳动力轨迹有很大的影响。在这篇文章中，我们分析了世代地位和居住时间对生活在意大利的移民过渡到中学的影响。使用ITAGEN 2随访的数据，我们分析了意大利青少年的中学期末考试成绩和中学选择。移民的子女更有可能在中学考试中成绩较差，并进入职业学校和理工学校。我们的多变量研究结果表明，在控制了家庭的人力资本和其他关键背景因素后，移民学生表现出更大的倾向于选择职业道路。当考虑到以前的学业成绩时，移民和本地人在中学轨道上的差异也表现出来。
Choosing a secondary school represents an important step in the lives of students in Italy, in that it has a strong bearing on their ultimate educational achievement and labor force trajectory. In this article, we analyze the effect of generational status and length of residence on the transition to secondary school among immigrants living in Italy. Using data from the ITAGEN2 follow-up, we analyze scholastic results from the middle school final exam and the choice of secondary school among the adolescents in Italy. Children of immigrants are more likely to have inferior outcomes on the middle school exam and to enroll in vocational and polytechnic schools. Our multivariate results indicate that, after controlling for the family's human capital and other key background factors, immigrant students show greater propensity to choose a vocational path. Differences between immigrants and natives in secondary school tracks are also manifested when previous scholastic results are taken into account.
