Immigration in general has a positive impact on the GDP growth of a host country as the highly skilled migrants canimprove the total stock of human capital of the country, thus contribute to innovation and productivity growth. Onthe other hand, the impact of immigration on the employment and wages of the native-born remains a coreconcern in the public debates.Over last two decades, there is an emerging research focus on immigrant generation. While the first-generationimmigrants observed having had an averagely negative net fiscal impact, the second-generation immigrants havecontributed positively because of their higher educational attainment level and earnings than that of their parents.Research has shown that a number of influential factors, including parental education, household income, ethnicidentity, language spoken and fluency, and school quality etc have impact on the educational attainment of thesecond-generation immigrants. To date, however, literature concerning the second-generation immigrants anddifferent ethnic groups is comparatively scarce.This proposed research aims to analyse the gaps of education attainment and earning between secondgenerationimmigrants of different ethnic groups and natives in the UK, and further to reveal what the dominantfactors are behind them.

总体而言，移民对东道国的GDP增长有积极影响，因为高技能移民可以提高该国的人力资本总量，从而有助于创新和生产率增长。另一方面，移民对本地出生的就业和工资的影响仍然是公众辩论的核心问题。在过去的二十年里，有一个新兴的研究重点是移民一代。虽然第一代移民对美国的净财政影响平均为负，但第二代移民的贡献是积极的，因为他们的教育程度和收入都高于他们的父母。研究表明，许多影响因素，包括父母的教育程度、家庭收入、种族认同、语言使用和流利程度、学校质量等，都对这些第二代移民的教育程度产生影响。然而，到目前为止，关于第二代移民和不同民族的文献相对较少。这项拟议的研究旨在分析英国不同种族的第二代移民与本地人之间的教育程度和收入差距，并进一步揭示其背后的主导因素。
