Abstract
This chapter examines the impact of educational inequalities on immigrant-origin chidren's transition from school to the labor market. Focusing on Mexicans in the United States and the Maghrebins, or North Africans, in France, it shows that the American and French educational systems, despite their manifest differences, produce broadly similar educational inequalities. The labor-market outcomes, at least in terms of employment, have been more favorable for second-generation Mexicans in the United States. In France, democratization has allowed the children of North African immigrants to improve their educational attainments. In the United States, improvements in Mexican American educational attainments generally have been matched by improvements in the attainments of native-born whites.
