Impact of Immigration on Inhabitants' Educational Investments
研究了建筑行业移民劳动力增加是否导致本地学生减少报读相关职业课程，发现移民劳动力供给越高，报读率越低，且成绩好的学生更易放弃。
We examine whether immigration into the labour market of the building and construction (BaC) industry affects enrolment in vocational programmes that teach the skills required in this industry. Results suggest that a higher supply of immigrant labour is associated with lower enrolment into programmes teaching BaC skills. The strength of this relationship increases according to the grades that the students achieved in lower secondary school. This finding indicates that the negative effect of immigration on educational recruitment is mainly caused by students who turn away from these programmes, rather than a reduction in apprenticeship positions offered by employers.
