Intergenerational Spillovers of Integration Policies: Evidence from Finland's Integration Plans
研究了芬兰一项增加语言培训、改善成年移民劳动力市场结果的融合计划,发现父母参与该计划使子女成绩提高0.5个标准差,教育年限延长一年以上,且20年后收入高出42%。
Abstract We examine the intergenerational effects of an integration program that increased language training and improved labor market outcomes of adult immigrants in Finland. Exploiting a discontinuity in the phase-in rule of a reform, we find that parents' participation in the program improved their children's grades by 0.5 standard deviations and extended their educational attainment by over a year. Two decades post-arrival, children of the affected immigrants earned 42% more than their counterparts whose parents narrowly missed the policy's implementation.
