Generational Status, Family Background, and Educational Attainment Among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Youth In: Latino College Students. M. Olivas, ed. New York, NY: Teachers College, 1986 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Teachers College Press Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Family Background and Culture; High School Dropouts; Hispanic Youth; Hispanics; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Parental Influences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study uses data from the NLSY to compare the educational attainment of first-, second-, and third-generation- Hispanic youth to that of non-Hispanic white youth while controlling for family background. It was found that: (1) Hispanic youth are considerably more educationally disadvantaged than non-Hispanic white young people; (2) both disadvantaged family backgrounds and generational status work as explanatory factors; and (3) the impact of parent's education on educational attainment is less strong among the second generation than among other generational groups or non-Hispanic whites. |
