dc.description.abstract | In this study, I compare the labour market outcomes of school completers and school dropouts
10 years after they have entered upper secondary education. I compare second-generation immigrant
youth from Turkey, Morocco, Pakistan, Vietnam, India and Chile with native majority youth
in terms of economic inactivity, employment probability and educational enrolment. I use register
data from Statistics Norway, which contain information on all students who entered upper secondary
school between 1994 and 1998. The results show that youths who drop out of school
have a lower probability of being employed than school completers. However, the labour market
penalty of dropping out is not more excessive among second-generation immigrant youth than
among native majority youth | en_US |
