Education and Early Career Outcomes of Second-Generation Immigrants in FranceChristian BelzilEcole Polytechnique, Paris - Department of Economic Sciences; National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) - National School for Statistical and Economic Administration (ENSAE); Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA); Center for Interuniversity Research and Analysis on Organization (CIRANO) François PoinasToulouse School of Economics (University of Toulouse 1 - GREMAQ) IZA Discussion Paper No. 3877 Abstract: We estimate a flexible dynamic model of education choices and early career employment outcomes of the French population. Individuals are allowed to choose between 4 options: continue to the next grade, accept a permanent contract, accept a temporary contract, or withdraw from the labor force (a residual state). Our analysis focuses on the comparison between French Second-Generation Immigrants whose parents are born in Africa and French-natives. We find that schooling attainments explain around two thirds of the differences in access to early career employment stability. However, one third cannot be linked to observed investment in human capital.
