Immigrant Educational Optimism in China:
Is it Selectivity or Migration Experience Effect?
In this talk Héctor Cebolla-Boado explores differences in the expectations of attaining
tertiary education among junior high school students in China. He makes a two-way
comparison between (1) the children of internal migrant households with those who
did not migrate within China; (2) children wishing to migrate themselves
internationally when they grow up with those who do not report intentions to move
abroad. By so doing, he intends to contribute to the literature on immigrant optimism,
which seeks to account for the higher educational expectations of immigrant-origin
children conditional on social origin and school attainment.
