Model 4 of Table 3 shows that those indicators did not significantly influence migrants' educational performance and their inclusion affected the other coefficients hardly.
More general, as a result of a lower level of resources of migrants (educational, occupational, knowledge of the educational system, a lower command of the host country's language) their children are more likely to be selected and allocated into lower educational streams and school-types (van de Werfhorst and van Tubergen, 2007).
Parental characteristics (migrant status, educational level and workload) were assessed by questionnaire.
Adjusting only for parental characteristics (either analyzing migrant status, educational level and workload separately or together) did not alter these results (data not shown).
Variables were analyzed using mixed linear regression models with preschool class as a random effect with adjustment for sex and age (crude model) or for sex, age, parental migrant status, educational level, workload and BMI & children's skinfolds (adjusted model).
We investigated the respective role of different socio-cultural determinants: the broad regional environment on one side and individual socio-cultural determinants, such as parental migrant status, educational level and workload (parental characteristics) on the other side.
To test the independent effect of the regional environment (fixed factor), regression models were subsequently adjusted for sex, age, parental migrant status, educational level, workload and BMI & children's skinfolds.
Second generation migrants and 1.75 generation migrants have the highest educational performance, 1.5 generation migrants score 8 points lower, and 1.25 generation migrants score 30 points lower.
Influential research findings can also be found in the historical, aesthetic, educational, migrant, rural and medical fields of anthropology.
Individual characteristics of migrants including migrant's age, educational level in years, sex, marital status, and whether the migrant interviewed was the head of the household or not 2.
