This study investigates native-migrant differences in engagement in post-school education. Using a longitudinal survey of youth in Australia, we find that immigrants originating from non-English speaking countries are significantly more likely to continue with further study between the ages of 18 and 23. On the other hand, there are no significant differences between immigrants from English-speaking countries and native youth. We find several important factors influencing study decisions, including parents and family background, academic ability, aspirations and age at migration; however, accounting for these factors does not fully explain the higher probability of pursuing higher education for immigrants from non-English speaking countries. Exploring the country of origin effect, we find that immigrants from countries with low tertiary education levels are more likely to study in Australia, while differences in parental attitudes in their origin countries do not have a significant effect. The results show the importance of country of origin on the study decisions of youth, which should be taken into account when formulating migration and education policies.

原籍国教育程度的差异：来自澳大利亚的证据

本研究调查了本地移民在参与学后教育方面的差异。通过对澳大利亚青年的纵向调查，我们发现来自非英语国家的移民在 18 至 23 岁之间继续深造的可能性要大得多。另一方面，来自非英语国家的移民之间没有显着差异。英语国家和本土青年。我们发现影响学习决定的几个重要因素，包括父母和家庭背景、学术能力、愿望和移民年龄；然而，考虑到这些因素并不能完全解释来自非英语国家的移民接受高等教育的可能性更高。探索原产国效应，我们发现来自高等教育水平较低国家的移民更有可能在澳大利亚学习，而原籍国父母态度的差异没有显着影响。结果表明原籍国对青年学习决策的重要性，在制定移民和教育政策时应予以考虑。
