다문화주의 정책은 이주민의 사회통합을 돕는가? 이주배경 청소년의 교육적 통합 양상 재검토

초록

This study examines the effect of policy arrangements on immigrant youth’s integration into the education system. Expanding the bi-dimensional model of immigrant integration outlined by Ruud Koopmans, we hypothesize that the performance gap for immigrant youth is smaller in countries that have institutionalized stronger polities toward “balanced multiculturalism.” The Trend in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2015 data, combined with the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) 2010, were used to examine this hypothesis. As a result, the academic performance of 147,590 fourth-grade students in 29 countries was analyzed. The findings appeared to support the hypothesis, suggesting that an egalitarian distribution of civic rights, if combined with a moderate endorsement of group-based cultual rights, may effectively facilitate immigrant integration.
