„Austria, France, Germany and the Netherlands share the experience of large-scale low-educated immigration, the so-called ‚guest workers‘, in the post-World War II economic boom period. The native-born children of these immigrants generally had relatively lower starting conditions in terms of socio-economic characteristics compared to their peers with native-born parents. In contrast, immigration to Canada has been largely high-educated, although not all immigrant groups have the same background, and intergenerational mobility patterns vary across groups.“
