Abstract:
During the last fifty years, family life has noticeably changed in industrialized countries. Among many changes, it appears that there is a shift from a "family dominated" society to a more "individualistic" society where the concept of family loses its importance, family ties weakens, and elders lose their essential roles within the family because the continuity between generations in respect to family traditions and values is stopped. Ethnic-elders have different expectations from their family members based on their ethnic-identity, family values, and the extent of their acculturation. These

Abstract:
NSW schooling is characterised by choice and competition and has a large number of academically selective public high schools, most of which are located in the Sydney metropolitan area. It has been widely noted that Chinese background students in NSW are over-represented in the state’s publically funded selective high schools—schools that cater for academically high achieving students. This over-representation has attracted attention in the broader community and raised the interest of educational authorities and researchers who want to identify the underlying factors contributing to this pheno

Abstract:
The literature shows that family background only partially accounts for the association between minority status and educational outcomes. In particular, when compared to same-background native peers, the children of foreign-born parents and especially those from lower backgrounds often display higher educational ambitions, even in spite of low school performances. My first step is to analyse the occurrence of these phenomena using different datasets from national and international European surveys.
