Des enquêtes spéciales démontrent que l'origine sociale constitue un déterminant important du niveau d'instruction des enfants immigrants. Cependant, l'omission de poser des questions sur l'origine sociale dans les grandes enquêtes empêche souvent l'étude de la relation existant entre l'origine sociale et la réussite socioéconomique de la progéniture des immigrants à l'âge adulte. L'analyse de l'Enquête sociale générale—cycle 15: rétrospective sur la famille de 2001 confirme l'influence de l'origine sociale, y compris les caractéristiques des antécédents familiaux, sur le niveau d'instruction et sur la réussite professionnelle de la progéniture des adultes immigrants âgée de 30 à 64 ans, classée par la distance de l'expérience migratoire et par la région d'origine. Les modèles de réussite de la progéniture des groupes spécifiques d'immigrants, particulièrement ceux provenant de nouvelles régions autres que les États‐Unis, le Royaume‐Uni, l'Irlande et l'Europe, sont en accord avec le modèle de l'«optimisme de l'immigrant» observé dans les études antérieures. Special surveys show social origins are important determinants in the educational achievements of immigrant children. However, the omission of social origin questions on large surveys frequently prevents studying the relationship between social origins and the socioeconomic attainments of immigrant offspring in adulthood. Analysis of the 2001 General Social Survey Cycle 15 on Family History confirms the influence of social origins including family background characteristics on the educational and occupational achievements of adult immigrant offspring, age 30 to 64, demarcated by distance from the migration experience and by region of origin. The patterns of achievement for specific groups of immigrant offspring, particularly those whose origins are from new areas other than the United States, United Kingdom and Ireland, and Europe, is consistent with the “immigrant optimism” model observed in earlier studies
