Abstract
This paper uses General Social Survey data to investigate whether the social and economic outcomes of the children of migrants are different to children with both parents born in New Zealand, using logistic regression modelling.
The outcomes covered are employment, income, health, home ownership, having enough money to meet everyday needs, contact with family, experience of victimisation, poor health, major problems with housing or neighbourhood, dissatisfaction with the quality of local services, no voluntary work and overall life satisfaction. The controlling variables are age, sex, qualification, ethnicity and region.
