WEDNESDAY 20 JULY 1111 University of Michigan, United States; 2 Instute for Social Research, University of Michigan, United StatesWe are conducng new research to invesgate unintended pregnancies during the transion to adulthood.Invesgaon of these issues requires detailed, ming-specific measures of atudinal and behavioral aspectsof relaonships (including sexual behavior), contracepve use, acvies that compete with childbearing (includingschool and work), and community context. Our invesgaon also requires detailed, ming-specificmeasures of beliefs, expectaons, and willingness to engage in behaviors related to unintended pregnancy,such as sexual relaonships, contracepon, pregnancy, and parenthood. Available data resources for studyingunintended pregnancy suffer from fundamental weaknesses including retrospecve reporng error.2.45 Analysis of Immigraon in Europe IIITo be held on July 20, 2011 from: 16:00 to 17:30, in room 315.1.Coordinated by: Mariya Aleksynska - CEPII, France2.45.1 Does ethnic diversity make your work beer? A longitudinal approach. (with Simonea Longhi)L. Fumagalli 11 University of Essex, United KingdomEmpirical and theorecal studies find a relaonship between ethnic diversity and indicators of performancesuch as producvity and growth. Moreover, research suggests that diversity facilitates problem solving andincreases creavity, but erodes trust and discourages the provision of public goods. However, these findingsare generally based on cross seconal data or on very imprecise measures of cultural diversity, which makes itdifficult to isolate causality.2.45.2 Educaonal inequalies across ethnic minories at the end of compulsory educaonM. Fernández-Reino 11 Universitat Pompeu Fabra, SpainIn my paper I try to disentangle the mechanisms that lie behind the differences in educaonal performanceat the end of compulsory educaon among ethnic minories in England. For this purpose, I use the first threewaves of the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England. Using binary logisc regressions, I invesgatethe variaons in achievement of 5 A*-C GCSE (including English and Maths) in the final examinaons, whichusually determines entering in the more academic track. As some studies have previously shown, there areconsiderable differences in achievement across ethnic groups in comparison to the White-Brish. While Indiansare on average outperforming autochthonous students, a higher proporon of Pakistani, Bangladeshi andBlack-Caribbean students are failing compared to White-Brish...2.45.3 Ethnic Identy and Labor Market Integraon: Evidence from DenmarkC. Gorinas 11 Århus University - The Danish Naonal Centre for Social Research, DenmarkEthnic identy – the degree of commitment of immigrants towards the country of origin and the host country– together with the economic integraon of minories are now central in the public debate. This paperexplores both identy formaon and the link between identy and employment for ethnic groups, exploingsurvey data from Denmark. Based on the two-dimensional acculturaon framework of Berry (1997), identyis modeled through both direct and composite measures successively following the methodologies of Nekbyand Rödin (2007), Bau and Zenou (2010) and Constant and Zimmermann (2008). First, I find that idenficaonwith the majority is posively associated with post-migraon characteriscs such as the pracce ofDanish at home and educaon gained in Denmark, and to some extent it is influenced by ethnic and religiousbackgrounds...
