Chapter 2 – Demographic Trends2.4. Foreign Population Aged under 15 in EuropeOver and above the study of immigration and the geographical origin of foreign populations within theEU, an examination of the age structure of the foreign population also provides some insight into thechallenges that international migration may represent for education systems in the countries affected byit. Figure 2.5 indicates the proportion of the foreign population aged under 15 in the total population ofpersons in this age-group.The proportion of young foreigners in the population of school age is under 6 % in the majority ofcountries for which data are available. The corresponding proportion is a little over 10 % in Germany andAustria, whereas it is very low in countries only recently affected by immigration. It is lower than 3 % inthe Czech Republic, Greece, Spain, Ireland, Hungary, Slovenia, Finland, the United Kingdom and Iceland.Luxembourg, in which over a third of the population aged less than 15 are of foreign nationality, is anexception.15Figure 2.5: Proportion of foreign nationals aged under 15in the total population of those aged under 15 at 1 January 200139% %1512129966330BECZDKDE(:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:)EE EL ES FR IE IT CY LV LT LU HU MT NL AT PL PT SI SK FI SE UK IS LI NO BG RO0BE CZ DK DE EE EL ES FR IE IT CY LV LT LU HU MT NL AT PL PT SI SK FI SE UK IS LI NO BG RO6.5 0.8 5.8 10.2 (:) 0.4 2.1 4.0 2.5 (:) (:) (:) (:) 39.3 0.6 (:) 4.2 10.5 (:) (:) 1.1 (:) 1.8 5.2 2.5 1.5 (:) 3.5 (:) (:)Source: Eurostat, Population and social conditions, demography, New Cronos (data obtained in February 2004).Additional notesGreece: 1998.France and Luxembourg: 1999.Ireland: The immigrant population aged under 15 is an estimate; the figure for the total population aged under 15 isa provisional estimate.Sweden: The total population aged under 15 is an estimate.United Kingdom: 2000, the population aged under 15 is an estimate.Iceland: 2000.25
Integrating Immigrant Children into Schools in Europe2.5. Presence of Immigrant Pupils Aged 15 in Education SystemsFigure 2.6, which has been prepared on the basis of replies obtained from 15-year-old pupils during thePISA international survey, shows the breakdown of the population of pupils aged 15 in accordance withtheir family origin in terms of the place of birth of individuals (parents and pupils). It would appear thatthe extent to which 15-year-old immigrant pupils are present in education systems varies from onecountry to the next.806040Figure 2.6: Proportion of immigrant pupils aged 15 (whose parents were born abroad) andnative 15-year-old pupils (one or both of whose parents were born in the country concerned)in the total population of pupils aged 15, 2000% %100100806040200BEfr✗ ✗ ✗ ✗ ✗ (:) ✗ ✗ ✗CZ DK DE EE EL ES FR IE IT CY LV LT LU HU MT NL AT PL PT SI SK FI SE ENG WLSBEdeBEnlNIRUKSCTISLINOBGRO200Immigrants Natives Countries not having participated in the data collectionBE BE UKfr nl CZ DK DE EL ES FR IE IT LV LU HU NL AT PL PT FI SE ENG NIR SCT IS LI NO BG RO18.3 7.1 1.1 6.2 15.2 4.8 2.0 12.0 2.3 0.9 22.1 34.2 1.7 (:) 9.7 0.3 3.2 1.3 10.5 10.7 3.8 2.2 0.8 20.6 4.6 0.4 0.281.7 93.0 98.9 93.8 84.8 95.2 98.0 88.0 97.7 99.1 77.9 65.8 98.3 (:) 90.4 99.7 96.9 98.7 89.5 89.4 96.2 97.8 99.2 79.4 95.4 99.6 99.8Source: OECD, PISA 2000 database.Additional noteNetherlands: The response rate to the PISA 2000 survey was considered to be too low for purposes of meaningfulcomparison. This is why the data (immigrants = 11.9; natives = 88.1) are not shown in the Figure. See the glossary forfurther details.Explanatory noteThis indicator has been calculated by dividing the number of pupils aged 15 in each category by the total number of15-year-old pupils. Both categories shown are based on the criteria of the place of birth of the parents and the pupilsaged 15.The group referred to as immigrants corresponds to replies of the type ‘both parents and the 15-year-old pupil bornabroad’ or ‘both parents born abroad and the 15-year-old pupil born in the country concerned’. The group referred toas natives corresponds to replies of the type ‘one parent born abroad’ and ‘both parents born in the countryconcerned’, irrespective of the pupil’s place of birth.In all countries, the most commonly encountered situation is that in which at least one of the parents of a15-year-old pupil was born in the country concerned. This group accounts for over 80 % of the populationin the great majority of countries. It is least represented in Luxembourg in which it corresponds to onlytwo-thirds of all pupils aged 15. It should be noted that the same group may also include pupils whosegrandparents migrated in the past.In the French Community of Belgium, Germany, France, Latvia, Sweden, the United Kingdom (England)and Liechtenstein, immigrant pupils covering all pupils whose parents were born abroad, account forover 10 % of pupils aged 15.26
