The aim of this work is the study of the educational disadvantage in Italy among young people aged 15-24 years considering their migratory background and the different opportunities offered by their social background. The foreign origin population has only recently become big enough to allow systematic analyses of this phenomenon. To this purpose, data from the “Labor Force Survey” by Istat for the period 2015-2019 are employed. Results confirm that also in the Italian context the socioeconomic and cultural capital of the family of origin plays a pivotal role in reducing the risk of early school-leaving and in influencing choices regarding upper secondary school and university. In addition, net of the social class of origin, the migratory background exerts a significant effect for which, while second generations are more similar to natives in educational achievements, the integration of children of immigrants born abroad appears to be more difficult.

Keywords: educational inequality; educational choices; educational transitions; social classes; migrant background.
