Representative Samples

Internationally there is a gap in high school completion rates for Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. In Australia, gap estimates are commonly based on lag indicators, precluding examination of underlying mechanisms. Using two longitudinal and representative samples of Australian youth, we explored differences in high school completion between Australian Indigenous and non-Indigenous rates and whether the gap varies for students of similar academic ability. Using an intersectional approach, we show the Indigenous gap varies by SES and location. Specifically, high SES and living in urban settings are protective factors for non-Indigenous students, but not so for Indigenous students. Results also show the Indigenous gap declined in response to government policy that increased the compulsory school leaving age.

The Relationship

This study explores the association between sanctuary policies and the high school completion and college enrollment of Hispanic undocumented youth. Sanctuary policies, which city, county, and/or state governments implement, prohibit local political leaders and police officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement officers regarding the questioning, detention, and deportation of undocumented immigrants. This study uses data from the American Community Survey and applies a difference-in-differences design. On average, my preferred specification detected no association with high school completion or college enrollment. These findings suggest that although these policies may help counteract immigration enforcement, they may not reduce uncertainty enough to have a significant relationship with educational outcomes.
