Abstract: Income differences across migrant groups in the Netherlands: an intergenerational perspectiveThis paper investigates income disparities across natives and the most prominent migrant groups in the Netherlands, those with a Moroccan, Turkish, Surinamese, or Antillean background.We use administrative data on incomes to estimate the relationship between child income and parental income for natives and each of the migrant groups separately.On average, migrant children end up lower in the income distribution compared to native children, even if their parents have equal incomes.
