Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Immigrant entrepreneurship is viewed positively for its role in immigrant economic adaptation. With the professionalization of children of self-employed immigrants, small business ownership is seen to promote intergenerational mobility. To examine what role immigrant entrepreneurship plays in the mobility of the second generation, this paper compares the educational and occupational achievements of children of professionals, children of entrepreneurs, and children of workers. The comparisons reveal that a greater proportion of children of professionals and children of entrepreneurs attended selective colleges, obtained professional occupations, and earned competitive salaries than children of workers. Despite the educational disadvantage of self-employed Chinese fathers compared to professionals, children of entrepreneurs attended selective colleges in higher numbers than did children of professionals. Although self-employed fathers had similar educational attainments as fathers who were manual workers, it was the children of entrepreneurs, rather than children of workers, that paralleled the educational and occupational achievements of children of professionals. This suggests that immigrant entrepreneurship can provide the resources for educational advancement of the second generation, serving as an important stepping-stone to intergenerational mobility.
