When you interview the various migrants coming in they often talk about their second generation, they talk about their children and they're doing this to have a better life for the children.'- Reza Hasmath Hasmath said that in his research, which included analysing statistics and interviewing migrants, second-generation immigrants made less money, despite being less willing to take low status and low-paying jobs. He said part of the reason for the income gap is that migrants don't have access to the same social networks as the general population. He also found they were less likely to have professional jobs or hold management positions. "When you interview the various migrants coming in they often talk about their second generation, they talk about their children and they're doing this to have a better life for the children," said Hasmath.
