Zusammenfassung
Using theories of social inequality and migration, we combine the research strands dealing with study-related international mobility and with migration-related inequalities in higher education. Based on data from the 20th German Social Survey, we examine mechanisms through which a migration background may influence whether students in Germany intend to study abroad. Logistic regressions show that students with a migration background tend to be disadvantaged regarding their social background, which reduces their likelihood of intending to study in a different country. They receive less financial support from their parents and worry more about additional expenses, both of which is negatively associated with an intention to study abroad. However, superior language skills help first-generation migrants to compensate for their socio-economic disadvantages. Second-generation migrants can even over-compensate by additionally benefiting from a good socio-economic situation. Our results align with the broader evidence that students with a migration background are not principally disadvantaged in the German higher education system, given that they have similar socio-economic preconditions. When it comes to studying abroad, their migration-specific experiences and competences actually turn out to be resources.
