Abstract: In this chapter, we investigate the reasons behind the low early education enrollment rates for six major immigrant and native groups, using new analyses of Census 2000 data. We begin by estimating early school enrollment rates for these groups and for whites from native families, and we then develop models to assess the relative importance of cultural and socioeconomic/structural influences in accounting for the enrollment gaps from which the minority groups suffer. By estimating the ranges of the potential influence of these two factors, we are better able to evaluate their relative roles.
