The New Second Generations (NSG) is the fastest-growing segment of Taiwan's population, and they will inevitably transform Taiwan's educational and labor's landscapes in the coming decades. Consequently, for Taiwan's prosperity, the NSG will need to become better integrated and to be better prepared to become productive and successful in adulthood. Since education is an important indicator of citizens' abilities to participate in shared governance, my dissertation intended to examine educational outcomes and the reasons beyond among the NSG by analyzing Taiwanese Upper Secondary Dataset (TUSD) with generalized ordered logit regression models.My dissertation found evidence in Taiwan both for the "immigrant paradox" and "immigrant risks." The children with Chinese mothers seemed to outperform their peers with native mothers while children with Southeastern Asian mothers experienced educational disadvantages. Furthermore, my findings indicate that parental involvement was associated with students' academic outcomes, but that this relationship varied by mother's country of origin. For children of Southeast Asian immigrants, the teacher-parent and parent-parent relationships were beneficial to children's success. These children benefited more than did children with native mothers in terms of educational outcomes. In other words, children with Southeast Asian mothers tended to achieve a higher grade in both Math and English, as compared to children with two Taiwanese parents, if parents are involved in school affairs.Consequently, my dissertation provides evidence to support a new "Bridge for Children" program (hereafter the Bridge). The aim of the Bridge is to bolster parental involvement of immigrant parents and their children's school success. The Bridge's core values should be Connection, Competence, and Competitiveness. The Bridge would highlight the importance of communications and interactions among children of immigrants, immigrants, and educators. These positive connections and interactions would improve or build up the competence of children as well as immigrant mothers. Ultimately, it would bring about prosperity and success both nationally and individually.
