  > Yes the UK is This isn't adjusted by immigrant education/background though? e.g. in the UK a slightly higher proportion of foreign born residents have tertiary degrees, in France it's the opposite (especially if we look at Île-de-France). Australia especially is extremely picky (e.g. 60% (immigrants) vs 40%(native)) https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/a0fc61dd-en.pdf?expires=1721640824&id=id&accname=guest&checksum=C6401CEDAE7ED8FADA75B666C12CD245 https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/a0fc61dd-en.pdf?expi... And I assume there might be other significant cultural/class/etc. differences. e.g. in the US 53% of all Arab-Americans are Christian. I can't quickly find any statistics but I assume in Europe the ratio is very different. Not saying that this specific example necessarily has an impact but differences in other characteristics might. Generally English speaking countries tend to have and advantage at attracting highly educated/productive immigrants presumably both due to language and other cultural, economic and social factors. It's not at all surprising that their children do a better than average.
