AB - This study examines changes in educational aspirations among immigrantbackground adolescents in South Korea, with particular attention to migration background and acculturation. The findings indicate that adolescents from late-entry immigrant and foreign-parent families initially report higher aspirations than those from international-marriage families. However, the relative advantage of the foreign-parent group declines over time, whilst the difference for the late-entry group remains broadly stable. National identity and bicultural acceptance are positively associated with educational aspirations, whereas perceived discrimination shows no statistically significant association. These findings suggest that educational aspirations and their development vary across immigrantbackground groups, highlighting the importance of migration timing and family composition alongside conventional distinctions based on immigrant generation.
