More on social mobility

Jonathan Calder of Liberal England blogs the reverse side of something that I posted about a a few weeks ago. He is talking about why the children of (non-Muslim) Indian and Caribbean immigrants do so much better than the children of non-immigrants to better there social position. The answer in brief is
the tendency of migrant parents to encourage and expect their children to do well at school
In my post I noted that it was the Muslim attitude of putting Islam ahead of education that was why they did not do well at getting jobs and bettering their social position.
