A Multilevel Modelling Approach to Measuring Changing Patterns of Ethnic Composition and Segregation among London Secondary Schools , 2001 - 2010

چکیده
Multilevel binomial logistic regression has recently been proposed for the special case of statistically modelling the changing composition and segregation of two groups of individuals over two occasions among organisational units, enabling inferences to be made about the underlying social processes which generate these patterns. A simulation method can then be used to reexpress the model parameters in the metric of any desired two-group segregation index. In the current paper, we generalise this combined modelling and simulation approach by proposing multilevel random-coefficient multinomial logistic regression for the general case of statistically modelling the changing composition and segregation of multiple groups of individuals over multiple occasions and multiple organisational scales. We illustrate this combined approach with an application to modelling three-group white-black-Asian ethnic composition and segregation among London secondary schools and local authorities during the first decade of the 21st century.

School segregation in multi-ethnic England
Aspects of both educational development and multi-cultural inter-relationships are frequently related to school ethnic composition, with arguments that ethnically segregated schools both retard the development of multi-ethnic understanding and influence educational performance. In this paper, we employ data on their ethnic composition to portray the extent of segregation in English secondary sc...
متن کاملMultilevel Modeling of Social Segregation
The traditional approach to measuring segregation is based upon descriptive, non-model-based indices. A recently proposed alternative is multilevel modeling. The authors further develop the argument for a multilevel modeling approach by first describing and expanding upon its notable advantages, which include an ability to model segregation at a number of scales simultaneously. The authors then...
متن کاملEthnic Segregation in England’s Schools
We document ethnic segregation in secondary schools in England in 2001 in order to contribute to the debate on the degree of ethnic group social integration. We use indices of dissimilarity and isolation to compare the patterns of segregation across nine ethnic groups. We find that levels of ethnic segregation in England’s schools are high, with considerable variation both across LEAs and acros...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between ethnicity, ethnic intermarriage, ethnic composition of schools and adolescent alcohol use. DESIGN Data were derived from the National Survey of Students in the Netherlands, a repeated, nationally representative, cross-sectional study of students aged 11-20 in secondary school. Surveys conducted in 1994, 1996, 1999, and 2001 were pooled, leading to ...

Abstract We provide evidence on the extent of ethnic segregation experienced by children across secondary schools and neighbourhoods (wards). Using 2001 Schools Census and Population Census data we employ the indices of dissimilarity and isolation and compare patterns of segregation across nine ethnic groups, and across Local Education Authorities in England. Looking at both schools and neighbo...
