Over the years, we have witnessed a radical shift from traditional family structures to new family structures like single-parent, skipped-generation, and immigrant households. Parents are raising their children against a backdrop of widely diverse and constantly evolving family structures. Alongside such change, the world has continued to witness an increasing number of immigrants, which has immensely contributed to the increasing number and sizes of immigrant families. It is crucial to address the issues related to immigrant families, primarily as a result of the changing attitudes and values surrounding immigrant families and consequently their increase in number. Moreover, the dual-culture of immigrant families poses more challenges and barriers to immigrant families as they try to integrate into the host country. Their integration of immigrants into the education system faces a number of challenges, for example, their lack of proficiency in the host nation's official language. Besides, their learning experiences in the host country ultimately impact their long-term labour market integration. Thus, in this line, this dissertation focused on these two forms of integration. We examined the relationship between children from different family structures and their cognitive knowledge, focusing on children in Taiwan, and found that children from two-parent families have the highest test scores. Compared to children from two-parent families, children from skipped-generation households and single-parent households perform worse, while children from immigrant households tend to perform even better than children from traditional two-parent families. We also evaluated the test score differentials between children with single mothers of different nationalities and those of twoparent families, and found that children with either immigrant single mothers or native single mothers perform poorly. Among children of immigrant single mothers, children with mothers from Mainland China perform better than children with mothers from Southeast Asia or other immigrant mothers, owing to the fact that mothers from mainland China share the same mother language as Taiwan, which means that mothers are more likely to be involved in their children's learning process. This dissertation also focused on how the differences in cognitive and non-cognitive ability result in the differences in the pace of immigrant integration into the labour market, evaluated using individual income and income growth. It was established that, on average, cognitive skills have a significant impact on individuals' income, although they are economically insignificant, while cognitive skills do not play a role in their income growth. On the other hand, we found that non-cognitive skills have an insignificant impact on income and income growth. In addition, it was found that non-cognitive skills play a role in explaining income inequalities and income growth differences between immigrant groups, while cognitive skills only play a role in explaining income growth differences between immigrant groups.
