“…In addition, it is possible that immigrants who naturalize will invest heavily in human capital specific to the host country that will in turn lead to earnings growth. Similar results are found in other European and North American studies (DeVoretz and Pivnenko 2005;Fougère and Safi 2009;Zhou and Lee 2013;Ivļevs and King 2012;Steinhardt 2012). In contrast, Bratsberg and Raaum (2011) find no positive impact-and even a negative impact-of citizenship on the labour market outcomes of immigrants in Norway.…”

Using a unique administrative dataset, this study investigates the employment and earnings trajectories of temporary foreign workers (TFWs) during the years surrounding their acquisition of permanent residence in Canada. If the labour market assimilation of TFWs follows a smooth trajectory in the absence of acquisition of permanent residence, any kinks that occur in employment rates and earnings in or after the year when TFWs become permanent residents might plausibly result from the transition to permanent residence. The main finding of the study is that the labour market outcomes of different groups of TFWs in Canada follow different temporal patterns depending on the TFWs' skill level and work permit type. Gains in labour market outcomes resulting from the acquisition of permanent residence appear to be greater for holders of an open work permit and for live-in caregivers than for highly skilled TFWs.

“…Conversely, when they used less family support, the association between perceived racial discrimination and psychological distress was significantly positive for those with low self-esteem, but not for those with high self-esteem. Moreover, two studies examined a glass ceiling effect (i.e., unequal treatment for the foreign born) on Asian immigrants in the U.S. Zhou and Lee (2013) found that higher education significantly boosted the wage level of Asian immigrant women with U.S. citizenship but not of Asian immigrant women without U.S. citizenship.…”

This 2014 review of Asian American psychology is the sixth review in the series. It includes 316 articles that met the inclusion criteria established by the past five annual reviews. Featured articles were derived from three sources: 137 were generated via the search term "Asian American" in PyscINFO, 111 were generated via a search for specific Asian American ethnic groups, and 32 were generated via author searches of articles that met the inclusion criteria. The top primary topic was health and health-related behaviors, the most frequently employed study design was crosssectional, and the most studied Asian American ethnic group was Chinese. This year's review includes information on the target population of the primary topic, the age range and developmental period of participants, and whether the study design was cross-sectional or longitudinal. It also identifies top authors and journals contributing to the 2014 annual review. These new features reveal that the most common target population of the primary topic was Correspondence concerning this article should be sent to Su Yeong Kim, Department of Human Development and Family Sciences, 108 E Dean Keeton St., Stop A2702, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712. su.yeong.kim@utexas.edu.

Keywords review; Asian Americans, 2014The annual review of Asian American psychology facilitates a comprehensive, year-to-year understanding of the field by summarizing the major research topics and methodology used in Asian American psychology. Comparison of multiple annual reviews reveals past, current, and emerging trends. Illuminating these trends can be informative for new and experienced scholars alike, who can utilize the reviews to synthesize past and current research. This will help them identify emerging trends in order to plan future research that will make a meaningful contribution to scholarship on Asian American psychology. The present annual review uses the format established by the past five annual reviews, with the addition of new features for future annual reviews to consider. Like past reviews, the current issue presents major trends by primary topic, methodological design, and participant characteristics (e.g., average age and ethnicity). This review contributes a developmental perspective by including age range and developmental period in our categorization of participants, and by considering cross-...

“…Although little work exists that makes explicit motherhood penalty comparisons between Asian and nonAsian women, research has found that high-skilled Asian women are less likely to reduce their work hours than similarly skilled white women (Greenman 2011). Zhou and Lee (2013) found no motherhood penalty among Asian women.…”

Feminized Intergenerational Mobility Without Assimilation? Post-1965 U.S. Immigrants and the Gender Revolution

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Women in the United States have made significant socioeconomic advances over the last generation. The second generation of post-1965 immigrants came of age during this "gender revolution." However, assimilation theories focus mainly on racial/ethnic trajectories. Do gendered trajectories between and within groups better capture mobility patterns? Using the 1980 decennial census and the 2003-2007 Current Population Survey (CPS), we observe the socioeconomic status of Latino and Asian immigrant parents and their second-generation children 25 years later. We compare the educational, occupational, and earnings attainment of second-generation daughters and sons with that of their immigrant mothers and fathers. We simultaneously compare those socioeconomic trajectories with a U.S.-born white, non-Latino reference group. We find that second-generation women experience greater status attainment than both their mothers and their male counterparts, but the earnings of second-generation women lag behind those of men. However, because white mainstream women experienced similar intergenerational mobility, many gaps between the second generation and the mainstream remain. These patterns remain even after we control for parenthood status. With feminized intergenerational mobility occurring similarly across race, the racial/ethnic gaps observed in 1980 narrow but persist into the next generation for many outcomes. Both gender and race shape mobility trajectories, so ignoring either leads to an incomplete picture of assimilation.
