Gender Dissimilarities in Human Capital Transferability of Cuban Immigrants in the US: A Clustering Quantile Regression Coefficients Approach with Consideration of Implications for Sustainability
Abstract:Female participation in the labor market has been increasing over time. Despite the fact that the level of education among women has also increased considerably, the wage gap has not narrowed to the same extent. This dichotomy presents an important challenge that the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals with respect to gender inequities must address. Hispanics constitute the largest minority group in the US, totaling 60.6 million people (18.5% of the total US population in 2020). Cubans make up the thi… Show more
“…Finally, "Gender Dissimilarities in Human Capital Transferability of Cuban Immigrants in the US: A Clustering Quantile Regression Coefficients Approach with Considerations of Implications for Sustainability" by Cobas-Valdes and Fernandez-Macho [4] examines the specific conditions of human capital transferability for Cuban immigrants. They employ a quantile regression and hierarchical clustering model to document that being a woman presents the most robust negative effect on earnings among immigrants, regardless of these women's gains in educational attainment.…”
