abstract: 'Previous research on understanding race-ethnic differentials in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and economic contributions by married women has primarily
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
focused on Blacks, Hispanics, or Whites. This study investigates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variations in wives'' earning contributions as measured by wives earnings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as a proportion of total annual household earnings among six Asian
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups, Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vietnamese relative to native born non-Hispanic White. I disaggregate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the six Asian groups by their ethnicity and nativity status. Using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pooled data from 2009-2011 American Community Survey, the findings show
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significance of human capital, hours of paid labor market engagement and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nativity status. There is strong and negative association between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
husbands'' human capital and labor supply with wives'' earning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributions suggesting near universality of male-breadwinner status.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the commonalities, there is significant intergroup
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
diversity. While foreign born and native born Filipina wives despite
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their spouses'' reasonably high human capital and work hours, contribute
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one of the highest shares, the same cannot be said for the Asian Indians
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and Japanese. For foreign born Asian Indian and to some extent Japanese
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women, their high human capital is not translated to high earning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contribution after controlling for husband''s human capital. Further,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nativity status impacts groups differentially. Native born Vietnamese
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wives contribute the greatest. Overall, the findings underscore the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relevance of employing multiple conceptual frameworks in understanding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earning contributions of foreign and native born Asian wives belonging
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the six Asian groups, Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese,
