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,
Korean, and Vietnamese. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.'
