Where do you come from, where do you go? Assessing skills gaps and labour market outcomes for young adults with different immigration backgrounds
Using PISA and PIAAC data from twelve OECD countries, we examine the gap in cognitive skills among immigrants and natives and evaluate how those differences have evolved over time. We also consider how demographics, family background and school quality explain the development of cognitive skills of young people with immigrant backgrounds. The results show, first, that some convergence in skills occurs between second-generation immigrants and nati…
Immigrants and earnings inequality across gender: Evidence from Hong Kong
Using 1991 to 2011 data from Hong Kong, this paper documents how the earnings distribution of immigrant and native workers changed over time and how the pattern differs by gender. To understand how immigrants of different origins relate to earnings inequality in Hong Kong, I decompose earnings inequality to explore how the changes in immigrants’ share of total earnings have affected the inequality. I find that the increase in overall inequality c…
One Country Two Peoples: Trends in the Assimilation and Separation of Hong Kong's Mainland-born Population
This article weighs the demographic evidence for either assimilation or separation among Hong Kong residents who were born in British Colonial Hong Kong or Mainland China. Using successive waves of Hong Kong census data from 1991 to 2011, we show the effects of nativity on four indicators of social distance and differentiation: residential segregation, linguistic assimilation, wage inequality and educational opportunity. On the one hand, there is…
Blurring Boundaries? Immigration and Exogamous Marriages in Hong Kong
This article uses micro-data from the Hong Kong census since 1991 to report trends in the integration of Chinese residents who were born either in Colonial Hong Kong or in Mainland China. We focus on marital exogamy by nativity for women aged 25-34. From 1991 to 2011, we found an increasing likelihood for Hong Kong native men and Mainland women to be married to one another. This increase reflects cross-border marriages. Such exogamous marriages w…
In Search of a Better Life: The Occupational Attainment of Rural and Urban Migrants in China
This article investigates the occupational attainment and job mobility of permanent rural-to-urban migrants and compares them with migrants who were born with an urban hukou. We examine how much of the gap in occupational-prestige scores between rural-to-urban and urban-to-urban migrants can be explained by differences in observable characteristics up to the time of migration. With controls for these characteristics, the difference in occupationa…
