Cultural fluency required? Interrogating ethnocentrism in the employment of white-collar Asian migrants in Japan
Scholars contend that Japanese firms hold white-collar foreign workers to a high bar for assimilation. This model of the ethnocentric firm suggests that Japan’s growing number of foreign-educated white-collar migrants should face steep labor market penalties compared to migrants educated in Japan because they have had fewer opportunities to familiarize themselves with Japanese working styles and norms. We test this hypothesis using a sample of 54…
Tainted leave
Scholars posit that the flexibility stigma-a belief that workers who use flexible workplace policies, such as parental and sick leave-exacerbates gender inequality. However, a large body of research argues that the smaller number of men who take leaves face even more severe stigma than women because they violate norms of masculinity as well as the employers' expectation that employees prioritize paid work. Empirical evidence in support of this cl…
When All Assistants Are Women, Are All Women Assistants? Gender Inequality and the Gender Composition of Support Roles
A growing literature examines whether women’s integration into management jobs erodes gender stereotypes and gender inequality. However, this literature neglects the other side of the status coin—women’s continued predominance in low-level support jobs. I theorize that what people see when they “look down” the occupational structural is more critical to the creation of status beliefs than what they see when they “look up,” and test this theory us…
Detangling capital from context
Researchers propose that novel measures of human capital, such as place of education or sending country GDP, can account for inequalities between foreign- and native-born persons that classic measures of human capital, such as years of education, leave unexplained. However, interpreting the relationship between these novel measures and outcomes of interest is challenging. In Western countries, variables such as sending country GDP, which are inte…
Economic Integration of Skilled Migrants in Japan
Scholars argue that institutional arrangements shape migrants’ economic integration trajectories, and yet few studies empirically substantiate this. This study identifies employment institutions in Japan that affect skilled foreign workers. We demonstrate that practices ostensibly introduced to benefit these workers are associated with lower pay, after adjusting for human capital and firm characteristics. High levels of gender inequality also sev…
Economic Integration of Skilled Migrants in Japan
Comparing the Experiences of Highly Skilled Labor Migrants in S weden and J apan
As labor markets become increasingly global, competition among industrialized nations to attract highly skilled workers from abroad has intensified. Spurred by concerns over future economic needs caused by the demographic challenges of an aging population, both J apan and S weden have joined this global competition. This article examines J apanese and S wedish immigration policies for highly skilled migrants and compares the highly skilled migran…

How Conformity to Labor Market Norms Increases Access to Job Search Assistance
Recent studies have shown that providing job search assistance to job seekers who violate labor market norms can be costly. Consequently, people with information about jobs are less willing to help deviant job seekers. This implies that job seekers' conformity to labor market norms should be useful in predicting receipt of job search assistance. The author tests this claim using data from Japan and finds evidence that deviant job seekers receive …
Why Asian Americans are Becoming Mainstream
In contrast to earlier waves of immigration, the post–1965 Asian immigration to the United States has not spawned an exclusionist backlash among native whites. Rather, the new Asian immigrants and their children are rapidly gaining access to the American mainstream. Whether in integrated residential communities, in colleges and universities, or in mainstream workplaces, Asian Americans' presence is ever more the rule, not the exception. The succe…
