Immigrant Women's Labor Force Integration: Human Capital and Family Characteristics
Immigrant Women's Labor Force Integration: Human Capital and Family Characteristics
Abstract
Despite important contributions foreign-born women make to the United States labor market, we know little about their experience. Research on women and the labor market rarely incorporate foreign-born women, while research on immigrant integration in the labor market tends to focus on men. Using the 2006 American Community Survey, this paper evaluates the influence human capital and family characteristics have on labor force participation and full-time, year-round employment of foreign-born women compared to foreign-born men and native men and women.
