Gender, Source Country Characteristics, and Labor Market Assimilation among Immigrants
利用1980-2000年人口普查数据，研究发现来自高女性劳动参与率国家的移民女性在劳动力供给上持续高于来自低参与率国家的女性，且最终完全赶上本地女性，而男性不受来源国女性参与率影响，反映了性别角色观念的作用。
Using 1980-–2000 Census data to study the impact of source country characteristics on married adult immigrants' labor supply assimilation profiles, we find that immigrant women from countries with high female labor supply persistently work more than those from low-female-supply countries. While both groups of women work less than comparable natives on arrival, women from high-female-participation countries eventually close the gap with natives entirely, and women from low-female-labor supply countries eliminate most of it. Men's labor supply is unaffected by source country female participation, suggesting that the findings on women reflect notions of gender roles. © 2011 The President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
