Abstract: Abstract We show that for all Asian groups from economically developing countries, the earnings gap between Asian and West European immigrants in family income is smaller than the gap in male income alone. The gap in family income is mitigated primarily because married women from economically developing countries are more likely to work and contribute a higher fraction of family income than do married women from Western Europe. As with West European immigrants, Japanese men have high initial earnings upon arrival and their wives have low rates of labor market participation.
