Abstract: Abstract Historically very little research has focused on Indochinese refugee women/wives’ propensity to work, on their number of hours in the labor market or on their earnings profiles. We find that among those who work, their initial wages are below those of West Europeans. Yet, over time, their wages grow faster than those of their West European counterparts do. In ten years, Vietnamese and Laotians attain a wage advantage over the West European married women, while the Cambodians almost close the wage gap that they initially faced. These results are remarkable given the low education levels of the Cambodian and Laotians.
