Abstract: Abstract Although the Vietnam War ended in 1975, the refugee flow from it—and the associated wars in Laos and Cambodia—continued for over two decades. Like the 1975–1980 cohort, the more recent migrants were mostly refugees. They arrived in the U.S. after spending years in refugee camps. Despite this backdrop, school attendance among the 1985–1990 cohort of Indochinese refugee men, compare favorably with those of the developing-country Asian immigrants, which exceeded those of West Europeans. We also find, measuring earnings by the median and within either the 1975–1980 or 1985–1990 cohort, an inverse relationship between entry earnings and earnings growth.
