Chapter Chapter 22 in Human Capital Investment, 2020, pp 245-250 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Using INS statistics, we compare the occupational backgrounds of the first wave of Asian immigrants, those who entered the United States between 1870 and 1924, with those of the post-1965 Asian immigrants. In terms of pre-migration human capital, post-1965 Asian immigrants had higher levels of human capital than earlier immigrants did. Purely in terms of pre-migration human capital levels, the Indochinese refugees have more in common with America’s earliest Asian entrants than with the post-1965 developing-country Asian immigrants.
