Abstract

We describe a Family Investment Model: family members can increase future income by pursuing activities that increase their own skill levels or, by engaging in activities that support the human capital investment of other family members. The groups with the largest expected growth in immigrant men’s earnings (Filipinos, Koreans, and Chinese, followed by Indians) have the highest unexplained labor force participation of married women. The groups with the smallest expected growth in men’s earnings (Japanese and the benchmark group of Europeans and Canadians) have the lowest female participation rates.
