Age at Arrival, Economic Assimilation, and the Occupational-Workplace Sorting of Childhood Immigrants


Are Skeie Hermansen
University of Oslo and Stockholm University



Abstract:
Childhood immigrants are likely to face a series of developmental challenges related to language learning, identity formation and possible traumas, changing educational opportunities and standards of living, and the acquisition of a broad set of skills needed to thrive in the knowledge-intensive labor markets of rich, developed societies. In this talk, I address how childhood immigrants' age at arrival in a new country affects adult economic assimilation and labor market sorting across occupations and workplaces. Using rich Norwegian administrative data with measures of adult earnings, occupational skill requirements, and workplace contexts, the study presented employs a sibling comparison design that allows me to disentangle the effects of age at arrival on adult outcomes from all factors shared within sibships in immigrant families. Results from sibling fixed-effects models show, first, progressively stronger adverse effects of older ages at arrival across all segments of earnings distribution. Second, older-arriving childhood immigrants increasingly sort into occupations with higher physical demands and lower requirements for communicative, socioemotional, and math-logic skills. Third, older-arriving childhood immigrants increasingly sort into workplaces where their coworkers are lower paid, less educated, and more often immigrants. These age-at-arrival gradients are substantively stronger among children with less-educated immigrant parents and who arrive from low-income origin regions. Overall, immigration at later stages of childhood and adolescent development seems to have broad and lasting impacts on children's adult economic productivity, occupational skill specialization, and workplace segregation.
