Time use of youths by immigrant and native-born parents: ATUS results.

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: A study based on the American Time Use Survey finds that, although native-born and immigrant youths pass their days in similar ways, Latino and Asian immigrant youths spend more time studying and less time in paid employment than do native-born youths; more time devoted to study may be a mechanism by which immigrants achieve educational mobility.
