- Abstract: We use data on Mexican and Chinese immigrants in the US to calculate the average marginal effects of residential and occupational segregation on immigrants' ability to speak English, and similarly the effects of English fluency of family members. Our results confirm that residential segregation is generally inversely related to English language proficiency of immigrants, except for skilled Chinese immigrants. Allowing for occupational fixed effects, the minority population share at the place of work is relevant for proficiency in English among skilled Chinese, but not for Mexicans and unskilled Chinese. We also find that the presence of English-speaking adults in the household increases the probability of immigrants' proficiency in English. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract: Resumen Se han utilizado datos sobre inmigrantes mexicanos y chinos en los EE. UU. para calcular los efectos marginales promedio de la segregación residencial y ocupacional sobre la capacidad de los inmigrantes de hablar inglés, y de manera similar los efectos de la fluidez en inglés de los miembros de la familia. Los resultados confirman que la segregación residencial está por lo general inversamente relacionada con el dominio del inglés por los inmigrantes, a excepción de los inmigrantes chinos cualificados. Teniendo en cuenta los efectos fijos ocupacionales, la proporción de la población minoritaria en el lugar de trabajo es relevante para el dominio del inglés entre chinos cualificados, pero no para los mexicanos y los chinos no cualificados. También se encontró que la presencia de adultos capaces de hablar inglés en el hogar aumenta la probabilidad del dominio del inglés por los inmigrantes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
