Results from children who immigrated to the United States between ages zero and ten indicate that the impact of age of immigration on adult labor market outcomes is more negative for immigrants arriving from countries with poor childhood environments. 2016-06-16 English text Oberlin College Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=oberlin1464358161 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=oberlin1464358161 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
