Language as Both Human Capital and Ethnicity

Author:
Krishna Pendakur   Ravi Pendakur  


Journal:
International Migration Review


Issue Date:
2002


Abstract(summary):

Estimates earning differentials for knowledge of 13 minority languages in three Canadian cities. Conditional on knowledge of a majority language, knowledge of a minority language relates to lower earnings, though the negative differential diminishes for languages with large local populations. This suggests a positive human capital effect that is for the most part swamped by a negative factor.
