锟斤拷锟斤拷Chinese Americans in the United States earn less than non-Hispanic Whites of the same educational level, despite having a higher educational level than the average population, a study has said.

锟斤拷锟斤拷The compilers of a 64-page report, A Portrait of Chinese Americans, analyzed data from the US Bureau of Census and the American Community Survey of 2006, science portal EurekAlert! Chinese reported last week.

锟斤拷锟斤拷The study, jointly carried out by the University of Maryland and the Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA), said there are twice as many college degree holders among Chinese Americans aged 25 and above than among the general population, but they earn less than non-Hispanic Whites of all levels of education.

锟斤拷锟斤拷"Chinese American men earn $5,000 to $15,000 less than non-Hispanic Whites with the same level of education," the report said.

锟斤拷锟斤拷The reasons behind the discrepancy include racial discrimination, perceptions of "a lack of leadership potential", and differences between Chinese Americans and the majority in "standing out" and "receiving recognition", Professor Larry Hajime Shinagawa of the University of Maryland, who led the study team, said.

锟斤拷锟斤拷Members of the "1.5 generation" - those who arrived in the US aged 15 or younger - receive the highest returns on their educational achievements, it said.

锟斤拷锟斤拷This is because these people have better language skills than their parents, the first generation, and are generally better educated, Michael Lin, executive director of the OCA and member of the research team, said.

锟斤拷锟斤拷The first generation has also not been totally Americanized, and still "maintains a drive" to pursue professional careers, he said.

锟斤拷锟斤拷While Shinagawa is optimistic about the future for Chinese Americans, he said the study implies a need for the development of "constituency groups" among Chinese and Asian Americans in the workplace that can lead to recognition, protection and advocacy.
