This article uses data from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study. It focuses on young adults’ educational and occupational paths over a ten-year period. Research has shown that females tend to get higher grades than boys in immigrant families. This is surprising because this pattern is completely different from their home countries where the women are less educated than the men. The gender roles are reversed in the U.S.

Immigration from Vietnam to the U.S. creates a lot of stress, frustration, anxiety, marital problems, and insecurity. Men are used to having authority over women, but that begins to change when they immigrate to the U.S. Women gain authority and status outside the home, while men begin to lose authority and status outside the home. Women begin to enter the labor force, while the men may be under-or unemployed. The social structures and norms are changed.

Immigrants who move to a new country begin to make a different family life, this includes both the past cultural traditions and the traditions of the new country as well. There is pressure for immigrants to maintain their gender roles. In the U.S., women have more influence on the family than they did back home, because there are more opportunities to change roles. The traditional patterns of authority are altered when women are able to work outside the home. This creates some economic independence.
