熟练掌握东道国语言是否会影响移民的社会成果?本文旨在通过估计英语语言技能对英格兰和威尔士移民的教育,健康和生育结果的因果关系来解决这个问题。我们利用抵达英国时的年龄构建了一个语言技能工具,利用幼儿比年长儿童更容易学习语言的现象。使用一个独特的个人层面的数据集,将2011年人口普查数据与生活事件记录联系起来,我们发现,更好的英语语言技能显着提高教育程度和成人健康,并影响生育行为,但不影响儿童健康。补充分析表明,更高的教育程度,由于更好的英语语言技能是一个可能的重要渠道,通过英语水平影响移民的健康。
Does proficiency in host-country language affect immigrant social outcomes? This paper aims to address this question by estimating the causal effects of English language skills on education, health and fertility outcomes of immigrants in England and Wales. We construct an instrument for language skills using age at arrival in the United Kingdom, exploiting the phenomenon that young children learn languages more easily than older children. Using a unique individual-level dataset that links the 2011 Census data to life event records, we find that better English language skills significantly improve educational attainment and adult health, and affect fertility behaviour, but do not affect child health. Supplementary analysis suggests that a higher educational attainment as a result of better English language skills is a possibly important channel though which English proficiency affects immigrant health.
