WASHINGTON - "Tiger Mother" Amy Chua may be right about her approach to educating her daughters as a recent report shows that the younger generation of Chinese-Americans are earning less than their predecessors.
The report "A New Profile of Chinese-Americans in a New Century", so far the most complete study about Chinese-Americans, reveals that, contrary to popular perceptions, Chinese-Americans do not earn higher incomes with each successive generation.
The "1.5 generation", Chinese-Americans born outside the United States and mainly educated in the country, receive the highest returns on their educational levels of any generation.
