UCLA Anderson Professor on the Savings Habits of Immigrants – UCLA Anderson Review
UCLA Anderson Professor of Economics Paola Giulano, along with colleagues from the London School of Economics, recently published research on the savings habits of immigrant communities.
When individuals leave home, the team asked, what happens to the way that they save their money in the destination country? After observing 40,000 households in the United Kingdom, one of the largest destinations worldwide for immigrants, the team came up with a number of scenarios.
Basing their discoveries on total amount of monthly savings; tendency to save; and the degree to which wealth either changes or not over a period of time, the team revealed that families who saved in their home countries tended to save more across generations when they arrived in the UK. At the higher end of this scale were China and Ireland, and at the lower-saving end were Uganda and Pakistan.
