Abstract: This thesis will investigate three topics of interest in the United States: adult labor market outcomes of child immigrants, i.e. the "1.5 generation", determinants of bilingualism among children, and finally, forecasts of income inequality. Together, these essays discuss the accumulation of human capital, its role in the determination of earnings for immigrants and native-born, and the implications of these changing patterns for inequality forecasting.
