ABSTRACT
Although Asian-Americans as a group have higher levels of educational attainment than other ethnic minority groups, achievement across Asian subgroups also varies greatly, and within subgroups achievement between men and women varies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau (l993c), in 1990 about 38 percent of all Asian-American adults (25 years and over) had completed at least a bachelor's degree; across subgroups, the percentages ranged from lows of less than 10 percent among Cambodian, Hmong, and Laotian adults to a high of about 66 percent for Asian Indian men. In most Asian American subgroups, the percentage of adults with college degrees was higher for men than for women.
