IIMMLA was supported by the Russell Sage Foundation. Since 1991, the Russell Sage Foundation has funded a program of research aimed at assessing how well the young adult offspring of recent immigrants are faring as they move through American schools and into the labor market. Two previous major studies have begun to tell us about the paths to incorporation of the children of contemporary immigrants: The Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS), and the Immigrant Second Generation in New York study. The Immigration and Intergenerational Mobility in Metropolitan Los Angeles study is the third major initiative analyzing the progress of the new second generation in the United States. The Immigration and Intergenerational Mobility in Metropolitan Los Angeles (IIMMLA) study focused on young adult children of immigrants (1.5- and second-generation) in greater Los Angeles. IIMMLA investigated mobility among young adult (ages 20-39) children of immigrants in metropolitan Los Angeles and, in the case of the Mexican-origin population there, among young adult members of the third- or later generations. The five-county Los Angeles metropolitan area (Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside and San Bernardino counties) contains the largest concentrations of Mexicans, Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Filipinos, Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, and other nationalities in the United States. The diverse migration histories and modes of incorporation of these groups made the Los Angeles metropolitan area a strategic choice for a comparison study of the pathways of immigrant incorporation and mobility from one generation to the next. The IIMMLA study compared six foreign-born (1.5-generation) and foreign-parentage (second-generation) groups (Mexicans, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Koreans, Chinese, and Central Americans from Guatemala and El Salvador) with three native-born and native-parentage comparison groups (third- or later-generation Mexican Americans, and non-Hispanic Whites and Blacks). The targeted groups represent both the diversity of modes of incorporation in the United States and the range of occupational backgrounds and immigration status among contemporary immigrants (from professionals and entrepreneurs to laborers, refugees, and unauthorized migrants). The surveys provide basic demographic information as well as extensive data about socio-cultural orientation and mobility (e.g., language use, ethnic identity, religion, remittances, intermarriage, experiences of discrimination), economic mobility (e.g., parents' background, respondents' education, first and current job, wealth and income, encounters with the law), geographic mobility (childhood and present neighborhood of residence), and civic engagement and politics (political attitudes, voting behavior, as well as naturalization and transnational ties).

The China Multi-Generational Panel Dataset - Liaoning (CMGPD-LN) is drawn from the population registers compiled by the Imperial Household Agency (neiwufu) in Shengjing, currently the northeast Chinese province of Liaoning, between 1749 and 1909. It provides 1.5 million triennial observations of more than 260,000 residents from 698 communities. The population mainly consists of immigrants from North China who settled in rural Liaoning during the early eighteenth century, and their descendants. The data provide socioeconomic, demographic, and other characteristics for individuals, households, and communities, and record demographic outcomes such as marriage, fertility, and mortality. The data also record specific disabilities for a subset of adult males. Additionally, the collection includes monthly and annual grain price data, custom records for the city of Yingkou, as well as information regarding natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, and earthquakes. This dataset is unique among publicly available population databases because of its time span, volume, detail, and completeness of recording, and because it provides longitudinal data not just on individuals, but on their households, descent groups, and communities.

Yunnan Restaurant Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the Global Yunnan Restaurant market size was valued at $2.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $5.4 billion by 2033, expanding at a robust CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2033. One of the primary factors fueling this remarkable growth is the surging global interest in regional Chinese cuisines, particularly Yunnan’s distinctive flavor profiles, coupled with the rising trend of culinary tourism and adventurous dining experiences. The market’s expansion is further supported by growing consumer demand for authentic ethnic cuisine, the proliferation of digital food delivery platforms, and a shift in dining habits among younger demographics seeking both traditional and innovative food experiences.

Regional Outlook

Asia Pacific currently commands the largest share of the Yunnan Restaurant market, accounting for over 48% of global revenue in 2024. This dominance is attributed to the region’s deep-rooted culinary heritage, high population density, and strong affinity for regional Chinese cuisines. The presence of Yunnan itself within China, coupled with the growing middle class and increasing disposable incomes across major urban centers such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, has fostered a mature and competitive restaurant ecosystem. Government initiatives promoting Chinese cultural exports, alongside a thriving domestic tourism sector, further amplify the market’s scale. Additionally, the emergence of Yunnan-style restaurants in Southeast Asian countries, driven by cross-border cultural exchange and migration, consolidates Asia Pacific’s position as the epicenter of Yunnan cuisine’s global proliferation.

In contrast, North America stands out as the fastest-growing region, projected to achieve a CAGR of 13.7% from 2025 to 2033. This rapid growth is propelled by increasing multiculturalism, the expanding Asian diaspora, and evolving consumer palates that favor authentic and diverse dining experiences. Major metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Vancouver have witnessed a surge in Yunnan restaurant openings, fueled by venture capital investments, celebrity chef endorsements, and strategic partnerships with food delivery platforms. The region’s robust restaurant infrastructure, combined with innovative marketing campaigns and social media-driven food trends, has amplified awareness and demand for Yunnan cuisine. Furthermore, North America’s dynamic foodservice industry is characterized by early adoption of technology, which enhances operational efficiency and customer engagement for Yunnan restaurant operators.

Meanwhile, emerging economies in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa present unique adoption challenges and opportunities for the Yunnan Restaurant market. While these regions collectively account for a smaller market share, there is a noticeable uptick in demand for specialty and fusion cuisines among urban, affluent consumers. However, market penetration is hindered by factors such as limited awareness of Yunnan cuisine, a shortage of trained culinary professionals, and complex import regulations for specialty ingredients. Despite these barriers, targeted marketing initiatives, cultural exchange programs, and government-led tourism promotions are gradually fostering localized demand. Policy reforms aimed at supporting small and medium-sized restaurants, along with the expansion of international food chains, are expected to catalyze further growth in these emerging markets over the next decade.

Malatang Restaurant Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the Global Malatang Restaurant market size was valued at $12.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $27.8 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 9.4% during 2024–2033. One of the primary factors fueling this robust growth is the increasing global appetite for authentic and customizable Asian street food experiences, particularly as consumers seek novel, interactive dining options that blend traditional flavors with modern convenience. The rising popularity of Malatang—a customizable, spicy hot pot dish originating from Sichuan, China—reflects a broader trend toward experiential dining, which is being embraced by a diverse demographic across both developed and emerging markets. This dynamic, coupled with the expansion of delivery and takeaway services, is reshaping the competitive landscape and driving new investments in the Malatang Restaurant market worldwide.

Regional Outlook

Asia Pacific currently holds the largest share of the Malatang Restaurant market, accounting for more than 58% of global revenue in 2024. This dominance is attributed to the region's rich culinary heritage, high population density, and the cultural significance of Malatang as a staple street food in countries such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea. Urban centers like Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu have witnessed a proliferation of both traditional and modern Malatang outlets, supported by mature supply chains and robust foodservice infrastructures. The region benefits from a deep-rooted consumer familiarity with spicy hot pot cuisine, as well as government initiatives that promote local food tourism and small business development. Furthermore, the presence of established market players and innovative startups has led to intense competition and continuous menu innovation, further cementing Asia Pacific’s leadership position in the global Malatang Restaurant industry.

North America is emerging as the fastest-growing region in the Malatang Restaurant market, with a projected CAGR of 12.1% from 2024 to 2033. The rapid expansion in this region is driven by a growing multicultural population, increasing interest in authentic Asian cuisines, and the proliferation of food delivery platforms. Major metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Vancouver are seeing a surge in Malatang restaurant openings, often led by Chinese diaspora entrepreneurs and innovative fusion concepts. The willingness of North American consumers to explore bold flavors and customizable dining experiences has fueled demand, while investments in digital ordering and ghost kitchen models have made Malatang more accessible than ever. Additionally, strategic partnerships with food aggregators and targeted marketing campaigns are accelerating market penetration, making North America a vital growth engine for the global Malatang Restaurant market.

In emerging economies across Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, the adoption of Malatang restaurants is gaining momentum but faces several challenges. These regions collectively account for a modest share of the global market, yet they offer significant untapped potential due to rising urbanization, a burgeoning middle class, and an increasing openness to international cuisines. However, localized demand is often tempered by supply chain constraints, limited consumer awareness, and the need to adapt traditional Malatang recipes to suit regional palates and dietary preferences. Policy impacts, such as import regulations on specialty ingredients and varying standards for food safety, also play a role in shaping market entry strategies. Despite these hurdles, the gradual introduction of Malatang through pop-up events, food festivals, and strategic franchise partnerships is laying the groundwork for future growth in these promising markets.
