Her research interests are in immigration, family demography, and social inequality. Milly's ongoing dissertation research examines high-skilled immigration in the contemporary U.S., particularly how immigration restrictions shape labor market experiences, legal membership, and the retention of high-skilled immigrants (e.g., H-1B visa holders) in the United States. Her work draws on administrative data, nationally representative survey data, and an original longitudinal study. Her past research projects have examined fertility and child care during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and union formation in China.
