Immigrant Assimilation Pre and Post Labour Market Entry: Evidence from the UK Labour Force Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
We estimate models of employment an earnings for a sample of white and non-white male immigrants drawn from the Labour Force Survey between 1993 and 2004. Immigrants who arrived to enter the labour market (labour market entrants) are distinguished from those who arrived to complete their education (education entrants). Diverse patterns of labour market assimilation are found depending on ethnicity and immigrant type. Amongst labour market entrants, whites do better than non-whites whilst among education entrants, highly qualified prime age non-whites perform as well as their white counterparts. Relative to white natives, labour market outcomes for all immigrant groups have a tendency to decline with age.

متن کاملConflict-induced displacement and labour market outcomes: evidence from post-war Bosnia & Herzegovina∗
This study uses a longitudinal data source to investigate the effects of conflict-induced displacement on labour market outcomes for men and women aged 18-64 in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina.
