Abstract:
Italy is a typical case of the Southern European model of immigrants’ labour
market integration, characterised by a trade-off between a low ethnic penalty
in terms of employment and a high ethnic penalty in terms of job quality.
This work studies whether the trade-off between employment and job quality
applies differently to the five main groups of immigrants in Italy, namely
Romanians, Albanians, Moroccans, Chinese, and Ukrainians. It asks a) if and
to what extent these groups follow the main typical model of immigrants’
labour market inclusion in Italy, and b) if this model changes over years spent
in the host country. Using data from the Italian Labour Force Survey (2009-
2020), results show remarkable heterogeneity in the degree of ethnic penalty
across ethnic origins and genders. Some groups follow the Southern
European model (Romanians and Ukrainians), whereas others are penalized
on both employment and job quality (Moroccan women) and others are fully
integrated in the Italian labour market (Chinese and, to a lower extent,
Albanian men). Models of immigrants’ occupational inclusion also change
over time spent in the host country. Most immigrants move towards a more
favourable model over time (e.g., Albanians and Moroccans), although some
groups remain trapped in the lowest positions of the labour market (e.g.,
Romanians and Ukrainians).
