The occupational integration of male migrants in Western European countries : assimilation or persistent disadvantage? / G. Ballarino, N. Panichella. - In: INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION. - ISSN 0020-7985. - 53:2(2015), pp. 338-352. [10.1111/imig.12105]
Abstract:
This paper looks at the migrants’ occupational integration process. Two main theoretical
perspectives are tested: the first one (assimilation view) claims that in the short-run migrants
are penalized, but as they settle in the receiving country they get integrated into the host
society; the second one (segmented assimilation view) claims that disadvantages persist in the
long-run. EU-LFS and ESS data are described and modelled, in order to compare the labour
market performances of migrants in four European old-receiving countries (Germany, France,
Great Britain and Sweden) and in two new-receiving countries (Spain and Italy) both in a
short-term and in a long-run perspective. We find that a) in the short-run, migrants’ labour
market condition is worst with respect to the natives; b) this gap decreases with older
migrants; c) the ethnic penalty disappears with the second generation, when they achieve a
level of education comparable to that of the natives.
