Title: | An analysis of unemployment among immigrant in the EU | Authors: | Pham Ngoc Thuy Dung | Keywords: | Immigration;Unemployment | Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | Vietnamese-German University | Abstract: | Economic integration of immigrants has not only become one of the most commonly discussed and debated issues in Europe, but also a popular academic topic for social researchers. Following the increasing literature on the topic, the paper analyzes the labor market performance in terms of unemployment risk and high-status attainment of different immigrant groups (i.e. immigrants and their sub-groups: first- and secondgeneration immigrants from different regions of the world) as compared to natives. Using pooled data from the European Social Survey (ESS) conducted between 2014 and 2019, the paper presents two sets of analyses with unemployment and highstatus attainment as dependent variables. For the unemployment analysis, the results show that the first-generation immigrants from Europe, from North African, Middle Eastern, and Central Asia; from Sub-Saharan Africa; and from Latin America face substantial unemployment disadvantages as compared to natives. In contrast, the first-generation immigrants from South and South East Asia; from East Asia; from the Caribbean; and from North America and Australasia, and the second-generation immigrants, regardless of their origins achieve parity with natives. In general, the whole picture seems that second-generation immigrants experience lower unemployment disadvantages than their parents. For the high-status attainment analysis, the results have a negative relation with the findings in the unemployment analysis. Most of the first-generation groups having a high probability of being unemployed have a low possibility to find a high-status job (as compared to natives). There is an exception for the first-generation immigrants from South and South East Asia, from East Asia, and from the Caribbean. Even they achieve parity with natives in terms of unemployment disadvantages, they experience a lower probability of attaining high-status jobs, as compared to natives. Similar to the results of the unemployment analysis, the first-generation from North America and Australasia and all of the second-generation immigrants achieve parity with natives in terms of highstatus attainment |
