“…First, previous studies on the association between immigrants' selectivity and labour market outcomes have measured selectivity as a group characteristic and often through proxies (e.g., Cohen & Kogan, 2006;van Tubergen, Maas, & Flap, 2004). Studies measuring immigrants' selectivity as an individual characteristic investigated its effects on their children's educational outcomes (Engzell, 2019;Ichou, 2014), on their destination country language acquisition (Spörlein & Kristen, 2019), on their self-perception in terms of social position (Engzell & Ichou, 2019), and on their health conditions (Ichou & Wallace, 2019). This paper is, to our knowledge, the first to investigate the association between immigrant selectivity as a direct, individual level measure and labour market outcomes of first-generation immigrants.…”
