“…Regarding previous works on migrants for the Spanish case, although the gender wage gap in this country has also been studied both from a national perspective (De la Rica and Ugidos, 1995;García et al, 2001;Gardeazábal and Ugidos, 2005;De la Rica et al, 2008) and from a comparative approach (Arulampalam et al, 2007;Gradín et al, 2010), labour market outcomes of migrant women in Spain had not received any particular attention from researchers, who usually focused their interest on the overall foreign-born population 3 . Recent examples of research on wage differentials and immigration, like the papers of Simón et al (2008), Canal-Domínguez and Rodríguez-Gutiérrez, or Antón et al (2010a and2010b), though documenting the issue of the earnings gap between migrants and natives not explained by human capital endowments, do not address the possibility of a double negative effect on female migrants' outcomes.…”
