“…However, partner-related migrants have a lower occupational status in their first job than independent ones, after controlling for differences in social and human capital. A similar finding was reported about Congolese migrants in Belgium (Vause, 2011) and migrants of various origins in France (Roulleau-Berger, 2010;Toader, 2010). Possibly, the economic activities of women who follow their partners at destination are only meant to complement their husbands' income.…”

This article examines the ways in which the family context of migration and migrant networks shape the economic integration of immigrant women. It focuses on Senegalese women’s labour market outcomes in Europe, using recently collected quantitative data from the ‘Migration between Africa and Europe’ project. The family context of migration is one of the most important drivers of employment: women migrating independently are more likely to work than those who reunite with their partner at destination; marriage migrants are the least likely to be employed. In contrast, the role of migrant networks is less influential and depends largely on the family context. Sharing childcare is the most important function of social networks for women migrating with young children. For those migrating independently of a partner, female ties are the most influential social resource in securing employment. However, confirming previous qualitative findings, these networks lead to low-quality jobs upon arrival.

“…While the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is still afflicted by protracted armed conflicts in the eastern parts and while large parts of the increasingly politicised diaspora population are engaged in (sometimes violent) opposition against the current regime (Demart and Bodeux 2013), some Congolese migrants voluntarily leave Europe (partially) to try their luck in their country of origin (Lardeux 2012;Schoumaker et al 2013a). Some migrants always lived with a wish to return; for many others, the dream of a good life in Europe was dashed by experiences marked by discrimination and unemployment (Schoumaker et al 2013b;Vause 2011;Schoonvaere 2010). Such difficult experiences seem to have become more common in recent years due to the economic crises and rising unemployment levels in large parts of Europe.…”
