“…A growing number of studies have examined the associations between the amount of individual-level social capital and labor market incorporation, though only a few consider the actual relationship between “how immigrants found jobs” and earnings inequality (Lancee, 2016). A rather substantial literature, mostly based on Western cases, has emerged showing how network-mediated ethnic social capital can influence a variety of economic outcomes – including transition from unemployment to work (Lancee and Hartung, 2012; Livingston, 2006), work status (De Vroome and van Tubergen, 2010; Lancee, 2010), formal sector employment (Aguilera and Massey, 2003), job tenure (Aguilera, 2002), hourly wages, and monthly earnings (Aguilera, 2005; Allen, 2009; Amuedo-Dorantes and Mundra, 2007; Lancee, 2010; Levanon, 2011; Logan et al., 2003; Lu et al., 2013; Xie and Gough, 2011), occupational status (De Vroome and van Tubergen, 2010; Drever and Hoffmeister, 2008; Kanas et al., 2012; Kalter and Kogan, 2014; Lancee, 2012; Sanders et al., 2002; van Tubergen, 2011), ethnic entrepreneurship (Anthias and Cederberg, 2009; Kanas et al., 2009), and enclave-sector employment (Roth et al., 2012).…”
