“…Family cohesion is stronger among those families who migrated more recently to the United States (Harris and Chen 2004; Phinney, Ong, and Madden 2000). Generation status affects multiple dimensions of well-being, including income and wealth (Card 2009; Hao 2007; Hyde, Pais, and Wallace 2015), educational attainment (Fry 2007), psychological health (Harker 2001), and language knowledge and use (Lutz 2006; Rumbaut 1997). These characteristics may be both a cause and a consequence of young adults’ relationships with their parents and overall family solidarity.…”

Parents play a key role in launching their children into adulthood. Differences in the resources they provide their children have implications for perpetuating patterns of family inequality. Using data on 6,962 young adults included in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, we examine differences in the support parents provide to young adult children by immigrant status and race/ethnicity and whether and how those differences are explained by parent resources and young adult resources and roles. Immigrant status and race/ethnicity are associated with patterns of support in complex ways. We find that racial/ethnic and immigrant disparities in perceptions of support, financial support, and receiving advice from parents about education or employment are explained by family socioeconomic resources. Group differences in whether young adults say they would turn to a parent for advice and coresidence persist after accounting for these factors, however. Young adult resources and roles also shape parental support of young adults in the transition to adulthood, but taking account of these characteristics does not explain immigrant and racial/ethnic group differences. Our findings highlight the need to consider both race/ethnicity and immigrant status to understand family relationships and sources of support.

“…To attract more Latino workers, they advertised in Spanish-language media, ''raided'' other employers (stealing away their Latino workers), and encouraged local in-migrants to use their network resources to attract other Latinos from out-of-state (Johnson-Webb 2002). Now that new destinations have matured, employers can rely on employee networks to quickly fill positions with a readily available supply of Latino labor -a process that, according to a recent study, exacerbates economic inequality in new small-town destinations (Hyde et al, 2015). A restaurant manager explains: ''[I]f you have a job opening, you don't have to advertise.…”

“…In the Norwegian case, was the 'degraded job structure' created first and migrants recruited second? While Hyde et al (2015) argue that the US for several decades has seen a hollowing of the middle-class and increasing polarisation, similar trends are perhaps not fit to describe the Nordic countries, which, according to several studies, have a lower risk of polarisation of employment structure (Gallie, 2007;Mustosmäki et al, 2017).…”

“…According to Hyde et al (2015), the literature discussing the relationship between inequality and immigration can roughly be divided into two camps. Supply-side perspectives argue that increasing immigration drives up income inequality (Borjas, 1999;Card, 2009), while demand-side perspectives argue that increased inequality is the result of economic restructuring, which in turn attracts higher numbers of immigrants (Piore, 1979;Sassen, 2001).…”

Labour migration and increasing inequality in Norway

This paper explores the contested relationship between migration and income inequality, using labour migration to Norway as a case. The enlargements of the European Union starting in 2004 were followed by an unprecedented increase in labour migration to Norway. In particular, many rural regions, previously unfamiliar with immigration, have experienced a large influx of labour migrants. In the same period, income inequality has increased. This paper uses register data on the municipality level from 2005–2016 to discuss (a) the direction of the relationship between labour migration and income inequality; (b) the degree to which labour migration affects inequality (in general and within the native population) compared to other immigrant groups; and (c) whether the effects are different in rural and urban municipalities. Findings show that labour migration from the ‘new’ European Union countries is followed by higher income inequality in Norway. No support is found for the reversed causal relationship that increasing inequality causes higher numbers of labour migrants. The effect of labour migration on overall inequality is considerable, but not as strong as the effect of refugees. However, as opposed to refugees, labour migration also affects income inequality within the native population, but this effect is only significant in rural areas.
