“…Finally, regarding how the situation in Spain compares with the one reported in other countries, the results reached in terms of wages are quite similar to those reported for Canada by Beach and Worswick (1993), who find a negative effect for high-educated female women, Shamsuddin (1998) and Hayfron (2002). In turn, they appear to be different from the findings of Husted et al (2000) for Denmark, where only a minority of foreign-born women (Pakistani) faces, on average, a double penalty and those reported by other studies based in less sophisticated techniques.…”

“…However, several studies for Canada and the US do not share this result. For example, Long (1980) for the US and Beach and Worswick (1993) for Canada, found that the wages of immigrant women, conditional on their characteristics, were higher than that of native women, thus rejecting the hypothesis of a double-negative effect on the wages of immigrant females. In section 4, we comment on how our findings compare with those reported in the previous literature on the issue.…”

“…Japanese, Korean and Chinese women have the highest degree of assimilation in the labor market. Parallel research in Canada presented evidence that the initial earnings differential for Canadian immigrant women is likely permanent and may be even worse for highly educated women (Beach and Worswick, 1993 (Borjas, 1986). A study in Germany shows that the earnings of selfemployed Germans are not much different from the earnings of the self-employed immigrants.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis chapter deals with the economic and ethnic diversity caused by international labor migration, and their economic integration possibilities. It brings together three strands of literature dealing with the neoclassical economic assimilation, ethnic identities and attitudes towards immigrants and the natives, and provides an analysis in understanding their interactions. The issue of how immigrants fare in the host country especially in terms of their labor force participation and remuneration has been the core of research in the labor migration literature. If immigrants fare as well as the natives, then they are economically assimilated. While some immigrant groups do, most do not, especially in Europe. Of equal importance is how immigrants identify with the culture of their home and receiving countries, and if natives and immigrants have the right attitudes about each other. Ethnic identities and attitudes seem to be less affected by the economic environment but have implications for economic performance.

“…It is, however, unable to provide a comprehensive account of earnings inequalities in general and immigrant and native-born earnings differentials in particular (Li, 2003). Other social and structural characteristics of the labour market impinge on the relationship between educational credentials and earnings (Beach & Worswick, 1993;Kunz, Milan & Schetagne, 2000).…”

The study uses the 2002 Ethnic Diversity Survey (EDS) to examine the relationship between immigrants' educational credentials and earnings. Three aspects of an individual's credentials are considered: country of origin, level of education, and field of study. In addition, we examine the constraining effects of gender and visible minority status on the ability of immigrants to negotiate the value of their educational credentials in the Canadian labour market.
