Liens entre les motifs de migration et l’origine géographique des migrants et leurs résultats sur les marchés du travail en Europe
2021
This paper aims to understand how the labour market integration of migrants in
Europe is affected, in an interrelated fashion, by their reason for migration and their region of
origin. Using recent data from the European Labour Force Survey, we distinguish immigrants to
Europe between four migration motives: economic, education, family reasons, or international
protection. We compare labour market outcomes of these categories of immigrants through
earnings, controlling for a variety of individual factors (including language skills and age at
migration), and we also investigate the role of selection into employment. Our results suggest
that an economic reason for migration together with already having a job upon arrival is positively associated with higher earnings, while, other things equal, refugees and family migrants are
more likely to end up with lower earnings. However, when estimating full interaction models, we
find that these results are highly dependent on where migrants come from.
