abstract: 'The behaviour of married immigrant women regarding fertility and labour
|
|
|
|
|

|
markets is an essential piece to understand the economic and cultural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
integration of immigrant households. However, the contribution of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
married immigrant women to the Canadian labour market was-until
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recently-considered of secondary importance and their labour market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
choices studied within an economic framework of temporary attachment to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the labour force. Recent research, however, finds that a significant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fraction of married immigrant women make labour supply decisions (and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
face barriers) similar to those of native-born married women. We show
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that this is the case in Canada as well, by estimating the progress of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrant women over the 2000s. We use traditional measures of labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market outcomes, such as participation, employment and wages, but also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
novel estimates of labour market dynamics, such as transitions across
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour market states to show the work trajectories of married Canadian
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrant women. Results show that immigrant women are less likely to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transition into employment-more likely to transition out of employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to either unemployment or inactivity-and more likely to respond to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income shocks than the Canadian born. There is evidence of a gradual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
convergence with years spent in Canada to the outcomes of the Canadian
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
born, which is much slower for immigrant women than immigrant men.'
