abstract: 'Unlike the situation in other immigrant-receiving countries, the impact
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of co-ethnic neighbourhoods on immigrants'' life outcomes has been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
understudied in Australia. In addition, because of reliance on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cross-sectional and sample survey data, existing Australian studies have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
not taken advantage of recent methodological progress that addresses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
selection bias. In that context, this paper estimates the impact of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
size of co-ethnic neighbourhoods on labour force participation,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment, hours worked and income of immigrants using microdata from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the 2006-16 Australian Census Longitudinal Dataset that spans three
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
censuses. Drawing on this unique dataset, the paper applies a series of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OLS regression models that address issues of individual and location
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sorting by applying individual-fixed effects, controlling for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
residential mobility, duration of residence and using an exogenous
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measure of co-ethnic neighbourhood size. We find a small significant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
negative effect on labour participation and wage, particularly for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
non-tertiary educated and immigrants with low English proficiency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, when we control for residential mobility, residence in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
co-ethnic neighbourhoods is no longer statistically significant, which
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highlights the importance of stringent methodological choices that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
control for settlement trajectories, while revealing that movement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
toward smaller co-ethnic neighbourhoods is associated with increased
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour force participation. Our findings suggest that efforts by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Australian government to settle immigrants in regional areas with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
limited migrant population should not affect the labour market outcomes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of immigrants given that ethnic enclaves do not facilitate labour market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
integration in Australia.'
