abstract: 'The resettlement model supported by the US government aims to help
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recently arrived refugees achieve economic self-reliance within the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
first 90 to 180 days of arrival. In addition to the challenges they face
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in adapting to their new locations, however, refugees enter a US labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market characterized by preexisting wage disparities based on race and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender. Meanwhile, recent changes in US refugee and immigration policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have infused debates over nationalism, Islamophobia, and the economics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of resettlement. In this context, it is critical to assess whether
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
refugees face wage discrimination that may affect their ability to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
become economically self-reliant. Drawing on the International Rescue
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Committee''s administrative data on refugee resettlement, we examine the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extent to which starting wages for newly arrived refugees differ by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
region of origin and gender. The study found consistent gender pay gaps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among the majority of new arrivals. The study also identified lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wages for refugees arriving from sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Caribbean compared to other regions. These trends suggest a need for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more consistent agency monitoring of employment placement, and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development of strategies to ensure more equitable employment outcomes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for refugees.'
