abstract: 'The current surge in forced migration to Europe is probably the largest
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and most complex since the Second World War. As population aging
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accelerates and fertility falls below replacement level, immigration may
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
be seen as a key component of human capital to address labor and skill
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shortages. Receiving countries are, however, hesitant about the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contribution that forced migrants can make to the local economy. Coupled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with increasing pressure on welfare services, they are associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increased job competition and crime. Underutilization of immigrants''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skills is, however, a waste of resources that countries can scarcely
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
afford. Understanding the labor market integration process of forced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
migrants is thus critical to develop policies that unleash their full
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skills potential and ultimately foster local economic productivity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While prior studies have examined the employment and salary outcomes of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these immigrants at a particular point in time post-migration, they have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
failed to capture the temporal dynamics and complexity of this process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drawing on administrative data from Sweden, we examine the occupational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pathways of forced migrants using sequence analysis from their arrival
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in 1991 through to 2013. Findings reveal polarized pathways of long-term
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor market integration with over one-third of refugees experiencing a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
successful labor market integration pathway and an equally large share
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
facing a less fruitful employment outcomes. Our findings suggest
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education provision is key to promote a more successful integration into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the local labor market by reducing barriers of cultural proximity and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasing the occurrence of entrepreneurship activity.'
