abstract: 'This research note takes an occupational attainment approach to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examining the economic assimilation of immigrants in Australia. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
approach differs from much of the existing literature, which tends to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examine economic assimilation by looking at levels of (un)employment or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wages. Focusing on occupational attainment is useful, in that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantage in the labour market is not limited to employment status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and earnings, and an individual''s occupation may provide a broader
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
signal of their economic and social well-being. Findings indicate that,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on arrival, immigrants from a non-English speaking background face
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant disadvantage in occupational attainment, particularly those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from Asian countries. There is also evidence to suggest that those who
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arrive later in life, or are from an Asian non-English speaking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
background, are the least likely to assimilate over time. Results are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicative of the need for policies to better integrate immigrants from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more diverse cultures and societies into the Australian labour market.'
