abstract: 'The main objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
description of the economic outcomes and performance of Britain''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrant communities today and over the last two decades. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distinguish between males and females and, where possible and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
meaningful, between immigrants of different origins. Our comparison
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
group is white British-born individuals. Our data source is the British
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Labour Force Survey. We first provide descriptive information on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
composition of immigrants in Britain, and how this has changed over
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
time, their socio-economic characteristics, their industry allocation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and their labour market outcomes. We then investigate various labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market performance indicators (labour force participation, employment,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wages and self-employment) for immigrants of different origins, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compare them with British-born whites of the same age, region and other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
background characteristics. We find that over the last 20 years,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Britain''s immigrant population has changed in origin composition and has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dramatically improved in skill composition - not dissimilar from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trend in the British-born population. We find substantial differences in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic outcomes between white and ethnic minority immigrants. Within
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these groups, immigrants of different origins differ considerably with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
respect to their education and age structure, their regional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distribution and their sector choice. In general, white immigrants are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more successful in Britain, although there are differences between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups of different origins. The investigation shows that immigrants
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from some ethnic minority groups, and in particular females, are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particularly disadvantaged, with Pakistanis and Bangladeshis at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lower end of this scale.'
