abstract: 'Much research to date has shown that migrants from the Global South to
the wealthier nations of the North often experience a devaluation of
their educational credentials, notably because their initial
qualifications are not recognised in their host countries. The limited
validity of educational achievements is often identified as the main
cause of the relatively unfavourable labour market outcomes of highly
skilled migrants, who tend to be concentrated in the least prestigious
employment sectors and to bare an unequal share of precarious jobs. In
this article, we adopt a slightly different approach to this issue, by
focussing on the professional and personal trajectories of migrants who
acquired education credentials in their host country. Although previous
research has stressed the difficulties faced by non-EU students in Swiss
HE institutions, both in terms of successfully completing their
educational programme and in finding qualified jobs afterwards, the aim
of the article is to better understand the gender dynamics that are
associated with post-graduation employment trajectories. By examining
the employment outcomes of Peruvian graduates, from Swiss Higher
Education (HE) institutions, we are able to reveal the influence of
educational credentials on their subsequent life-course is mediated by
events in other life spheres. Using a gender-sensitive approach, we
analyse the effects of legal barriers and family dynamics on the
employment trajectories of migrant graduates. We show that obtaining a
Swiss HE qualification is rarely enough to guarantee access to the upper
reaches of the Swiss labour market. In most cases, such qualifications
need to be combined with marriage to a Swiss (or EU) citizen before
these highly qualified migrants are able to settle legally in the host
country and start a career that is congruent to their educational
credentials. However, the family reunification route into legal
residency is not without its own hazards. For women in particular, it
may cancel out some of the advantages associated with having a Swiss
qualification and lead to precarious or under-qualified positions on the
labour market.'
