abstract: 'Although women''s representation among international migrants in many

  countries has risen over the last 100years, we know far less about

  gender gaps in the labor force participation of immigrants across a wide

  span of host societies. Prior studies have established that immigrant

  women are doubly disadvantaged in terms of labor market outcomes in the

  U.S., Canada, and Israel. These studies suggest an intriguing question:

  Are there gender gaps in immigrant labor force participation across

  destinations countries? In this paper, we investigate the extent to

  which the double disadvantage exists for immigrant women in a variety of

  host countries. We also examine how marriage moderates this double

  disadvantage. For the U.S., although we find that immigrant women have

  had the lowest labor force participation rates compared to natives and

  immigrant men since 1960, marital status is an important stratifying

  attribute that helps explain nativity differences. Extending the

  analysis to eight other countries reveals strong gender differences in

  labor force participation and shows how marriage differentiates

  immigrant women''s labor force entry more so than men''s.'
