abstract: 'In this paper, primary and secondary sector employment corresponds

  broadly to `good'' and `bad'' jobs. Previous studies indicate that

  non-English-speaking background (NESB) migrant women are

  under-represented in `good jobs'' but none of those studies evaluates

  their chance of finding `good jobs'' in Australia. This study estimates

  their probability of getting good jobs and compares this with that of

  Australian-born women. The probability of securing good jobs for each of

  these groups is also estimated separately, based on a new general probit

  model, after classifying women into primary and secondary sector

  employment from their occupational categories and incomes using 2016

  Australian Census data. It showed that NESB migrant women had

  significantly lesser probability of securing primary sector employment

  compared to Australian-born women. While this difference is narrowing

  over time, NESB migrant women''s progress in accessing `good jobs'' has

  been slow. Improving English proficiency, education, recognition of

  overseas qualifications and experience can significantly increase their

  chances of attaining good jobs. This study provides an exact estimate of

  the probability of securing good jobs for both groups and the relevance

  of different determinants for this difference so that proper actions can

  be taken to improve the employment situation of NESB migrant women.'
