abstract: 'Research on the role of co-ethnic ties in immigrants'' labour market
|
|
|
|
outcomes has reached mixed conclusions. Some argue they are a valuable
|
|
|
|
resource, increasing immigrants'' labour force participation and wages;
|
|
|
|
others find negative effects such as trapping workers in low-quality
|
|
|
|
employment. Thus far very few quantitative studies have investigated
|
|
|
|
systematically the circumstances under which migrant networks work.
|
|
|
|
Taking advantage of unique data on Senegalese men in France, Italy and
|
|
|
|
Spain, this paper shows that the receiving context shapes the role of
|
|
|
|
pre-migration ties. In France, where the Senegalese community is
|
|
|
|
well-established and socio-economically diverse, networks lead to better
|
|
|
|
economic prospects. In contrast, pre-migration ties in Italy and Spain
|
|
|
|
mostly lead to the perpetuation of ethnic niches developed by the
|
|
|
|
Senegalese in small and precarious trade activities. The article
|
|
|
|
emphasizes the benefits of adopting a comparative and diachronic
|
|
|
|
approach and calls for future work on the factors shaping the role of
|
|
|
|
networks.'
