Impact of Low‐Skilled Immigration on Female Labour Supply
研究了低技能移民从事家政服务对本土女性劳动供给的影响,发现高技能女性增加工作时间,低技能女性增加就业参与,且家庭政策支持少的国家影响更大。
Abstract In this paper, segmenting the market by educational levels, we investigate which native‐born women are more affected by an increase of low‐skilled immigrants working in the household service sector. We present a model of individual choice with home production and, using a harmonized dataset (the Cross‐National Equivalent File), we estimate its main comparative static results. The results suggest that the share of immigrants working in services is positively associated with an increase of native‐born women's labour supply at the intensive margin, if skilled, and at the extensive margin, if unskilled. Moreover, the results show that these effects are larger in countries with less‐supportive family policies.
