The Impact of Temporary Protected Status on Immigrants' Labor Market Outcomes
研究了美国临时保护身份(TPS)对移民就业和收入的影响,发现TPS资格提高了女性的就业率和男性的收入,对理解大规模临时合法化政策有参考价值。
The United States currently provides Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to more than 300,000 immigrants. TPS is typically granted if dangerous conditions prevail in migrants' home countries. Individuals with TPS are allowed to stay and work in the United States temporarily. Little is known about how TPS affects beneficiaries, most of whom are unauthorized prior to receiving TPS. Our results suggest that TPS eligibility leads to higher employment rates among women and higher earnings among men. The results have implications for recent programs that allow millions of unauthorized immigrants to receive temporary permission to remain and work in the United States.
