Beyond culture: source country female labour force participation and the earnings of immigrant women
研究发现来源国女性劳动参与率不仅通过性别观念影响移民女性,还通过提升其劳动技能来预测她们在加拿大的收入,且这一效应主要由职业分配差异解释。
Previous studies find a strong association between source country female labour force participation level and immigrant women’s labour market activity in the host country. This relationship is interpreted as the continued influence of source country gender role attitudes on women’s labour market behaviour. This article argues that the effect of source country female labour force participation rates extends beyond gender role attitudes by also contributing to labour market skills which help immigrant women navigate the host country labour market. When gender role attitudes are accounted for, source country female labour force participation rate is a strong predictor of immigrant women’s earnings in Canada. This is largely explained by differential occupational allocation in the host country.
