2 2004 European Enlargement Free movement of people/workers among EU15 countries Enlargement in 2004 to 8(+2) Eastern European (low wage) countries Most of the EU15 made temporary exception to free movement from EU8 countries Only Ireland, Sweden and the UK allowed free movement from the day of accession What happened in the UK?

4 2004 European Enlargement Free movement of people/workers among EU15 countries Enlargement in 2004 to 8(+2) Eastern European (low wage) countries Most of the EU15 made temporary exception to free movement from EU8 countries Only Ireland, Sweden and the UK allowed free movement from the day of accession What happened in the UK?

5 Empirical Research Questions Are EU8 immigrants arrived after 2004 different from those arrived before? Are EU8 immigrants different from EU15 immigrants? How do EU8 and EU15 immigrants compare with British people? How do they compare with people who remained in the country of origin? (Ireland, Germany, Poland)

6 How do EU8 immigrants arrived after 2004 compare - to those arrived before 2004? - to other EU15 immigrants? - to British people?

7 UK Labour Force Survey Household dataset focusing on labour market and job characteristics of individuals living at private addresses in the UK Immigrants are captured in the dataset, but does not focus on immigrants Questions on country of birth, nationality, date of arrival in the UK We use data (plan to extend to 2013)

20 How do immigrants compare to those who remain in their country? (those who did not migrate) The case of Ireland, Germany, and Poland

21 EU Labour Force Survey Similar to UK LFS (household dataset focusing on labour market characteristics) Collected in all EU countries; harmonised across countries less detailed but reasonably comparable across countries Data availability (years of data collection) differs across countries Focus on Ireland, Germany and Poland LFS: the largest immigrant groups (enough observations in the UK LFS for comparison with Irish, German and Polish LFS)

22 Models y * ' it = X i 1 j γ + ε ij Same models as previous analysis but simpler; estimated separately for types of immigrants and countries of origin * Models analyse differences in ( y it ) : Employment (employed, self-employed, unemployed) Job characteristics (temporary + part-time + second job dummies) Other controls: (sex, age), marital status, dummies for qualification levels, dummies for (quarter and) year of the interview

23 Summary of Descriptive Stats With the exception of Irish people, migrants are younger and less likely to be married than the average (working age) population in the sending country Immigrants from Ireland and Germany have on average higher levels of education than those remaining in their country of origin; most Polish immigrants have levels of education which are not easily translated into British qualification ( other qualifications ) For Irish and German people, the distribution across activity levels is similar for immigrants and for those remaining in the country of origin. Polish people who migrated to the UK are comparatively more likely to be in paid employment and less likely to be self-employed, unemployed or inactive, compared to Polish people living in Poland

24 Summary of Model Results (2009) Irish and Polish people arrived in the UK before the enlargement have a larger probability of being self-employed than similar people in Ireland and Poland. If arrived after the enlargement, both Irish and Polish immigrants to the UK are less likely to be self-employed than those arrived before and than similar people who remained in the country of origin. German men are less likely to be self-employed in the UK than similar men remaining in Germany. The opposite seems to be true for German women. No differences across arrival cohorts Immigrants seem much less likely to be unemployed than similar people who did not migrate people may migrate when they have a good chance of securing a job abroad. Immigrants are also less likely to have a temporary or parttime job than similar people remaining in the country of origin.

25 Preliminary Conclusions There are clear differences between EU15 and EU8 immigrants and between EU8 immigrants arrived before and after the 2004 enlargement (in terms of region of residence, labour force participation and job characteristics) There are differences between immigrants and individual with similar observed characteristics who remain in their country of origin (but need to clarify how much of the difference may be due to differences in each country s labour market) Changes in immigration rules may have caused changes in the quality of immigrants arriving to the UK more work needed on this issue
