1 Are Canadian immigrant women secondary workers? Alicia Adsera (Princeton University) and Ana Ferrer (University of Waterloo)
2 Interest on immigrant assimilation o Mostly focused on economic assimilation of immigrant males o Immigrant assimilation of women is more complex However, many immigrants move as a family, which means that important decisions regarding assimilation such as participation, education and fertility - are taken within the household Evidence of increasing (male) immigrant skill depreciation sparked interest in understanding the role of immigrant women in supporting family assimilation Adsera & Ferrer Conference on the Economics of Immigration. Ottawa. October 18th, 2013
3 Economists have long considered the interdependence of family members decisions, arguing that family members will efficiently engage in labour division and insure each other against productivity shock s In credit constrained households, shocks to male productivity will affect female s participation Long (1980) Immigrant women should be more likely to participate in the labour force upon entering the country than similar native-born women. As spouses assimilate, immigrant women s participation rates should converge to those of the native born Adsera & Ferrer Conference on the Economics of Immigration. Ottawa. October 18th, 2013
4 Earlier studies: Duleep and Sanders (1993), Worswick (1996, 1999), Baker and Benjamin (1997), Blau et al. (2003) Identifying marital status: Cobb-Clark and Crossley (2004), Basilio et al (2009), Cohen-Goldner, et al. (2009) Mixed evidence depending on country under study and time period: Duleep and Dowhan (2002), Kim and Varansi (2012) Adsera & Ferrer Conference on the Economics of Immigration. Ottawa. October 18th, 2013
5 Distinct interest of the Canadian case (distinct composition of immigration) New data with more detailed information, suitable to study the new immigration. CENSUS Two new dimensions: o Use of linguistic measures developed in Adsera and Pytliková (2012) to assess the role of linguistic proximity between Canada and the country of origin on the earnings assimilation of immigrant women. o Use of skills indexes developed in Imai et al. (2011) from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) that we match to 4-digit occupation categories contained in the Census NOC to study the skill mobility of immigrant women. Adsera & Ferrer Conference on the Economics of Immigration. Ottawa. October 18th, 2013
6 Use multiple census ( ) to follow immigrant cohorts over time (over 850,000 observations) Interact assimilation profiles with family immigrant status Y it X it 1 j h, w t k kt C jk * t t it We look at LFP and occupational skills X includes, husband characteristics, fertility, a polynomial in age, education, location and linguistic ability Adsera & Ferrer Conference on the Economics of Immigration. Ottawa. October 18th, 2013

Census Canadian born Immigrant Age LFP 81% 72% in low skill 25% 25% university 7% 19% Education Skill index HS or less Non university Bachelor Graduate Interpersonal Strength Analytical Immigrant women work in jobs requiring lower interpersonal and analytical skills, more strength skills
9 Immigrant women will be more likely to participate in the labour force upon entering the country than similar nativeborn women (to finance husband s investments in local skills) As spouses assimilate, immigrant women s participation rates should converge to those of native-born women Higher participation in low skill jobs the greater the gains from husband s investment in local human capital Immigrant women will experience less occupational mobility (flatter occupational profiles) than similar native-born women Adsera & Ferrer Conference on the Economics of Immigration. Ottawa. October 18th, 2013
10 Odds Ratio Odds ratio Participation of immigrant women (Fertility + H s wage + Linguistic D) 1,2 LFP immigrant women NB 1,0 0,8 0,6 0,4 Cohort 91 Cohort 96 Cohort 01 Cohort 06 0,2 LFP in low analytical skills LFP in low analytical jobs - Educated husband 1,2 1,0 1,2 1,0 0,8 0,6 0,4 0,8 0,6 0,4 0,2 0,2

12 No high participation that diminishes over time, but low participation that increases over time (like men) Higher participation in low skilled jobs, flatter for earlier cohorts but not for those entering after 1990s. Only slightly larger for those with educated husbands. No reduction over time Flat or declining skill mobility Issues What are the patterns for highly educated women? How do these women compare with other immigrants that are less constrained (those married to NB husbands)? Adsera & Ferrer Conference on the Economics of Immigration. Ottawa. October 18th, 2013
13 Immigrant women participation in low skilled jobs - University Odds Ratio Odds Ratio 2,2 1,8 LFP of university women in low analytical skill jobs 1,4 Univ. NB women 1,0 0,6 2,2 LFP in low analytical skill jobs 1,8 1,4 NB women 1,0 0,6

15 The fraction of university-educated immigrant women in jobs requiring low of levels skills, remains high for the cohort - particularly later cohorts No assimilation However, university educated immigrant women do experience skill progression over time. It might be slower than that of university educated native born women Adsera & Ferrer Conference on the Economics of Immigration. Ottawa. October 18th, 2013
16 Immigrant women participation in low skilled jobs By family type Odds Ratio Odds Ratio 2,2 LFP in unskilled jobs (low analytical skills) University, IMM husband 1,8 Univ. NB women 1,4 1,0 0,6 LFP in unskilled jobs (low analytical skills) University, NB husband 2,2 1,8 Univ. NB women 1,4 1,0 0,6
17 The patterns of LFP of recent Canadian immigrant females show higher participation in low skilled jobs, driven by a disproportionate fraction of university educated women occupying these jobs. In the long run, the fraction of immigrant women in low skilled jobs converges to that of the native born. Conditional on participation, immigrant women show very little skill progression over time. However, university educated women do. Different from previous results Likely related with new, more educated, type of immigrant woman Employment assimilation patterns of immigrant women are complex and require more research and better data Adsera & Ferrer Conference on the Economics of Immigration.
