Evolution of employment of female immigrants in the Spanish labour market. The impact of the current financial crisis
Abstract
This paper explores the impact of the current financial crisis on employment of female immigrants by conducting empirical analysis based on the Spanish Labour Force Survey, from 2000 until 2010. Results show that female immigrants are less affected by the recession in comparison to male immigrants. At the same time, human capital of female immigrants is more effective against the employment fall in comparison to male immigrants, of which the unemployment rate shows a higher growth. As for Spanish women, employment rates show the smallest drop since the recession, having the same effect on high as well as low educated women. Finally, time in the labour market only has a positive impact on prospects of female natives.
