Abstract

The aim of the paper is analyse the impact of the economic crisis in the career path of immigrant women according to their place of origin. The theoretical point of view considers the mutual influences between the typology of female migration patterns and the employment situation of immigrant women in the context of economic crisis in Spain. Based on data from the Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales for the period 2007-2013, the paper compares the career paths of women from Ecuador, Romania and Morocco. They are three typical cases due the volume representing the immigrant population and they allow comparing different migration traditions (Latin American, African and Eastern Europe). The results suggest that the current economic crisis has consequences on the relation between employment and gender with some changes and continuities in traditional roles.
