Funded Activity Summary

Do New Migrants move from Bad Jobs to Good Jobs: The Dynamics of Immigrant Settlement in Australia. This research investigates the dynamics of immigrant settlement in Australia. It studies the extent to which tightening up of the selection procedure for migrants and limiting access to social security has led to improved labour market success. It analyses the extent to which different groups of migrants who come from different countries and enter under different visa categories go through a phase of unemployment, followed by a ?bad job? (in terms of their previous qualifications, wage levels, satisfaction with the job, etc.) before moving into a ?good job?. The research uses modern econometric techniques on recent panel data.
