Abstract

This article provides a detailed analysis of the employment performance of first – and second – generation immigrants in Belgium compared to that of the native-born. The results show, among other things, that first-generation immigrants suffer a substantial employment penalty compared to their native-born counterparts, but also that their descendants continue to face serious difficulties in accessing the labour market. The role of a large number of moderating variables, such as gender, education, country of origin of immigrants and their parents, national language proficiency, naturalization, length of residence and reason for migration, is also discussed in the article.
