Occupation mismatch in Brazilian Metropolitan Areas: comparing immigrants and natives

Luiz Carlos Day Gama Ana Hermeto Philipe Scherrer Mendes

Abstrak

We aim to study the role of labor market mismatch in the context of international migration. Mismatch employment occurs when high-skill workers are employed in occupations that do not need such education and vice versa. The results show: i) undereducation is on average lower among immigrants, while overeducation is higher among immigrants; ii) immigrants are more likely to be employed than natives; iii) mismatch is important in explaining wages; iv) there are differences in occupational mismatch effects; v) the immigrant’s place of origin is not important to explain occupation status but it is very important to explain differences in wages.
