“…Research outside of the United States also rarely examines the experience of Black African immigrants: European research generally focuses on Africans in the aggregate and therefore is heavily skewed towards the experience of North Africans who are the majority African group in these countries (de la Rica et al, 2013). Given the preponderance of evidence indicating that Black immigrants experience unique labour market disadvantages regardless of host country (Chehata, 2012; Creese & Wiebe, 2009; Hamilton et al, 2018; Tesfai, 2021), it is imperative that research examining the impact of country context includes Black African immigrants.…”

American immigration policy debates focus on immigrants' (lack of) labour market success. While research shows that Black African immigrants experience the largest wage disadvantage, studies rarely discuss whether country‐context—formed by immigration policy and migration history—matters for their wages and whether race matters differently across place. We use Israeli and US data to determine whether Ethiopian immigrants are most disadvantaged across country contexts. Our results indicate that Ethiopian immigrants' credentials are higher in the United States, but that does not lead to higher relative wages than in Israel. Because we find that Ethiopian immigrants who are most similar to the native‐born earn nearly identical wages to the most marginalized groups in both countries, it is clear that country context plays only a small role in wage disparities. Instead, discrimination and unobserved differences between groups are most important.

Background There are noted birth defects prevalence differences between race/ethnicity groups. For instance, non‐Hispanic (NH) Black mothers are more likely to have an infant with encephalocele, although less likely to have an infant with anotia/microtia compared to NH Whites. When stratifying by nativity and years lived within the United States, additional variations become apparent. Methods Data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study were used to calculate descriptive statistics and estimate crude/adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) among NH Blacks with one of 30 major defects and non‐malformed controls. Total case/controls were as follows: U.S.‐ (2,773/1101); Foreign‐ (343/151); African‐born (161/64). Study participants were also examined by number of years lived in the U.S. (≤5 vs. 6+ years). Results Compared to U.S.‐born, foreign‐born NH Black controls tended to be older, had more years of education, and were more likely to have a higher household income. They also had fewer previous livebirths and were less likely to be obese. In the adjusted analyses, two defect groups were significantly attenuated: limb deficiencies, aORs/95%CIs = (0.44 [0.20–0.97]) and septal defects (0.69 [0.48–0.99]). After stratifying by years lived in the United States, the risk for hydrocephaly (2.43 [1.03–5.74]) became apparent among those having lived 6+ years in the United States. When restricting to African‐born mothers, none of the findings were statistically significant. Conclusions Foreign‐born NH Blacks were at a reduced risk for a few selected defects. Results were consistent after restricting to African‐born mothers and did not change considerably when stratifying by years lived in the United States.
