“…Reflecting on our theoretical argument that the signalling function of part-time work might vary across different part-time categories and for different types of women, our findings have shown that even when considering compositional and structural differences, immigrant women experience a stronger outsider position in comparison to native women across all working time categories, hinting at double disadvantage in those groups (Rubin et al, 2008). In this regard, the signalling of different types of part-time job works for native women in a positive way by reducing risks and enhancing opportunities (stepping stone), whereas the negative signal is particularly strong for immigrant women working marginal part-time and substantial part-time, which can be considered as a trap.…”

“…As in other European countries, most immigrants were employed before the crisis, though they were concentrated in unskilled and low-paid jobs (Bernardi et al, 2011). Moreover, they were overrepresented in part-time work, often on a non-voluntary basis (Rubin et al, 2008). Immigrant women satisfied the demand for domestic workers that was driven by the labour market absorption of native women (Da Roit et al, 2013).…”

“…Not only are people of migrant origin less likely to be employed, they generally receive lower wages, more frequently have short-term contracts, and are over-represented in blue-collar jobs or secondary positions in the labour market (Corluy and Verbist 2014; OECD 2008; Urso and Schuster 2013). Facing a double disadvantage as a result of combining disadvantages related to both gender and ethnicity (Rubin et al 2008), migrant women experience more difficulties than native women in securing a position in the labour market, and ethnic penalties have been shown to be larger for women than is the case for men (Corluy and Verbist 2014; Urso and Schuster 2013). Considering the links between family formation, employment trajectories and pension protection, migrant women are much less likely than natives to combine employment with having young children (Rubin et al 2008).…”
