New Migrants in the UK: Employment Patterns and Occupational Attainment

We examine intersectionality on the basis of increasingly complex interactions between gender and ethnic groups, which we argue derive from the growing diversity of these groups. While we critique the concept of superdiversity, we suggest that increased diversity leads to a 'diversification of inequality'. This is characterised by an increasing incidence of inequality through the growth in migration and of the size and variety of ethnic minorities, and by a weakening of specific inequalities. We demonstrate this using the Labour Force Survey and conclude that there is a clear diversification of inequality but also that ethnicity is a more potent source of inequality than gender. Diversity also increases the reach of inequality through producing and increasing the number of intersections.

“…In particular, the article explores the impact of the UK business cycle on the labour market outcomes of these three foreign‐national groups and compares that impact with the one for British nationals. This approach differs from previous analysis of migration and UK labour markets, which have focused on other distinctions among groups such as UK born versus foreign born (Dustmann et al ., ) or UK‐born Whites versus several foreign‐born groups (Demireva, ). This article also provides insights on the possible future dynamics of A2 migration to the UK.…”

This article explores the labour market dynamics of three groups of highly skilled foreign nationals in the UK: non-European Union (EU), Old EU (i.e. nationals of the other 14 countries that were members of the EU before 2004), and A8 (i.e. countries that joined the EU in 2004 with the exception of Malta and Cyprus). In particular, the article explores the impact of the UK business cycle on the labour market outcomes of these three groups and compares that impact with the one for highly skilled British nationals. Key findings include the following: (1) there is more evidence about the business cycle having an impact on employment and unemployment outcomes for those highly skilled workers who have greater access to the UK labour market and welfare system (i.e. British, Old EU, and A8 nationals); and (2) better economic conditions relate to a higher probability of self-employment for British nationals and to a lower probability of self-employment for A8 nationals.
